Silver is from Brooklyn, New York. He had recently graduated from college at the time of his interview, and was living in Brooklyn as an animator and illustrator. His days were spent, “at this point…I spend most of the time just trying to find work, like I think most recent grads are.”

Silver’s Most Likely To Is: "Most Likely To Work in Television"

We talked about the different levels of talent of people who go to art school, who is cut out for it, and what it’s like to look for a job after graduating from art school. We talked about “artist radar”, and how to tell who might be an animator.

Silver spoke about why artists have to appreciate life differently, and explained how he dealt with the “Be Practical” speech many young aspiring artists receive throughout their childhoods.
