The School of Illustration: Recent Episodes
The School of Illustration
Hey there! We’re husband and wife team Nick and Frances Moffatt, illustrators and Co-Founders of The School of Illustration, and we’re here to help you live your best creative life! With a combined 30+ years’ experience in freelance illustration and higher education, we’ll be taking a deep dive into just what it takes to have a successful career as a freelance illustrator. We’ll look at everything from inspiration and motivation to business, entrepreneurship, and wellbeing, and most importantly, how to have fun and enjoy the journey.
In this episode we take a run at the old chestnut that is the creative voice (for what we are sure will be the first of many such visits), looking at what your creative voice actually is and why it is useful to you as an illustrator or creative in any field. We discuss being authentic, the importance of balancing creative success with commercial success, the joys of collaboration, Elvis Presley and Frances' love of magicians.
