THE (MAGAZINE) DOCTOR IS IN — Megan Schertler wants to help you make magazines. Yes, you … and you … and you too. But she also wants to ensure that once you make a magazine, you make another one. And then one after that. She wants to make sure that you know it's not easy to create a magazine or to run one or to publish a second one or to sustain a magazine or media brand or to run a business. Megan is big on print. She's one of those extremely rare people who's held down numerous magazine jobs while never working on the digital side of things. Yes, really. People like her exist. So she knows more than many her age that print is more engaging, produces more loyalty, and creates a deeper and more meaningful connection with the message on the page than any other medium. And so with her partners, Megan now helms In Real Life Media to help would-be magazine makers sure, but also some of the world's largest brands navigate the realities of the magazine world. Because while we all love print here, it's hard, it's expensive, and it is, quite frankly, a pain in the ass. But it also results in something glorious, and Megan travels the world speaking at conferences and to people like me to spread the word.. — This episode is made possible by our friends at Freeport Press.

Verdien je als kinderboekenillustrator wel genoeg om van te leven? Of hoort armoede er gewoon bij? In deze zomerherhaling van een van de best beluisterde afleveringen praat ik met Mark Janssen, die zo rond de 500 kinderboeken illustreerde. Ik stel hem de vraag die de meeste illustratoren niet durven stellen: hoeveel verdien je nou echt per jaar? Zijn antwoord verraste mij in positieve zin. We praten ook over de jaren waarin hij een illustratiefabriekje was geworden, alleen nog bezig voor de knaken, en hoe hij daaruit klom naar werk waar hij weer blij van wordt. Over geld, over rust, en over durven kiezen wat je wél en niet aanneemt.

THE PRIME OF MR. NEVILLE BRODY — “Once you have broken down the rules, literally anything is possible.'” In the business of magazine design, few names resonate as profoundly as Neville Brody. And, to this day, he lives by those words.  Renowned for his groundbreaking work and commitment to pushing design boundaries at magazines like The Face, Arena, Per Lui, and others, Brody is a true auteur in the world of design. We talked to him at the launch of his spectacular new monograph, The Graphic Language of Neville Brody 3. Nurtured on 1970s British punk music, which rejected anything that appeared self-indulgent or overwrought, Brody found the perfect launch pad at The Face, the London-based music, fashion, and culture monthly, created by editor Nick Logan in 1980. The Face inspired an array of fellow magazine rule-breakers, including the late Tibor Kalman, David Carson, and Fabien Baron, who calls Brody's work “powerful, aggressive, and simple.” Since then, Brody's journey in graphic design has been marked by a relentless, almost unforgiving pursuit of innovation. His magazine design challenged conventional norms and redefined visual storytelling. Brody's design approach is characterized by a rejection of conventional grid systems and editorial hierarchies, and a willingness to break free from established design rules. And he thinks magazines today are missing a giant opportunity: “That's the beauty of print, that you can't achieve in the same way digitally. Digital is so commoditized. We're not expressing content anymore. We're just delivering it. Neville Brody's legacy in magazine design lies in his fearless approach to challenging the status quo and his ability to capture the zeitgeist of his time. By pushing the boundaries of traditional graphic design, he not only influenced the look and feel of magazines but also inspired a generation of designers to embrace innovation, experimentation, and a spirit of creative rebellion. Brody's work continues to be celebrated for its enduring impact on the evolution of graphic design and its role in shaping the visual language of contemporary media.

RP 117 / Wie du eine Illustrationsagentur findest, die dein Portfolio für Verlage aufpoliert, deine Honorare verhandelt und dich mit vollen Kräften auf deinem Weg als Illustrator*in unterstützt. Mit Insider-Tipps von Maria Bogade, Agentin und Illustratorin.

