Jannie Ho discusses her creative journey—from the different hats she wore in the children’s book publishing industry, to the path that led her to being an illustrator and a cartoonist. In her comic, Creative Obstacles ABCs, Jannie explores the struggles we face as creatives, such as imposter syndrome, procrastination, and every obstacle in between. Together through humor, we examine the similarities we face as writers and artists while getting encouragement for our own creative journey. Recorded at the Billy Ireland Cartoon Library & Museum
Well developed environment can help to ground a story. Some artists go beyond grounding a story, in fact, inviting their readers into their homes, their neighborhoods, their cities, and their lives. Cartoonist Nicole Georges (Calling Dr. Laura, Fetch) will be leading a discussion with cartoonists, Caroline Cash (PeePee-PooPoo), Karl Krumpholz (30 Miles of Crazy), and MS Harkness (Desperate Pleasures), on the how they approach the challenge of packing so much square mileage into a few loose pages.
