Love it!

I just discovered this podcast and have been really enjoying the questions asked. I feel like I’m getting a lot of great inside information on how an illustrator really works.

Helpful (except for the Semplice part)

Semplice is the worst website builder ever, it’s hard to use, confusing to understand and slow in response. It should never be recommended ever ever ever.
Other than that the host knows what to ask and overall the podcast is very helpful.
