It’s been a pleasure for me to be invited to talk about the creative process at Essential Prose, a popular blog held by Zoë Westhof.

Zoë lives in Thailand and she’s a writer who works with other writers, nonprofit and educational organizations, and media, and she’s also a storyteller, like me. She’s also a very popular author at Twitter and at her blog she explores the crossroads of creativity.

At Essential Prose, I have answered a few important questions about the creative process, in relationship with my latst published work, the set of illustrations for “Talking With Strangers” album release. Questions like these:

• How important is research in storytelling and illustration?
• What comes first, the story or the image?
• Are emotions important in the creative process?
• Do tight specifications make the creative process harder?
• What happens when the story to illustrate is too abstract to put into images?
• How to achieve the desired result?
