The way u guys deal with schedules made me realize how unorganized I am. I really need to shape up
Woah, hey that's me (Scott)! Damn, I didn't expect such a quick response asking a question! Thank you all for your great advice, I had been stuck in a loop since quitting comic books, and your advice has really changed me and brought some major clarity and focus. Thank you, Jake, Will, and Lee!
30 minutes in to hit the “40 y.o. artist” Q&A - good suggestions from the panel 👍🏻 It seems their has always been this academic pressure and professional expectation, (largely stemming from other artists,) for the serious artist to pick “one thing” if they want to be taken seriously and get work. In my experience, diversification in my studio and portfolio has created work opportunities that I would’ve otherwise missed had I concentrated all my efforts on one skill and commodified my work into a singular style. I have found that each medium and style carries over into the other and increases my problem solving skillset on a variety of subjects. I’ve always been creatively ambidextrous and rather than fight against this natural impulse I have found ways to integrate these seemingly disconnected elements into my collective “brand.” No amount of money is going to fill the void in your heart if your creative work isn’t feeding your soul and staying true to the many nuances that distinguishes you from a machine. We have to push ourselves to connect the dots between our artistic stars and create that meaningful constellation for others to discover. ⭐️
I guess Lee is not a Vegas buffet kinda dude. What if I want mozzarella sticks, lo mein and crab legs?! lol
Missed you guys! Here again to listen and be inspired. Loved seeing Jake's doggo! 🐶
I liked the "over 40 and where do I fit advice". I'm strongly in the camp of art is mainly a hobby for me but would still like to get really good at that hobby. so I love what I can learn from you guys. I'd like to teach others how (and why) to start an art hobby. Have you ever considered doing an episode on do's and dont's or pros and cons of teaching art? Either online or locally? Since y'all are teaching now, it seems you'd have some interesting takes. Love the show.
I was laughing so hard at your Seinfeld character comparisons. Lee as George…Lol. Anyway, I really came here to say thanks for the great content. I’ve been binge listening to the podcast for about a month now, and I always come away with new knowledge and usually a good laugh. I appreciate all that you do!
About the scammers, last year, I almost got scammed by a person posing as an art director, it felt fishy because they wanted me to buy a bunch of equipment that no one makes anyone, a Cintiq and MacBook that hasn’t been made since 2015, but purchase it through their “approved vendor”. The bad thing is this scammer contacted me through LinkedIn
Scary! Gotta stay one step ahead of these crooks!
@@leewhite134 Yeah, things seemed fishy when they were like "you need to purchase an I7 MacBook Pro and a Cintiq 21WX from our approved vendor" I'm like "I have an M1 MacBook Pro and a Cintiq 16 Pro, can't I just use that?" and they were like "no you need to buy from our vendor" and I kept asking who the vendor was and they weren't telling me, and they were like "you just need to send money to them via Cash app or Venmo" and I said I didn't have that kind of money to buy that in a day's notice and they're like "oh we can send you a check and once the check comes in, then you can send us the money" all in the meantime, I've been in contact with real person from the company they're representing and they're like "yeah, this person is fake". I almost got suckered into it, because I got into contact with that person on LinkedIn through a job listing.
Hey guys, listening in on the scam portion and I was also solicited this same way. My bank, Wells Fargo said at times they won't know that cashiers check is a fake up to 2 weeks!! 2 WEEKS before the bank catches it and Wells is a large banking firm. Crazy so yes, stay diligent!! As always guys, love your podcast. It's been a while Will.
wow! that is a long time for the bank to not know something is a scam!
What about pursuing creativity for the purpose of fulfillment but still producing for an audience? Like a creative artist with an audience? (For example, top dogs include Kirkman, Jim Lee, and others, while "regular" creator-owners include Image comics creator-owner titles. And what about all those small indie publishers). We can't have the best of both worlds, can we? :)
I got an L-shaped table in order to support my elbow. Not as fancy as Lee's gadget but works just as great. 😅
I made this comment on another SVS vid but I'll repeat it here: editorial clients don't buy caricatures all that much. If you have a caricature portfolio, you'll likely get commissions from corporate or individual clients - gifts for corporate speakers, Uncle Joe's retirement party, that sort of thing. Zero exposure but the money can be OK sometimes. The photocollage style has been more popular for a while, maybe because magazine ADs or graphic designers can get some images from Getty or Shutterstock, and whip up something themselves in Photoshop, no drawing required.
this is great - thank you so much
Thank you for making these, great advice and was super useful to see the examples with the other artists. Edit: Lee, we love your tangents don't worry :D also your armrest sans chair.
Works well!! DANKEEE
Not sure I understand what is meant by "highly rendered" can you explain that more? :)
i dont only have my age to take into very serious consideration but also the AI advancements...what a great time to be alive...woohoo !!!!!!
I think this is the first time I ever commented but I’m just listening to the podcast and yelling at my phone: CHECK?!?!? Really? Do people still use them? I mean, it’s the 21st century, there are easier / faster / more secure ways of payment then sending a piece of paper by post!!!
Are checks really still used a lot in the US? Couldn’t one request a different form of payment?
Anyway, since I’m here, a big thank you guys for the podcast! Great topics, great advice, always fun!

Lee, I'm not seeing the link to the elbow thing. I'm 60 and have recently developed shoulder problems in my right / mouse arm.
It's a little buried in the shownotes :)

RE SCAMS: Scammers will sometimes pose as real people in LinkedIn.so if you get what looks like a job offer from someone who is actually on LinkedIn, it could still be a scam. Happened to me last year - had to change my bank account. I did alert the real person over LinkedIn and warned them and shared info with the company's attorney. If you get a work offer, I'd suggest talking to the person on the phone. If they are impossible to reach, take that as another red flag.
About the scam in which someone sent Will a check but said they didn’t have a bank account yet because they just moved from another country: What currency was the supposed check in? Obviously you can’t deposit a check in another currency. Was it supposed to be a US cashier’s check? That story doesn’t add up on so mani levels…
Going to check out ClickUp now, though!
