Ever look back at your first mural and cringe just a little? In this episode of the Artist Academy Podcast, I'm taking you behind the scenes of my very first paid mural—the $350 job that had me spending three scorching days in the sun, a sketchy ladder, and a whole lot of “what was I thinking?” moments.I'll share what that project taught me about pricing, safety, and preparation—lessons I wish I'd known before climbing that ladder with the wrong paint and too much optimism. These early mistakes shaped how I run my mural business today, from choosing the right materials to confidently quoting big projects and staying safe while doing what I love. Whether you're just starting out or looking to fine-tune your process, this episode will help you skip the struggle and learn from my first-mural fiasco. Resources mentioned: Mural Supplies → artistacademy.co/supply Mural Pricing Guide → artistacademy.co/pricingguide $17 Audio Book → MuralMoney.com HEADS UP! I will be taking on a new small group of artists to coach more intimately with meetings every week starting January 1st. If you are interested, message me and I will put your name on a list to let you know as soon as it becomes available. You are perfect for this coaching if you have a few photos of your work and need guidance on bigger projects, what to say to customers, how to land jobs, or if you get stuck not knowing what to do—I'm on call.

Democrat Senators confronted Speaker of the House Mike Johnson in what was clearly a coordinated political stunt. // How big of a baseball town is Seattle?

Every postcard has its surprises, and this one from my collection is a little unusual. Instead of showing a scenic view or a tourist attraction, it shows a mural of a man who was both feared and admired: Jesse James, the famous Missouri outlaw. The mural is located inside the Missouri State Capitol in Jefferson City, and the fact that it ended up on a postcard tells you a lot about how Americans have remembered Jesse James—not just as a criminal, but as a larger-than-life figure of folklore. The postcard was published by Blair Cedar & Novelty Works of Camdenton, Missouri, with printing by Colorpicture of Boston, Massachusetts. Like many linen-era cards, it's vivid and bold, with stylized colors that almost make the mural look alive. On the front, the mural shows Jesse James and his gang in the middle of a train robbery—a scene that has become part of American legend. Farmers and workers stand in the background, symbolizing the state's broader history, while the train steams through the center as the action unfolds. It's a striking image: outlaw life turned into high art, displayed in the very heart of Missouri government...

Protests continue at the U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement facility in suburban Broadview after agents have deployed tear gas and pepper bullets over the last few days. Host Jacoby Cochran and executive producer Simone Alicea discuss the latest, including a report that ICE considered closing the facility, which federal officials denied. They also talk about a computer-generated mural on the Kennedy (and where to see some real ones), and Jacoby suggests it's a good day for Chicago sports fans.  Good news:  Future Folk Festival, Uptown Rhythm Festival, Hyde Park Jazz Festival, Musika SamaSama Filipino Festival Want some more City Cast Chicago news?

It sucks to lose a mural job. Period. It also sucks to see another artist land the job you really wanted. Let's just be real—it's easier said than done to feel happiness for someone who got the opportunity you were reaching for.In this week's Artist Academy Podcast, I'm sharing stories from my own career where I've been on both sides of that coin. I'll walk you through how I overcame those negative feelings and reframed them into something useful. Instead of dwelling on what I didn't get, I've learned to ask:• How can I stand out in a crowd?• How can I niche down even more?• How can I enjoy what I do daily, even more?• How am I already different from other muralists in my area?This episode is all about choosing community over competition, sticking to your value instead of lowering your prices, and finding your unique edge.And before I wrap up, I'll also give you details about the 2026 Costa Rica Mural Meetup —a week of mural painting, spray and latex training, sunrise yoga, and jungle adventures.
