"Illustrator, designer and co-publisher behind Caboose Books, Clay Hickson joined us in Los Angeles to talk about finding self expression through chosen sketchbooks and pens, both of which are key to his own creative practice and illustration process."
"He also sheds light on how a "self-reference library" helps him out in professional settings and allows for a place for his imagination to unleash (as well as practice drawing skunks)."
Clay Hickson is an illustrator, designer and co-publisher at Caboose Books who finds self-expression through carefully chosen sketchbooks and pens. Selected sketchbooks and pens function as essential tools in his creative practice and illustration process. A curated self-reference library supports professional work by providing visual resources, inspiration, and prompts. The self-reference library also creates a private, fertile space for imagination to roam and for informal experimentation. Practicing small, playful subjects such as drawing skunks forms part of a routine that sharpens skills and encourages creative risk-taking. Tools, reference, and routine together shape idea development and execution.
