If you haven’t been over to the Escape From Illustration Island website before, I strongly recommend you give it a visit. One of the most recent posts, site creator Thomas James’ Open Letter to Art Schools Everywhere is causing quite a stir.

The website has lots of resources for working illustrators and for illustrators trying to get started in the business, which in itself is worthy of a visit (or several). The weekly podcasts are an invaluable resource, I look forward to them each week.

Do swing by and read the letter, read the comments, and join the discussion. It is a worthwhile topic that creative professionals in general will find worthwhile. Graphic designers, illustrators and fine artists alike will find something they relate to.
