TheSparkAndTheArt.com/102 - Knowing what a project isn't can be as important as knowing what a project is. Adding that perspective can help get unstuck and get started or finished.

TheSparkAndTheArt.com/100 – I’ve had the opportunity to be a guest on a couple podcasts since I started this podcast and the hosts of those shows were kind enough to let me re-publish them here as my celebratory 100th episode.

TheSparkAndTheArt.com/99 – An interview with film and television composer Alec Harrison. I’d say Emmy Nominated composer but you’ll hear at the end of this episode why Alec doesn’t think that would be impressive or important.

TheSparkAndTheArt.com/98 – we talk about an article I read on Reddit by Amir Rajan about his success in the iTunes App store. The article is basically a how-to for working with Apple to have a successful game for iPhones and iPads. Amir’s success was in the range of $700,000 USD over the course of about 3 years.

TheSparkAndTheArt.com/97 – Lorian is an elementary school art teacher in Florida during the day and does illustration for children’s books outside of work. In today’s chat we talk about a teacher who inspired her, her own passion for teaching and her work as an illustrator. Her passion is obvious and infectious and I can’t imagine any kid not being inspired by her enthusiasm for art.
