PPP3: Visiting Professional: Good Wives and Warriors

I signed up to the lecture at the last minute, as I eventually found some time for it.
The collective of two illustrators, Becky Bolton and Louise Chappell had experienced some technical difficulties, and were unable to show the slideshow of their more 'embarrassing work, which was somewhat disappointing, as it promised work hitherto unseen by the public.

They described their ascension in the industry as practitioners, which seemed dangerously variable, as they had often agreed to do unpaid work, whilst also accepting large amounts of money for other commercial projects. They mentioned that on of their first agents hadn't secured them work for almost a year, however the benefits of them administrating the financial and legalese was valuable enough.

It was a peculiar story of their careers, as they seemed to focus on the mistakes, which is perhaps something most visitors avoid. This in a way, was far more useful, as it gave the audience an insight into what not to do.
