I visited a lecture given by the illustrator Gillian Blease today at Stockport College. She has done work for some high profile companies such as The Guardian, Express and Barclay's Bank.
Gillian spoke a lot about the people and art around her that inspires her. This, I felt, was a very important part of how she got to where she is now. Also she spoke about having work rejected and not letting it get you down because often clients don't have the same visions as you do and at the end of the day you need to give the client what they want.
There has been times where she has had to decline work as there was too much other work already to do. This is one of the negatives of her basically working from home and as a freelancer. However, Gillian likes having the freedom of being her own boss and not having the distractions of working in an office.
