thank you for sharing this joey! it inspires me a lot to hear your story of becoming an illustrator and knowing that our career trajectories aren't always linear :) I really appreciate how you emphasized how the industry isn't a meritocracy-- I've seen so many success stories that felt like they came from places of privilege and it frustrated me a bit. I guess all we can really do is be passionate, find connections, and just draw!
