Hosted by Julia Skott and Tiffany Arment.
Tiff Arment and Julia Skott talk about art and making. They won’t teach you how to turn your creativity into a business. Or how to do anything, really. They just want to talk about doing stuff.

#15: Inktober
October 3rd, 2018 · 33 minutes
We answer a couple of listener questions, and then chew on Inktober, a 30-day inking challenge. What’s the deal, how do we feel about it, what are our strategies?
#14: Doodles, Self-Worth, and Inspiration, Question Mark?
September 19th, 2018 · 36 minutes
It can be hard to separate your sense of self worth from your output – either quantity or quality. But that’s probably not the best way to handle your identity as a creative person. (Or is it? Julia briefly plays devil’s advocate.) Also: Spaghetti-Os.
#13: Sew, Sew, Sew Your Coat
September 5th, 2018 · 39 minutes
Dedicated follower of fashion or not – sewing is an amazing maker-skill to have, and we talk a little bit about why.
#12: Paint With All the Colors of, You Know
August 22nd, 2018 · 48 minutes
There is no reason to stop asking people what their favorite color is, right? It turns out Tiff and Julia have the same one – but we also talk a lot about all sorts of colors and how color theory, -psychology, -philosophy, and -blindness might work.
#11: Posers and Impostors – Looking the Part
August 8th, 2018 · 37 minutes
Can an artist wear khakis? Do tattoos make someone cool and creative? What stereotypes do we have working for or against us, as creative and makey people?
#10: Ready, Set – Challenges
July 25th, 2018 · 42 minutes
Challenging yourself is good. We think. But what about specific challenges, like doing something every day for a month, or making a hundred of something? Also: Naked dude report.
#9: Content and Intent – Being Political
July 11th, 2018 · 53 minutes
Is art political – and does it have to be? Do you have a responsibility to make with issues and values in mind? Is crafting as post-apocalyptic life skill a political statement? Either way, we have a lot of feelings on the subject, and on current events.
#8: Figuring out our Feelings
June 27th, 2018 · 45 minutes
Touchy feely touching base time. How are we feeling about our creating? Is talking about it making it better or worse? And is it OK to do a thing just because it’s fun?
#7: Too Cool for School
June 13th, 2018 · 36 minutes
Do you have to have proper training and a degree to be an artist? To do art? To call yourself an artist? We ponder credibility and qualifications.
#6: ”Give Me Worth” – selling your art
May 30th, 2018 · 49 minutes
When do you decide you feel good enough about your art to start charging for it? And how do you put a value on it? We discuss the commercial side of creating. We also check in on our homework progress, and sing the praises of professional framing.