Welcome to Season 6, Episode 27! Our guest this episode is Miles Toriko Burks. He's a California-based cartoonist, writer, and illustrator whose work focuses on heartfelt stories about identity, friendship, queer joy, and emotional vulnerability. His debut print graphic novel Encore! was released June 2, 2026 through HarperAlley. It's the print adaptation of his very popular Webtoon series of the same name.  Encore! is a queer YA rom-com about two former best friends reconnecting during a shared high school theater class, and after they're partnered up, they need to confront the unresolved feelings and emotional distance between them. The story has already drawn comparisons to works like Heartstopper for its warmth, sincerity, and focus on emotional connection. A lifelong artist, Burks first gained a loyal viewership online through fan comics and digital illustration before transitioning into original storytelling on Webtoon. This is where his story Encore! developed a devoted following. His work blends expressive artwork with deeply relatable coming-of-age themes, often centering characters from underrepresented backgrounds and exploring how relationships evolve over time. We love how Miles is focused on creating stories featuring characters who reflect identities and experiences that he rarely saw growing up. He creates diverse stories without focusing on all the representation he includes.  In our conversation we talk about the inspiration for Encore!, how he developed his artistic style, the conversations he hopes he inspires with his work, the impact of social media and Webtoon on feedback, the importance of queer joy, and so much more. To learn more about Miles Toriko Burks, you can visit his website at milestburks.com, follow him on instagram @milestburks, purchase your own copy of Encore!, or see his work on Webtoon.

Laatst kreeg ik een vraag in mijn coaching die ik nog niet eerder had gehad. Niet over prijzen, niet over je website, niet over hoe je een aanbod maakt, maar: "Hoe lees jij toch zoveel?"In podcast aflevering 179 neem ik je mee in hoe ik dat doe. Waarom ik een boek zie als de goedkoopste mentor die je kunt hebben. Hoe ik twintig boeken tegelijk lees, en welke kleine dingen me helpen om er echt tijd voor te maken, ook op de drukke dagen.Geen lijstje met regels, wel een kijkje in hoe ik het zelf aanpak. Met een mooie tip onderweg die je net zo goed op tekenen kunt toepassen.Luister je mee? En ik ben superbenieuwd naar wat jij nu leest, of wat jouw boekentips zijn! Ik hoor het graag in een reactie of DM op https://www.instagram.com/illustratie_podcast/

BAD BUNNY — Playboy is many things to quite a few people. We don't have to go into its history, but the thing you need to know is this: it's back. Yes, there will be photos of women in various stages of undress, and yes, there will be sharp writing from sharp minds. But mostly, the people behind it are going to try and build up the media brand, and that's important, because Playboy was arguably the first magazine that used its content at the center of a much larger and much more diverse brand ecosystem. The new editor-in-chief also comes with another title, Chief Brand Officer, which gives you an indication that these people aren't messing around. Philip Picardi has a long history in magazines and has also worked in brand. He's also gay, which honestly, I have some trouble saying here because it doesn't matter that he is. But when I tell my friends that the new editor-in-chief of Playboy, an heir to Hugh Hefner of all people, is gay, well, that raises an eyebrow. Because Playboy is a lot of things, but it's also a very male, very heterosexual brand. But what if I told you that some of the best writing coming out of Playboy now was being written by a cadre of hyper-talented young women, that Philip's boss used to work at National Geographic and Disney, or that Philip received his master's degree from the Harvard Divinity School? Should I keep going? Because I could. Just listen to our discussion. We're going to dispel some misconceptions and then some. — This episode is made possible by our friends at Freeport Press.

Ina van Zyl is kunstschilder, tekenaar en illustrator. Tijdens haar studie tekende ze voor de Zuid-Afrikaanse strip ‘Bitterkomix', nu schildert ze vooral met olieverf. Hiervoor nam ze meerdere prijzen in ontvangst, waaronder de Jeanne Oosting prijs en de Thérèse Schwartze Prijs voor de portretkunst. Van Zyl werkt met thema's als claustrofobie, schaamte, seksualiteit en menselijk contact of het gebrek daaraan, zoals in haar tentoonstelling ‘Schaamstukken'. In haar nieuwe tentoonstelling ‘Where are you from' komt dertig jaar werk samen en laat ze zien hoe ze haar beeldtaal ontwikkelde waarin intimiteit, spanning en precisie centraal staan.  Ellen Deckwitz gaat met Ina van Zyl in gesprek.

