Somewhere I saw Podcasts!!! That’s all I do all day is listen to Podcasts. These podcasts are very enjoyable and a wealth of information. I am learning so much. Quality produced. I think you need to do a “Wallet alert” when talking supplies hahahahaha, I will keep listening and catch up on past shows. Oh and thank... more
I came across this podcast recently - episode #73 specifically - after getting into digital sculpting on the iPad. The breadth of questions the host asks, his enthusiasm, and the overall quality make this my new favorite art-oriented podcast. Reading that the host is self taught is probably what helps this podcast be so engaging - he has the enthusiasm of the amateur combined with the maturity needed to both listen and ask engaging questions.
The message I get from episode #73, ‘learn the basi... more
I have really enjoyed this podcast. When I found it early on in my artistic journey I powered through all previous episodes. Mike’s openness and curiousity, led to many episodes that were exactly what I needed at the time and I continue to look forward to each mew episode! As well, Mile is Canadian which is a bonus when discussing acquiring materials, subscriptions, etc. thanks Mike!
I recently stumbled across this podcast and it’s really just what I need… I enjoy Mike’s voice and attitude and his shows are always full of such interesting questions and people! excited to see what’s to come!
This podcast! 😍 Mike shares art tips, processes, and techniques. He offers deep-dive interviews with artists across all mediums that leave you feeling like you can do whatever you set your mind to and that you’ve just made a new friend.
Great timing for me right now. Summer projects have strangled my art, and I'm isolated in a small town. This inspires me to pick up and draw. Thank you! I love this podcast.
Really like the quiet, considered, reflective discussions and focus on pencil and paper and mark-making. Encouraging and interesting. Thank you Mike, do keep going! I am in Australia and your ideas and experiences cross boundaries very well.
