LIA Cast 246 - Minicomics Preflight Checklist

Minicomics are a favorite topic on the Lean Into Art Cast. As Jerzy and Rob have expressed in many episodes, they’re a great format for testing out new ideas or proving to yourself that you can ship a project.

But even though the format is small and intended to be low risk, how do you know if your story or project is ready to begin? This time Jerzy and Rob share some of the signals they look for in a project to know whether or not it’s ready to draw.

LIA Cast 174 - Self Care (rebroadcast)

Creative pursuits often happen in addition to other, often more pressing, obligations. Our commitment to the various demands on our bandwidth can often lead us to overlook rest, healthy eating, exercise, and purposeful pauses, elements necessary to keep us effective in meeting our commitments!

Join Jerzy and Rob for a discussion on navigating the frictions between bandwidth for creative projects and for self care.

LIA Cast 149 - Chunking Your Workflow (rebroadcast)

Talking about managing your workflow on the Lean Into Art Cast!

Creative projects can sometimes become unwieldy. Even if you’re deeply involved in making a thing, you can find yourself lost in the creative weeds, unable to find your way back to where you were going initially. The thousands of choices promised by an ongoing project can be liberating, or they can be paralyzing.

In this episode of the Lean Into Art Cast we’ll explore some chunking strategies we’ve used to make our ongoing projects sustainable. We’ll also discuss how capturing data can help you re-shape the chunking process as you go.
