LIA Cast 51 - Art Automation, Pt 2

20 episodes after our first talk on Art Automation, we return for another round of talking about why we shouldn't subject ourselves to repetitive tasks in our visual storytelling endeavors, and share a bunch of resources and tools we use to speed things up in the studio.

LIA Cast 50 - A Wacom-Enabled Tablet

So there's an Android tablet out there with a Wacom digitizer and a customized version of Photoshop installed. We spend a little time with this tablet, reporting the pros and cons, and speculating on why this device hasn't been talked about as an art creation tool. You may want to watch the video for this one first.

LIA Cast 49 - Authenticity

This week we take on what we find to be a slippery topic. How do we know when we're being authentic in our work? How do we think about honesty in our expressions? Can one remain honest while still attempting to manipulate an audience?

We land on four items of consideration that inform our own senses of how authenticity works:

Venue
Audience
Core Values/Mission
Context

LIA Cast 48 - Roles v. Goals

Reflecting on tonight’s @leanintoart Cast, it was two topic adventures. We explored Keep On the Borderlands and Isle of Dread in one go.

This week we attempt to dig at the topic of Roles vs. Goals by asking ourselves where we fall between the two and bracing for the answer. Do we want to simply be a part of a tribe, or do we set our career sights on a measurable outcome? Are these two things mutually exclusive? Even if they aren't, how does our work change when we lean toward one or the other?

LIA Cast 47 - Does Artistic Evolution Diminish Service to an Audience?

This episode is for the visual storytellers who might be mid-stream in a project or career and find themselves at what appears to be a crossroads: The desire to be playful and grow artistically versus providing what the audience has come to expect from you.
