Who are the actual artists behind the illustrations of HITRECORD? It's a question I sometimes got answers to — either by having conversations in the comments of their contributions or by seeing them hop in front of the camera to talk about their craft on video or give a glimpse of their creative workspace.

But so many illustrators remained a mystery.

So, to encourage more and more illustrators to introduce themselves in a fun, artistic way, [create_self](/content/users/create_self/index.html) started [a visual prompt called "Meet the Artist"](/content/challenges/3688823?sort=most_recommended/index.html) where anyone could post a piece of art that included:

_1\. Their name & an illustration of themselves_

_2\. Things they like_

_3\. Things they dislike_

_4\. What's in their bag_

_5\. Optional info (location, interests, etc.)_

A slew of illustrated intros have come through over the years, each one offering interesting insights into so many of the amazing artists I have followed for so long. Through these "Meet the Artist" contributions, the community got to see a whole new side to each of them and connect on a whole different level.

I think this is a great way for anyone to share a bit about themselves with the rest of the HITRECORD community, and I'd highly encourage anyone reading this to draw inspiration from just some of the fantastic contributions that have come in, and contribute your own "Meet the Artist" drawing [HERE](/content/challenges/3688823?sort=most_recommended&challengeType=visualart/index.html).
