You are dedicated to your craft. You have spent countless hours honing your skills. You have a boundless curiosity for the underlying theories and structure of communicating ideas. You are the artist who finds the connections between your medium and other communications media. You are the artist who relishes in a setback; after all, it's a new opportunity to learn and grow. Inspiration is more than a haphazard mode of thought requiring constant nurturing: it is your natural state of mind.

Lean Into Art is where you go when you're ready to push yourself as an artist in new ways. As a place to learn communication arts online it combines an art-journaling approach, the best of live and time-shifted classes, and a recognition system that encourages students to finish projects, give feedback, even participate in teaching.

It's a big art challenge - that's why we put the enticing warning in the name. You have to lean into it.

LIA Cast 33 - The Applause You Deserve

DateFriday, April 20, 2012 at 12:45PM

 

Please RT! Check out and "Like" my FB page! How about a +1? Give my Kickstarter a mention, why don't ya?

The gatekeepers (publishers) have been removed from your path to getting your work seen, but does this then make the public itself the gatekeepers? If so, how do you reach out to them and share your work? If we agree that we all have to do our own marketing and publicity, how do we do it in an effective and pragmatic manner?

Are the social media experts right, and we simply need to cajole the more famous members of our fields to mention us? Remind our constuencies to re-tweet, like, and +1 our stuff? We all want applause for the work we do, but how does our thinking change when we rephrase the question to getting the applause we deserve?
