  • Shoot the breeze please!

    Loved your Three Illustrators Shooting the Breeze episode! I’be been a listener for years and love the combo of you three together the most. Fabulous content as always. I’ve been enjoying your guest interviews immensely too.

    I’m 40 years in on this wonderful ride as an illustrator, not always easy, but having peers like you to listen to inspires and enlightens, so thank you!

  • Do they just want your money?

    In general I am a very positive guy. In the latest podcast (Oct 2025) they both ragged on people who say $400 for their online class is too expensive then went on to talk about how stressful selling their house with a pool is because the realtor can’t figure out how to turn on the pool heater. It really brought me down and came off as totally out of touch. I love art but I think these guys don’t realise how those comments discourage people who are working really hard both just to make ends meet... more

  • Enjoyable click funnel

    I’ve been listening to this podcast for a long time and the hosts are interesting and charming in their own ways. They are also talented. They also often have enjoyable guests. It should be obvious that this is a promotional device for SVSLearn. The podcast promotes itself as “a place where you can learn how to be a professional, get hired, and how to make a difference in the world with your art.” If you’re listening though, the hosts also let slip from time to time that the reality is they need... more

  • Nope

    I really wanted to like this podcast. The first episode was 20+ minutes wasted listening to the male speakers continually talk over the one woman on the show. And they aren’t that interesting. Especially the professor with the scratchy voice. He sure likes to hear himself talk. C’mon guys. It’s 2025, almost 2026 and you still haven’t gotten the memo about letting women speak uninterrupted? Lame.

    Do better, guys.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Inside a Career in Comics with Stephen McCranie
Q: Is Webtoons today a viable platform for someone wanting to build an audience and find this community of artists for their work?
McCranie considers Webtoon a strong place for long-form stories, while short-form comics may be better suited to platforms designed for viral sharing. He advises creators to weigh the platform's less personal, more corporate approach and have an agent or lawyer review any contract.
Inside a Career in Comics with Stephen McCranie
Q: How do you create something that's vertical scrolling that then gets turned into horizontal flipping?
McCranie draws Spaceboy in page format first, making it easier to publish in books and adapt to scrolling platforms. He says creators who build comics specifically for vertical scrolling may face substantial reformatting work when preparing print editions.
Danielle McGeough: Keys for a Generative Creative Life
Q: What should you do when your project starts feeling like a burden and stops feeling playful?
She suggests recognizing shifts in energy and purpose, reflecting on what you actually want, and possibly shifting mediums or projects temporarily to preserve energy and joy, rather than forcing continued output.
Regina Linke: Illustrating Philosophy
Q: How did Instagram influence her career?
She explains starting Oxford Boy during the pandemic, posting regularly, expanding through audience engagement, and learning to balance personal voice with character‑driven storytelling as her following grew.
Regina Linke: Illustrating Philosophy
Q: How did Regina transition from a business/global‑aid background to illustration?
She describes a gradual pivot from corporate finance and microfinance toward travel and tourism in Taiwan, followed by embracing Gongbi painting and eventually developing the Oxford Boy project as a way to teach life lessons with a philosophical underpinning.
