In our interview with @nikkimcclure in The Home Issue, Nikki talks to us about her process as a cut-paper artist, picture-book making, dream projects, and how her home influences her work. An excerpt:

HOW DID YOU DEVELOP YOUR SKILLS AS AN ARTIST?
Experimenting. Just trying. Making mistakes. I drew a lot as a kid and took one cartoon class when I was thirteen. I’ve been making it up since then. I have been cutting paper since 1996. That is 22 years x 40 weeks (summers off) = 880 weeks x 30 = 26,400 hours. That math makes my arm sore.

Pre-order Issue 8, coming soon! Also—coincidentally, @dullandwitlessboy, who wrote The Golden Thread: A Song for Pete Seeger, is interviewed in this issue ! ✂️✂️⚡️⚡️ #nikkimcclure #illustoria #interview #issue8 #home #thehomeissue #cutpaper #picturebooks #process #peteseeger (interview layout design by @megandaileydraws)
Our opening comic in The Home Issue is by @jamiebennettillustration, entitled “Shelter,” on refugees seeking a peaceful life and home. This is an excerpt from the lovely, heartwarming full spread. #home #refuge #illustoria #thehomeissue #issue8
