Welcome folks to another fine episode of the Pencil Pushers Podcast. I'm your humble host, Mike Rosado and we have got another gem today with creative mastermind, Lauren Hom.

Lauren is a highly prolific illustrator, lettering artist, foodie, and more with a massive social media following that's hit meteoric heights through her persistence to pave new paths of creative expression beyond her lettering style, and in turn, invited others to do the same.What I love about her story is that she works from her gut - never afraid to listen to her intuitive muse, even at the cost of potential "failure".

She pulls from the paths of the likes of a Picasso, one who's never satisfied with status quo, and not relying on style to define her as an artist in movement - and she works from a state of passion and curiosity that is refreshing in an era where it can be tough to pull away from what people know of your work. I found Lauren to be an absolute delight and a true dynamo who's in her element and full of pearls of wisdom.

highly recommend you slide on over to her instagram @homsweethom to be a part of her community of creatives while you sit back, relax and enjoy our chat with Lauren.

The Pencil Pushers Podcast is a celebration of the hand-drawn arts. I'll be interviewing friends and idols in illustration, animation, comic-art, and more.
