This is another episode of the student spotlight series where every Monday I interview my amazing Artist Academy Advanced students to get to know them better, give them direct advice on their art business, and so I can get feedback on how to be a better teacher. This week I’m interviewing Lindsay Moore and Dorin Mogda as we talk all about murals, prints, and everything that comes with being an up and coming artist. Lindsay is currently juggling the motherhood and fulltime artist role ever so well, and she was actually in the middle of painting a mural as we were talking. I could see a fun kids themed mural in the background which just goes to show you how used to juggling things she is. It’s nice to just talk face to face with my students every week so I can better understand them, where they’re coming from, what they’re going through, so I can better understand how to teach them! Anyway, let me know what you think of this student spotlight interview with Lindsay Moore.

Next up is Dorin. I’ve mentioned this before but sometimes people join for the community like Lindsay and sometimes people join for the tutorials and templates, like Dorin. He’s an art student who’s just taking it one step at a time entering the art world. We talk about how to handle negative comments on social media and on a more positive note, our mural meetup that’s coming up July 11th! Dorin is meeting us there and I’m so excited to teach everyone everything I know about painting murals. Seriously, if you’re a student I highly encourage anyone within driving distance or a cheap flight away from Iowa to take advantage of this gathering and come learn the ropes. I’m going to be teaching everything from how to spray, to lettering, varnishing, and everything in between. If you’re interested in more info just send me a DM, but for now let’s get to Dorin’s interview.
