Ep 41 - Taking the Leap with Don Low

Ep 42 - A 30 Days of Vancouver Retrospective
After completing my 30-day drawing challenge I looked back at the ambitious goals I had set for myself.
“Every day, I wanted to first draw for myself, but afterwards spend a little time to see why someone else might care for it.”
In this quote, I explain the enormous importance of writing to my art. And writing as a way to deconstruct the art process. Find the best ideas from Ep 42 here.
Ep 43 & 44 - Inventing Life’s Meaning with Jim Richards
Jim Richards speaks about growing up in Louisiana and his career as a landscape architect.
“I'd learned that was landscape architecture and the fact that I could do something that would impact the world around me in a positive way, and that I could use a pencil and pens to do that… It was more than I could take!”
Here, Jim speaks about joining college for journalism, then discovering landscape architecture. Find the best ideas from Ep 43 here.
“And what's fascinating to me is maybe there's this cross-pollination going on between fine art and what, you know, kind of what we're doing here.”
Jim contrasts urban sketching with fine art, comparing them to fine art vs photography in the 19th century. Find the best ideas from Ep 44 here.
