What if every artist experienced the same fears and hurdles, regardless of their success? Join us as we unpack the timeless wisdom from David Bayles and Ted Orland's "Art and Fear: Observations on the Perils and Rewards of Art Making." Discover how the intense stress of a blank canvas and reflect on the profound insights of Gene Fowler and Hippocrates. We'll explore the poignant reality that envisioned works often feel more real than their completed counterparts, and how this universal uncertainty shapes the artistic journey.Throughout our conversation, we emphasize the power of embracing ordinary struggles and unresolved questions in the creative process. You'll learn how finding fulfillment in the journey itself, rather than fixating on immediate solutions, can transform your approach to art-making. We debunk the myth of the "extraordinary artist," highlighting how recognizing our shared experiences can foster hope and confidence. Through personal anecdotes and practical strategies, we illustrate how acknowledging common artistic challenges can sustain your creative efforts and prevent self-doubt from taking root.In this episode, we also tackle the pervasive doubts and fears that plague all artists, emphasizing the importance of discipline and consistent work. You'll hear how every studio session is an opportunity to explore uncharted territories and how effort can transform talent into skill. Reflect on the delicate balance between aspiration and acceptance, and how maintaining regular creative routines can prevent the mental stagnation that leads to quitting. Tune in for a rich discussion that offers invaluable insights into navigating the uncertainties of the artistic journey and reigniting your creative spark.Our friend Bode Robinson's brand (Nathans Hat in the episode) https://saintbode.com/Send us a message - we would love to hear from you!Make sure to follow us on Instagram here:@justmakeartpodcast @tynathanclark @nathanterborg

It's the final week of Season 40 and everyone has Senioritis, including your hosts!

We welcome back Ashly Hutchens, my good friend, and my personal tattoo artist. We actually did this in her shop and I got a tattoo while doing the interview. You will hear the hum of the gun and the music she plays. It was a great time and yes I will include a picture of the final work.    Welcome back friends, Welcome to KDOI Podcasting Kimo’s Den of Iniquity where we create more than we consume, I am your head instigator Timothy Kimo Brien. This episode will focus on craft. Out of all the subjects this season, this is probably the one that is the most tangible. We can put our hands or witness craft in action. Maybe that is why it is the easiest to talk about, perhaps it is the hardest. Our friends over at Merriam Webster define craft as skill in planning or executing; dexterity, occupation or trade requiring manual dexterity or artistic skill, skill in deceiving to gain an end, members of a trade union, to make or produce with care, skill or ingenuity. Our two quotes come from Gene Fowler “Writing Is easy. You only need to stare at a blank piece of paper until drops of blood form on your forehead,” and Stephen King “Amateurs sit and wait for inspiration, the rest of us just get up and go to work.” Gene Fowler was a writer with the Denver Post and a syndication manager of King Features. His later work included over a dozen screenplays, mostly written in the ’30s and a number of books including biographies and memoirs. Stephen King author of horror, supernatural fiction, suspense, science fiction, and fantasy. His books have sold more than 350 million copies, many of which have been adapted into feature films, miniseries, television series, and comic books. King has published 58 novels, including seven under the pen name Richard Bachman, and six non-fiction books. He has written around 200 short stories, most of which have been published in book collections.   Why craft? This is the most concrete topic for me yet it is also a bit nebulous. Some people can fake craft with shortcuts or YouTube videos. Craft takes study, craft takes doing craft takes failure and picking yourself up and pushing forward. Craft takes vision and research about where you want to go and what you want to incorporate in your work. The two quotes I chose really speak to me about the hard work that comes with being artistic. This stuff doesn’t just drop in our lap, we aren’t waiting for some invisible friend in the sky to do it for us or give us a clue about how to complete something or overcome a barrier, craft is the action of getting up when you are sick and blowing chunks, getting into your space and making something happen when it is the last thing in the world you want to do. Craft separates the wheat from the chaff, it isn’t meant to handcuff us, it is to help us push through whatever blockages we may have that prevent us from being our natural creative selves. Let’s get this conversation going.     If you want to be part of the conversation we have 11 topics and we send you the definition and the quotes, feel free to jump off there or go your own way.    Email us at kdoipodcasting@gmail.com Twitter and IG @KDOIPodcasting We are looking at creating more than we consume with you.

