CIP053: Ben the Illustrator on Isolation + Illustration

Ben O’Brien (aka Ben the Illustrator) likely needs no introduction especially if you’re a fellow illustrator - and even if you’re not - there’s a good chance you’ve seen his work, whether it was in the Guardian, GQ or for one of the other high profile clients he’s worked with.   Ben also produced a phenomenal survey of over 1000 illustrators in 2017, and this was partly why I couldn’t wait to chat to him. We discuss his surprising findings, as well as his ideal workday routine, what he would do differently if he started all over today, and some of Ben’s favourite podcasts.
