Two of the most interesting and vibrant cartoonists working today are Lisa Hanawalt and Jillian Tamaki. I was very excited to do a talk with both of them at the Society of Illustrators in February; if you missed it you can now check out this video of the event. Lisa and Jillian are both very inspiring - examples of their early work are especially fun to see. I am personally pleased that I didn't throw up. I was really, really nervous.

    This was excellent. I never would have guessed that all those projects you did (puppets, murals, etc.) were when you were experimenting with making less art!

    That was SUPER inspiring! Thanks for sharing! You look like such a nice person! I could quite understand what you were talking about in your talk.
    I am almost done studying illustration in Germany, and am trying to figure out how to play out things in the near future, even more because I am not satisfied with what I learned at school! So it's nice to hear three awesome and humble ladies talk about their unique paths...
    Anyways, thanks again for sharing this!

      Thanks Gaelle! I'm glad you liked it. I just had a really good time checking out your work, it's lovely! I especially like the print with the monstery man and the kids in a tree.

    That was awesome, thanks for posting the link or I wouldn't have seen it. So many interesting topics, I'm an illustration student and I can tell you it's gold being able to listen to you guys talk about comics and illustration making like that. I love your work by the way, I first saw it in Mome and it was one of the works that really opened up my eyes to comics besides manga and made me interested in making my own comics! So thank you!
