Listen "Episode #29 with MrGlen Wilkins"
Episode Synopsis
On today's episode, I chat with the lovely and soft-spoken Glen (or 'MrGlen', as he is popularly known) shares his wisdom from his career as an art director, and those who have influenced his work. We also chat about typefaces & fonts, magazine designs, photo-shoots, and what the difference is between an art director and designer. MrGlen also candidly talks about depression and anxiety, and how he uses art illustration as a therapeutic outlet. And of course, we look at the quotes that continually encourage him.MrGlen is a multi-disciplinary designer and art director, as well as an illustrator, painter, photographer and new media artist. He studied at the London College of Printing in the mid-to-late 80s and has been working since in magazines and books and more recently digital solutions - web, apps and AR applications. MrGlen likes to look forward and in the past for inspiration and is constantly trying to find new directions, new ideas, new tools. Thanks for listening to the episode. I'd like to thank my guest for their time, insight and being a great sport! I would also like to thank my producer, Ashanti Omkar, for all her hard work.If you'd like to be a guest, drop me a line at [email protected] Rising & Thriving. Aṣẹ!
