LIA Cast 37 - Chipping and Adapting

 

Having found ourselves in a situation where our professional and personal pursuits are colliding, we spend some time this week talking about the importance of adapting to situations, or keeping loose knees on the deck of the boat. While we explore how prioritizing, avoiding the comparison game, chipping away at projects, and learning to delegate (when possible) can help one adjust to the constant pressures of a creative lifestyle, we face the inescapable conclusion that the terror never ends. But maybe we can adapt to it.

You can feel bad or inspired by this.

Oh, and some fun talk about our old D&D characters!

LIA Cast 35 - Artisanal Entertainment

Should visual artists think of themselves also as entertainers? Can the work speak for itself, allowing the artist to stay behind the scenes? What about a little of both? And what does it even mean to say one is an entertainer?

We walk around these questions this week and examine some well-known entertainers to see what they do to foster engagement with their fans. We also spend some time looking at what benefits such engagement brings, from networking to audience building to having more fun at public events.

Juggling_part_2_-_de_facto_hiatuses

In this mostly "art journal" style episode of the Polytechnicast I reflect on how I’ve been applying something I learned via juggling to my creative projects. I also share how that relates to which projects are getting my time and attention.
