LIA Cast 323: Service Minded Marketing: Teaching Artist and Other Options

One way to add service to your products is to teach about how they get made. Marketing your work as an artist can be an uncomfortable second skill, though it could be more than that. Marketing your work in the best context is a service because it helps you reach the audience that needs and wants what you make.

In this episode of Lean Into Art, join Jerzy and Rob as they discuss telling the story of your creative products and the option to teach the skills you use along the way as an option to connect with new venues and audiences.

LIA Cast 249 - UX Bag of Useful Stuff (Rebroadcast)

Visual storytelling is a big theme with the Lean Into Art podcast. Also: working with what you have as a storyteller to do a myriad of things that go with not just the creative process but also presenting your creative work in a useful and usable way.

Jerzy and Rob talk about useful tools to consider using even if you’re not a User Experience (UX) designer. As we make and share our works we often encounter situations where we wonder if we could have shared it better - especially when that’s not our main focus for making a story, game, or other product.

Join us for an exploration of some handy tools from the world of skills in UX.

Join Jerzy and Rob for a discussion on evaluating a project when influential people in the field don’t want to invest in it.

LIA Cast 319 - Obstacles: Managing Time, Managing Energy

This week Jerzy and Rob take a look at some of the obstacles we encounter in making our art. How do we struggle with finding time for our whittling and side projects while also trying to keep refining our main jobs? And how does this friction with finding time affect our enthusiasm and morale?

Note: We ran an experiment this week in streaming the video podast to Discord, which called for some new audio routing. The result was a good stream that left us with misconfigured video. So an audio-only episode this week!
