Hey, y'all, just a quick heads up. The episode you're about to listen to is 8 to 10 years old.

Now, these episodes were intended to be Evergreen, and I still believe there's a lot of good

information in these early episodes, but I do want to let you know that some of my ideas have

evolved over time. Times have changed since we

made these episodes. And ultimately, I'd like to think I've grown a lot as an artist and a human

and that these don't necessarily represent my best work or the best of the podcast. If you're new

around here, I suggest starting with the most recent episode

or at least go back to around 300

and move forward from there.

Enjoy the episode. Hey, everybody. You're listening to the Creative Pep Talk podcast.

This show is about commercial art, making a good living, and making great art.

I'm your host, Dr. J. Pizza.

Or also, you can just call me Andy J. Miller.

I'm a commercial artist.

Let's jump in.
