Listen "Mel Kostad - Tiny Tiny Things, Part 2"
Episode Synopsis
Takeaways1. Use your artwork to quietly talk about things that are important to you.2. If you’ve never made paper I highly recommend. It’s like magic.3. ATCs (artist trading cards) are great because: 1) it’s a great way to get unstuck, 2) it’s not a big commitment, and 3) there is no monetary incentive.4. Take the time to find out what other people think and feel about things. Don’t just keep scrolling.5. If I agree to do something, I'm not going to do it half assed I'm going to do it whole assed.6. Being reliable, responsible, and a nice person to be around and matters just as much as the art.Mentioned in this episodeFollow Mel Kolstad on InstagramMel Kolstad’s websiteMel Kostad’s TedX talk - Channeling Your Inner Kid for Your CareerATCs for All Artist Trading CardsThemla Sadoff Center for the ArtsThe Exquisite Uterus ProjectArnold Grummer’sUnited States Postal Service Ruth Asawa stamps
