Summary

What is creative success? For Lucy Bellwood, there is no singular, one definition for that success. For her, it’s a nebulous thing that is different for nearly everyone. Some view it as financial success while others view it as peace of mind. Hear her story about growing up in an immigrant culture, her adventures on the sea, and her role as a cartoonist in our latest episode!

Lucy Bellwood is an adventurous cartoonist-for-hire working out of Helioscope in Portland, Oregon. She is the creator of Baggywrinkles: a Lubber’s Guide to Life at Sea and likes making comics about boats.
