Hi all ... The 'new' Artcasters show is up. Scott Serkland, Kevin Cross and I had a conversation about the benefits and drawbacks of being an artist on youtube.
Check out the show and tell us what you think. The new shows going to be weekly (every Wednesday) from now on.
I put together a special mailing list just for the show. If you're interested in 'only' getting updates for the artcast subscribe here - http://eepurl.com/bpGdMX
If your interested in keeping up with everything I'm doing, all the new art, new videos, auctions and blogposts, subscribe to my normal list - http://jefflaffertyillustration.blogspot.com/1999/12/newsletter.html
Thanks everyone and see you next time.
-Jeff

Rod Luper Question for you guys, all of you live of art?
Nathan Seabolt
Nathan Seabolt Hiya from Sydney, guys!
Rod Luper
Rod Luper But, do you guys work only in your own projects right now or still do some freelancer work?
Rod Luper
Rod Luper I ask you because I'm in this phase of life too, want to leave behind more and more freelancer work and focus only in my won art. But with wife and kids sometimes this transition is hard.
Rod Luper
Rod Luper My won art no, my Own art. ��
Rod Luper
Rod Luper Sorry
Rod Luper
Rod Luper I mean, Is hard to do this transition when you have wife and Kids to take care.
Rod Luper
Rod Luper Is taht more clear?
Rod Luper
Rod Luper Do you guys that this decision to try to persue to live with your own art, is more related to the age that you are right now?
Rod Luper
Rod Luper I mean, Right now I'm 40 year old, and I'm less and less patience to work with freelance and I'm having much more pleasure to work In my own stuff, like Fine Art.
Rod Luper
Rod Luper I'm also still have one or two clients, like old clients but, planing more and more to live only with my art.
Rod Luper
Rod Luper Totally true Scott
Rod Luper
Rod Luper Claps for you Scott
Rod Luper
Rod Luper totally agree
Rod Luper
Rod Luper I worked for more than 10 years doing comics for USA and all around the world, and now, I loose the passion that I had when I was young, to do comic book pages.
Rod Luper
Rod Luper because my "day Job" was to work with art.
Rod Luper
Rod Luper Is good to do that work with freelancer art for a time, make some money, and live of art, nothing wrong with that, just now with 40 years old, I feel that is time to persue my own art.
Rod Luper
Rod Luper this is why I'm teaching some art lessons, and cut the other clients for just two clients, to leave at least one or two weeks in a month to paint my own art.
Timothy Phillips
Timothy Phillips Does anybody think motion comics are a thing? or not so much?
Rod Luper
Rod Luper I don´t know Timothy, I think motion comics willbe like 3D cinema, not worth. I think that is something that will pass.
Rod Luper
Rod Luper Hahhaha, agree Kevin.
Rod Luper
Rod Luper I agree with you.

Rod Luper
Rod Luper Great show guys.
Rod Luper
Rod Luper Keep the pencils on fire.
It's good to see another one of these working-hangout type videos!
The topic-talking format is probably a great idea for these videos, as well as aiming for shorter vid times. I LOVED the daily working hangouts, really looked forward to listening to them each day even if I couldn't join in while they were happening. However, they did get repetitive at times. Having a topic to talk about may help prevent that and keep things interesting. Good job guys!
+Jesse Thanks Jesse, glad you enjoyed the show!
Do not feed the trolls ! If you get a troll, delete his comment and do not react to them! They want you to react, :)
If you love art, and enjoy making it then you will have a happy life ! There are some wonderful people on Youtube !
+davy j.y. Thanks Davy, good advice to follow
Great podcast! I loved listening to it, Jeff! I'd love to one day be on the artcast podcast! There's so many topics you all talked about that relate a lot to me, but I don't have anyone else to talk to about. Especially being a YouTube artist and the freelance vs industry mentality. It's awesome to learn off your experiences! Thanks for making these!
enjoyed the conversations ... keep up the good work
+Darren Beadman Thanks Darren!
