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.
— Rob Stenzinger (@RobStenzinger) August 8, 2012

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?