THE INDUSTRY'S LITTLE SISTER — In early April, what's left of the magazine industry gathered at Terminal 5 to see who would win this year's National Magazine Awards—the ASMEs. Throughout the evening, the usual suspects stepped up to accept their Alexander Calder brass elephants—the ‘Ellies'—on behalf of their teams at The Atlantic, New York, and The New York Times Magazine.  Then came the award for General Excellence, Service and Lifestyle—a category that covers every food, fashion, and fitness magazine in the business. And the Ellie went to… content juggernaut Highsnobiety—a sneaker blog-turned-cool kid media amalgam that encompasses a twice-annual $20-per-issue print magazine, plus a flood of social media, a website that is also an e-commerce platform, and a creative agency that does 360-degree marketing and storytelling for brands. Before the crowd could start scratching their graying heads, a Billie Eilish lookalike in a gray Thom Brown skirt-and-pant suit took to the dais. There were plenty of people in that room who had never given Highsnobiety much, if any, thought.  But in that moment, this woman, Willa Bennett, Highsnobiety's 30-year-old editor-in-chief, had officially become a force to be reckoned with. Not only that, but Highsnobiety's business model, which bends rules that had long been sacrosanct in magazine journalism, suddenly appeared to have won the seal of approval from the oldest of the old guard.   The post at Highsnobiety was a major leap for Bennett. Just two years ago, she was the social media manager at GQ. Our friends who worked with her there tell us they thought of her as “the industry's little sister”—hungry, passionate, and looking to translate the magic of magazines to a new generation. They said that even though she's disrupting the magazine as we once knew it, at heart Bennett is a “a magazine junkie who really venerates  the old ways.”  And now the surprise win has put her in the spotlight of the establishment media, with The New York Times Styles running a portrait of Bennett in her signature suit-and-tie look on its cover. The win inspired a segment on the Slate Culture Gabfest in which the hosts pondered, “What Is a Magazine Now?” Over in Spreadlandia, we thought, Why not turn that question directly to Willa Bennett herself? In the end, this conversation left us feeling more optimistic than usual about the future of media. It also made us feel old as shit. We hope you enjoy it as much as we did. — This episode is a special collboration with our friends at The Spread and is made possible by our friends at Commercial Type, and Freeport Press.

Unsere heutigen Gäste stehen für eine besondere Form von Zusammenarbeit. Es geht um Familie. Es geht um Kreativität. Und es geht um die Frage, wie Räume entstehen, in denen Ideen wirklich wachsen können. Unser erster Gast ist Designer, Künstler, Musiker und Unternehmer. Er hat an der Fachhochschule Hamburg in der Armgartstraße Gestaltung studiert, einem Ort, der viele prägt. Über viele Jahre hat er als Illustrator gearbeitet, bevor er 1996 zum SPIEGEL wechselte. Dort hat er fast zwei Jahrzehnte die visuelle Sprache eines der prägendsten Magazine Deutschlands mitgestaltet. Ab 2000 als Titelchef. Woche für Woche ging es um die gleiche Frage: Was ist die eine Idee, die wirklich trägt. 2014 hat er in der Hamburger HafenCity einen neuen Raum geschaffen. Die HONGKONG STUDIOS. Ein 400 Quadratmeter großes Loft. Galerie, Designstudio, Musikraum, Yogastudio. Ein Ort, an dem kreative Arbeit nicht nur stattfindet, sondern zusammenkommt. Unsere zweite Gästin ist Art Direktorin, Designerin und Yogalehrerin. Sie hat an der Muthesius Kunsthochschule Kiel Kommunikationsdesign studiert, viele Jahre freiberuflich gearbeitet und 2016 das HONGKONG STUDIOS YOGA gegründet. Ein sehr persönlicher Raum für Bewegung, Ruhe und Fokus, eingebettet in genau dieses kreative Umfeld. Seit 2023 führen Vater und Tochter das Unternehmen gemeinsam. Sie verbindet Gestaltung mit Körperarbeit. Kreativität mit Konzentration. Ideen mit Umsetzung im Alltag. Gemeinsam haben sie einen Ort geschaffen, der von vielen Unternehmen genutzt wird, um Abstand vom eigenen System zu gewinnen und neue Perspektiven zu entwickeln. Ein Raum, der bewusst anders ist. Seit über acht Jahren beschäftigen wir uns in diesem Podcast mit der Frage, wie Arbeit den Menschen stärkt, statt ihn zu schwächen. Wir haben in mehr als 500 Episoden mit fast 700 Persönlichkeiten darüber gesprochen, was sich für sie verändert hat und was sich noch verändern muss. Was braucht es wirklich, damit kreative Ideen entstehen können? Welche Rolle spielen Räume für Zusammenarbeit, Fokus und Inspiration? Und was können Organisationen und deren Menschen an und von einem Ort lernen, der Design, Kunst, Musik, Yoga und Meditation bewusst zusammenbringt? Fest steht: Für die Lösung unserer aktuellen Herausforderungen brauchen wir neue Impulse. Daher suchen wir weiter nach Methoden, Vorbildern, Erfahrungen, Tools und Ideen, die uns dem Kern von New Work näherbringen. Darüber hinaus beschäftigt uns von Anfang an die Frage, ob wirklich alle Menschen das finden und leben können, was sie im Innersten wirklich, wirklich wollen. Ihr seid bei On the Way to New Work – heute mit Stefan Kiefer und Amelie Agius.

