"It's not always what you can do that makes you who you are. Sometimes the things that you don't do well create your style." - AG Ford

We have a bit of a different episode in store for you this week: an interview with a local illustrator AG Ford, who’s worked on children’s book series like Construction Site and Magic Tree House.

AG and I discussed just how hard it is to break into the world of illustration, what he learned in art school, and what his current work-life balance looks like.

We also talked about art in general, why being different is better than being better in the artistic world, and why he wouldn’t trade his current lifestyle for any other.

Chapters:

(00:00:00) Introducing AG Ford
(00:03:48) Embracing Imperfections for Unique Artistic Style
(00:17:23) Redefining Artistic Success Through Personal Journey
(00:21:06) Finding Balance: Artistic Creativity and Financial Stability
(00:25:55) Navigating Artistic Integrity in Commercial Ventures
(00:33:59) Illustration Process Timeline for Picture Books
(00:43:52) Diversifying Your Artistic Skillset
(00:53:17) Creating a Balanced Routine for Work-Life Harmony
