How To Stay Focused On Our Own Creative Journey 41:34

41:34

This week on the show, Sarah, Doreen and Ping are all here to talk about how to stay focused on your own artistic journey. But what is your creative journey? Can you really define it? How do you know when you’re on it or when you’ve fallen off it? And, is there ever an end point? The ladies go into depth on the most personal aspect of being an artist. KEY TAKEAWAYS The ladies start the discussion by laying out the importance of knowing what your journey is and what your journey isn’t. Doreen talks about the importance of being self aware on your journey and stopping along the way to take stock of how far you’ve come. Sarah sees her journey not as a single straight line, but as many interconnecting lines that have the potential to take her in directions she never imagined. The ladies talk about the importance of not comparing your journey to that of others, especially those you consider to be more successful. BEST MOMENTS “Is there an end to your creative journey or is it an ongoing evolution, just like life.” “Creative satisfaction comes from a combination of doing the things that make you happy and speaking your truth.” “Someone might give off the perception of being successful, but you will never know what they are really experiencing, so don’t waste your time comparing yourself to them.” ABOUT THE PODCAST A serious and fun podcast for female creatives hosted by Ping, Dorien and Sarah, three happy artists from Amsterdam.

This week Ping, Doreen and Sarah are all here and they’re discussing how to overcome creative fears. All artists have fears, from those just starting out to the most accomplished in their fields. The ladies talk about some common fears, some fears specific to them, tips and tricks on how to overcome them and, are you really an artist if you don’t have fears. KEY TAKEAWAYS The ladies discuss what their fears are such as the fear of not being good enough and the fear of being compared to others. Sometimes our fears aren’t rational. Try to remove yourself and look objectively at the problem. Sarah talks about how your art is also a job and not every rejection is personal. Ping talks about embracing fear and how, with a recent commission, she overcame her fear by just ‘taking a leap’ into the unknown. The ladies talk about one of the most common fears..the fear of a blank page, and share tips on how they overcome it. BEST MOMENTS “Try not to give your fears too much power as they can control you, use them as an incentive to improve.” “Most of the time our fears can be defeated by simply just starting.” “The more you do it, the easier it will become.” “Instead of being afraid of the task ahead, be grateful for the opportunity.” ABOUT THE PODCAST A serious and fun podcast for female creatives hosted by Ping, Dorien and Sarah, three happy artists from Amsterdam.

Finally, the gang are all back together. Dorien, Ping and Sarah are all here this week and they’re talking about creative breakthroughs. They share their thoughts on what a creative breakthrough actually is, tips and tricks you can try to achieve one, why they are important and, interestingly, how sometimes they are not what they appear to be. KEY TAKEAWAYS The ladies talk about what a creative breakthrough actually is and how they can sometimes appear small but actually be big. Do breakthroughs find you or do you find them? And are you more likely to get one if you’re not actively looking for it? The ladies discuss. Ping discusses how she has found that if she simplifies her work then she is more likely to achieve a breakthrough. The ladies discuss the idea that having a dramatic change in working practices can often lead to a breakthrough. BEST MOMENTS “A breakthrough isn’t just winning an award or getting a big advance, sometimes it can just be a small discovery you make on your own.” “If you force yourself to find a breakthrough, you might end up losing sight of why you were looking for one in the first place.” “If you do what you’ve always done, you’ll get what you’ve always got. Don’t be afraid to change directions, you never know where it will lead you.” ABOUT THE PODCAST A serious and fun podcast for female creatives hosted by Ping, Dorien and Sarah, three happy artists from Amsterdam.