Welcome to Season 6, Episode 25! Our guests today are Livia Blackburne and Julia Kuo, the author and illustrator of Bing's Cherries… A modern American tall tale woven by a girl and her father about Ah Bing, the Chinese immigrant behind the Pacific Northwest's most delicious cherries. The book was released on March 10, 2026. Julia Kuo is the author and illustrator of several books including Home Is a Wish, Let's Do Everything and Nothing, and Luminous: Living Things That Light Up the Night. She is also the illustrator of several notable picture books including When Love Is More Than Words by Jocelyn Chung, I Am an American: The Wong Kim Ark Story by Martha Brockenbrough and Grace Lin, and one of our favorites, I Dream of Popo by Livia Blackburne. Additionally, Julia has created editorial illustrations for publications such as The New York Times, The Wall Street Journal, and The Economist.  New York Times bestselling author Livia Blackburne wrote her first novel while researching the neuroscience of reading at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology.  Since then, she's switched to full-time writing, which also involves getting into people's heads but without the help of a three tesla MRI scanner.  Her YA books include Rosemarked (A YALSA Teens Top Ten Nominee), Disney's Feather and Flame, and Clementine and Danny Save the World (And Each Other) [A Junior Library Guild selection], as well as the picture books Dreams to Ashes (An Orbis Pictus Honor Book) and I Dream of Popo, which received three starred reviews and was on numerous Best of Year lists. We love how they intentionally mixed in some elements of Chinese mythology with actual history and the American tall tales genre. In our conversation, we talk about the inspiration for the story, what it's like working with familiar collaborators, their individual journeys, and so much more.  To learn more about Julia, you can visit juliakuo.com or follower her on instagram @juliaskuo.

207 / Was bewegt Illustrator*innen im Sommer 2026? Live-Interviews von der Bunte Hunte über Berufsalltag, KI, die Auftragslage und die größten Lernmomente der Branche

What's your process? We all come up with ways of working that are better for us but one of the traditional issues for webcomics was always "digital Vs analogue". That's ALWAYS been more complex than it seems because no matter how analogue your working method is, it will HAVE to be digital at some point if it's a webcomic because the comic has to get online somehow. So there are zero fully analogue webcomics, all are digital to varying degrees. But it's even more complex when we're talking about lettering. There are a lot of different ways to letter, you can draw a page with pens and pencils, write in all the the dialogue as you go (or type it out and print it etc.), and then digitise the comic page. Not many people do that now though. The conventional way is to add the text digitally: use some program like GIMP, Illustrator, InDesign, ToonBoom studio or whatever to give you a nice font and format things neatly into a speech bubble. Most people who work with pen and paper at least prefer to go digital for lettering because of how clean it looks and how customisable it is, as do those who work fully digitally. Though there are some of us who hand letter, writing out all the words, even though we work digitally, sort of going backwards in a way. There are benefits to digital hand lettering when you can do it well: it looks more engaging to the reader (something very hard to do with font choices), it's FAR more customisable for the stye you want and far easier to fix errors and make changes because you can select, move, and replace individual letters on a finished page without going back to your working files. It also means that the lettering can be done all in the same app you used to draw the page so your process is much more streamlined. There's no auto spell check feature though so you have to be careful, as well as very neat and regular in your writing style. That example just illustrates that the clear distinction between "digital and analogue" these days is largely false and it's more of a spectrum, like a lot of things. Digital tools have gotten so much better now that an artist's work looks the same whatever tools they use. And the convenience and power of at least colouring digitally on an analogue created page you've digitised to display online is too great not to pass up. For me it always came down to the fact that my work was ultimately going to be mainly displayed online so I wanted to retain the original quality as much as possible, which meant gradually transitioning to full digital, since a massive amount of the work I was doing on my pages was simply correcting for the issues caused by digitising pages.

