LIA Cast 43 - Roadblocks to Sharing

If you've ever started a post on your blog, Twitter, Facebook, or Tumblr, and deleted it instead of hitting the "send" button, this one is for you.

Hot on the heels of our discussion on the value of iterating on ideas, we walk around the topics of self-editing, overpolishing an idea or project, and other roadblocks to publishing your work. Where is the line between refinining to perfection and the infinite cycle of self-editing? It's a talk on quantity vs. quality in the Lean Into Art style of topic exploration.

It's a fun talk about the secrets unlocked through iterating on our character designs, story outlines, and other creative projects.

LIA Cast 41 - Role Models

This time we try to wrap our brains around the concept of the Role Model. Who do we admire, and why? We use some of our own Role Models as examples as we model the process of breaking down the specifics of what moves us in the actions of others, and how we attempt to assimilate that information with our own unique perspectives.

LIA Cast 40 - The Game

At long last Rob is ready to launch his new workshop, Underwater Tomato Ninja at this year's Kids Read Comics and later here at Lean Into Art. Both of us are understandably excited about this, so we spend the majority of this week's episode talking about storytelling in games and "gamification."

We also spend a little bit of time talking about PWWTIWYS, or People What Want to Interact with Your Stuff.

LIA Cast 39 - Practicing Practice

This week we find ourselves thinking a lot about practice. How do we incorporate practice into our busy lives, and how do we identify when shipping on project with related disciplines contributes to practicing? How are all kinds of practice the same, similar, or different?
