Episode 54: And Then They Just Blocked Me ft. The Good Type Co

Guys, we have a thing for Australians.

We’ll finally admit it. Not that it’s a surprise or anything.

After having several friends from down undah join us to chat, scream (we scream because it’s not very Australian to scream, as we’ve learned), laugh and rant, we’ve fully accepted the fact that deep down, we believe we might’ve been born on the wrong continent.

Why are we rambling about this, you ask? Naturally, because we had another incredible, inspirational and might we say *talented* Australian creative join us today: none other than Becki from The Good Type Co! Like honestly… go take one glance at her feed, and you’ll see exactly why we wanted her to join the podcast ✏️✨

Not only is Becki an inspiration in the work she creates, but she illustrates our favorite thing: food.

Food, people. 🍳🥘

So, Becki joined us to chat about her life as an illustrator while running a shop during extreme lockdown, fighting creative blocks, and how she got into illustration. Then, she told us about the time that a client asked, “what’s your hourly rate?” in a room full of people, while all eyes were on her. (Scary stuff) 👀

And then we discuss the fact that we are incapable of drawing apples, and Elle reveals that she has a thing for drawing heads with no faces???

It’s odd. But what about this podcast isn’t (sometimes)?
