It will always stay absurd to me that we can just go online and get to listen in to the thoughts and views of inspirational people such as Patrick. Thanks so much for recording this and making it available to us. These talks are so valuable to me.
'when I was in the navy, I was haunted by the fact that years were taken away, and I wasn't painting. when I'm painting, I don't feel that. So I know this is what I want to do.' couldn't agree more, well said Mr. Jones.
Always fantastic to hear more from Patrick! One of the biggest influences on getting me back into drawing and starting my channel to share the adventure with others. Your discussion about the happiness of the cleaner women is a very important point to remember both for creatives and really everyone: freedom is a personal responsibility. Patrick's father like the other businessmen were stressed by the need to keep their businesses going but they could also in effect "make work" with their own skillset. Whereas the cleaners, if they lost their jobs, could they be found again as easily? It feeds towards the point Patrick made about how Instagram has pulled the rug from under artists. Any time you're overly reliant on another entity to be a crucial connection in your life/business, that's a possible failure point. If a person is relying on there to always be industry jobs in animation, concept art, etc. there's the possibility those jobs as we know them just disappear one day. Similarly, no one social media or other website can be counted on to always be a reliable lifeline connecting us to customers and fans. Much as we wish we could all just "be artists" and let other people worry about the money, it's important to stay well rounded. As Bruce Lee said, "Be Water."
@ oh thank god. Make sure you check in with some Aussies before you go wandering off down here. We can help you plan accordingly 😜 Start around Patrick’s place and drive all the way to Perth. Will you cut through the middle or take the nullabor? Top end perhaps? And you have to show us the journey too because most Aussies don’t have a spare few weeks just to drive around. Plus, we have to keep an eye on the tourists.
My mistake, I thought I had read that somewhere. I think it is true that he didn’t have an ideal home life. I still love him as an artist. I brought him up because he is so iconic and influential but had to sacrifice to get there
something ive always appreciated of your podcasts is the cozy chat feeling. really feels genuine, just 2 people chatting. keep it up dude
Thanks, that's definitely the vibe I'm going for!

I really love Mr. Jones' open mindedness and his thought processes. I'd love another interview like you did with Mr. Weistling

This was great. I was really struggling in my art journey today and this helped a lot.
Don't stop, keep hustling! 💪🔥
Thank you Kristian for doing these interviews! I always listen to them "driving to/from work" and always feel enlightened with them.
Loved this! A really important conversation for anyone looking to develop a healthy relationship with their craft.
Man, i need more podcasts like this to listen to while I'm working. Helps me keep believing that I can still make it in this industry and not give up.
You can do it!
@@KristianNeeTV Thanks mang and I appreciate it but also some recommended podcasts would be cool too, lol.
28:00 That very nice to hear as an recent graduate. The idea of choosing the right path is very demotivating, Illustration, concept art ect
Great stuff!
This is Fantastic!
I feel personally attacked, haha, good advice, great interview Kristian.
Love the interview, Patrick is my favourite. You’re in Australia?! We love a sketchy van down here…. Are you staying for long?
This was recorded in march-ish. Hopefully I’ll be there next year!

Actually, Rockwell didn't drink at all - you should always make sure your facts are correct.
