Recently, we’ve been talking about the joys – OK less so the joys – but at least the usefulness of email when it comes to getting anything from press, more work, better clients – all the things. But… you may be a bit stuck on what to email. You might not have any specific clients […]
Let me tell you a story… One year ago today I was at a place very close to rock bottom. l’m not a full-time anything: my wall consists of multiple hats I don and I enjoy the variety. But last year a few of these hats were gone. To clarify, when I took myself out […]
If you’ve been listening to this podcast a while, you might have heard a bit about my story – how I left my day job as a professional pixel pusher – I mean, web designer – to pursue my childhood dreams of becoming an illustrator and above all – be able to work from HOME. […]

In this episode of The Creative Introvert podcast I interview Youngman Brown of Your Creative Push. I’ll admit it. For the last couple of weeks I’ve been going through a real slump in motivation. May be it’s the change of season – there’s something about being by the sea – even in England – that when the sun comes […]
