http://ChrisOatley.com/zg2/ What would you do if you struggled for seven years to finally get an interview for your dream job at Disney… ...and then completely blew it? Would you give up? ...create a “Plan B”? What if you had already tried “Plan B”? ...or would you hold onto hope for a second chance, humble yourself and double your efforts? Disney Toy Designer Zach Gracia continues his story today on The Oatley Academy ArtCast! In part one of this series, Zach told the story of how he challenged his family’s expectations to pursue an artistic career, struggled through art school and avoided debt by working multiple jobs (including some uncomfortable internships)… …and when he finally got a chance at an interview with Disney Animation, he completely blew it. And now, in Part 2, Zach tells us: How he finally broke in at Disney. Why all the struggle was all worth it. Why Mentorship is so crucial for success in the entertainment industry... ---- You can connect with Zach at ZachGracia.com ...and if you’re an artist with a big heart and a teachable mindset, who isn’t afraid of hard work and hard questions, and you love Animation, Illustration or Comics, I’d love to help you develop a Visual Storytelling career that is both creatively fulfilling and financially sustainable.
