September 28, 2022 16:00 - 32 minutes - 30.1 MBFor the final part in this series, we're looking at our work and taking some inventory. In this episode I break down five areas of our work and practice we can look at if we want to further develop our art and make it stronger. Some of these things may be obvious and some may not, but either way I find that a check-list analysis of our practice can be just what the doctor ordered when it comes to pushing our work forward, and ensuring that nothing is underdeveloped or overlooked. This is th...
46. 5 Things Blocking Your Voice [Pt. 2 Artwork Development Series]
September 20, 2022 06:33 - 31 minutes - 43.1 MBWhile we can talk about all of the techniques for getting new ideas, ways to weed out our influences and different aspects of our work that might need attention, none of that will take us very far if we're being held up by any of these 5 blocks. Developing our work requires us to take risk, know ourselves well, and have the ability to show up day in and day out. Unfortunately, there are some common (yet, not always obvious reasons) why we might have a hard time doing that. In today's episod...

This can weigh on us heavily, because we often feel like we need to be making in order to be in artist (but listen in for reasons why that's certainly not true). In this episode I talk about the different reasons we might go through such periods, the external expectations that need to be addressed, coping with the big bullies like fear, comparison, self-criticism and perfectionism, an...

October 20, 2021 06:00 - 37 minutes - 50.9 MBFor this final episode in our mini series on style development, I wanted to talk about ways we might both: find new inspiration when we're feeling stuck *and* uncover substantial ideas that we'll actually be able to stick with (hi cohesion and consistency). I think pushing our work forward in unique ways requires a balance of playfulness and focused intention-- which I discuss in this episode. Where ever you're at in terms of finding your style, these 10 suggestions will surely bring you a l...
34. Copying, Being Influenced and How to Weed Out What isn't Yours
October 13, 2021 06:00 - 31 minutes - 43.1 MBIn the age of social media, we're likely to experience either being copied, finding ourselves too influenced by other artists' work, or both. This is a sensitive topic on both ends. Being copied feels horrible (what do we do when it happens?), and trying to move away from the voices of other's when you're developing your own can be a big challenge. As part of our continued discussion on style development, I wanted to offer some nuanced thoughts for both positions with the hopes of validating...

September 15, 2021 06:00 - 54 minutes - 74.8 MBI love stories that showcase versatility in how humans find their way to art and make it their job. K’era is definitely one of those stories!

We get into what that journey has entailed, the practical side of licensing and getting her products into stores, owning the title of artist for herself and much more. I highly recommend this episode for that always-needed dose of “t...
