LIA Cast 157 - Art Events and Scenes, with Becca Hillburn

A common thread through many Lean Into Art Casts is advocating for your art in addition to making it. But how do you find the places or events where you can be of service? If you can’t find the places to be of service, how do you create an event of your own?

Rob and Jerzy are joined by Becca Hillburn for an exploration of finding your place in an art scene or making one on your own.

LIA Cast 155 - Inking

Talking about inking on the Lean Into Art Cast!


We all know by now that there are no “right” tools for drawing. But how do you begin an investigation into which tools to use? How do you interview the tool for the job you want it to do? On that topic, how do you define the tool’s job description?

Join us for an exploration of various inking tools we have used and continued to use in our illustration and comics work. We’ll hold live demos for as many of the inking tools as time allows.
