Joey Yu Talk

Ive admired Joey Yu's work for a while and she's doing so well despite only graduating a couple of years ago. Her talk was fascinating and its clear she has such a wide knowledge of culture and the world around her and thats what drives her practice.

TAKEAWAY POINTS:

- be curious, indulge yourself in culture, watch films, read books

- find inspiration outside of illustration. stop using instagram and pinterest as inspiration

- take recordings of your surroundings. Joey carries a small video camera with her on her travels to record the sights and bustle of places

- travel as much as you can

- collaboration is really good and beneficial for your work and your wellbeing

- everything you do can lead to another opportunity

- make work that reflects you and your interests

- know your worth, don't sell yourself short or let clients walk all over you
