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 43 - Roadblocks to Sharing

If you've ever started a post on your blog, Twitter, Facebook, or Tumblr, and deleted it instead of hitting the "send" button, this one is for you.

Where is the line between refinining to perfection and the infinite cycle of self-editing? It's a talk on quantity vs. quality in the Lean Into Art style of topic exploration.
