Episode 26 of the Escape From Illustration Island Podcast features an audio interview with Ron English, well-known artist and “Billboard Liberator”. Together we discuss his sometimes controversial work depicting Barack Obama, Abraham Lincoln, and Mickey Mouse; and what it means to create work for a deeper purpose. I also share links to two posts for Illustrators looking to promote their work and interact with the Illustration Community.

Here are links to some of the things mentioned on the show:

Ron English’s Website
Share Your Illustration 2
Promotion 101 for Artists
