Welcome to the Tiny Pencils Podcast!

In this episode we discuss our studio spaces, the challenges of working from home, and the importance of having a creative environment that feels right. And of course alongside tips for setting up a workspace we also share some unrelated stories, like booking our trips to France and Germany and getted spotted in Bristol.

Check out instagram for some visuals where we'll share our desks, pencil storage and those very cool tshirts from Phil.

Welcome to the Tiny Pencils Podcast!

In this episode we answer Amanda's question - 

Hi I am @wingingitdrawing. I have a full time job and art is my side hustle. How do I figure out how to go from a full time job to being a full time artist? Where do I even start?

We chatted about how we went freelance, picture books, the red arrows and more!

Welcome to the Tiny Pencils Podcast! This is a two-part social media series, and to confuse you, we've switched the order of these episodes; if you haven't already, you might want to go listen to the other episode. In this episode, we chat about the social media fear, creating a community and getting back to messages. We hope to add more to this series, so let us know if you have any questions!

Welcome to the Tiny Pencils Podcast! This is a two part-er on social media and just to confuse you we've switched the order of these episodes but we jumped in quite hard with the first one and thought actually this is a softer start.

Our top takeaways

- Set up your name on all platforms
- Choose a name / handle which is easy to find
- Write a strong bio
- Set up a mailing list

Let us know if you have any social media questions
