Episode 08 - Lynn Scurfield

Lynn Scurfield is an illustrator. Their clients include The New York Times, The Atlantic, The Walrus, Google, Chronicle Books, Image Comics, and Puffin UK. We talk about the bliss of living in the suburbs over the city, the cost of art schools in Canada vs America, teaching at the art school you were once a student at, the evolving process of mixing traditional and digital media, the issues we have we procreate, transitioning from editorial to kids lit books, community in Toronto vs. New York, working through illustration projects while going through cancer treatments, and so much more.

Lynn has two kid's books coming out. Flight: Notes from birdgirl, is available for pre-order and available in bookstores on June 15th, 2023, and Two New Years, published by Chronicle Books, available for pre-order and available in bookstores on August 8th, 2023.

A production note, Lynn’s mic cuts in and out a little bit throughout. Just hang in there because Lynn is wonderful and sweet, and the whole interview outshines the occasional annoying mic issues.
