In this episode, I get to speak with Eleanor Bick. She’s a German freelance author and illustrator. And I got to follow some of her amazing illustrations on Twitter. She’s been posting some really fantastic illustrations of Pokemon-related comics. I was super fascinated with the level of detail and the level of clarity in these illustrations. And to top it all off she did a little short tv trailer on the bee’s knees. So I had to get in touch with her and bring her on the podcast, talk about beekeeping, illustrations, and how she got to be so good at her craft.
