Starting off Pride month strong with Jae (Nala Wu), a proud ND, queer trans NBi POC working full-time in TTRPGs as an Art Director, Illustrator, and professional AP Stream Performer. They also do VA and sensitivity editing!

This episode dives into what art direction is, how to better express what you're looking to have an artist create, what sensitivity editing is and why every project needs it, understanding contracts, learning how to better price your artwork as well as the do's and don'ts of hiring artists.
