While I’m working, I usually have the TV on, but I’ll listen to podcasts and music sometimes.

I usually get up around 9am, have some breakfast, catch up on the news, answer emails, do the daily Worldle and then get to work by 10am. What does a day in the creative life of Phil Noto look like? We want to hear what makes for your perfect day on the tools! I keep a folder on my computer of random photos and sketches that I’ll go through, and start mixing and matching and narrowing down into final ideas.

I also had the pleasure of doing a poster for the HBO show Veep for SXSW.

My fine art/gallery stuff is all traditional mediums and I can just have fun with with it and choose whatever I want to paint. There can be a lot of art direction and approvals with those jobs. My comic and illustration work is almost all digital. How does your approach or creative process differ between the two? Your practice seems to be divided into your illustrative work, comic work and what you refer to as your gallery art. There’s more competition these days but there’s also more editors and art directors looking for new artists for projects. The more work you put out and the greater the quality of it, it will get noticed. There’s so much art on the internet these days, it can be hard to get your stuff to stand out.
