Where do your ideas come from? This is one of the most common questions we, and other creatives, get asked.
So here it is - a candid discussion on where we, an author and artist, think ideas come from. The good news - we don't think it's rocket science nor is it magic, but something that everyone can do.
To make the discussion as practical (and grounded in reality) as possible, we share the creative process and inspirations behind our beloved picture book series, 'Willow the Wonderer'. We walk through each of the four books in the series and explore the different and unexpected sources of inspirations for the stories and also elements of our creative ethos.
We share our personal journeys, the ups and downs of life, the many adventures we have been on and the work we have done through things like meditation to grapple with our mind and figure out life. Through the conversation you will get to see how these various influences found their way into our stories and the lessons we leave for our readers.
Discover how everyday moments, deep introspection, and even social and political dynamics have shaped our storytelling - and get practical tips on harnessing your own creativity and learn how to bring your ideas to life.
Whether you're an aspiring artist, writer, or an avid reader of our Willow the Wonderer picture books and curious about what went on behind the scene, this episode is packedwith insights and inspiration you may be after.
Hope you enjoy it :)
