Lean Into Art

Constructing a community around ideas we care a lot about and want to help others make use of: pursuing your art, developing it to where you want it to be, even teaching what you’ve learned along the way. Join Jerzy and Rob for a discussion of the themes we’ve planned and discovered over 300 episodes of Lean Into Art and where we’re excited to go and celebrate with you with this podcast and community.

Making minicomics has been a celebrated topic on the Lean Into Art Cast. They offer a low-risk way to get some practice on your craft, test out ideas for larger works, or explore the emotional journey of creative work in a short, manageable way.

But what if you don’t have any ideas that you want to try out? Join Jerzy and Rob for some discussion and classroom exercises Jerzy’s used to lower the threshold for starting.

Continuing our “obviously” series of favorite topics, Jerzy and Rob are discussing what’s so great about journaling and reflection as a habit just for their own sake and especially when you’re working on planning goals. Join in for a discussion of finding the time to reflect, making it easier on yourself to journal, and why we find these tools so darn useful!
