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 in the world with your art.

I'm Jake Parker, and I'm by myself today. Lee White and Will Terry are taking some much needed time off. And I just came into the studio to
