Our creative income streams
Today we’re talking about money, and sharing the multitude of ways we make money as illustrators and creatives. For most of us it’s not possible to “make it” by doing just one thing, which is why it’s good to have several income streams to make enough income to get by. We also talk about the kinds of creative work we do that doesn’t pay, and why that can be important too!We’re now on Patreon !

In this podcast we draw and talk about illustration, but we’re not just illustrators! In this episode we wanted to talk about all the other fun parts of our lives. This year has been very different and we haven’t been able to enjoy a lot of our favorite things. So if you’re feeling out of touch with your life at the moment (which, same!), we recommend doing what we did and listing all the fun things you are.

Getting over art block
We’re probably all familiar with art block - none of us can be creative all the time! But when you’re in the depths of it, it can feel impossible to get out and feel creative again. Finding that joy of creating can be a challenge, but like all of life, there are ups and downs. In this episode, we talk about times in our own lives of not being able to create, and share strategies that have worked for us in finding the joy of making art again. Because maybe that joy is more important than being productive?We’re now on Patreon !

Making feminist art: interview with Apila Pepita (part 2)
This week’s episode has been pre-recorded, so we did not have a chance to express our solidarity with the protests currently happening in the US and globally following George Floyd’s murder. As white people we feel it’s important to not stay silent. Instead we need to educate ourselves and each other and actively support black communities, and we would like to encourage you friends to do that too. We have shared some resources in our instagram stories on how you can help, and they will be saved in highlights. Also this article is a good resource: https://www.thecut.com/2020/06/george-floyd-protests-how-to-help-where-to-donate.html Today's episode is a continuation from last week, so if you haven’t listened to episode 5, be sure to do that first! We chat with illustrator and creative-all-arounder Apila Pepita about covering feminist and LGBTQ+ topics in personal art and how that can influence your creative career. We also share our heartwarming pet stories! Follow Apila on instagram @apilapepita and on twitter @apilapepita . Also visit Apila's tattoo account on instagram @apilatattoo .We also have a few announcements. Due to the current situation with the pandemic and having to isolate, we are unfortunately not able to meet and record video episodes, so for the time being we will do it in audio-only format. We are recording in our own homes with separate setups, so the sound quality is going to be a bit different for the two of us, since we are talking to each other on video call. Please bear with us as we make it work given the current situation. We will return to filming video episodes as soon as we can meet in person again. Now to the good news! We’re now on Patreon !

Is productivity overrated?
The pressure to be productive is real! In this episode, we share our own experiences with productivity, and wonder whether the demand to be as productive as possible is actually bs.

Creative in isolation!
We’re back! Our second season starts with a current topic and something both of us have struggled with: How to stay creative in these strange times of social isolation. It hasn’t been easy, friends! We talk about our own experiences from the past few weeks, and share some ways that have helped us stay creative.We also have a few announcements. Due to the current situation with the pandemic and having to isolate, we are unfortunately not able to meet and record video episodes, so for the time being we will do it in audio-only format. We are recording in our own homes with separate setups, so the sound quality is going to be a bit different for the two of us, since we are talking to each other on video call. Please bear with us as we make it work given the current situation. We will return to filming video episodes as soon as we can meet in person again. Now to the good news! We’re now on Patreon ! If you don’t know what Patreon is, it is a platform where you can support your favorite creatives with a monthly pledge that you can change or delete any time. Our Patreon page will work as a tip jar, with one tier that is 2 euros a month (or more if you wish). The money will go towards paying for our podcast hosting fees.
