Hello everyone. I hope you are actually getting spring (or fall) weather wherever you are. I’m not sure what the weather is here. It should be spring, but the snow still insists on falling (damn snow!).
This is an interview I have been looking forward to. I absolutely loved Pip’s book ‘Digital Magic’ and I’ve wanted to talk to her for quite a while. It is a fun interview which I really think comes through.
Enjoy.
