    Our creative income streams
    Today we’re talking about money, and sharing the multitude of ways we make money as illustrators and creatives. For most of us it’s not possible to “make it” by doing just one thing, which is why it’s good to have several income streams to make enough income to get by. We also talk about the kinds of creative work we do that doesn’t pay, and why that can be important too!We’re now on Patreon!

    Where we find inspiration
    One of our most asked questions on this podcast is where we get our inspiration, so we decided to treat you with a whole episode where we answer that question. And not just that! We also get deep about what we think inspiration even is, how it feels to be inspired, and how important we think inspiration is (or isn’t) for creativity.We’re now on Patreon!

    We’re not just illustrators!
    In this podcast we draw and talk about illustration, but we’re not just illustrators! In this episode we wanted to talk about all the other fun parts of our lives. This year has been very different and we haven’t been able to enjoy a lot of our favorite things. So if you’re feeling out of touch with your life at the moment (which, same!), we recommend doing what we did and listing all the fun things you are. It gave us both a fresh perspective and it felt so nice to talk about all the things we enjoy doing.We’re now on Patreon!

    Getting over art block
    We’re probably all familiar with art block - none of us can be creative all the time! But when you’re in the depths of it, it can feel impossible to get out and feel creative again. Finding that joy of creating can be a challenge, but like all of life, there are ups and downs. In this episode, we talk about times in our own lives of not being able to create, and share strategies that have worked for us in finding the joy of making art again. Because maybe that joy is more important than being productive?We’re now on Patreon!
