We talk about his motivations behind the Green Monk story and his story writing process as well as his background growing up Mormon and how that effected his story writing. We also talk about the symbolism series, why it's important to tell stories, and how that relates to Christianity.

Are you in meetings in person or on screen where you’re taking notes in front of folks? When we're listening to learn from a conversation even one other person or to work in a group we use a similar style of note-taking for both situations. It’s about understanding what we're hearing and can reflect back to the people in the room. Honor the obvious and also discovering the subtle ideas that can get overlooked.

Cali Claptrap: Integral Conversations

Brandon is the creator of the comic book Green Monk and host of the podcast How to be an Artist. I'm a firm believer that our greatest art is the life we live. Ken Wilber shared on the audiobook Kosmic Consciousness that Integral art is all art that comes from the Integral structure. This is an amazingly open and liberating statement if true. It also redirects the grand question of "What is art?" to "What is the integral structure?". I am very drawn to the art world and especially comics. Like Brandon, I shared a desire to get into animation and comics in middle school. I eventually decided to go a different path but my love of comics and art are still very much a part of my life. The archetypal comic book is a magical place in my dreams. It is often a hub for special characters and messages. So when I get to meet a real life artist/writer with a spiritual bent-sign me up! Brandon is admirable in his transparency and openness to the experinces in his life. On his podcast and Medium page he shares his peaks and valleys he's had on his spiritual journey and what drives him as an artist. I found him serendipitously on Twitter after searching for Daniel Ingram of Practical Dharma, who was recently a guest on Brandon's podcast. Brandon's handle was a recommended follow. Brandon and I share similar passions: spirituality, art and community. We discuss examples of present day art that integrates art and spirituality, future projects and existential questions. I am in awe of Brandon's talent and I look forward to see how he continues to incorporate spiritual insights into his work. You can find Brandon on Twitter @brandondayton YouTube @https://www.youtube.com/c/BrandonDayton/featured and his podcast How to be an Artist @ https://open.spotify.com/show/4ZgamPKDf8s8rNlZ6ewnlX?si=nzwisqv6QP-LO-7UHwXNew

It can also present interesting creative problems to solve. But what about the tools or platform you choose? Don’t they introduce constraints as well? Can these constraints enhance the work, or are they a roadblock we have to work around? When do we abandon the tool or platform altogether?

How does the relationship with your readers change when you make your webcomic an explicitly part-time job? Over the last decade there has been an implicit contract made between a webcomics author and their intended audience. "I update regularly, and in exchange you support me through encouragement, word-of-mouth advertising, and purchasing merchandise." Because this contract is implicit, however, the commitment between author and audience is a bit fuzzy. If the cartoonist feels that the project has run its course or that it's not reaching the intended goals, they can retire the project without much fuss. After all, everyone was getting it for free. As more cartoonists use Patreon or Tapastic's Support Program to subsidize their webcomic, the contract becomes a lot more explicit. Introducing support tiers and rewards creates an even more clear commitment to an audience. You're saying "This webcomic is now my part-time job, and (maybe) I hope to make it a full-time job." But a traditional part-time job, even one you take on just to make some extra income, usually promises a well-defined amount of payment. With services like Patreon and Tapastic you're making the commitment to show up for the job, but there is no promise of any specific amount of pay. So to whom are you committing? Are you committed to reaching a certain monetary goal first and foremost? Or are you committing to servicing an audience with the hope of reaching a goal? And if you fail to reach that goal, how do you navigate the friction of quitting when you've already made an explicit promise to that audience? Join us for a Lean Into Art Cast with guest +Brandon Dayton. Brandon has been navigating these concerns with his new Green Monk webcomic, and together we'll explore how things change when you make your webcomics intentions a lot more clear to the public. Rob has the week off, but he'll be back next episode! Note about this episode - normally we have a video to share with the audio version of the podcast - I'm sorry we don't have that this time.
