Episode 25: Spreading Yourself Too Thin

Episode 25: Spreading Yourself Too Thin

Author: Creative Type Podcast June 27, 2023 Duration: 23:02
In today’s episode of Creative Type Podcast, Lori and Jaime meet in Lori’s studio and chat in person about spreading your time too thinly over too many things and how that isn’t a productive way to accomplish business.

Ever find yourself in the studio wondering if other artists are wrestling with the same doubts, creative blocks, or small victories? That’s the space where Creative Type Podcast: Conversations for visual artists and art lovers lives. Co-hosts Jaime Haney and Lori Rivera built this audio gathering specifically for those who make and appreciate visual art, focusing on the authentic, unvarnished reality of the artistic path. Their discussions move beyond technique to touch on the isolation that can accompany the work, as well as the profound joy found in a shared community. Each episode feels like pulling up a chair in a friendly studio, listening to a conversation that’s equally supportive and amusing. You’ll hear honest reflections on navigating the business side of art, maintaining motivation, and finding your unique voice, all without pretense. This podcast serves as a regular reminder that you’re not working in a vacuum, whether you’re a seasoned painter, a digital illustrator, or simply someone who loves to see how art gets made. It’s about the whole picture-the good, the bad, and the ugly-discussed with warmth and a genuine understanding of the creative life. Tune in for a sense of connection and a candid look at what it really means to be a visual artist today.
