87: Illustration, Urban Sketching and Kickstarting Your Creative Obsession with Christina Wald 

Mike begins reflecting on 2022 and looks to 2023. He talks about recent pieces, including a new subject for some digital work. Artist, Illustrator, and writer Christina Wald joins the podcast to discuss her journey from industrial design to working with properties such as Star Wars and Lord of the rings before illustrating over 60 children’s books. Her recent exploration of urban sketching has led her to author her first book, which has led to a Kickstarter.
