Here’s my chat with Michele Assarasakorn. Podcast available on Apple Podcasts and player.fm
Michele is a Thai-Canadian illustrator based in Vancouver. Since graduating, she’s worked in different industries gathering experience as an artist until she discovered the joy of storytelling through personal illustrations and colouring the works of comic artists she admires.
During our chat, Michele talked about her work on ISOLA with Karl Kerschl and Brendan Fletcher. She also shared her experiences while accompanying the Toronto Comic Art Festival team to Japan. Michele talked about attending local venues and experiences including her amazing trip to the Studio Ghilbi Museum. She even dropped some hints about what to expect in the coming issues of ISOLA.
