Caterpillar_Interview575w_MargaretHardy
In this episode Paper Wings host Lora Innes interviews her co-host Chris Oatley about his career and journey as a character designer, writer and podcaster.

Press PLAY and listen to Chris and Lora discuss:

  • How Chris got his big break to work at Disney.
  • Chris’ sloppy character design process.
  • How Chris got lost in art school and how it took him four years to find his way back.
  • Why grad school (and even art school) isn’t right for everyone.
  • Chris’ dreams for the future (big things for Paper Wings!)

Oh, and Chris announces the TITLE, URL and THE PITCH for his upcoming web comic!
