We haven't given up yet! This week we're forging ahead with Jerry and his "How to Be an Artist" nonsense.. or is it? Are we actually starting to learn something? 

Probably not. 

But we did record at night and that does mean we had a drinky poo which does mean quality content, so please to enjoy while we talk about how artists are cats or cat are artists and how Leon literally cries at everything.

Dudes... we don't know either. The current political climate and state of the world has us unable to form complete sentences, nevermind how tired we are of these childish "how to be an artist" lessons.

So join us, won't you, on our most disjointed but still pretty entertaining podcast. This week you'll learn the original name of our show, how we feel about art and activism and how YOU feel about crayons. It'...

We continue our adventure into the wild world of the Jerry Saltz article How to Be an ArtistThis week it's Lesson 11: Listen to the Voices in Your Head and Lesson 12: Know What You Hate.

We're back and we're OVER it. This week our patience is starting to wear thin with the repetition in the Jerry Saltz article we've been picking to pieces, but in the end, we do exactly what lesson 10 suggests and find our own voices.

In this episode, we start to disagree a little with Mr. Saltz and his How to be An Artist article, but hey, it's all in good fun and it could also be the drinks talking (it's not). 

Join us for a very special episode of day drinking, hangovers, single-handedly solving the equal pay problem with one podcast and of course, learning to embed thought in materials because at some point we have to talk about art. 

Bonus meme! We&...

In this episode, we continue our discussion of the Jerry Saltz article "How to be an Artist" with lesson 8: Now Redefine Your Skill. In other words, now that you've learned all those technical skills, how will you make them your own?

And in true Leon & Ry fashion, we derail as we often do. How would you draw a butt?

Practice might seem like a no brainer, but are you actually doing it? In this episode, we sit down to discuss the art of practicing and of course with our trademark off the rails conversation. 

In this week's fireside chat, find out if Ry or Leon has ever pruned a tree. Also, did you know Leon trained with a master magician? What a weirdo.

And of course a discussion on the next lesson from the Jerry Saltz article on "How to Be an Artist". This week it's pick up your effin' pencil, stupid! Or other mediums. Whatever you want. Just get out ...
