Dave is funny, smart & asks some really great questions about the creative life. His guests are always interesting & real. As a creative myself, these conversations always make me think. The episode dated 1/14/20 is exceptionally thought provoking as lots of good issues were raised regarding art presence & social media.

Dave is funny and smart and insightful. When he talks it feels like he's every artist's best friend. And unlike a lot of others, he's actually got the cred to back up what he says. Great show!

As an artist/graphic designer in Long Beach I find a lot of things I can relate to on this podcast. As Dave likes to point out often, this is not a how-to, but a glimpse into the mind of an artist who's still figuring things out and taking us along on his journey. I appreciate that he doesn't sugar-coat his struggles and disappointments, but stays determined and positive in the face of them and finds motivation to continue his artistic pursuits. I love his rapport with Adam, and I like listening to them riff about all things Long Beach, including Donut Talk. When he has other guests on it's great too. Keep on keeping on, Dave!

Art Lessons feels like your just sitting with your art pals hanging and having good funny conversations about life and art.
