Send us a textYou know Juana Martinez-Neal as the recipient of the 2019 Caldecott Honor for Alma and How She Got Her Name, her debut picture book as author-illustrator. You might also know her as the New York Times bestselling illustrator recipient of the 2020 Robert F. Sibert Medal for Fry Bread: A Native American Story and the 2018 Pura Belpré Medal for Illustration for La Princesa and the Pea. I first fell in love with La Princesa and the Pea as a spark for early childhood and elementary STEM/STEAM challenges, then quickly collected some of Juana's other works, such as Swashby and the Sea and Zonia's Rainforest as inspirations for more STEM/STEAM goodness in the classroom. In addition to chatting about her two newest books, I am also so excited to share that Juana and I are going to be teammates on a Children's Book Creators for Conservation Wild Tomorrow expedition to South Africa this fall.Join us as we delve into the vibrant world of Juana Martinez-Neal, an award-winning author/illustrator whose passion for art and the environment takes us on a journey from the diverse landscapes of Peru to the dust plumes of the Sahara.  Juana discusses her newest books, Paka Paka con la Papa, a biography of potato hunter Alberto Salas, and A Gift of Dust, highlighting the environmental impact of Sahara dust plumes. She shares her commitment to aligning creative endeavors with personal values and the inspiration behind her collaborations, including a partnership with friend and fellow illustrator Molly Idle on Julie Fogliano's I Don't Care. Juana's stories of personal growth, travel dreams, and artistic expressions offer listeners a rich tapestry of insights and inspirations.Chapter Highlights:01:47: Paka Paka con la Papa04:38: A Gift of Dust05:59: The natural world as connecting thread through Juana's artistry07:58: How Juana approaches her creative process11:20: The joys and surprises of the research process with examples from Paka Paka con la Papa and Fry Bread: A Native American Story15:24: Sponsor Ad17:24: Collaborating on  I Don't Care with Molly Idle21:41: Adventures await in South Africa with Children's Book Creators for Conservation and Wild Tomorrow 23:55: Upcoming projects26:10 The enduring appeal of Alma, star of Alma and How She Got Her Name 30:49: Let's talk about HOPELinks:Follow Juana Martinez-Neal on Instagram, Facebook, and LinkedInJuana Martinez-Neal's websiteExplore her latest books:  Paka Paka con la Papa and A Gift of DustLearn more about Children's Book Creators for Conservation and the Wild Tomorrow trip to South Africa Support the showSubscribe & Follow: Stay updated with our latest episodes and follow us on Instagram, LinkedIn, and the Adventures in Learning website.

In this episode, I share my thoughts on the difficult but exciting journey of rewilding my illustration process—bringing back more analog, handmade elements into the way I work. While the dream of working more physically is alive and well, the reality is a lot more complicated. In this monologue episode, I unpack six core problems I've identified as I try to rewild in real life, and I talk through some solutions, mindset shifts, and small actions I'm taking to move forward.If you've ever felt stuck between your current style and the one you wish you had, or if you're navigating your own transition as a creative, this episode might hit home.I also share some personal updates, what's coming up with my classes and book, and an embarrassing story from my recent trip to Paris that involves vintage books, broken French, and a stranger's purse.IN THIS EPISODEWhy rewilding your process is easier said than doneSix problems I've identified on my rewilding journeyHow I'm coaching myself through a style evolutionWhy confidence in your style is often externalPLUS – Embarrassing Story of the Episode: A Canadian in ParisSHOW LINKSDrawing is Important (Skillshare Class) – https://skl.sh/3TuA0NSThe Style Class on Skillshare – https://skl.sh/4cFnIejDrawing Is Important (Sketchbook IG) – http://www.instagram.com/drawingisimportantMy Website – http://www.tomfroese.comHOW TO SUPPORTShare this episode with your friends!Like / Subscribe / Follow / Comment / ReviewBecome a $3 Supporter or $8 Drawing Buddy on Patreon – http://patreon.com/tomfroeseBECOME A DRAWING BUDDYLive, monthly Draw With Me meetupsAll past DWMs available as replaysExclusive access to the DWM Discord Serverhttp://patreon.com/tomfroeseFIND ME ELSEWHEREWork and Classes – http://www.tomfroese.comInstagram – http://www.instagram.com/mrtomfroeseDaily Drawings – http://www.instagram.com/drawingisimportantCREDITSMusic and Cues by Mark Allan Falk – http://www.linktr.ee/semiathletic

