Thoughts on Illustration

Pre-order Drawing is Important — http://tomfroese.com/book In this episode, I take on the "myth of artistic looseness." We often envy the "spontaneous" energy of artists like Quentin Blake, but the truth is that looking effortless requires a tone of effort. I dive into why your final illustrations feel "stiff" compared to your sketches and how to bridge that gap through what I call supervised spontaneity and confidence from competence. IN THIS EPISODE • Three observations about artistic looseness • How to build "chaos" into a repeatable process. • The Take-Two-ness of Glenn Gould: Why the best work happens in the studio, not live. • Why even pros like Sir Quentin Blake struggle with achieving looseness. • The Exercise: A three-stage drawing challenge to help you unlock creative freedom in your drawings.

In this episode, I’m sharing a conversation where I was the guest on Design Icons, produced by Noun Project.

Become a paid supporter on Patreon— ⁠https://patreon.com/tomfroese⁠ What if social media isn’t actually social anymore—and what if that changes how creatives should use it? In this monologue episode, I reflect on a growing realization I’ve been wrestling with for years: social media has quietly shifted from a space for sharing and connection into something much closer to corporate media. And many independent creatives have been doing a lot of unpaid work for big tech without fully realizing it. I talk candidly about my own experience building audiences on Instagram, YouTube, and this podcast—and why the familiar promise of “just keep sharing and it will pay off” no longer feels like a fair trade. I unpack the gambling-like dynamics of algorithms, attention, and hope, and explain the one big mindset shift I’m making as I head into 2026. This episode isn’t about quitting social media. It’s about rethinking our relationship to it, getting clearer about what we’re actually selling, and using these platforms more intentionally—as business tools, not creative homes. 🙏 A huge thank-you to all paid supporters on Patreon and on Spotify.

The State of Illustration Report with Darren Di Lieto | Episode 65 What does the illustration industry really look like right now — beyond highlight reels, social media, and shiny success stories? In this episode, I talk with Darren Di Lietto, founder of Hireillo and the author of the State of Illustration report. For more than a decade, Darren has been surveying illustrators around the world to better understand how we work, how we get paid, and how sustainable illustration actually is as a career. We have an honest conversation about confidence, pricing, late payments, mental health, and the quiet pressures shaping illustrators’ lives today. We talk about who’s best positioned to thrive, where illustrators are struggling most, and why so many are being squeezed out early on in their careers. I was surprised, and honestly a little bit depressed by the numbers in the report—but Darren helps me see some of the positive takeaways as well. 🙏 A huge thank-you to all paid supporters on Patreon — your support makes conversations like this possible.

In this episode, I get honest about the tension so many of us feel around AI: the uneasiness of using it while also distrusting it. I talk about why that discomfort might actually be meaningful—and how embarrassment or shame can act as a compass for finding the line between assistance and authorship. I share a real story about how AI helps me not over-think a purchase decision with my daughter. I also share about my feelings about receiving AI-written emails. You'll learn how I think about using AI to help me without letting it replace the parts of my job that actually matter. We talk about the long game: creative confidence, limits, process, and what it really means to maintain authorship as an illustrator.

Interview with Raymond Biesinger How do you defend your creative work when clients underpay, misuse your images, or ignore copyright entirely? In this episode, I talk with Montréal-based illustrator, artist, and author Raymond Biesinger, whose new book 9 Times My Work Has Been Ripped Off (Drawn + Quarterly, 2025) is part memoir, part self-defence guide for independent creatives. Raymond pulls back the curtain on wage theft, unauthorized usage, blurred legal lines, and the everyday realities illustrators face when protecting their work — and their livelihood. This is a wide-ranging, candid conversation about money, boundaries, professionalism, and what it really takes to survive as an illustrator today. 🙏 A huge thank-you to all paid supporters on Patreon — without you, this show wouldn’t exist. IN THIS EPISODE • What “being ripped off” really means (hint: it’s not just stylistic copying) • Why wage theft is rampant in the creative industries • The blurry, case-by-case nature of copyright enforcement • How creatives can strategically bluff to protect their work • Why talking openly about money is essential for healthier creative careers • The role of mood, timing, and resources in deciding whether to pursue a dispute • How Raymond developed his signature collage-driven style • The surprising story of a fan who copied his style — and how it turned into something positive • What Raymond hopes independent creatives will take away from the book SHOW LINKS Raymond Biesinger Website — https://fifteen.ca Instagram — https://www.instagram.com/raymondbiesinger 📕 9 Times My Work Has Been Ripped Off (Drawn + Quarterly, 2025) — https://drawnandquarterly.com/books/9-times-my-work-has-been-ripped-off/ 📘 305 Lost Buildings of Canada — Goose Lane Editions — https://gooselane.com/products/305-lost-buildings-of-canada?_pos=1&_psq=305+lost&_ss=e&_v=1.0 From Tom 🎨 SLO-FI Illustrations (new Skillshare class) — 30 days free: https://skl.sh/4nbo3KT 📗 Drawing is Important — now available for preorder: https://geni.us/DrawingisImportant SUPPORT THE PODCAST You can help Thoughts on Illustration grow by: • Sharing the episode with a friend • Leaving a rating or review • Following the show • Becoming a paid supporter on Spotify or on Patreon — https://patreon.com/tomfroese FIND ME ELSEWHERE Website — https://www.tomfroese.com Instagram — https://www.instagram.com/mrtomfroese Daily Drawings — https://www.instagram.com/drawingisimportant CREDITS Music and cues by Mark Allan Falk — https://linktr.ee/semiathletic

