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 :-)
