She doesn’t like art much, she can’t sketch, she draws with scissors and she prefers to listen to crime documentaries while creating her gorgeous whimsical, fantasy style illustrations. Aside from being a highly talented sought after illustrator who earns the bulk of her living through commissioned work, she’s also honest, funny and down to earth.    &lt;figure data-test="image-block-v2-outer-wrapper" class="         sqs-block-image-figure         image-block-outer-wrapper         image-block-v2         design-layout-card         combination-animation-none         individual-animation-none         individual-text-animation-none         image-position-left        " data-scrolled   &gt;              &lt;img data-image="https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5b0a65a7710699ffc2af817c/1547446594902-B4AQVFMTMTRW90MZWPZY/ke17ZwdGBToddI8pDm48kLxnK526YWAH1qleWz-y7AFZw-zPPgdn4jUwVcJE1ZvWEtT5uBSRWt4vQZAgTJucoTqqXjS3CfNDSuuf31e0tVH33scGBZjC30S7EYewNF5iKKwhonf2ThqWWOBkLK..." data-image-dimensions="400x400" data-image-focal-point="0.5,0.5" alt="Blog.jpg" src="https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5b0a65a7710699ffc2af817c/1547446594902-B4AQVFMTMTRW90MZWPZY/ke17ZwdGBToddI8pDm48kLxnK526YWAH1qleWz-y7AFZw-zPPgdn4jUwVcJE1ZvWEtT5uBSRWt4vQZAgTJucoTqqXjS3CfNDSuuf31e0tVH33scGBZjC30S7EYewNF5iKKwhonf2ThqWWOBkLK..."  /&gt;                &lt;figcaption data-width-ratio class="image-card-wrapper"&gt;                &lt;p class=""&gt;&lt;em&gt;To be an illustrator is the most adorable jobs of them all.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;              &lt;/figcaption&gt;     &lt;/figure&gt;  Monika talks to us aboutHer journey to becoming an illustrator (spoiler alert: it’s the best journey Ive heard thus far :)  )The business of being a freelance illustrator and how she got startedArt licencingHow growing up in the Swedish winter might have affected the art she produced todayWhy she chose illustration and not fine artHer illustration processHer thoughts on posting art on social media You can find Monika atWebsite: www.walkyland.comInstagram: @monika_forsbergFacebook: Walkyland