Don't forget to SUBSCRIBE to our YouTube channel: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lxaHgfTbzvIAuthor Bahram Rahman grew up in Afghanistan during years of civil war and the restrictive Taliban regime of 1996-2001. He wrote "The Library Bus" to tell new generations about the struggles of women who, like his own sister, were forbidden to learn.It is still dark in Kabul, Afghanistan when the library bus rumbles out of the city. There are no bus seats—instead there are chairs and tables and shelves of books. And there are no passengers—instead there is Pari, who is nervously starting her first day as Mama's library helper. Pari stands tall to hand out notebooks and pencils at the villages and the refugee camp, but she feels intimidated. The girls they visit are learning to write English from Mama. Pari can't even read or write in Farsi yet. But next year she will go to school and learn all there is to know. And she is so lucky. Not long ago, Mama tells her, girls were not allowed to read at all.Award-winning illustrator Gabrielle Grimard's pensive and captivating art transports the reader to Afghanistan in the time after the Taliban's first regime. Her rich landscapes and compelling characters celebrate literacy, ingenuity, and the strength of women and girls demanding a future for themselves.

CHECK, PLEASE — Thanks for tuning in. Just a note before we get going: This is the 50th episode of The Full Bleed, and I, along with the team here at Magazeum, truly appreciate the time you spend with us. Waiting is what I consider a perfect magazine. Not because of its design or the writing, though both are stellar. But mostly because it functions as a closed loop. How? The subject and the audience are one and the same. Waiting, you see, is a magazine about creatives in New York's service industry. And it is a magazine for creatives in New York's service industry. That's a neat trick and also makes me wonder why no one had done this before founder, editor-in-chief, and complete magazine neophyte Adele Blanton hit upon the idea. Adele has done the math: 10 percent of the estimated 700,000 people working in the food and beverage industry in New York are artists of some kind. Artists, actors, writers, dancers. You name it. And that number is a healthy baseline for any publication. Waiting has published three well-received issues and now she and the team behind it has to figure out how to maintain and grow the media. That's one of the many things we talk about on the show. Did we tell you this is our 50th episode? Because it's our 50th episode. — This episode is made possible by our friends at Freeport Press.

I am a big believer in the power of "side quests" . Over the years, my own side projects have transformed into vital parts of my business and completely changed my career trajectory . In this episode, I am joined by Mélanie Johnsson, a creative director, illustrator, and designer who is equally obsessed with the magic of the side quest. We dive into how these personal projects have brought her new clients, created a vibrant community, and allowed her to push her creative boundaries without the constraints of client briefs. Whether you are considering launching a magazine, a community challenge, or an exhibition, Mélanie's proactive attitude will empower you to stop waiting for opportunities and start creating them yourself . Thanks to Ivy  Malik for sponsoring this episode.  If you wanna learn how to co-create a sale so it doesn't feel like selling head to lizmosley.net/ivy and watch the free training video.  Key Takeaways Proactive Career Growth: Side quests allow you to create the exact type of work you want to be hired for, effectively controlling your own professional narrative and journey. Creative Freedom and Values: Personal projects provide a space to align purely with your own vision and values, which is essential for preventing creative stagnation. Building Community and Authority: Projects like the "Pattern Challenge" or the "Mimi" platform establish you as an expert and build lasting associations in the minds of potential clients. The "Art Director" Mindset: Transitioning to broader titles like Art Director or Creative Director allows you to sell your "brain" and problem-solving skills rather than just a specific technical output. Overcoming Loneliness: Creative communities and in-person meetups serve as a vital antidote to the isolation of freelance life, offering validation and shared support. Episode Highlights 01:50: Mélanie's background growing up in a creative family and her initial "rebellion" against design . 13:10: The creation of Spellbound magazine and the joy of self-publishing. 14:15: How the "Pattern Challenge" transitioned from an Instagram prompt to a charitable physical product. 20:45: Proving creativity: How a client relationship led to 3D rendering and product design. 26:15: The logistical challenges and dreams of building a physical creative studio. 36:10: Rebranding and the power of solving visual problems through a "Creative Director" lens.