THE PERSON BEHIND THE PERSON BEHIND THE CAMERA—Close your eyes and picture a classic Rolling Stone cover. Dozens probably come to mind—portraits of music legends, movie stars, political icons, cultural rebels. Bruce. Bono. Madonna. These images are etched into our cultural memory as more than mere photographs. They're statements.But when we remember the cover, and maybe even the photographer, how often do we remember the person who made it all happen? The one who dreamed up the concept, found the right photographer, navigated the logistics, managed the personalities, and ultimately brought that unforgettable image to life?It's the photo editor. But who thinks about the photo editor?Photo editors are essential—especially at a magazine like Rolling Stone—for decades its covers defined our visual culture. Behind every iconic cover is a photo director making hundreds of invisible decisions under pressure and facing tight budgets, unpredictable talent, and shifting editorial winds. They're the ones keeping shoots on track when the talent shows up two hours late. They're the ones coaxing photographers into greatness—the person behind the people behind the camera. Photo editors are expected to be tastemakers, producers, diplomats, caterers, and art directors all at once. Although their work is everywhere, their names are not. They're under-thanked. Underseen. Too often unknown. This is the paradox of their work: When a shoot goes well, it looks effortless. When it doesn't, they take the bullet.Laurie Kratochvil, Rolling Stone's visionary director of photography from 1982 to 1994, knows this all too well.—This episode is made possible by our friends at Commercial Type and Freeport Press.

IT'S LE MONDE'S WORLD AND WE'RE JUST LIVING IN IT—Name a major newspaper—anywhere in the world—and you will find a magazine. Or two. Or three. The New York Times is the obvious example of this. The Times of London is another obvious example. And now more and more legacy newspapers from around the world are publishing their magazines in English.La Repubblica in Italy publishes D. And now France's venerable Le Monde is out with M International, a glossy biannual that distills their weekly M magazine for an English-speaking audience.Long called “the newspaper of reference” in France, Le Monde occupies an oversized space in the French media. When the Olympics returned to Paris, Le Monde decided to create an english version of their newspaper for the web. Then they decided to create the magazine—in English—something that not just added an extra piece of land to their media ecosystem, but one that pleased their advertisers as well. We spoke to Louis Dreyfus, the CEO of Le Monde about the business case for English, how the magazines attract new readers to the newspaper, the power of print, and how AI is one of the reasons Le Monde can create in english in the first place.—This episode is made possible by our friends at Freeport Press.

In this episode, I share my conversation with Roberts Rurans, a Latvia-based illustrator who creates all his work using traditional materials — literally painting his images with acrylics. When Roberts talks about his brushes, he means the actual ones lying on his table, not virtual tools in a menu! His process is physical, full of quirks, accidents, and unexpected moments — and yet, his work feels fresh and totally at home in today's digital illustration landscape.Roberts has worked with clients like Hermès, Nike, Apple, and Coca-Cola, but his artistic integrity shines through no matter the project. In our conversation, we talk about evolving your style, the tension between old and new work, the difference between art and design, and what it's really like to work 100% analog in a mostly digital world.Toward the end, Roberts answers questions submitted by my Patreon supporters — including whether he secretly uses any digital tools (you'll have to listen to find out). I wrap things up with some community notes and another “Embarrassing Story of the Episode,” featuring me, a trail run, some hikers caught unawares, and a well-placed band-aid.IN THIS EPISODEHow Roberts Rurans keeps his fully analog style feeling freshThoughts on evolving your style without disowning the pastThe line between art and design in illustrationAnalog tools vs. digital tools — which gives you the edge?PLUS - Embarrassing Moment of the Episode: Shirtless in the ForestSHOW LINKSRoberts Rurans on Instagram – https://www.instagram.com/robertsruransRoberts's website – https://www.robertsrurans.comHOW TO SUPPORTShare this episode with your friends!Like/Subscribe/Follow/Comment/ReviewBecome a $3 Supporter or $8 Drawing Buddy on Patreon.

