Weekly Sketch Starter: Draw your creative space- or a tomato, if you’re feeling brave!
In this episode, Evan Kitson sits down with one of his longtime painting heroes, Julie Heffernan, for a rich and wide-ranging conversation. Julie is renowned for her lush, allegorical paintings, but in recent years, she’s taken a surprising and thrilling turn into the world of graphic novels with her debut book Babe in the Woods: or, The Art of Getting Lost.
Together, Evan and Julie dive into:
The origins of Babe in the Woods and the unlikely software behind it (spoiler: Microsoft Paint!)
How narrative and composition intersect in both her paintings and her book
The difference between critique and personal exploration in visual storytelling
Trees, mark-making, and the visual vocabulary of digital drawing
What it means to truly respond to your own work- and how to let go of what no longer serves you
The role of beauty, mystery, and formal relationships in building meaningful art
The powerful influence of image streaming on her creative process
Julie’s upcoming second graphic novel, plus her thoughts on artists, films, and books that shaped her journey
In this host-led episode, Evan explores the multifaceted concept of creative peers- from trusted studio mates and former instructors to students, teaching assistants, and even art-historical influences. This episode was inspired by two simultaneous exhibitions Evan is participating in: “In Good Company” at the Demuth Museum and “6x10B” at Curio- both of which revolve around collaboration, friendship, and the shared creative impulse.