205 / Luka fragt: »Wie verkaufe ich meine Kunst?« Die Antwort ist unbequem – aber befreiend. Warum Leidenschaft allein nicht reicht und wie du als Illustrator*in und Designer*in beide Welten verbindest: deine kreative Seele und dein Business.

Thomas K. Slee grew up reading his mum and dad's collection of pulp science fiction, thrillers, and detective stories in the western suburbs of Melbourne, Australia. The first thing he can remember writing was a Dinotopia spin-off, before progressing to Warhammer 40K stories, then essays, then engineering reports. In 2020, the pandemic hit and he started a writing group with his parents, his girlfriend's dad, his brother, and his cousin as a way of keeping in touch while locked inside. Five years later, the family writing group is still going strong (they're writing a '40s noir radio play together). Thomas has had work published in Aurealis magazine and The West Australian newspaper. He is an active member of the Melbourne-based speculative fiction community Meridian Australis and has successfully self-published his debut technothriller: Project Gateway. His story “Form 14B: Application for Certification of Consciousness Transfer (Post Mortem)” started life as a thumbnail idea from a brainstorming session for Chris McKitterick's 2023 “Science into Fiction” Writing Workshop: how much paperwork would be required to get your mind transferred into a new body? April Solomon was born in 1983 and raised in Laguna Beach, California. Since she was a small child, April has had a talent for drawing and painting. She would draw anything and everything that came into her imagination. Of all things, she drew dragons the most! Thankfully, her loving and encouraging family inspired her to embrace her love for the arts. She grew up around art. Her father's art studio was filled with all the delights a child could indulge. His bookshelves held stacks of art books containing illustrations from the old masters, the golden age illustrators, and even some fantasy art from the TSRs Dungeons and Dragons. Inspiration came in many forms. Fortunately it was everywhere! and so her career as a young artist began. Today April is an illustrator and fine artist who has earned her bachelor's degree in illustration at the Laguna College of Art and Design. April's passion for learning the old masterful techniques of traditional drawing and painting are precisely what inspires her work. Among her love for the fine arts is her unique appreciation for whimsical fantasy, which adorns every image of her portfolio. April's meticulous creature designs aim for what is known as “fantastic realism.” A clever, concise understanding of anatomy, plants, and mysterious textures weave their way into her illustrations, leaving the viewer guessing at origins, influences, and ancestry. April's work allows the viewer to dive imaginatively deeper, and reconsider whether dragons might be real or whether werewolves exist to stalk the streets at night. When not illustrating, April attends garage sales to unearth buried treasures, runs and lifts weights, or braves as many haunted attractions as possible during the month of October. Find out more about April here,... AprilSolomonArt.com

Those of you might have caught the fun, raucous livestream dispatched DIMMING ROOM, but here it has been transfigured and hauntomantically ressurrected into a maximalist broadckast featuring analog travel footage and videomancy from Revelator Rosz, as well as a brand new "lore score" of improvised audiomancy ritual ribbon musick performed in the attic altar space to sinew the newfangled psychick entry into the PRAGMAGICK cast pantheon that perfectly resembles the transpositional utility of morphing mediums to exalt new entries. WE THE HALLOWED is the antidote to this apocalyptic slop eon of the multi-media mediums with #somatickmagick #independentpublishing and more, and no matter the financial squalor or downtrodden hardships of the longtime sacred antenna, it raises again like better wraith besting better angels!

