Hot Art Wet City shares another interview, this time with illustrator Mark Illing. “I always really disliked the idea of going into art. It seemed like it wasn’t a very dignified profession. So I put all my effort in sciences; into calculus and chemistry and physics…” When it came time to decide on tertiary study, however, he came correct. Illing graduated from Emily Carr – the only school he applied to – this past Spring.
