LIA Cast 48 - Roles v. Goals

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?

LIA Cast 46 - Website Design Critique

It's been a while since we've given a whole episode to walking around the topic of design (since episode 26 to be exact), so we figured it was high time to put some focus on that aspect of visual communication once again. This time Rob critiques Jerzy's in-progress redesign of the Comics Are Great site. We even get some tips from Ryan Estrada, who shows up in the chat during the live stream.

You can join us during the next live stream, which we'll be holding every Tuesday at 9 pm ET on Google+.

LIA Cast 45 - When You Can't Accept a Compliment

Why is it we are so ready to reject praise but embrace criticism? Many artists admit to having trouble accepting compliments. We joke, we justify, we deflect them any way we can. Compliments make us uncomfortable. But why is that?

We tackle this topic while also testing out streaming our discussion via a Google+ Hangout. You can join us next Tuesday at 9 pm ET to participate in the next episode. Just watch our Google+ Page for more info.

LIA Cast 44 - Reflecting on Kids Read Comics

A common theme on the LIA Cast is reflection to improve a project or one's work. By looking at our intent, what went right, and what went wrong, we can make a more intentional approach to future projects. We model this idea once again by looking back at our experiences at Kids Read Comics 2012 and our contributions to the event.
