i'm curious, how did you find your creative voice and describe it. I was pretty lucky early on, i signed with an illustration agent just as i was emerging into this world of illustration. And i stayed with her for six years because she really was kind of instrumental in helping me understand what i needed to develop mor of to be a successful illustrator. You can't practice getting better at something every day and not get better at it. In two thousand 11, i hit that tipping point where a lot of the work that i was doing to become a more skilled artist started to pay off. Then it just didn't stop after that.
