I chat with a high school friend now illustrator, Adem Kaan, who breaks down the business and BTS of illustrating. He tells me all about what his job actually entails, how he gets it done, famous illustrators that I should know about and how social media can help an illustrator's career.  

Adem's industry references & inspirations: 

Shepherd Ferry

Marjane Satrapi

Christian Patchell @monster_comics

Frank Frazetta @frazettagirls

Mike Mignola @artofmm

Adem's song: It Might be Time by Tame Impala
