Will Terry Interview

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Gl2PStbysdU&t=195s

A really inspiring/eye opening video I came across whilst researching for COP, from Will Terry a Lecturer for Illustration students at UVU, giving advice on working as an Illustrator and how to succeed in the 21st century digital age. 

• You need to get to the people who are in charge of HIRING ARTISTS - directors, executives. 
• Is there room for everybody else to be chosen/picked/utilised as an illustrator? 
• Digital media is taking off  - story apps, digital e-books starting to compete with PRINT. 
• Pinterest, Deviant Art, Illustration Friday, Folio Academy, 
• School of visual storytellers, lamppost guilds - online ways to better your education.
• The talent pool is sky rocketing because of the Internet - Have so much more access to hire people? Is there room for all these talented people to get picked?

There are 2 more parts to this speech which I also found interesting and inspiring, however not that relevant.
