“Every moment in life becomes a treasure hunt for inspiration”: Sirin Thada, Catapult Artist for January 2020
“I love that I get to read vivid stories, collaborate and connect with thoughtful and kind people, and learn new things all the time.”
Catapult

Catapult


allowed me to explore different media and techniques, and also bond with internet friends and colleagues—which will always be the heart of the project. Without each friend who was willing to invest their time and share their stories, the project couldn’t exist! I’m always very grateful for that.
Going digital is very helpful for tight deadlines, and makes changes much easier, of course. But now that I have a little bit of a breather coming up, I’m looking forward to slowing down, working more by hand again, and refining my “toolkit.” Working with my hands and creating actual, physical art, will always be my first love, and I don’t want to stray too far from that.

“In college, I think there was this idea floating around that a real illustrator worked all night—and if they weren’t, they were half ass-ing it. [Now,] I like to give my brain some time to absorb and to rest in equal measure.”
