Reading this article from It's Nice That, and I think the content of the article isn't that forthright but I really enjoyed a response left by Rob Lowe (supermundane) regarding illustration and the topics addressed. In particular this bit:
"I agree that illustration needs to become better but that means people engaging with ideas over just style. For an illustrator to have a cohesive and critical outlook on life normally takes time, a lot longer than the four years given here from made-it-to-past-it.
If anything, many illustrators are given the limelight too early and maybe it would be better for them to be developing at a more natural rate and then promoted when their work actually means something and they have developed an opinion as well as a style."
Well done, Rob. This is important to me and has made me think.