Children's Book Illustration Career : A Special Interview With Anna Wilson 28:22

2 years yang lalu28:22

28:22

This week Ping is hosting all by herself, but she is joined by special guest Anna Wilson. Anna is a successful children’s book artist and has created works for Bloomsbury, Hachette and the BBC among many others. Anna shares her journey from a career in academia to becoming a successful artist and shares all the lessons she has learned along the way to help you take the next step in your artistic journey. KEY TAKEAWAYS Anna talks about her journey to becoming an artist. Despite a career in academia, Anna continued to draw as a hobby. When her husband changed jobs this presented Anna with the opportunity to take a look at her career and she took the leap to becoming an artist. When Anna decided to pursue art as a career she had to retrain from scratch. She talks about the steps she took and some of the courses and skills she learned that helped her along the way. Anna’s first big step towards success came when she decided to let go of some of the bad habits she had picked up as a hobbyist. Once she embraced change, she received her first commission which led to her finding an agent. Anna talks about how much she has learned from drawing books as opposed to single pieces of art and shares her knowledge on how you can create better images that will flow as a story. BEST MOMENTS “Life is too short to not do the thing you really want to do.” “You can’t take success for granted. You have to continue to grow and work hard.” “Try not to criticise yourself as much. Your work is a journey, you're not going to be an expert on day one.” ABOUT THE GUEST https://www.annawilsonink.com/ Anna has spent my life finding magic, often in unexpected places. Someone said to her that she knows how to make even a burning rubbish tip on a riverside look interesting and somehow beautiful. Anna says when she picks up a pen or paint or bottle of ink or an ipad and starts to add lines and colours and create something where there was nothing, she feels like she has come home. She is inspired by people and their stories and she loves to travel. She has been lucky enough to live in Kenya, Mongolia, China, Nepal, Germany, Tasmania, Australia and have travelled through more than 40 countries. Her clients include: Bloomsbury, Hachette, BBC, Cameron Kids Books, BirdLife Australia, Heritage Expeditions, Tribe, Woollykins, Australia Remade, Australian BirdLife Magazine.

39:23

On this week’s show Ping is all by herself, but to make up for the absence of Doreen and Sarah, she is joined by renowned artistic agent Kajsa Blomberg. In a wide ranging interview, Kajsa talks about her journey from being a law graduate to a highly established agent and shares valuable tips and insights for artists that are seeking representation and what they can expect once they have it. KEY TAKEAWAYS Kajsa graduated from law school, specialising in intellectual property law. After working for Universal music she found herself drawn to working with artists. From there she took the leap to becoming an agent. Ping and Kajsa discuss the importance of working to your strengths and, in a relationship between an agent and a client, how each must have an understating of the other's role. Kajsa talks about her process of selecting the artists she wants to represent, and gives details of her ‘emotional checklist.’ Kajsa shares her top tips for artists that are looking for representation, including, surprisingly, asking yourself if you really need an agent. BEST MOMENTS “The artist can only see the product, the agent helps them see the opportunities.” “Having an agent isn’t a golden ticket to making money, you still have to be an ambassador of your own work.” “The most important question for an artist to ask themselves is ‘What do I want?’, the answer to this question will help guide all your decisions.” ABOUT THE PODCAST A serious and fun podcast for female creatives hosted by Ping, Dorien and Sarah, three happy artists from Amsterdam.

KEY TAKEAWAYS Ping talks about how, when she recovered from breast cancer two years ago, she decided to make a positive change in her life and follow her dreams, not knowing where she would end up or if it would even work, but she knew she was determined. The ladies talk about motivation and discipline and the importance of keeping going on a project even if the fun aspect of it disappears. Sarah talks about how over the last two years, she moved from being dedicated to only creating children's books to expanding into all kinds of illustration and the lessons she has learned from having a more open mind about her career. Unlike the other two ladies, Dorien admits to not making firm plans and her preference to ‘go with the flow’ and expands how this affects her creative flow. BEST MOMENTS “One of the most important things to have is persistence. Don’t take no for an answer.” “Intrinsic motivation brings you discipline.” “Regardless of how much or little we plan, things always seem to come together for the best.” ABOUT THE PODCAST A serious and fun podcast for female creatives hosted by Ping, Dorien and Sarah, three happy artists from Amsterdam.

