81: The Practice and Journey of Art with Artist and Science Illustrator Mesa Schumacher

Mike announces a new partnership with Etchr and talks about the upcoming Wild Wonder Nature Journaling Conference. Mike is then joined by Mesa Schumacher who talks about her career in medical and science illustration. Mike and Mesa discuss her educational background and her ability to find success in creating stunning representations of the natural and biological world. She not only shares her tools and experience but she also provides advice for the artist interested in starting their own business or bringing it to the next level. She also speaks to the power of the iPad providing the opportunity to create while managing a young family. Her homework may involve something about sea cucumbers :-) Etchr Lab use the code ‘mikeh’ for 10% off Etchr on Instagram Wild Wonder Nature Journaling Conference Tattoo TattoosbyZu on Instagram Larry Gonick Chavín de Huántar in Peru Lithic analysis Obsidian Guild of Natural Science Illustrators (GNSI) Gage Academy Atelier School Johns Hopkins Medical Illustration Graduate Program August University Medical Illustration University of Illinois Chicago University of Toronto Rochester Institute of Technology Fernando Baptista Graphic Editor (National Geographic) Stephen Sondheim - “Look I made a Hat” Robert Bateman Interview Micron (Sakura) Animalia ZBrush Cinema 4D Manga Studio Monoprinting Wacom intous 5 Max Brodel Sea Cucumber Honey pot ants ===== How to reach Mesa Schumacher ===== Website - mesaschumacher.com Twitter - @mesabree Instagram - @mesabree ===== How to reach Mike Hendley ===== MikeHendley.com Instagram @Mike_Hendley Twitter @MikeHendley Show notes at DrawingInspiration.fm ===== Support the Podcast ===== Support "Drawing Connections" on Substack Buy Me a Paintbrush if you like the show or my work Rate and Review on Apple Podcasts Share the podcast with friends and family Etchr Lab use the code ‘mikeh’ for 10% off Podcast theme music is “Acid Jazz” By Kevin MacLeod ( incompetech.com ) Licensed under Creative Commons: By Attribution 3.0 http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/3.0/
