Now what can I tell you about Tilley and Del the Pig

She spoke a little bit about her family we met mummy bear, nanny hippo, her dad and step mum and how long it took the whole family to come to terms with Tilley’s diagnosis.

She spoke a lot about her life before Heart n Soul and the various different care homes she’s lived in and how certain people struggled to understand Tilley’s World. Tilley did not get her
diagnosis of asperger syndrome until the age of 20.
Tilley spoke a lot about what Heart n Soul meant to her – she described Heart n Soul as a big family. The opportunities she’s had through Heart n Soul include going to Malta as part of the Art-is project. Where she did a speech to the high commissioners.
The buzz cut festival in Scotland where she facilitated workshops on puffing and wooling.
Tilley and Del even demonstrated puffing and wooling in their interview. Now I’m deliberately not going to say too much about that as I’m going to let you listen to it when it’s available at The Big 30 website and at the LMA – but trust me it’s amazing.
Tilley spoke about how she makes comics with the the support of artist Ben Connors.
Tilley ended the interview by talking about her hopes and dreams for the future and I really do hope she gets to where she wants to be in life.
All that’s left to say is thank you very much to Tilley and Del for being part of the Heart n Soul #Big30Archive.
