My first talk as an illustrator about balancing passion and play in my creative freelance journey

As the winner of this year’s "Golden Ticket" drawing competition (category: 'Global professional'), I was invited to take part in an epic week in Portugal at the global gathering of creative talent; Trojan Horse was a Unicorn. Besides the incredible lessons I learned and the lovely people I met, I also got the chance to talk to some of the attendees. Keep in mind that my talk was on the timetable right next to a talk of the illustrator of Avatar 'Way of Water', so I was surprised that I even had a crowd (a crowd that was mainly located on my right side since the room was symmetrical, so yes I filmed the wrong side :)

So have a listen to some random ideas and insights that I’ve gained throughout my journey as a freelance illustrator, navigating the highs and lows of the creative life. (Tip: headphones or subtitles help since the audio isn't splendid). Enjoy!
