The Dan Woodger Illustration Block Party Podcast is an ideal listen if you are someone looking to develop your creative skill set. Dan is a fantastic example of someone who jumps straight in at the deep end, and swims.
And he knows what it’s like to chase his creative passion.
Having been based in London for the majority of his career, Dan has built up a consistent profile and style. And all through hard work and knocking on doors both metaphorically and physically.
In the Illustration Block Party Podcast episode also elaborates on how he avoids procrastination, how he collaborates with others and the importance of understanding how to work with clients.
Dan talks about the anxiety around winning work, how he’s built personal connections and why it’s important to avoid ‘fads’. Additionally he talks about nailing down a ‘style’, and why that’s important.
If you haven’t seen Dan’s work, you really should.
By winning work first and figuring out how to make it happen after, Dan has learned the hard way about being client facing. Particularly working with Line and Pepsi.
