On this episode of the podcast, I talk with David Van who runs the Madison Makers Market. I had originally met David when I talked to him and his partner Megan on the podcast about their company Tacocat Creations. Back then David had just taken over the Madison Makers Market.

Today I talk with David about what the Madison Makers Market is, how people can get involved with it, and what it's like to run your own series of pop-up events for creators and artists.

In this episode of the podcast, I talk with writer Paul Leonard Williams. Paul has written a series of detective novels based on his central character Gideon Jones. But as we talk I find out that the idea for these stories started in high school but he was talked out of trying to be a writer by his parents. So for many years he actually went into the field of martial arts before deciding to reconnect with his original passion to be a writer later in life.

I turn on the mic and try to talk myself out of a creative rut. One of the things that motivated me? A podcast interview I did recently.

This is the last in a 3 part series I've been doing about publishing my webcomics as print-on-demand books on Amazon. I thought I would share this on the art podcast as I'm doing the setup for my fourth book this year.

In the previous episode, I shared how my webcomic transformed from something I was just posting on my website, to a thing that I could find multiple uses for at once.

In this episode, I go over the actual publishing process using Amazon KDP to make the book and what the royalties are after Amazon takes out the printing cost from the sale price of the book.

I recently made a series of videos about publishing my webcomics as print-on-demand books on Amazon. I thought I would share this on the art podcast as I'm doing the setup for my fourth book this year.

I gave some background about how I started my webcomic in the last episode of the podcast. 

This time I share how my webcomic transformed from something I was just posting on my website, to a thing that I could find multiple uses for at once.

I recently made a series of videos about publishing my webcomics as print-on-demand books on Amazon. I thought I would share this on the art podcast as I'm doing the setup for my fourth book this year.

I've been doing my webcomics since 2017 and every year I put together a collected version of them into a book.

I hope that this helps anyone who has been thinking of making a book out of their own artwork or will benefit anyone that may have been thinking about transforming their own artwork into a book.
