You asked, we answered! In fact, we answered so much that we had to split this episode into two parts. In part one we get into:

- How to handle pieces you're unhappy with
- Getting out of creative block
- How to build a community of artists
- Confront doubts re: the business side of being an artist
- Affordable shipping solutions for large work

- and more

Stay tuned for part two, coming out next week!

Today's topic is particularly beloved by your hosts: collaboration! (Hey, this show is kinda a collab. Meta right? We talk about that.) Art collabs can go amazingly right or amazingly wrong, and telling all about what causes them to go one way or the other, from our personal experiences.

You'll hear from two VERY different collaborative teams: Devon and Marisa, and Andrea and Meggy (today's special guest!). So brace yourself for both, the extremely planned and the harmoniously chaotic ways that one might approach creative partnership. In addition to how to choose the right partner, what to discuss upfront, what should be expected of both artists, the do's and don't's and a whole lot more.

If you wanna own one of Devon and Marisa's collabs for rEaL, be sure to check out their dome collection, dropping August 14th!

Seeing as self-doubt tends to go hand-in-hand with making art, confidence is often a scary (yet crucial!) topic for us. So today we're digging into it from all angles: the nuance of being confident in some areas but not others, childhood labels, rejection, navigating openings, networking as an introvert, social media, and, most importantly, how to stand behind your work with the confidence it deserves. Whether you're a long time career artist or just starting to make stuff, we think there'll be a lot for you to relate to in this one!

Since we don't have a time machine to go back 10 years and warn our younger artist selves about the mistakes we would make, info we had wrong and perspectives that needed changing-- we recorded this episode instead. Listen to us lecture our younger selves about the truth about going viral, how the majority of artists do (and do not) support themselves, art school, what actually leads to success, what success even means and a whole lot more.

Saying NO is actually an official part of the artist's job description...or at least, it should be. There are a lot of scams out there-- some are obvious and some are a lot more covert. Today we're talking about all of them. What shows are worth your time? Should you invest in a mentor or online course? Or pay for a feature in that magazine? Fear not. WE'VE GOTCHU.

Finding your style and developing your work is kind of THE topic as an artist. None of the other stuff will matter if you you're not creating strong work that's unique to you. How do you cultivate that kind of work, you ask? Welp...it's a long and involved process that, naturally, we have a lot to say about.

In this episode we talk about what we've all had to learn and unlearn, the best ways to grow authentically, important questions to ask yourself to enrich your work, the biggest mistakes we see other artists making, the sure fire way to get our group chat shit list and a whole lot more.

Do you follow other artists and wonder how the heck they got that solo show/brand deal/in with a curator/project/ etc.? Us too. So we decided to spill all on every opportunity we've ever had, from gallery shows to murals and more. Lots of great tips in here for outreach, networking and setting yourself up to bring in the opportunities your artist heart desires.
