Nicole Rifkin talks about the importance of giving back to the community that made you and how the DIY punk scene influenced her career path. She talks about how working hard all the time was her choice and how lucky she has been to have so much support.

On the very first episode of Paid 2 Draw, Vicky and Dave have a heart-felt discussion with Nicole about kindness, competition, pro bono work, dying alone, and of course, Cheese Wednesdays — the ultimate perk of being freelance.

Don’t miss out on this inspiring conversation between three illustrators! And remember: “Don’t work for cops.”
