Fresh voices about “how things work”!

“When this podcast debuted, the hosts published the first 4 episodes (!), and so I binged listened to all four over a couple of days. Things I dig about this podcast: 1. Olga illustrates for traditional publishers, and Sunny illustrates for self-published authors. Which I think will bring a new perspective to illustrating children's books when we introduce the self-published/kickstarter variable into the equation. I look forward to their take on that. 2. Both have entered the children's book illustration industry later in life, and I'm always interested in what creators have to say when it comes to deciding to pursue a creative career after the kids have grown. 3. Both artists are fairly new to children's book illustration and are very candid about the things they did not know going in. In the first few episodes they often use the phrase, "how things worked," in the context of, "I didn't know how things worked." And I love that, because I think every industry-creative or otherwise-has this unwritten set of rules or guidelines of how things work. There's a way to break into every career, but if you know a little inside baseball, if you have a little knowledge up front about how things work, it makes the journey a little less rocky. So, final thoughts on this is: Listen to this podcast if you want some fresh, new perspectives on illustration and the children's book industry. Also, if you're getting into the game later on in life (um...hello-it me!) it's always refreshing hearing voices that are closer to your same age as an alternative to the twenty-something fresh out of art-school that got a contract with Scholastic on their first job interview. Yeah, nobody likes that person...except maybe Scholastic, but that's it!”Read full review »
