## Dear Jacky #10

It can be easy to assume that all creative industries function similarly, especially in a world where we’re more globally connected than ever. However, as Agent/Producer Emma Downie shares in our latest Dear Jacky article, geography still matters - influencing everything from communication styles to budgets to project expectations and how artists are received.

For a complete run down of budget ranges we’ve come across for the AU, UK and US, as well as insights into the top types of projects being commissioned in each region, check out Emma’s full article [here](https://www.jackywinter.com/dear-jacky/which-countries-pay-the-most-for-illustration-and-how-do-i-get-a-piece-of-it?ref=news.jackywinter.com)!

We love hearing what you guys wanna know, so if you’ve got a burning question for Dear Jacky, feel free to drop us a message!

## Shelf Stories Episode 1 - ft. Jeremy Wortsman

We’re chuffed to drop the [first episode of Shelf Stories](https://www.instagram.com/p/DW8DdLuDfu6/?ref=news.jackywinter.com), our new BTS content series where we show you what’s on our shelves and share stories sparked by the wonderful (and weird) things that live there.

And who better to kick things off than Jacky WInter's founder, Jeremy Wortsman! In this episode, we hear about how Jacky Winter began, learn that Jeremy’s greatest professional accomplishment involved a rabid parrot, and find out that the weird stuff on our shelf...is mostly just stuff Jeremy bought.

Hope you like!
