Illustrator

Matt Stevens

This is a man who’s making it happen. We were big fans of Matt’s AirMax1-A-Day Series before the interview and, needless to say, we’re now big fans of Matt. We were totally inspired listening to him talk about the self-inititated projects he’s done and what he’s learned about building his own momentum. He is super humble, genuine, and really good at his craft. Thank you, Matt, for reminding us that there is no excuse not to do what we love. —Tina

E.W. Thomason

When we set out to interview E.W. Thomason, we knew little about the illustrator whose work left our imaginations brimming with curiosity. After all, we didn’t even know if E.W. was a he or a she. So, we jumped down the rabbit hole, had a lovely chat, and discovered that Thomason really is as quick-witted and thoughtful as the work suggests. Take the journey with us as Thomason shares about memories of growing up in rural Alabama, taking a risk to pursue design, and the never-ending search to be satisfied creatively. Oh, and as for E.W.’s identity? We’ve been sworn to secrecy. —Tina

Naomi Atkinson

Naomi is as lovely as they come. We were thoroughly charmed by her brilliant English accent and her genuine interest in inspiring others. So what are you waiting for? Go make yourself a cup of tea, get cozy, and sit down to a good read as Naomi shares about taking risks, why her Mum is her mentor, and whether or not she’s creatively satisfied. Cheers! —Tina

Rachel Ann Lindsay

Looking at Rachel’s pen and ink drawings for the first time, we felt a sense of wonder over the way they made us feel like small children again. We just had to know more. Rachel graciously agreed to interview with us and we had the pleasure of speaking with her about overcoming the urge to draw perfectly, what and who helped her dive into full-time freelancing, and what she would say to a young artist starting out. —Tina
