This is a new concept on my channel, where one of you guys interviews me on my own vidcast. I call it an #InterYOU!
Hilary Moses, Animator, Capilano University teacher and MA Candidate at University of Hertfordshire, interviews me on Skype. We recorded the conversation for your listening pleasure! Listen in as we talk about some dear topics to illustrators, including getting started, self promotion, postcards, agents, and even knowing our story before putting ourselves out there. Very sorry about the quality of the video — Skype has its advantages and disadvantages for sure!
