He will be speaking about his life as a freelance illustrator, (which is the process of creating artwork that needs to communicate specific concepts or ideas), and how that differs from just making art for the sake of art.
He will touch on how he goes about creating the images and where he finds his inspiration. If time allows, he will also talk about the power of imagination.
