Illustrator and Educator, Kelly Murphy, talks to Giuseppe Castellano about their shared experiences at the Rhode Island School of Design; Kelly’s first phone call with an editor; what it’s like teaching at RISD; why she doesn’t have an agent; and how author/illustrators can sneak around a publisher’s “no unsolicited manuscript” policy.
Here are a few of the artists they mentioned: John Tenniel, Arthur Rackham, J.C. Leyendecker, Lizbeth Zwerger, and Kate Greenaway
