Welcome folks to Episode 53 of The Pencil Pushers Podcast. In this convo, I speak to educator, painter and photographer, Nancy Carty. She also happened to be my high school art teacher. Nancy has been on my mind for a while to showcase on the podcast because of her art education background, steering budding creatives into a life in the arts for 4 decades. You can imagine there was plenty she’d learned and taught in that time. Nancy is perhaps not your average teacher. She grew up in Saudi Arabia, as an American child living in the middle east. This helped inform her roaming spirit and a love of culture and art. Nancy also talks about teaching in today’s ever-changing world, how she got her start while living and working in several towns, cities and countries, her thoughts and advice on AI and more.I love this talk with one of my biggest cheerleaders when perhaps I needed it most. I think you will too - so, sit back, relax and enjoy my chat with Nancy. PS: Don’t forget to take advantage of our Burny Wild’s promo code just for our Pencil Pushers fans.

Welcome folks to the Pencil Pushers Podcast. I’m your humble host Mike Rosado, illustrator, designer and lover of all things creative, and I talk with top tier artists in the hand-drawn arts. Today is no exception, where I talk to Nicolette Capuano, owner and primary artist for Nicolette Atelier, a bespoke mural and decorative arts studio specializing for both residential and commercial fields. I’d met Nicolette years ago in my hometown of Raleigh, and connected through social media, but that was about it. That said, I’d been watching her work from afar and I was always blown away by her skill and diversity of styles in a number of different spaces. Our talk here really showcases not only her love for the creative work, but how she took her families entreprenurial spirit into her own studio, giving her a solid business model that is surely the envy of many. Needless to say, there are lots of gold nuggets of wisdom for those looking to start their own successful studio. Nicolette was a joy to talk to as I’m sure you’ll see. So, without further ado, do yourself a favor - sit down, relax and enjoy my chat with Nicolette. PS: Don’t forget to take advantage of our Burny Wild’s promo code just for our Pencil Pushers fans.

Welcome once again Leadheads to another fine episode of The Pencil Pushers Podcast. I am of course your humble host Mike Rosado and I am honored to be sharing some time with you today. Speaking of sharing time, I had the pleasure of sitting down at the studio with Skillshare founder, Michael Karnjanaprakorn to talk about a myriad of topics. For those of you few creatives that may have never heard or used Skillshare, they are pretty much the premiere online learning resource for creatives. Listen in as we talk about how Skillshare came to be, what he thinks about the strengths and weaknesses are between online and traditional learning for creatives, changing our mindsets about business and money as an artist and so much more. Michael was a delight to chat with and I think you’ll find this to be one of the most insightful talks we’ve had yet.

Welcome folks to another fine episode of the Pencil Pushers Podcast. I am of course your humble host Mike Rosado and I’m thrilled to be sharing this next chat with my new friend Derek McDonald. Derek is a West Coast vintage inspired sign painter that holds the key to some of the greatest traditional crafts of the past 150 years. Hand painted signs are an amazing part of our industrial history and Derek is not only a talented carrier of the torch, but he’s also a massive historian of the craft, so I learned a lot. Derek not only had his own studio but also works full time at Disneyland as a sign painter. We get into the thick of his creative story, I learn more about the history of sign painting, how you too can get into the craft and what it’s like to work at Disneyland and what he sacrificed happily to get him that remarkable once in a lifetime job. Derek was a blast to chat with as you’ll soon see. So, do yourself a favor, follow him on Insta @goldenwestsignarts while you sit back relax and enjoy my chat with Derek.
