Description
This week on the Kirk & Kurtts Design Podcast, we’re joined by Joel Herrera—visual communicator, illustrator, painter, storyteller, and former Duke art professor. Joel shares how his love for comic books and a family steeped in creativity shaped his journey as an artist.
We dive into:
•The accidental (and slightly annoying) way Joel discovered his talent
•Why every artist feels like their work isn’t good enough
•The importance of putting your art out there—even when it’s scary
•Joel’s love for alternative movie posters and storytelling
Whether you’re a designer, an artist, or just someone trying to make something meaningful, Joel’s story will leave you inspired and ready to tackle your own creative challenges.
