My pace, pt. 2
Ofcourse after a post about finding my own pace as a freelancer, I stop blogging for a while haha! That’s how those things go. Dropping by for a quick note that I do still intend to blog. But maybe (well I’m pretty sure actually) the…
Finding your pace
As a freelance illustrator at the start of this creative career there are a lot of things I struggle with. And there are a lot of things I’m happy with, and learning, figuring out and getting better at. Which keeps up the confidence I can…
