Setting Stages

RJ Vergara (@rjv_collectives) started sketching as a hobby in his childhood. He even got in trouble for graffiti in his early years, but one thing he knew for sure was that he was damn good at drawing. Fast forward to current day, and RJ is now a published illustrator for a children’s book whose art can also be found on album and record covers for hip-hop artists, and on multiple occasions his work has even been recognized by top-tier celebrities. RJ (@rjv_collectives) talks about the complicated art of earning a paycheck for his passion. He’ll also share how he manages working a full-time day job and raising a family while side-hustling his profession in art - sound like you? Whether you’re an artist or not, RJ’s perspective in this episode is sure to hit home with anyone pursuing ambitious goals.
