KIT MILLS: Sit on my chair, like this?
KELSEY ALPAIO: Yeah.
KIT MILLS: I'm on my toes.
But my back is braced against the back of the chair.
And something about this-- the gravity of this position makes it easier for me to feel like I'm really attacking the thing that I'm making.
KELSEY ALPAIO: That's Kit Mills.
He's a professional illustrator and comic artist.
And like him, I also do my best work while sitting like a gargoyle.
In this episode, Kit and I break down what it actually takes to be a professional illustrator.
KIT MILLS: It can be a delicate balance between whether they wanted you specifically because of some personal spirit that you are bringing to the piece or if they hired you because you are a pair of hands and can draw.
