Two Artists One Cast

We're finally back with some fresh hot content! Come! Learn the difference between subject matter and content with us while we continue discussing Jerry's article and what words we're not allowed to say anymore. 

We haven't given up yet! This week we're forging ahead with Jerry and his "How to Be an Artist" nonsense.. or is it? Are we actually starting to learn something? 

Probably not. 

But we did record at night and that does mean we had a drinky poo which does mean quality content, so please to enjoy while we talk about how artists are cats or cat are artists and how Leon literally cries at everything. 

Dudes... we don't know either. The current political climate and state of the world has us unable to form complete sentences, nevermind how tired we are of these childish "how to be an artist" lessons.

So join us, won't you, on our most disjointed but still pretty entertaining podcast. This week you'll learn the original name of our show, how we feel about art and activism and how YOU feel about crayons. It's a very special episode. (Not it's not).

We continue our adventure into the wild world of the Jerry Saltz article How to Be an Artist. This week it's Lesson 11: Listen to the Voices in Your Head and Lesson 12: Know What You Hate. 

Although we don't necessarily scoop what Jerry is poopin' anymore, we still found our way back to the base idea by encouraging everyone to listen to their voices and maybe NOT follow the hate for once. 

And of course, our trademark hot mess conversation that we're getting better and better at every week. Learn about Leon's imaginary plywood chair while Ry struggles to understand wtf he's talking about. 

We're back and we're OVER it. This week our patience is starting to wear thin with the repetition in the Jerry Saltz article we've been picking to pieces, but in the end, we do exactly what lesson 10 suggests and find our own voices. 

You'll also learn all about Leon's lumberjack wrestling tag team and that Ry takes sips of Jäger when the sports ball doesn't go her way.

This week's exercise: Draw yourself as a 1980s wrestler (or draw the two artists podcast as a tag team) and share it with us by NEXT tuesday on Twitter or Instagram @2artists1cast

Mentioned in today's cast: 

• The wildly talented Nychos
• Painter & printmaker Philip Guston

*The first 20 seconds of this episode is the theme song from the hit show "The Critic" written by Hanz Zimmer and voiced by John Lovitz. Please don't sue us, we think you're hilarious. 

In this episode, we start to disagree a little with Mr. Saltz and his How to be An Artist article, but hey, it's all in good fun and it could also be the drinks talking (it's not). 

Join us for a very special episode of day drinking, hangovers, single-handedly solving the equal pay problem with one podcast and of course, learning to embed thought in materials because at some point we have to talk about art. 

Bonus meme! We're starting a new weekly project. Please join us this week in creating a "totem pole" of what makes you who you are. Directions at the end of the cast. Share your creations with us on Twitter @2artists1cast!

In this episode, we continue our discussion of the Jerry Saltz article "How to be an Artist" with lesson 8: Now Redefine Your Skill. In other words, now that you've learned all those technical skills, how will you make them your own?

And in true Leon & Ry fashion, we derail as we often do. How would you draw a butt? 

Practice might seem like a no brainer, but are you actually doing it? In this episode, we sit down to discuss the art of practicing and of course with our trademark off the rails conversation. 

In this week's fireside chat, find out if Ry or Leon has ever pruned a tree. Also, did you know Leon trained with a master magician? What a weirdo. 

We're back and with our 10th episode! This week we catch up on what we've been up to the last couple of weeks. In summary: Leon did not get drunk while drawing letters and Ry did get drunk on Bourbon Street.

And of course a discussion on the next lesson from the Jerry Saltz article on "How to Be an Artist". This week it's pick up your effin' pencil, stupid! Or other mediums. Whatever you want. Just get out of your head and get to it!

The continuing discussion of Jerry Saltz's article How to Be an Artist. This week we're on to lesson 5: Work, Work, Work with our pal Doc Reed (@iamreedicus). How much work is too much work or is there no such thing?
