Thunder Punch Daily 140 - Crunch Time Sets Me Free

Today I share some thoughts on how being up against a wall on a deadline forced me to shed all of the tension and anxiety that I build up through the desire to get a "thumbs up" from my audience. Sometimes I, at least, need to remind myself that it's about the work first.

Lean Into Art Poll: Analog Vs. Digital

Polls. So many polls. Why mess with those pesky things? At Lean Into Art we think they're a fun way to kick off conversations! Everyone's welcome to play along! In our first poll, we're wondering how many artists prefer analog tools to digital or vice versa.

Members of the forum (students and teachers of Lean Into Art workshops) can join in on the next part of the conversation: Why do you prefer Analog, Ditigal, or a little of both?.

LIA Cast 03 - My Daily Burden

This time we talk about that critical moment in our lives when we discovered that we genuinely loved to learn, which spirals out into some talk on our favorite and least favorite educational experiences.

We than spend some time talking about the value of community art challenges, and ruminate a bit on what kinds of challenges we might launch within the Lean Into Art community.

We close with a little news on what's happening on the Lean Into Art website as we gear up for 30 Classes in 30 Days. Have you signed up yet? It's going to be fun.