A richly illustrated account of how premodern botanical illustrations document evolving knowledge about plants and the ways they were studied in the past. Botanical Icons: Critical Practices of Illustration in the Premodern Mediterranean (U Chicago Press, 2024) traces the history of botanical illustration in the Mediterranean from antiquity to the early modern period. By examining Greek, Latin, and Arabic botanical inquiry in this early era, Andrew Griebeler shows how diverse and sophisticated modes of plant depiction emerged and ultimately gave rise to practices now recognized as central to modern botanical illustration. The author draws on centuries of remarkable and varied documentation from across Europe and the Mediterranean. Lavishly illustrated, Botanical Icons marshals ample evidence for a dynamic and critical tradition of botanical inquiry and nature observation in the late antique and medieval Mediterranean. The author reveals that many of the critical practices characteristic of modern botanical illustrations began in premodern manuscript culture. Consequently, he demonstrates that the distinctions between pre- and early modern botanical illustration center more on the advent of print, the expansion of collections and documentation, and the narrowing of the range of accepted forms of illustration than on the invention of critical and observational practices exclusive to modernity. Griebeler's emphasis on continuity, intercultural collaboration, and the gradual transformation of Mediterranean traditions of critical botanical illustration persuasively counters previously prevalent narratives of rupture and Western European exceptionalism in the histories of art and science. New Books in Late Antiquity is Presented by Ancient Jew Review. Andrew Griebeler is assistant professor in the depart of Art, Art History and Visual Studies at Duke University. With students and other faculty at Duke, he is also helping to document the legacy of the Duke Herbarium on Instagram (@bluedevil.herbarium) before its closure by the university.

Check out my Free Worldbuilding and Brainstorming Workshop: https://mightyartisan.com/worldbuilding This will help you refine your ideas for personal projects and build the skills needed to be a successful designer and author!—This is The Forty Forth Episode of the Visual Scholar Podcast - With Tim Mcburnie.Artists who build successful careers aren't just talented - they've developed a clear, consistent presence that makes their work instantly recognizable.Below is in Automagically generated summary so you can check out the content and also to help with search functionality!—In this episode, I explore the concept of "presence" - how successful artists develop a recognizable identity that makes their work instantly identifiable and shareable. While artists naturally love experimenting with different styles and mediums, building a successful career often means finding your unique signal and consistently amplifying it over time.Creating presence means developing a clear artistic "character" that people can easily describe to others - "this artist does this type of work and is known for this specific thing." It's about making yourself easily recognizable and understood in a crowded marketplace. This doesn't mean you can't evolve, but the consistency helps people connect with your work more deeply and remember you.I share my own journey of flip-flopping between styles and how my career gained momentum when I finally committed to a consistent direction. Building presence is a long game - it might take 3-7 years to see significant results - but the payoff is that your career starts rolling downhill like a snowball rather than feeling like you're pushing a boulder uphill. Successful presence comes from clarity and strategic repetition, making it easier for people to discover, connect with, and share your work.—00:00 Intro02:11 Welcome03:27 Presence & Impact Framework Recap15:03 Why We Avoid Building A Presence23:31 What Does A Successful Presence Mean?39:03 Play The Long Game: Presence Takes Time52:12 The Analytical Takeaway53:33 The Simple Takeaway53:57 The Practical Takeaway55:17 The Philosophical Takeaway59:12 Out—The Visual Scholar Podcast is designed to help you demystify the world of Art, Productivity, and Creativity.

The author reveals that many of the critical practices characteristic of modern botanical illustrations began in premodern manuscript culture. Consequently, he demonstrates that the distinctions between pre- and early modern botanical illustration center more on the advent of print, the expansion of collections and documentation, and the narrowing of the range of accepted forms of illustration than on the invention of critical and observational practices exclusive to modernity. Griebeler's emphasis on continuity, intercultural collaboration, and the gradual transformation of Mediterranean traditions of critical botanical illustration persuasively counters previously prevalent narratives of rupture and Western European exceptionalism in the histories of art and science.

Le jour de la Hiloula de Rabbi Chim'on bar Yohaï, la Chékhina ainsi que le Tsadik lui-même descendent dans ce monde-ci. Les enfants qui sont "les garants de la Torah", participent aux festivités en l'honneur de Chim'on bar Yohaï, chantent et racontent des histoires à son sujet. Souvent, sur le site de Méron même, on organise la 'Halaké - la coupe de cheveux des garçons à l'âge de 3 ans. Rabbi Chim'on bar Yo'haï était un Tsadik d'une sainteté exceptionnelle - d'où l'engouement pour péleriner sur sa tombe - et chaque Juif a le devoir de se sanctifier à son niveau comme les Cohanim et le Cohen Gadol le sont à leur niveau. En étudiant la Torah, en s'éloignant de l'impureté, en n'abusant pas de ce qui est permis car l'excès en toute chose (y compris dans la nourriture) entrave la sainteté. Illustration avec des passages de la Paracha Emor et celle de Kédochim.

In 1967, witnesses in Nova Scotia, Canada, saw something appear to crash into the waters off of Shag Harbour, then watched it travel out to sea. The case is notable for involving a UFO that appeared to travel underwater, and for prompting a secretive investigation - and subsequent coverup - from the US and Canadian militaries.

