"I use the 'we' because I feel like collaboration on projects is how you get to the end goal."
In this episode, we dive deep into the career of illustrator and animation director Dan Woodger. From his breakthrough emoji project to his current approach to social media, Dan shares insights on navigating the ever-changing landscape of illustration. He discusses the challenges of maintaining a signature style while evolving creatively, the importance of work-life balance, and his journey from static illustrations to animation. Dan also offers valuable perspectives on collaboration, client relationships, and staying true to one's artistic vision in the face of industry pressures.

Key Takeaways:

  1. Early career breakthroughs can be both transformative and overwhelming.
  2. Evolving your style is crucial for long-term creative growth and satisfaction.
  3. Setting boundaries on social media use can improve both personal life and professional focus.
  4. Collaboration and openness to new ideas often lead to better creative outcomes.
  5. Balancing client work with personal projects is essential for artistic fulfillment.
  6. Adapting to new technologies and platforms (like animation) can open up new career opportunities.
  7. It's okay to step back from social media and focus on creating meaningful work.
  8. Having clear goals and a "dream client list" can help guide career decisions.
  9. Work-life balance, including focus on health and family, can positively impact creative output.
  10. Staying true to your core artistic vision ("fun and silly" in Dan's case) while being flexible in its application is key to a sustainable career.
