Should Comic Conventions Leave California? Dealing With The California Lockdown The H+A Podcast 37

It looks like it will be highly likely comic conventions will be canceled again in 2021. Artists and creatives won’t be able to last that long. There are a bunch of states that I and so many others (Joe Rogan, Tesla, etc) would consider moving to like Austin, Texas, Phoenix, Arizona, and Austin, Texas. We talk about all the reasons why it’s a smart decision. With the incoming financial crisis, high taxes, and the state of California’s economy, there is every reason to leave.

The Importance Of Taking Breaks, Vacation Time, Industry Hiatus, Mental Health For Creatives The H+A Podcast 035

Taking breaks especially as an artist or creative is extremely important. Creatives tend to be workaholics for a number of reasons. When you become a professional and start to understand how vacation time works, industry hiatus and how it affects your mental health, you need to adapt in order to survive. Not only that, taking breaks can make you more productive. I talk about my own experience not taking breaks or vacation time both as a professional artist and as an art student in art school. Contrasted, with Vincent talking about his upcoming break and why artists need it. This is important art advice that is often glossed over, but more important than ever.

Art School College Stories, Work Smart Not Hard The H+A Podcast 034

We share our experiences in art school and some college horror stories. I debunk the myth of the art center work ethic and much more. We talk about the benefit of online courses, specifically online art courses and other things you could do in lieu of going to art school. This is particularly important to discuss right now during quarantine when most schools are going online for the fall semester. We dispel some of the lies that are sold to young artists, we talk about the truth and give some advice to the beginner artist or art student. These are all things that I wish I knew before starting art school and we try to give reasons not to go to art school. The hard truth is that you don’t need an art degree in order to get hired in the animation industry or any art industry you are interested in.

Hollywood Is Dying And What That Means For Artists and Creatives The H+A Podcast 33

Did anyone watch the 2020 Emmy Awards? Exactly. Hollywood, the film industry, and animation is dying as we speak. I talk about what that means for the artists and creatives who currently work (and shill) for hollywood and for the art and film students looking to see how to prepare. When no one cares about hollywood movies, Disney, Netflix and traditional entertainment, where will the jobs go? Is streaming the future, or is youtube? Does the emmy statue mean anything anymore, or is it completely irrelevant? We share our opinions and what young creatives can do to protect themselves.

Moving Out of California?! Should I Leave California? The H+A Podcast 31

I have been thinking about leaving California for a while. There are a bunch of states that I and so many others (Joe Rogan, Tesla, etc) would consider moving to like Austin, Texas, Phoenix, Arizona, and Austin, Texas. We talk about all the reasons why it’s a smart decision. With the incoming financial crisis, high taxes, and the state of California’s economy, there is every reason to leave. Having a much lower cost of living is one of the biggest reasons that will allow all creative entrepreneurs more freedom to build their businesses.

How To Know If A Job In Hollywood Is Right For You The H+A Podcast 31

Being an employee and working in Hollywood is not for everybody. I talk about how to figure out which kind of person you are. If freelance and going solo or getting a full-time job is better for you. We also talk about how to get a job in animation and share some artist advice that isn’t commonly talked about. It’s full of career advice, why good employees quit, workplace bias, and poor manager stories. It’s a reason why toxic work environments exist as well as toxic bosses. It’s easy to get demoralized as an employee or even as an aspiring artist when learning about pathological workplaces.

Selling My Art For The First Time And The Worst Convention Experience Ever The H+A Podcast 028

I talk about the first convention I ever went to to sell my art. CTNX (creative talent network expo) was the first and worst convention I ever tabled at. I share my experience while also providing tips on how to make money by selling your art at conventions. Artist alleys can be a great place to get started making money. Trade shows can be a lucrative side hustle if you learn how to make merch, art prints, and how to price your art. I provide vendor booth tips, booth display ideas, and more!
