I can't believe Ive just found this illustrator. Im almost annoyed at myself. She describes herself as an illustration journalist, which is exactly what I want to do. Not only that but she also tackles real life issues in order to shine a light onto certain issues. I feel like she's the older, more experienced version of me.
I might email her and ask if I can fly out to San Fran and meet her, intern with her, or just grab a coffee. Its quite far to go for a coffee, but Im planning a trip to the US soon as my best friend lives out there. Once Ive finished this book, i'll send her some images from it and see what she thinks, I mean she's probably super busy and won't have time to reply, but if I can get across that I want to illustrate for positive social change maybe she would take the time.
Ah so happy Ive found her work! It really makes me believe that there is a context in the working world for my work to exist and be successful. Makes me believe the dream can be a reality, just need to work hard to get there.
