Today I received the first draft of the story for the second Elijah and Crumpet kids book that I’ll be illustrating. I chat about planning the book using a storyboard, the benefit of working in layers and creating a list of drawings that can be scheduled against your deadline.

Living and working as an artist in a bus

Discover what’s at the Fork in the Road between starving and thriving artist. 

I’m Andy, and I’m a kids book illustrator obsessed with the concept of how you can change course from that of the starving artist to the path of the thriving artist.

I believe all the answers are out there right in front of us in the artists we know and love. Because as they say success leaves clues, so I’m becoming part detective and part guinea pig. As each week I’ll be interviewing artists that are making money, surviving and thriving. Then I'll be implementing what I learn in my own creative practice.