“Most peoples' understanding of life insurance comes from someone else's misunderstanding”Bad inputs lead to bad outputs. For many people, bad input stems from Dave Ramsey. In this episode, we provide a thorough analysis of Dave Ramsey's erroneous claims about whole life insurance, addressing fundamental flaws in his understanding of the concept of cash value. The discussion centers on a recent Dave Ramsey Show clip where he dismisses whole life insurance as a poor financial tool, providing blanket financial advice without a single exploratory question about the caller's personal situation.Hans and Brian methodically break down each of Ramsey's claims, offering point-by-point rebuttals backed by real-world illustrations and actuarial principles. They explore how a proper understanding of insurance mechanics reveals a very different picture than what Ramsey presents to his audience.Through detailed policy illustrations and clear explanations, the episode demonstrates why whole life insurance is an invaluable financial tool when properly understood and structured, especially for those interested in multi-generational wealth planning.The Cash Value Misconception: The fundamental understanding of cash value presented by Dave Ramsey is fatally flawed. The episode explains that cash value is not a separate savings account that the insurance company "keeps" upon death, but rather the net present value of your future death benefit.Real Policy Illustrations: An actual policy illustration debunks the claim that "they keep your cash value when you die." The example shows how a policyholder can withdraw significantly more than they contributed while still maintaining a substantial death benefit for their heirs.The Value Beyond Rate of Return: The narrow focus on rate of return when evaluating whole life insurance misses the point. Not only is Dave's internal rate of return analysis demonstrably wrong, but it ignores numerous other returns and valuable contractual rights inherent to the whole life contract.Legacy Planning vs. Self-Focus: A multi-generational wealth approach contrasts with a more limited retirement-focused perspective, highlighting how properly structured life insurance can ensure wealth transfers efficiently across generations rather than forcing each new generation to "start over."▶️Chapters:00:00 - Welcome to Remnant Finance01:00 - Life Updates and Moving Challenges 04:00 - Dave Ramsey's Take on Whole Life Insurance 08:00 - Analyzing Term vs. Whole Life Cost Comparison 12:00 - Debunking Dave's Cash Value Claims 17:00 - Misunderstanding Cash Value as a Separate Account25:00 - Explaining What Cash Value Actually Is 31:00 - Using the "Altitude" Analogy for Cash Value 42:0 - Illustration of Actual Policy Performance 49:00 - Legacy Planning vs. Self-Focused Retirement 55:00 - Compensation Models: Commissions vs. Asset Management Fees 01:02:00 - Dave's Lack of Understanding About Infinite Banking 01:09:00 - Final Thoughts on Making Informed Financial DecisionsGot Questions?

TWIST & SHOUT— Philip Burke's portraits don't just look like the people he paints—they actually vibrate. Just look at them. With wild color, skewed proportions, and emotional clarity, his illustrations have lit up the pages of Rolling Stone, The New Yorker, Time, and Vanity Fair, capturing cultural icons in a way that feels both chaotic and essential.But behind that explosive style is a steady, spiritual core.Burke begins each day by chanting. It sounds like this: “Nam Myōhō Renge Kyō. Nam Myōhō Renge Kyō. Nam Myōhō Renge Kyō.” It means “devotion to the mystic law of cause and effect through sound,” he says. The chant grounds Burke and opens a space where true connection—on the canvas and in life—can happen.This daily practice is more than a ritual—it's a source of creative clarity. Burke's rise was rapid and raw. Emerging from Buffalo, New York, he made his name in the punk-charged art scene of the 1980s with a fearless, high-voltage style. But it was through his spiritual journey that the work began to transform—less about distortion for shock, and more about essence, empathy, and insight. Less funhouse mirror, more human.Our Anne Quito spoke to Burke about how Buddhism reshaped his approach to portraiture, what it means to truly see a subject, and why staying present—both on the page and in life—is his greatest creative discipline.—This episode is made possible by our friends at Commercial Type and Freeport Press.

