CYOP #94 - Stretching Yourself Creatively + Embracing Your Voice with Brooke Barker of Sad Animal Facts
b'Today\\u2019s guest is Brooke Barker of the Instagram-account-turned-book, Sad Animal Facts. I\\u2019ve been following Brooke\\u2019s Instagram feed, which as you\\u2019ll hear in the episode, I came across while we were both participating in The 100 Day Project last year. \\n\\nSad Animal Facts is a project that is exactly what it sounds like; facts about animals that are a little bit sad or melancholy, but with Brooke\\u2019s quirky humor driving the treatment of each fact. Her illustrations are adorable and the facts are things that are funny-slash-sad because they\\u2019re true. \\n\\nIn the interview, Brooke and I discuss how her one-a-day Instagram project turned into a book in just over a year, how she\\u2019s navigated the new-to-her realm of book publishing, and why she believes in exercising your creative muscles by trying to incorporate new mediums and projects the mix. We also talk about Brooke\\u2019s other work and how, even though she gets to work primarily on fun and funny projects, she still has to walk the line between humor and professionalism in her everyday life.\\n\\nFor the full episode + show notes, visit creatingyourownpath.com.'
