I do like to read about the personal stories and backgrounds of the people whose work I admire. I read all the time the Roadside project by illustrator Jayme McGowan and I feel that I know her as if we were friends. I was listening to the podcast No illustrator is an island and they were talking about the importance of creating a narrative for your brand as an illustrator. I think personal stories are all about that. I would like to know how did you start working with clay. What are the challenges of that medium. Do you like to sketch a lot before starting? What other illustrators do you admire? I think that a way to help you with that fear of being expose is to think that someone else is interviewing you and to try to answer one question at a time with each post. That's my plan for my own blog. Good luck with your promotional efforts! Your pieces are gorgeous! I don’t know about that Emy.
