Episode 03 - Ship Happens

When I was growing up in the 80's/90's, artists use toi make it seem like luck and serendipity only made working artists. Where were you guys when I was a kid??? Lol

Listening at work right now! Love it.

Great podcast, very inspirational.
I do have several projects that are collecting dust on a virtual shelf!
Loved the point about turning everything into an actual product and giving it many lives.

I have a question though, it seemed to me that Lee White got job offers after he met employers in person. It's said that clients hire people they know, and trust. How does this affect new illustrators who work online and can't network in person? and how to work around this obstacle?

I really liked this episode! I have been having issues trying to get my butt in gear and getting projects off the ground. I believe one of the reasons why I can't seem to get projects moving is because I haven't looked at the end product.

Listening to this podcast reminded me of a video I watched a while ago and I wanted to share it. It is a channel about creating video games but I feel that the same principles apply here too.

I really like the podcasts. There is no video so you don't need to watch the screen to see if you've missed some information. That is why they have become my favorite company during my drawing activities.

I'm not working as an illustrator, my art is mainly just a hobby, but even then the topics are interesting and inspiring. You never know what the future might bring.

The notes are handy as well. I like that I can go check them for links to the artists you all talk about.

Keep them coming.

(It has the wrong episode & name in the link, but this is Episode 3. @SVS Maybe someone can fix that, so it's not confusing?)

@miriam oh thanks

Lee mentions (I think it was this episode, I just listened to a few in the car) doing art fairs. I was wondering:

How much art do you need?
Do the different fairs have requirements for this?

Thanks,
