Hello, everybody. Welcome to Three Point Perspective, the podcast about illustration, how to do it, how to make a living at it, and how to make an impact of the world with your art. I'm Jake Parker. I'm Lee White.

0:14.6

And I'm Will Terry, and all three of us are professional illustrators. We've all worked for all the major publishers in the business.

0:24.4

Together, we've published somewhere around 75 children's books and we've all taught illustration at university art programs. That's right. Each week we come at you guys with

0:28.4

fantastic illustrator interviews or awesome listener questions, maybe some just like you might have.

1:39.5
