The new @ArrestAllMimics podcast on self-promotion for creative freelancers is out now and my guest is illustrator @dionnekitching. We build on her recent thread (xitter.gq/dionnekitching/status/…) on the topic and dive deep into promoting your work! Listen at soundcloud.com/arrestallmimi…

Had such lovely responses to this post! I've had such an on/off relationship with social media but this has definitely restored my faith in it ☺️ Thanks a bunch to everyone who has commented and RT'd x
Hi Twitter 😃 I've just moved to Banbury (near Oxford) and I'm looking to connect with fellow illustrators and other creative people here! Comment with any recommendations of local people or events or anything else useful... Oh and RTs much appreciated x #illustration #banbury

Replying to @CatFinnie @yoillo
Also, I took up running a couple of years ago as a way to stay healthy and get out fairly regularly. Park Run on Saturdays is a great way to meet people through volunteering, and connect with the running community.

Monthly meet ups with other illustrators is something I find really helpful - also great for sharing tips and gripes about the industry. See @yoillo for a London one.

Illustrators! Would value your opinion.... What did you wish you knew, before you embarked on an illustration career? (I’m talking to some students later this month, and I want to be practical, helpful and encouraging) BIG THANKS IN ADVANCE
