Balancing Passion, Play and Practicality in the Freelance Journey?
Description
As the recipient of this year’s Golden Ticket, I’m excited to share some insights I’ve gained throughout my journey as a freelance illustrator. We’ll dive into the art of balancing passion with practicality, navigating the highs and lows of the creative life. We’ll explore how to gather your mental troops and strategize your thoughts to tackle big creative projects, uncover the power of goofing around, and discuss the constant struggle between making art and making rent. Finally we’ll be picking up the glove with the 'Dynamic duo of Doom': Imposter Syndrome and Social Media. If you want to see a lot of intricate ‘Horror Vacuï’-illustrations and maybe experience some ‘aha!’ moments: this one’s for you!
