Episode 09 - Nicole Rifkin

Nicole Rifkin is an illustrator. Their clients include the Atlantic, Audible, The New Yorker, New York Times, Simon & Schuster, and many bands, including Remember Sports, Water from your eyes, Pile, Adult Mom, F*cked up, and the New Pornographers. I had a thoughtful and hilarious conversation with Nicole on the podcast. We talk about growing up with a punk dad and how weird that was, stories about skipping class to go to punk/hardcore shows, being confronted with a type 2 diabetes diagnosis, stories about life in undergrad and grad school, our mentor Marshall Arisman, competitions and the Society of Illustrators, the value and under value of editorial work, transitioning from Photoshop to Adobe Fresco, and watching cooking shows and never really cooking anything. 

 

A production note, there is a lot of swearing in this podcast that I have edited out but for the most part the content is fine to listen to around teens but maybe not kids.
