This is going to have to be part one of many, because New York based Mexican sculptor Raul De Lara has way too many good stories ... Pepe the carpenter ghost, for example!

This is a very special episode because I didn't do just one interview, I interviewed a whole room full of fabulous artists at the San Francisco Museum of Modern Art. Who, you ask? The great artists of tomorrow - ages 3 to 10! Brace yourself for inspirational, hilarious, cuteness overload.

Today's artsy investigation takes a look into the WHY and HOW behind "ART and JOY", and oh so much more. If you've ever wanted to write a book but aren't sure how to get started, or you're curious about why I made the jump from adult art books to kids' books, all of the answers await!

If you don't go big, do you have to go home? We're investigating this question, but that's not all. We'll also explore how to "level up" by reaching out for a bit of help ... specifically PR help. Since these are two pretty big questions, I've brought in TWO creative experts to help me crack this case!

Today's investigation is a two-parter ... A) When every day of the week feels too busy for creativity, how do you prevent freezing up when there is a window of time? And B) How do you know if/when your hobby could become your everyday jobby? I'll be joined by a creative expert to help me solve this one!

I'm kicking off my new series of podcast episodes! Rolling up my sleeves to investigate (and solve) the questions and concerns sent in by artists from my community. I am ON THE CASE ... (PS I'll be joined by a mystery guest, who's an expert on beauty, to weigh in on today's investigation.)

Some good old fashioned therapy from the doctor who's not actually a doctor. Andy J Pizza is BACK on the podcast to talk about ladders, dreams, and sweatpants. Seriously.

Hyperreal paintings and a comic strip about a pug named Mochi. That can only mean one thing - New York-based Spanish artist, Gemma Gene, is on the podcast!

From Betty White to Prince, she's photographed them all! American photographer, Mary Ellen Matthews, has been the in-house photographer at Saturday Night Live since 1999 ... but today, SHE'S in the spotlight.

This is Part 2 of my conversation with New York artist, Petah Coyne, about my solo show, post-opening!
