As part of our ongoing print on demand series, we've been introducing you to different companies and marketplaces and are supplementing our own experience by interviewing artists with expertise in different areas. In this episode, we're excited to introduce you to Brittney Lewis, an artist, photographer and outdoor enthusiast obsessed with travel, journaling and being in nature. Her colorful, bold work includes surface design, typography, photography, ink and more.

Dave Conrey is an artist and designer from Southern California, currently working towards building a client free creative business model. When he isn't working on his own creative projects, he spends his time exploring new resources for creating and selling art and then shares what he learns with his fellow designers and artists. He also makes cool things so others can go make their things and put more cash in their pockets.

The number of things Dave does makes our heads spin. He paints, he designs posters, t-shirts, typefaces, magazines, he blogs, makes YouTube videos, now he's even exploring NFTs, and about a zillion other things. There are so many things that we could talk about with Dave that we could record for hours and hours. But today, we want to introduce you to him and focus on print on demand and creating art and design challenges.

Back in episode 9, we talked about how we just might be art supply addicts and have WAY too many of them. When you live in small spaces or have limited real estate to park your art supplies, organization becomes really important. Laura’s condo is an organized chaos of supplies, while Nikki’s has historically just been chaos! In this episode, we share our best ideas for keeping our supplies organized and accessible in small spaces – and Nikki tries to figure out what she’ll do in her new bus studio!

The focus of this podcast is helping artists who are getting started with their art businesses. We tend to keep things lighthearted, but with the events that have happened in the last week in Ukraine, we felt drawn to use this platform we have grown to help support those in need.

We have decided to donate 100% of the profits on our Startist Society shop, as well as both of our individual POD shops on our own websites through the end of March 2022 to TogetherRising who are supporting organizations on the ground in Ukraine right now that are providing much needed support. We will personally DOUBLE the final amount of profit from our shops when we make our donation to Together Rising. Every little bit helps.
