Starting off Pride month strong with Jae (Nala Wu), a proud ND, queer trans NBi POC working full-time in TTRPGs as an Art Director, Illustrator, and professional AP Stream Performer. They also do VA and sensitivity editing!

This episode dives into what art direction is, how to better express what you're looking to have an artist create, what sensitivity editing is and why every project needs it, understanding contracts, learning how to better price your artwork as well as the do's and don'ts of hiring artists.

Pride comes a little early for the Quip & Quill as I'm joined by Kel and Em from Awfully Queer Heroes. We started off strong with talking about their ELEVEN Kickstarters but things quickly took a turn for the queerest as we talked about the harassment many queer creators get, and it just gets gayer from there. We talk about gender, sexism, sexuality, the lack of undergarments, and even get into a bit about accessibility in the community.