What is the secret to making cohesive illustrations? Also known as unity and harmony, this is the elusive quality that makes your illustration feel "whole". In this episode, I look at why that sense of unity is harder to achieve in digital work, and how thinking in terms of physical media and physical reproduction methods can bring your images together. I introduce what I call The Five Stars of Cohesiveness—Purpose, Drawing Style, Medium, Reproduction Method, and Application—and show how, when these align, your work gains that solid, self-contained presence we all chase. Using Ben Shahn’s The Shape of Content as a case study (read on for visual examples), I unpack how medium and black-only printing worked hand-in-hand to create unusually cohesive results—and how we can borrow that logic in our digital workflows. If you’ve struggled to make your digital illustrations feel unified—and want a concrete framework to diagnose why—this episode is for you.

How does one become a professional cartoonist? In this episode, I talk with New Yorker cartoonist Tom Toro, whose sharp wit clever drawings have kept readers laughing (and thinking) for more than fifteen years. Toro’s debut book, And to Think We Started as a Book Club (out now from Simon & Schuster), gathers the best of his cartoons from over a decade and a half at The New Yorker. In our conversation, we dig into the realities of professional cartooning — from the weekly grind of submissions and rejection, to the balance between writing and drawing, and the creative fire that keeps artists like Tom doing it anyway. 🙏 Thank you to all paid supporters on Patreon — without your support, this would be an expensive hobby.

What happens when you bravely create from what matters most to you—even when you’re not sure others will understand? In this episode, I talk with artist and author ⁠Suzy Ultman⁠, whose work blends joy, vulnerability, and cultural identity in a way that’s both incredibly specific and widely relatable. Suzy is the creator of a series of Jewish-themed board books for Penguin Workshop — ⁠I Like Your Chutzpah⁠, ⁠Shabbat Shalom⁠, and It’s a Mitzvah! — and in our conversation, we explore the story behind these books: the experiences that shaped them, the fears Suzy had about putting herself out there, and what it means to lead with joy even when it’s rooted in something much deeper.

In this episode, I reflect on the journey of the podcast so far and the evolution of my illustration process. From overcoming burnout in the early seasons to finding a sustainable rhythm in Season 3, I discuss how the podcast has mirrored my own creative growth. Alongside this, I get real about the challenges of balancing podcasting with the rest of my life and career, the emotional toll of self-doubt, and the joy of connecting with listeners. Plus, I dive into the challenges of building a community around the podcast and the ups and downs of monetization. I open up with a story about the little man who tried to tear me down on Threads. If you’ve ever felt like giving up on something you love or questioned whether your efforts are worth it, this episode is for you. IN THIS EPISODE Reflections on three seasons of podcasting and illustration The challenges of balancing podcasting with other creative projects How self-doubt and external criticism can shake your confidence Finding joy and fulfillment in podcasting, despite the obstacles The question of whether podcasting is still worth the effort—how to know when to keep going The evolving mindset behind my illustration process and the shift from burnout to rewilding PLUS – Why I decided to stop doing custom episode art and the joy of simplifying the process.

In this episode, I share my thoughts on the evolving meaning of “rewilding” my illustration process. Originally, rewilding meant bringing analog elements back into my work—inking on paper, scanning textures, doing things the “hard” way. But lately, I’ve been asking myself: is it really about going analog? Or is it about something deeper? In this episode, I unpack how rewilding is less about tools and more about mindset. I look at how digital tools can either suffocate or support our creativity, depending on how we use them. And I share how I’m finding spontaneity, joy, and pride in my work—even when it’s 100% digital. If you’ve ever felt disconnected from your creative process, or worried about how AI and digital tools are affecting your style, this episode is for you. I also share some reflections on the Amish, digital minimalism, and why your mechanical pencil will never ask you to rate it on the App Store. IN THIS EPISODE PLUS – Why my Apple Pencil will never beat a Mason jar full of ink water.

In this episode, I share my thoughts on the difficult but exciting journey of rewilding my illustration process—bringing back more analog, handmade elements into the way I work. While the dream of working more physically is alive and well, the reality is a lot more complicated. In this monologue episode, I unpack six core problems I’ve identified as I try to rewild in real life, and I talk through some solutions, mindset shifts, and small actions I’m taking to move forward. If you’ve ever felt stuck between your current style and the one you wish you had, or if you're navigating your own transition as a creative, this episode might hit home. I also share some personal updates, what’s coming up with my classes and book, and an embarrassing story from my recent trip to Paris that involves vintage books, broken French, and a stranger’s purse.

In this episode, I share my conversation with Roberts Rurans, a Latvia-based illustrator who creates all his work using traditional materials — literally painting his images with acrylics. When Roberts talks about his brushes, he means the actual ones lying on his table, not virtual tools in a menu! His process is physical, full of quirks, accidents, and unexpected moments — and yet, his work feels fresh and totally at home in today’s digital illustration landscape. Roberts has worked with clients like Hermès, Nike, Apple, and Coca-Cola, but his artistic integrity shines through no matter the project. In our conversation, we talk about evolving your style, the tension between old and new work, the difference between art and design, and what it’s really like to work 100% analog in a mostly digital world. Toward the end, Roberts answers questions submitted by my Patreon supporters — including whether he secretly uses any digital tools (you’ll have to listen to find out). I wrap things up with some community notes and another “Embarrassing Story of the Episode,” featuring me, a trail run, some hikers caught unawares, and a well-placed band-aid.
