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.

LIACast 78 - Pros and Cons of Cons

DateSunday, June 9, 2013 at 1:07PM

How important is it for independent creators to table or attend conventions? Jerzy and Rob explore a variety of angles to evaluating the benefits and costs of conventions (including art fairs, festivals, events, and trade shows).

Conventions are alluring social and business events yet can be expensive in both time and money cost. Especially so with conventions involve traveling long-distance. Yet we see examples of the excitment, networking, sales, and other benefits that can be part of successful conventioning.

We explore the pro and cons of conventioning and offer comparisons, alternatives, and combinations of attending, tabling, versus and considering your online presences.

Leaners won't be surpised - instead of a canned-plan, we take a choose-your-own-adventure approach!

LIACast 54 - Conventioning from a UI/UX Perspective

DateFriday, September 21, 2012 at 9:51PM

How does thinking about tabling at conventions in UI/UX terms change the way we think about our table setup/interactions?

In this episode of the Lean Into Art Cast, we kick things off with a wrapup of Jerzy's experience at SPX and the Ignatz Awards. We then explore the experience of tabling from user centric perspective and how that approach can inform laying out your table, presenting your books, and ultimately getting them into your reader's hands.
