The Illustration Department’s Illustrators’ Day

Giuseppe Castellano talks to the attendees of The Illustration Department’s Illustrators’ Day in this “campfire” episode.

Recorded on September 24, 2022, the attendees explain why they chose illustration as a profession; why authors should never say “my illustrator” (with help from illustration collector and author, Roger Reed); what frustrates them most about being an illustrator; and more.

The sound is a little off, but what the attendees share—their wisdom, insight, and advice—is excellent.
