Persistence Prevails: Todd Beats on Finding Your True Style & Never Giving Up
Join James in the Nerdy Mewzings Podcast studio as he sits down once again with comic artist Todd Beats for an inspiring, no-filter conversation about persistence, artistic evolution, and staying true to your creative voice! Fresh off conventions and exciting new cover projects (including The Maxx, a Darkness variant for Marc Silvestri, and VeeFriends for Gary Vee), Todd opens up about:
-Why daily practice and feeding your “truest self” matters more than chasing trends
-How he’s evolving his inking and rendering style in real time
-The mindset shift from perfectionism to joyful expression
-Closing commissions to make room for sequential storytelling in 2025
-Advice for aspiring artists: just show up, put in the reps, and let your unique voice emerge
If you’re an artist grinding toward your breakthrough or just love honest talks about the creative journey, this episode is pure motivation!
