#005 - Ever considered the life of an Instagram artist? Join Connor as he interviews Anna "LuxuryChoccie" Williams Harrison (pet portrait artist), about all things creative.

You'll learn about what it's like being known for wonky pet portraits, as well as how Anna juggles a much larger side project on the side (an art book centered upon Japanese street fashion). We talk about beating burnout, keeping practice fresh, bouncing between projects, and finding entertainment in your art. Anna tells of her brief time in Switzerland, how online challenges like Mermay and Inktober have helped shape her, and how she found her audience in the first place. She shares her thoughts about capturing people's attention with eye-catching shots, and we discuss the careful line of pandering to your audience's expectations or trends. You'll learn how to find a niche and ideas which resonate and build the right audience for your long-term goals and how to maintain momentum with batching and navigate a self-imposed posting schedule as crazy as hers (1-2 times a day!). Be sure to stick around, because we'll close by asking Anna what one piece of advice she would ask herself if she were to start all over again. This will be a creative break like no other!
