Following a Nobrow Talk (Sam Arthur) I attended on 22nd November 2013 I became really interested in their work and ultimately that of the illustrators they collaborate with one of them being Luke Pearson.
I have always been interested in illustration and collaboration but the introduction to Nobrow was definitely influential in terms of artwork and in particular books/comics. The Hildafolk series has proved incredibly popular both of children and creatives.
I had also recently found out about Travelling Man in leeds which is a comic book store, on the 22nd March there was a book signing with Luke Pearson which I really wanted to attend, unfortunately due to being in hospital I couldn't.
However I found that he'd actually signed one of my books and the shopkeeper stated it was the longest signing of the day so I was incredibly impressed.
In conjunction with that Nobrow also retweeted me which has definitely given me somewhat more confidence that asking questions and talking to creatives is definitely possible with confidence.
