Plunging into Freelance Art – Wesley Layne

Illustrator Wesley Layne is on the Creatively Christian podcast, interviewed by Brannon Hollingsworth. Brannon and Wesley chat about the value of constructive criticism, pricing yourself correctly, and overcoming fear as a self-taught artist. He also tells his personal story about how he decided to pursue creativity full-time, including tips for others on making the jump. After years of working different jobs, from fixing printers to being a licensed financial advisor, Wesley Layne made a calculated leap to pursue his passion for illustration in February 2021. Since then, his client work has ranged from illustrating children's book covers, to simple logos. Wesley is a self-taught artist and is constantly looking for new projects to challenge himself, grow his experience, and most importantly, honor God with his abilities.
