Drawing Inspiration 75: Breathing Life into the Pages of Vintage Books with Craig Williams
Mike talks about his recent perpetual journal entries, an Instagram reel, and celebrates some friends who have reached 100 episodes of their podcast. Mike also talks about his live draws, being kind to yourself, and using social media for your own needs. Mike is then joined by Craig Williams. Craig has an interesting story from a science degree to illustrating some interesting animals in his home in Tasmania. His use of graphite is incredible, and his journey to acrylic has produced some incredible bird illustrations on the pages of vintage books.