Emmanuelle Hutin a publié un premier récit remarqué, La Grenade (Stock, 2021). En parallèle de l'écriture, elle est directrice artistique indépendante et enseigne le yoga au profit d'associations caritatives. Son nouveau livre Les francs-tireuses est une fiction qui s'inspire de l'histoire vraie de deux femmes artistes qui ont résisté pendant la guerre avec des actions inédites dans l'Histoire. « Imagine-t-on pareille témérité ? » écrira Claude Cahun après la guerre. Comment croire qu'un couple de femmes artistes, bourgeoises, cinquantenaires, d'origine juive et à la santé fragile, s'élève seul contre les Allemands pendant les quatre années d'occupation de l'île de Jersey ?Claude Cahun est l'une des figures les plus singulières de l'avant-garde artistique parisienne. Avec Suzanne Malherbe, sa compagne de toujours, elle adhère et participe activement au mouvement surréaliste et révolutionnaire antifasciste. Mais c'est sur l'île de Jersey, où elles s'installent en 1938, que va se déployer leur activité militante. Convaincues que la liberté et l'amour fraternel sont des valeurs universelles, Claude et Suzanne mènent une contre-propagande poétique ; une résistance de papiers, de bouteilles vides et de milliers de tracts signés « Le soldat sans nom » pour créer l'impression d'une fronde au sein même des rangs allemands. Elles sont les francs-tireuses, usant de leurs armes spirituelles pour inciter les soldats à cesser de se battre. Les faits leur ont donné raison : Jersey a été libérée pacifiquement. Les Francs-tireuses s'appuie sur des textes dans lesquels Claude Cahun et Suzanne Malherbe ont raconté leurs années de guerre. Fidèle à leurs actions et à leurs tempéraments, Emmanuelle Hutin s'inspire librement de ces écrits pour rendre hommage au courage de ces résistantes invisibilisées par l'Histoire. (Présentation des éditions Anne Carrière)Illustration musicale : Gnossienne (1) de Erik SatiePour aller plus loin, à découvrir également :À travers les destins croisés de cinq résistantes, Philippe Collin retrace le rôle crucial longtemps oublié des femmes dans la lutte intérieure et extérieure face au nazisme entre 1940 et 1944.Souvent réduites à une poignée de clichés romantiques, les femmes dans l'histoire de la Résistance française sont longtemps restées invisibles. Or, dans un pays vaincu, humilié et privé en partie de sa population masculine, emmenée en Allemagne en captivité dès l'été 1940, les femmes furent les premières à réagir et à initier un esprit d'insoumission. Parmi elles, deux figures illustres : Lucie Aubrac et Geneviève de Gaulle. Ainsi que trois femmes demeurées dans l'ombre : Mila Racine, Simonne Mathieu et Renée Davelly.Destins emblématiques ou méconnus, les trajectoires de ces cinq résistantes vont s'entremêler et se répondre : un récit choral et global qui redonne toute leur place aux femmes au côté des hommes.Cet ouvrage est l'adaptation illustrée d'archives inédites ou rares du podcast à succès sur France Inter suivi par plus de 2,5 millions d'auditeurs et plébiscitée par la critique.

THE NEW, NEW COFFEE GENERATION—On today's show we're creating a storm in a coffee cup about everyone's cup of joe. We're spilling the beans about your morning brew. You're going to hear a latte puns about your cuppa, your high-octane dirt, your jitter juice, your elixir, and by the time we're done you will have both woken up and smelled the coffee.Luke Adams is the editor in chief of Standart, a magazine about a bean that was first cultivated in Ethiopia in the 9th century and within a few hundred years had many of us hooked. It is a subject obviously and extravagantly rich in history, lore, and possibility. What it is not, however, is a paean to what Luke calls “cutting-edge coffee-making geekery.” Rather, Standart is about growers and roasters. It is about cafes and third spaces. It is about culture. It is, in other words, about you, the coffee drinker. It attempts to bring together a disparate potential readership around a singular subject, one that not too many actually talk about. Because while cafes encourage conversation, that conversation is rarely about what we're drinking. Even when it's a “damn fine cup of coffee.”—This episode is made possible by our friends at Freeport Press. A production of Magazeum LLC ©2021–2025

Today, we make a broad but apt, I think, illustration from John 1:35-51. We see through this passage a simple conversation with Jesus and then perplexing words from The Word of God, Jesus.

English novelist Daisy Hildyard envisions the deep time evolution of the coastline of Scarborough, North Yorkshire: from a prehistoric meteor strike, to a 19th-century seaside aquarium devoid of fish, a present-day spate of dead tides, and a future where part of the human population has evolved into a hybrid marine species, drawn back to the cradle of the sea to care for its degraded waters. Vividly narrated by acclaimed British actor Colin Salmon, and created as part of Wild Eye—an art and nature trail in Yorkshire that raises awareness about coastal erosion in the face of climate change—this short story traces the forever-shifting tides of our relationship with the sea.  Read the story.
