Have you ever wondered what it takes to pivot from one artistic discipline to another? 

On the latest episode of the art podcast, I meet painter Jesse Mangerson.

Jesse's story begins with aspirations of becoming an illustrator, a dream that took him all the way to an internship at the prestigious New Yorker magazine and into the world of children's book illustration. But as they delved deeper into his craft, Jesse encountered a profound realization: their true passion was not in illustration but in the act of painting itself.

Jesse shares how their experiences in illustration ultimately led to the embrace of fine art painting, revealing the meditative joy Jesse finds in direct observational work and the rich textures of oil paint.

Jesse discusses the nuances of commissioned paintings, the balance between artistic integrity and client expectations, and the unpredictable path of selling artwork through galleries.

How I use one Gmail address for multiple Soundcloud accounts

Do you know the Gmail "+" trick to use one email for multiple accounts on one service? Here's a little trick I use that works for any service.  I talked about this on the podcast episode I did with artist Mortimur K . In this case, let's say I used up all the uploads I have for my free Soundcloud account . With this trick, I can open a new free account and use the same Gmail address. I don't want to create another Gmail account to sign up again.  Using my one Gmail address for multiple accounts on the same service I don't remember when I learned this but you can alter the name on a Gmail address. Like, let's say mine is "tom@gmail.com". To be clear that is not my email. I wish it was, but this is just a short example. Start with the original Gmail address Add a "+" after the email name Where it says "tom" on the address I can put a "+" after that. Add a "+" after the email name After that "+" I ca

Can I Buy And Resell Copies Of My Own Book From Amazon KDP?

There are two questions that I get asked about publishing my webcomic books on Amazon KDP . 1 - Can I Order A Print Copy Of My Own Book From Amazon KDP? When I started printing on Amazon KDP I also had that question. The reason I put the books together is I was just kind of doing it for myself. I could make a paperback version of my webcomic books and then I and my family could get a copy. It didn't even occur to me that I could actually start selling the book in public.  I thought it was just print-on-demand and then maybe I could order one.  But when I print a book on Amazon KDP I can also get up to 999 copies and sell it on my own!  I was able to get my own copies from Amazon KDP sent to me.  As the author, I can get them at printing cost . So they're at a discounted price. The option to order author copies is right in the KDP publishing setup.  The button is next to the book in KDP. 👇 The other question I get about publishing my book on Amazon KDP... 2 - Can I Sell My A
