'Tis the season for crashing out babbbyyy. So why not combine a little intention, grace and humor into your chaos?

But seriously, as artists and/or business owners this has happened, and will continue to happen, to all of us. Therefore, you can count on your favorite three crash out experts to shine some light on it. In this episode, we talk about how to navigate a crash out if you're currently in one, our individual crash out triggers, what we've learned about softening the blows and preventing the preventable, and all the rest that comes with plastering your heart on a canvas for the world to see. Often, for money.

Today we are HONORED to be in conversation with professional obsessor, artist and science lover, Tyler Thrasher!

Join us as we talk about....

- the marriage of chemistry and art,

-spite as the greatest motivator

- figuring out how to keep up with supply after you go viral
- finding success as a non-nepo baby (resilience is fuel!)

- Tyler’s White Whale: the Black Monstera

manifesting as a re-brand for being so obsessed with an idea you HAVE to bring it to life

-utilizing your network to help you live your dreams

- the importance of asking yourself: “Do I REALLY want my livelihood to depend on selling art?"
His new shop “Materia" opens October 25th in Tulsa, Oklahoma and will be full of crystallized bugs and bones, glowing flora, sketches AND MORE

Does using your body to bring attention to your art devalue your work? Are social media gimmicks worth the cringe if they bring the sales? Is this all a consequence of social media or...have artists of the past also don't weird shit to make sales? Join us in this provocative episode where we spill tea, talk shit on woman-hating commentors, and examine our own biases about what we see as acceptable ways to get your art into the world and get your bag.

Today we're getting into all things murals (process! logistics! pricing! caring for your body!), transitioning out of a day job, and of course, COMMUNITY, with friend of the pod Allison Bamcat!

Allison has worked for Converse as a print designer before becoming a full-time independent artist and muralist. She has done several mural festivals including Worldwide Walls Hawaii and Worldwide Walls Long Beach. She also shows all over the US and internationally, most notably Thinkspace Gallery. We're honored to have her on the show!

Also: we made you a digital artist statement writing guide! You'll not only receive a full start-to-finish process on how to start crafting your statement, but how you can break it down and understand it better, too. You can buy that guide for 10 little dollars right ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠here. ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠

We're back from summer vacay! So we thought we'd let you in on what you've missed by listening in on our art friend catch up chat.

Marisa's been balancing health, kids, studio and teaching thoughts.

Devon's mainly been working internally and navigating life changes, unloading previous work and--gasp-- painting with less control.

Andrea's been up in the art v. money v. show prep v. injury struggle.

So, ya know, working artist business as usual! Tune in for ultimate relatability and bonus comments on biased doctors, frame dilemmas and horny dragons.

Or does good work only come from SUFFERING and EARNING IT? We touch on a lot of points in this one. Whether you're a rich kid or a sufferer or both, we think you'll find this convo interesting.
