I’m downloading as we speak! Glad to have ya back!

Funnily enough I was only thinking yesterday morning while I waited for the train about your twitter comment about mentorship and how it’d be awesome if they conducted apprenticeships in illustration. That way you could get good advice and a solid start in the industry without having to mentally destroy yourself by trying to think of everything you’ll need to be successful.

Now I have another podcast to subscribe to as well. Cool. I need more listening material. Helps keep the 3 hour daily commute to a bearable level. :-P
