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.

Lots of reflection on a great weekend celebration of comics with a bit of exploring how my workshop Underwater Tomato Ninja - HTML5 Game Development went as well.

Even though this episode clocks-in at 1 hour 5 minutes I didn’t directly shout out to all the great artists I met or had a chance to see again at KRC 2012. This list is an attempt at covering both the artists mentioned and the artists I wanted to mention and I hope I got everyone. If I missed you - please ping me via email, twitter, or comment!
