I can’t believe I’ve done 15 episodes of Creative Playdate! This episode is the last one for Season One and I will be back with Season Two in a couple of months.
This week’s episode features the incredibly talented Jessica Abel. Her list of accomplishments is far too long for these show notes but you may know her from her graphic novels, like La Perdida or Trish Trash: Rollergirl of Mars, her textbook Drawing Words & Writing Pictures (written with husband, Matt Madden) or she may even be your teacher. Somehow she’s been able to do all of these things all while raising two children.
We talk about moving her family to Angoulême, France for four years and the adjustments they’ve had to make when their children started school in the U.S. Parenting is always unexpected in different ways and it has been no different for Jessica. For those of us who find it hard to maintain our creativity while our lives swirl around us, Jessica has a book for that, Growing Gills: How to find creative focus when you’re drowning in your daily life.
I suppose I say this every episode (and I don’t know how else to say it), but thank you so very much for listening and sharing the show. I love getting to have these conversations and I’ve already got a great lineup started for Season Two.
