"Eat rejection for breakfast": Illustrator Hazel Mead on how to kickstart your art career
Briefly

My grandpa was a freelance illustrator, one cousin's a photographer, the other's a product designer, and my uncle's a painter - they're all very artsy. I had a lot of inspiration around me and it was important that I had people that showed me you can make a career out of art.
I always loved to draw - it was my favourite thing to do - because I had that passion, and the evidence that it was possible to turn it into a career, it wasn't just a hobby. I knew exactly what I wanted to do.
I wanted to do everything within illustration. There was a moment when I wanted to be a court artist, a fine artist - right at the end of uni I wanted to be a political cartoonist.