THE INTERNET WILL NOT BE TELEVISED — The tech industry is easy to dislike, admire, ridicule, resent, need, and all of the above. Look, this podcast doesn't exist without tech. But there is also no "enshittification" without tech. Coined by writer Cory Doctorow that word has entered the general lexicon with a speed and ubiquity that might make someone like, I don't know, Shakespeare envious. If he knew what was going on. Which he doesn't. All of this to introduce InFormation, a magazine about tech, but more importantly, a magazine about “what tech is doing to us.” The people behind it work in the industry and so understand it, which makes them dislike it even more. Twenty-five years ago, InFormation was like the Spy magazine of the dot com boom, a bit of a kick in the pants to an industry and a group of people who saw themselves in utopian if not messianic terms. And while they might still see themselves that way (spoiler alert: they most certainly do), a lot of people in the world do not, and so InFormation is back, it has reformed, and is being published again, with the same attitude, that is it continues to kick ass but with more feeling, because Silicon Valley is no longer a place but a mindset, techbros are a thing and a wealthy thing at that, and, well, there's a general feeling that the world has been thoroughly colonized and completely enshittified. — This episode is made possible by our friends at Freeport Press.

Mike Rosado interviews Raleigh-based illustrator and designer Ian Wenstrand about his highly detailed, vibrant illustrations blending cityscapes, technology, and imaginative world-building. Wenstrand describes drawing constantly as a kid, studying studio art at University of the Cumberlands (recruited to swim), and moving from production artist retouching roles into graphic design before illustration work organically became steady freelance. He self-published a children's book inspired by artists like Graeme Base and cross-section illustrators, then gained momentum through public art opportunities including a 2018–2019 Citrix window mural and later a major Film NC tourism brochure project featuring five regional illustrations packed with 50+ movie Easter eggs. He outlines his process (two sketch phases in Procreate, then Photoshop for color), time demands, work-life balance with two kids, and the importance of tight contracts to prevent scope creep. Wenstrand shares influences (IC4 Design, Moebius, sci-fi film aesthetics), discusses collaborative "Easter egg" client input, and explains why he avoids using AI, adding an AI clause to contracts and valuing the human creative process.

Artist, Mystic and all-around interpreter of worlds, Nikoo Bafti joins me to discuss the launch of The Transmutation Oracle Deck that she hand-crafted for the Philosophical Research Society. They have not made a tarot deck in over 100 years until they reached out to her. Wowsers. We get into the journey and her radical shift as an artist and what all people experience in form or another, as we navigate and try to interpret the world and magic around us. How does that unfold and what form does it take for you? We have a wonderful discussion about all things mystical and then get a sneak peek at The Transmutation Oracle she created in collaboration with writer Laura Hayes. More on the deck: The Transmutation Oracle Deck is here to serve as a guide, a navigational tool that helps you to engage with the world under the assumption that reality is holographic and far more malleable than we have been taught. Humans have far more agency than most of us believe, and this deck provides fun ways to interact with and influence reality, whilst also encouraging a deeper understanding of the interconnectedness of all things. The universe speaks in symbols and you can learn to read and respond to it. Sunday May 3rd see Nikoo's presentation at PRS by clicking here! Find the deck here! Nikoo's website here! Nikoo's Instagram here! Nikoo Bafti is a British-Iranian Visual Artist and Illustrator. After graduating with a BA (Hons) in Illustration & FdA in Visual Communication from the Arts University of Bournemouth, Nikoo began her career as an Animation Development Intern at Disney Channels in London and has since established her own freelance practice as an Illustrator and Visual Artist exhibiting internationally. Her clients include The Philosophical Research Society, Psychic Garden, Disney Channel & Truly Hard Seltzer. Nikoo's work takes a look behind a thinning veil to a realm of the mystical and anomalous through her intensely saturated and arresting colour palettes. Her use of fine detail and delicate, emblematic markings are reminiscent of the traditional Persian Miniature painting style of her heritage.
