    353. 40 Years of Pinstriping, Lettering, and Graphic Design with John Foster

    This week on the Artist Academy Podcast is an interview with artist John Foster, all about his lifelong career in custom lettering, pinstriping, and graphic design. I love chatting with artists who have lived through decades of the evolving art industry because they offer a completely different perspective compared to those who are just starting out. The evolution required to survive in this industry demands an open mind, constant learning, and the ability to adapt. There are so many differences between today’s art world and that of 20+ years ago, and John has both lived through and thrived in those changes. We discuss how he got his start as an employee, eventually transitioned to being his own boss, and moved across multiple states—even to Europe—as a freelance artist. Let me know your thoughts on this interview with John Foster!

    347. Sculpting Your Own Art Career with William Jeffrey Jones

    This week on the Artist Academy Podcast is yet another replay of an interview I did over 4 years ago with an inspiring artist who is living their unique art dream. William Jeffrey Jones is a sculptor living a little over an hour away from me in small-town Missouri. After this interview, I was so inspired by this unique human that I drove to his location to meet and create with him. We threw on the pottery wheel, and I made a really big cup. We also recorded the session and put it inside the Academy because, back then, I had no idea what kinds of content artists wanted, so I was just recording anything and everything creative. William is the epitome of an artist living out his purpose in life, the way he wants to live it out on the daily. He owns a pottery studio and coffee shop, works the odd hours he feels called to work, and creates the coolest things! Check out his Instagram to see what I mean.Let me know what you think of this week’s replay with sculptor William Jeffrey Jones.
