Not fond of the opening music.

I don't think the music reflects these guys or art in general. With all the amazing musicians and music out there why would they pick something like this? I think they should choose something a little bit more interesting and artistic.

Can’t Live Without!

The “Just Make Art” podcast has informed me more than any other education tool to date! Ty and Nathan breakdown what it takes to succeed, get inspired, and explore your artistic world at any level within your career. I personally appreciate their authenticity and vulnerability within their lives and creative experiences and how that speaks to their work ethic and creative practices. Consistently exploring art master's vocabulary and thought has been crucial in leading me to a deeper understanding of my own process and has inspired more intentional and thoughtful art and studio practices. For certain, this podcast is a valuable learning and inspiring tool. A must listen on repeat!
