LIA Cast 159 - Riffing Out a Story, with Chris Giarrusso and Gregg Schigiel (rebroadcast)

Talking about improvising a story on the LIA Cast!

How do you build an idea into a workable premise for a story? How do you find the details worth exploring, or the hooks that will grab an audience? This time Jerzy is joined by special guests Chris Giarrusso and Gregg Schigiel for a discussion on looking for the details or aspects of an idea that can be riffed upon to create situations that lead to stories.

LIA Cast 133 - Working out in Public, with Krishna Sadasivam (rebroadcast)

Talking about sharing your works-in-progress on the LIA Cast!

Working out in public can take many forms. Much like pumping iron at the beaches people walk by - when you post work in progress drawings to your Tumblr or Twitter accounts people see you putting in effort.

When is that an advantage? When does practicing illustration in public contribute to your training instead getting in the way? Does it ever slow your training down or is it always a power-up?

On this episode of the Lean Into Art Cast Rob and Jerzy explore these questions with Krishna Sadasivam Art Instructor and comic creator of the 15+ year running comic PC Weenies.

LIA Cast 274 - Peer Critique

As we’ve often said on this podcast, visual storytelling can be a lonely business. So how do you reach out to friends to get some feedback on a work in progress? What do we look for in a critique?

Join Jerzy and Rob for a critique modeling exercise, followed by some thinking about how, why, and what good critiques are for.

LIA Cast 273 - Developing an Online Class Within a Month

Providing workshops, interactive talks, and learning experiences is something both Jerzy and Rob enjoy and care a lot about. We know lots of you Leaners do too. Every week on the show we mention online classes we sell and once in a while we add to that list - recently Rob embarked on a creative challenge at Skillshare to make a class and publish it there.

Join Jerzy and Rob for a conversation about that experience making Drawing User Journey Maps to Design User Experiences, Gather Ideas, and Collaborate. What’s it like making a new class in the approach of Skillshare and partaking in their monthly Teach Challenge? How do you choose a topic? What about producing and editing, promoting and all that other work after the class is ready to publish?

LIA Cast 272 - Creative Work and Advocacy, with Alex Simmons

A recurring theme on the Lean Into Art Cast is the symbiotic relationship between the creative work you do and advocating for it (and yourself). How is your creative work affected when you go out and participate in panels, workshops, or other public events? How can advocating for others benefit your own work? How do you balance these separate careers?

Jerzy and Rob are joined by teaching artist Alex Simmons, co-founder of the Kids’ Comic Con and co-host of the Tell The Damn Story podcast for a discussion on navigating the balance of making art and advocating for it.
