| 06 Nov 2024 | 23. Surviving the Economic Downturn | 01:27:00 | |
Finally a FUN and LIGHT HEARTED topic for you...jk. But, if you're anything like us, you'll find this discussion validating at the very least. Being an artist over the long haul means weathering the good, bad and ugly of the economy. How you adapt and stay connected to your work throughout those seasons is crucial (as many of us are experience right meow). In this conversation, we talk about the factors that have created the current less-than-ideal-state of the art market, how to adapt from a business perspective, and how to do what's best for you and your work along the way.

| 24 Jul 2024 | 8. How'd You Build That Confidence? | 01:28:31 | |
Seeing as self-doubt tends to go hand-in-hand with making art, confidence is often a scary (yet crucial!) topic for us. So today we're digging into it from all angles: the nuance of being confident in some areas but not others, childhood labels, rejection, navigating openings, networking as an introvert, social media, and, most importantly, how to stand behind your work with the confidence it deserves. Whether you're a long time career artist or just starting to make stuff, we think there'll be a lot for you to relate to in this one!

Where do you fit? Who are your peers? What's the best approach to art-ing and business-ing, given who you are and what you value? These are questions we've asked ourselves a million times over and we kinda think you should, too. Listen in as we explore our own ever-evolving artist identities, discuss why self-awareness as an artist is such a big deal and provide tips for helping you find yours.

Today's topic is particularly beloved by your hosts: collaboration! (Hey, this show is kinda a collab. Meta right? We talk about that.)

So brace yourself for both, the extremely planned and the harmoniously chaotic ways that one might approach creative partnership. In addition to how to choose the right partner, what to discuss upfront, what should be expected of both artists, the do's and don't's and a whole lot more.

Though a vast and triggering subject for us all, we felt the convo needed to be had. Join us as we share our individual (and pretty unique) stories about being copied, what defines copying and where it gets annoyingly nuanced, the things copiers LOVE to say, and ultimately, how to prevent your work from being copied as best you can (some solutions might not be what you think!). And if you're a copier who wants to defend your right to "be a great artist who steals" don't @ us. We address this quote and its rape-y origins, head on.

| 16 Oct 2024 | 20. Imposter Syndrome, Mentorship and More with Sabrina Mari | 00:57:39 | |
Today we have a special co-host, friend and fellow mentee of Marisa's- Sabrina Mari! Since both Sabrina and Devon have been mentored by Marisa over the years, we thought it would be fun to chat about what they've learned, how they all came together, the importance of mentorship, community and different teaching styles. We love Sabrina for her transparency and realness (she obvi fits right in with the gang here) and we ended up going deep into imposter syndrome, being self-taught, taking long breaks from art and a whole lot more. We think you'll find her and this episode HIGHLY relatable no matter where you are with your practice and career.

"Tell me about your work?" is the most dreaded and opened ended question on the planet, according to most artists. And yet! If you make art you will most definitely be asked it, and a whole lot more in follow up. In fact, once upon a time, Devon had booked a studio visit and had no idea how to prepare, or what the heck she would be asked. So she called up Marisa and got a FULL run down of all the possible things that could happen and what she could say about her work (lucky her). In today's episode, we recreated that prep session for you.

Finding your style and developing your work is kind of THE topic as an artist. None of the other stuff will matter if you you're not creating strong work that's unique to you. How do you cultivate that kind of work, you ask? Welp...it's a long and involved process that, naturally, we have a lot to say about. In this episode we talk about what we've all had to learn and unlearn, the best ways to grow authentically, important questions to ask yourself to enrich your work, the biggest mistakes we see other artists making, the sure fire way to get our group chat shit list and a whole lot more.
