The Illustration Department Podcast

One of my go-to creative podcasts!! I love how real this podcast is - it’s packed with value and super relevant information in a relaxed, conversational format. Always engaging topics, the perfect amount of humour and light-heartedness while also asking the hard questions and challenging thoughts as well. I always go away feeling inspired, entertained and optimistic. I feel incredibly lucky to be a fly on the wall in these conversations, how lucky we are to have Giuseppe. Giuseppe! A huge thank you for doing what you do! You are a force in the industry for sure and on behalf of all of us listening - we deeply appreciate your energy, enthusiasm, wit, honesty, curiosity and dedication. Thank you so so much. Clare

Listening to the podcast and doing some of ID’s classes has renewed my sense of direction and purpose in this industry, with practical advice and a genuine sense of community. Giuseppe is a host with in-depth knowledge and industry experience that brings out the best in his guests.

This podcast is an invaluable resource. As an author-illustrator, who is still finding her way up this giant mountain, I am always reassured to hear the insights from your guests, Giuseppe. Their voices are like markers, pointing me in the right direction. You ask the tough questions that people really want to know and always seem to elicit an authentic response. Whenever I listen to an interview, it’s as if I have a cheer squad in my studio, drowning out the drone of my own self doubt… ‘hey,´ I think, ´there’s a whole world of people out there, who get this need to make things…’ & suddenly, I’m not so alone. Thank you

Giuseppe, a huge thank you for your wonderful inspiring interviews. Your questions are intelligent and thoughtful, and I love the insights you bring to the conversation along with your incredible guests. I find myself in total agreement with everything you say! I’ve been an illustrator in Australia for over 30yrs but still learn a ton of new things from listening to your podcast. I hope you keep it going a long time! : )