Believing in Yourself 22:31

22:31

This week Ping is at a book fair. But don’t worry, Doreen is back at the mic and the ladies are looking inward. They discuss the topic of believing in yourself and how every artist should find their way to doing it as it will, ultimately, help you grow and produce your best work. KEY TAKEAWAYS What is the emotional value of art? The ladies discuss this idea and how they think it shapes the way artists approach their work. They talk about how, as children, we only see emotional value in the art we make for others, but at what stage do we lose this idea and can we get it back? If you don’t put your work out there, you’ll never know what reaction it will get. Are some artists reluctant to share their work for fear of rejection or because they think no one will be interested in it? Doreen and Sarah talk about why you should always try as you’ll never know if you don’t. What is the difference between your inner critic and being critical of our work? How do you separate the two and how, once you understand this separation, can it lead to you flourishing as an artist? The ladies discuss the importance of making something from your heart. Don’t be tempted to follow trends or fashion as this will only lead you to compare yourself to others. It takes courage to be true to yourself, but the rewards far outweigh those that you may receive from being ‘popular’. BEST MOMENTS “Every artist should believe that what they are making will be interesting to someone, otherwise why are you making it?” “Just do it, and have fun doing it. That’s the most important thing.” “You never know what might resonate with someone.” ABOUT THE PODCAST A serious and fun podcast for female creatives hosted by Ping, Dorien and Sarah, three happy artists from Amsterdam.

The Importance of Working on Your Own Project With Emmi Smid 37:38

2 years yang lalu37:38

37:38

This week Ping and Sarah are joined by children's illustrator Emmi Smid. In an in depth interview Emmi shares her journey to becoming a children illustrator and storyteller, some of her success and failures along the way, her working practices and why it is important, to her, to share her stories with the world. KEY TAKEAWAYS The guest, Emmi, discusses her journey as an artist. How she started working in fine art, then made the realisation that most of her paintings were narrative based. One day, looking at her bookshelf, she had a moment of inspiration, realising that she had always been fascinated with childrens books, from there, she took the leap to being a children's illustrator. The ladies discuss the difference between art being a hobby and a career. Do you lose the hobby aspect of it once you start to be paid for your work? Do friends and family take you seriously if you choose a career as an artist? And, what do the ladies define success as? What are your work habits and how do they compare to others? The ladies share their different approaches on everything from sketch books to full projects and discuss the need for each individual to understand what their unique process is and why they shouldn’t compare it to others. Emmi talks about the importance of working on personal projects. She talks about how it helps her figure out what is important to her and how, through sharing her stories and perspective on the world, she may be able to help others see things from a different viewpoint or realise that they’re not alone. BEST MOMENTS “You have to believe in yourself and follow the path that you are on.” “Society has conditioned us to think we are only successful if we make money. But this is not true, if you are doing the thing you love, then you are already successful.” “You’ve got to accept who you are, but at the same time, continue to push yourself.” EPISODE RESOURCES Instagram: @studio.emmi.smid ABOUT THE PODCAST A serious and fun podcast for female creatives hosted by Ping, Dorien and Sarah, three happy artists from Amsterdam.

How Do You Plan Studio Time 35:37

This week, Dorien is busy on a big project, but Sarah and Ping step up and talk you through planning studio time. The ladies pack their years of experience into a fun filled thirty minute episode and share some valuable tips and tricks that guarantee to make you more productive in your studio. KEY TAKEAWAYS The ladies discuss how spending time in your studio to make it tidy and organised is as important as the time you spend in there to work. But remember to personalise your space, decorate not just your walls, but your pen holders, workbooks and bookshelves…remember you are an artist! Remember that lighting your studio is important. You have to find a balance between a lighting set up that makes you comfortable and creates a productive working environment, but also one that will show a true representation of the colours you are working with. If you want to improve your productivity, why not make a diary of what you do in your studio over a week. After that week is over, review your diary and find out what you actually spent your time on. You might be surprised! The ladies discuss the idea of splitting your studio time into sections. Such as, Play Time’ - Where you create art for fun, or ‘Business Time’ - where you concentrate on generating revenue, or ‘Contribute TIme’ - where you try to help your colleagues, your community, a charity or some other third party. BEST MOMENTS “My studio is a stage and I am a performer, so I need my stage to be organised.” “Sometimes allow yourself to be unproductive, to daydream, to create distance from your work.” “Every morning, prioritise your tasks from most urgent to least urgent.” “Know your “Why”, and then everything you do will be easier.” ABOUT THE PODCAST A serious and fun podcast for female creatives hosted by Ping, Dorien and Sarah, three happy artists from Amsterdam.
