If you've ever felt behind because your manuscript isn't finished or your illustrations aren't where you want them to be, this session is for you. Academy Award-winning animator, author, and illustrator Alan Barillaro (Bunns Rabbit, Piper) understands that pressure, despite his impressive resume. In this candid presentation, Alan shares what he's learned about creativity's glacial pace, why throwing away hundreds of drawings led to better work, and how to sustain your energy when a project spans years rather than months. Whether you're a writer, illustrator, or both, you'll leave with a deeper understanding of why your creative timeline is exactly what it needs to be. Join us to learn how time can become your greatest creative asset instead of your biggest source of pressure.
