Interview with Jared Cullum – Part 1

Jared Cullum is the award-wining author/illustrator of the wonderful 2020 graphic novel Kodi. Kodi tells the story of Katya, a young girl visiting her grandma in Alaska, who meets and befriends Kodi, a giant Kodiak bear.

We all loved the book and Jared’s unique watercolor style so much so that we reached out to him about appearing on our show, and he kindly accepted. As you’ll hear in this, the first half of our two-part interview, Jared loves talking about the process of art, studying the masters from the Impressionist era, and the process involved in creating a graphic novel.
