WTD Mini Episode #18 Intent vs Interpretation

Josh and Sergio ramble about the Super Bowl, Sergio gives an update on the gouache course and a sketch box he built, and they discuss a Youtube video they watched about business for artists. They talk about what they got out of the video such as how your personality relates to your natural salesmanship, limiting beliefs around making money, being a “sell-out,” learning pricing from selling merch, and competing with dead artists for market share. We end by discussing how “art means what you want it to mean” is a cop-out.  Book on sales that Josh recommended (Link)

#116 Doing It Better Is Better

Waiting To Dry is the most entertaining least informative art podcast on Earth. A podcast about art that's way more entertaining than reading an artist bio. Sergio Lopez is an artist who studied at art college, and Joshua Lawyer is self-taught. But both of them have a lot to say about being professional artists. This show isn't about what brushes to use or how to sell your paintings. They talk to artists and each other about what's going on in their lives and try to make each other laugh, and sometimes learn a thing or two in the process.

Hated at first. Can’t go without it now.

Best podcast ever

I enjoy all the banter but especially when the hosts/guests talk about art philosophy.

humorous, forthright, accessible

Courtney and Andrew from Trekell Art Supplies paid Waiting To Dry a visit all the way from Hesperia to Santa Rosa! We talk about a million different things with them! The evolution of Instagram, the difference between selling art and art supplies, the history of the company, do art suppliers get along with each other? They talk about doing conventions, filming artists for interviews, artists with side gigs, raising the value of fine art in society, celebrity artists, and how Andrew got his start with filming. How do they answer the Top 5 Alive and David Choe Money question?? It was great to talk about art with some folks who aren't artists but are in the art world. It is nice to get an alternative perspective on the art world from an artist-adjacent company. Very fun to get to know Trekell! Trekell.com Trekell's Youtube Page

#48 Cody Miles “Toilet Flowers”

Josh and Sergio answer your questions! No matter how silly or deep, they treat them with the appropriate amount of respect… or mockery! They first talk about emotions that don’t have words, working for exposure, learning digital painting and more. They ask the listeners which artists they hate, then they get asked what non-visual artists inspire them, why they don’t like acrylic, turning in art they don’t like to galleries, where to buy followers, who would win in a famous artist battle royale, give advice about staying inspired, and realize whoever owns a time machine is racist! They discuss doing sculpture, impostor syndrome, and a whole lot more! Subscribe to our Youtube channel please! https://www.youtube.com/waitingtodrypodcast