When you're trying to transfer a thought or a feeling to someone else, the impact of your communication will be determined by the following equation:How big is the thought in your mind, or the feeling in your heart? How quickly can you transfer it? The Law of Impact (or force,) documented by Isaac Newton, applies to communication as much as it does to physics: impact is the product of mass (size and weight) times acceleration (speed.) How massive is your thought or feeling? How quickly can you transfer it? The works of illustrators like Norman Rockwell and painters like Andrew Wyeth are often criticized as being “too obvious.” But the visual communications these artists produced were among the 20th century's most recognizable works of art. Rockwell and Wyeth became famous because they were able to communicate big ideas clearly and quickly. Today I'm going to help you do the same with words. Have you ever noticed how short quotes pack a greater punch than long ones? The fewer the words, the greater the impact. Shorter hits harder. Boring people take too long to say too little. Interesting people know what to leave out. The best way to get good at this is to fill your ears with it. As you read, so will you write. If you read the writings of long-winded people, you will learn to wrap a great many words around a small idea. But if every day you read big ideas condensed into few words, you will soon be able to speak and write with greater impact.“The best way to become a successful writer is to read good writing, remember it, and then forget where you remember it from.” – Gene Fowler (1890 – 1960)Ray Bard published my Wizard of Ads trilogy 19 years ago. We made the New York Times bestsellers list together. The second book in that series became the Wall Street Journal's #1 business book in America. More than 50 percent of the books published by Bard Press have become New York Times and Wall Street Journal bestsellers. No other publisher has achieved even 10 percent. As a young man, Ray sold books from door to door and he's been collecting quotes about selling for more than 40 years. His jury of more than 1,000 quote judges spent an entire year evaluating and voting on the best-of-the-best from Ray's collection. Today, August 7, 2017, is the day these quotes are finally available. Maximum thought in minimum words. Fired-up! Selling. https://smile.amazon.com/Fired-Up-Selling-TM-Energize/dp/1885167830/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1501509292&sr=8-1&keywords=fired+up+selling+quotes (This small book) is a gorgeous work of art. It looks like embossed leather but Ray swears no animals were harmed. Three silk placeholder ribbons. Full-color on every page. The distilled essence of a lifetime collection. Think of it as a textbook that teaches you how to say big things quickly. Roy H. Williams

Resiliency Rewarded   Reintroducing Shawn Smith and Gene Fowler It has been said that nothing worth doing is easy. Resiliency is an important component of an entrepreneur's toolkit but it also one of the hardest to maintain. Two former guests that have been able to show resilience in the face of adversity are back with us today to show where their patience and hard work have got them. Shawn Smith, the founder of Don't Dis My Ability and Gene Fowler, the founder of Loogaroo Animation and Games struck up quite the friendship not so long ago that ended up helping both of them. For Shawn, Gene's mentorship and guidance helped him through the start up of his business. In turn, Shawn set up coaching at Gene's business. Both men found difficulties navigating their businesses, but have found greener pastures due to their resilience. Shawn has recently been nominated for the Start Up Canada Resilient Entrepreneur Award being presented later this month. While Gene has rebuilt his company from bankruptcy to become the Miramichi Entrepreneur of the Year. Check out this episode of the Boiling Point to see where resiliency and mentorship could take you or someone else you know.   In this episode We reconnect with Gene and Shawn. We catch Gene as he celebrates his 40th Shawn tells us what Gene's mentorship meant to him and how finding someone who believes in you is so crucial Shawn tells us of the great advancements his company has made since he was last on the Boiling Point including being nominated for a prestigious award. Greg remembers a time when he was talking with Gene and Gene mentioned that if Greg was in need of assistance to “send out the bat light” and he'd be there. Gene believes in mentoring because he wishes he had the same opportunity when he first started out. Greg notes that it takes time in order to be a mentor but without mentorship many wouldn't be in the position they are in today. We learn why Shawn ended up thanking those who didn't believe in him. We congratulate Gene on his entrepreneur of the year award. Gene tells us why he didn't bail out of bankruptcy and that he was going to pivot and succeed whether others believed in him or not. Gene tells us to stop listening to detractors or focusing in on your competition, but instead to be good at what you do and don't look up.    Links - Gene's previous Boiling Point interview - Shawn's previous Boiling Point interview - Loogaroo's website - Don't Dis My Ability's website - Don't Dis My Ability on Facebook - Don't Dis My Ability on Twitter - Loogaroo on Facebook - Loogaroo on Twitter     Learn more about your ad choices.

