LIA Cast 62 - Our Voices in Conversation

How do our voices and conversational styles change in various contexts? Is there a line between "keeping it real," and respecting the venue in which you're operating? And what about finding the difference between interacting with your peers and your constituency? In this audio-only episode we break with our usual format to have a casual conversation about a variety of topics that all add up to how creative pepole modulate their voices in conversation.

LIA Cast 61 - Mining the Medium of Manga

We're joined by our second-ever guest on the Lean Into Art Cast for a talk about what makes the medium of manga so unique, and what we in the west can learn from it. Kasey Van Hise walks us through the ways manga artists establish pacing, explore the expressive potential of character design, and challenge the way we think of comics composition.

LIA Cast 60 - Storytelling to Make Your Presence Awesome

Many of us visual storytellers choose this line because it affords us the ability to hold up in a studio, away from the public. But more and more it seems that being a professional artist means getting one's self "out there." Does this mean we should take diction classes, attend networking seminars, or sign up for coaching from social media gurus? What if we already have the skills necessary to engage with the public?

This week we borrow from Rob's Storytelling to Make Your Comic's UI Awesome workshop playbook and examine how we visual storytellers have all the tools at our disposal to engage with others; whether it's to lead a presentation, get involved in your local scene, or just engaging with others online.

LIA Cast 59 - On Finishing and Triage

This week we take on the topic of Finishing, using Rob's recent experience at 24 Hour Comics Day as a microcosm of the life cycle of a creative project. How do you create your Finishing Machine, and when do you know whether or not you've created a Failure Machine?

We respond to a couple of Leaner emails, first from Dee Juusan who offers us an answer to a curveball we proposed in an earlier episode. Then we further develop our thoughts on Finishing based on some thoughts sent to us by Brian Taylor.
