EP 23: Impulse: An Interview with Miranda Meeks

Tommy and Micah talk about the ways we shape artistic process, and the ways it shapes us in return.

All good stories have a sequel, but that story doesn't always get told. Tommy and Micah talk through everything that comes up after you "become an illustrator."

Illustrator Miranda Meeks joins us for an in-depth discussion about mental and emotional approaches to working conditions, the power of impulse, and the importance of the self in art.

Concept artist and illustrator Jeff Simpson joins us for a deep dive into flexibility, artistic motivations, and finding beauty in chaos.

Special guest Greg Ruth joins us for an in-depth talk on drawing, finding joy in art, navigating the realities of illustration, and how the work we do shapes the artists we become.

Master storyteller Brian Stelfreeze joins us for a talk about instinct and intuition, the science of interacting with art, and finding that illusive "spark."

Tommy and Micah catch up over concepts orbiting opportunity cost: happiness, non-resistance, and the natural dichotomies in painting and perception.

In a special sneak peek into our monthly patron-only content, the team answers Patron questions about our favorite paintings, restarting a piece, the idea of 'style', and much, much more. Join us for an evening of finely-distilled honesty in the inaugural Drunken Q&A!

Tommy and Micah unpack a few quotes from the great basketball coach John Wooden, looking at them through the lenses of art and illustration.

The team gets real and takes a close look at doubt in art, life, and sometimes podcasting.