Understanding DisAbilities   Introducing Shawn Smith Shawn Smith grew up believing he was a dumb kid. Though he tried in school, he didn't receive the marks he had hoped for. He failed grade eight and made 32 attempts to complete his 18 credits for high school. It wasn't until the age of 30, that he was finally diagnosed with ADHD and was given a prescription for Ritalin that he realized that his difficulties were not from a lack of motivation but a lapse in communication. Shawn has since received his masters' degree in education and counseling and fights the stigma of disability with his organization, Don't Dis My Ability. He now helps families, individuals, and companies that deal with the issue of disability with a message that it isn't motivation that is lacking but communication. He offers tools to those that are currently struggling with disability, which can turn a problem into an opportunity with an asset-based mentality. Tune into this week's episode of the Boiling Point to hear how we are all brilliant in our own way.   In this episode We recognize the importance of National Inclusion Month. Shawn tells his story of growing up thinking something was wrong with him and how it all changed with his diagnosis at age 30. Shawn explains what he means by saying it isn't what is wrong with him but what is right. He explains why often there is not an absence of motivation but proper communication. We hear a tale of an employee that Shawn worked with in New Brunswick, and the amazing turn-around that happened. Shawn explains a few of the tools he uses to produce results. He explains what he means by an asset-based mentality. Shawn also tells us about apps and animations being developed along side previous BP guest Gene Fowler. We also hear about a camp for children with learning disabilities that Shawn is currently working on. Dave is moved by Shawnn's ability to share a story in order to help people understand an issue. Greg believes that employers need to continue to educate themselves and always strive for empathy with their employees and that everyone is brilliant in their own way.   Links - Don't Dis My Ability - Gene Fowler's BP Episode     Learn more about your ad choices.

Introducing Gene Fowler Gene Fowler is a man who knows the ups and downs of running a creative business in an untraditional location.  He is the owner and creative director at the animation studio Loogaroo, which is a boutique animation agency focusing on commercial animations and tablet gaming.  Gene is also the creative director at the publicly traded e learning company Blue Drop.  He works both jobs out of his hometown studio in Miramichi, New Brunswick-- an area mostly known for fishing and the pulp and paper industry. Loogaroo wasn't Gene's first kick at the “animation” can.  Back in 2000, he and a few fellow animators were laid off at another animation studio and decided that they would try to take the reigns of their own gig.  They formed Fat Kat Animation Studios in Halifax, Nova Scotia and made some animations and put them online.  Soon enough, they got noticed and started creating flash animated training videos.  Three years later, Fat Kat had 50 employees and was making animations for Fortune 500 companies like Nike and Boeing.  Gene ended up giving away the company to its CEO for next to nothing and the company went out of business shortly later.  Gene went back home to Miramichi and decided to try again, but this time focusing less on e learning and more on entertainment.  The idea of a successful animation studio in the middle of the woods of New Brunswick was originally scoffed at, but a few years later, Fat Kat was employing around 120 people, had $175,000 in expenses, and was billing around $10 million a year. The success lasted until 2008, when people's attention shifted from televisions to iPhones.  Big companies started to spend less on traditional advertising, and broadcasters stopped buying content at the same volume.  On top of this, New Brunswick changed their tax credit for film and television producers, which made it much more difficult to compete.  Fat Kat had gotten too big, too quick and the company fell into ruin within a year.  Clients got what they were owed, employees were paid but the shop was closed.  Not to be defeated by failure, Gene picked himself up, walked across town, and opened back up again under the heading Loogaroo.  The new studio is a much smaller, but tighter business.   There are fewer people and projects, but Gene is much happier.    In this episode Gene tells us the stories of his past success, failure, and then success again.  He explains how telling this story can be cathartic and helps him move on.  Greg relates with his own business failure, and explains how it really isn't a fail if you try again or can take something from the experience.  Gene also tells us about his enlightening experiences in Jamaica and how it has influenced his attitude of living everyday like he is already retired.  Dave is impressed by Gene's attitude toward the past and that he doesn't shy away from it.  Dave also coaxes Greg to reveal a great achievement.
