Late Night Portraits

I did some portrait sketching last night of Ujwala Prabhu and Serena Lewis for Julia Kay’s Portrait Party.

In the background, I was listening to the Escape from Illustration Island Podcast. The podcast is geared towards freelance illustrators and I’m not quite used to all the lingo they use, but I have gotten a lot out of the discussions. Some of my favorite artists are/were also illustrators.

Sometimes I prefer listening to podcasts over music in my studio. It feels a little less lonely to hear the conversations go back and forth (and I can only stand so much NPR). I especially liked the latest podcast with Stephanie Levy. I knew she was an American living in Germany, but for some reason I always thought of her as having more of a Chicago, not a Tennessee accent.
