Enon Avital of Dapper Notes talks in detail about making things by hand, using his own unique pocket notebook business Dapper Notes as an example. This side business he runs is more than making paper notebooks, it is a form of "process art" itself. To fully understand that, watch the Dapper Notes process videos and listen to Enon's explanation in the episode. Enon emphasises how important the process is when we make things. It's not sustainable to be feeding social media algorithms through likes and follower counts. It's only when you can enjoy the process of making things that you can continue over time.

| 60: Pebble Stationery and Tomoe River Paper | 12 Mar 2019 | 00:44:26 | |
Pebble Stationery make affordably priced notebooks with Tomoe River paper. This paper is particularly well suited to drawing and painting with inks. Especially fountain pen inks, because it shows off their full sheening and shading potentials. Kim talks to co-founder Lois Ho about creating a stationery brand from scratch via Kickstarter, their matching pencils, and charity work. Tomoe River paper is also used in the Hobonichi diaries/journals. Many people use them for combined art and bullet journalling because the paper handles inks well, many different pens, and even light watercolour. However, it is very thin paper. There is a lot of show-through, and the paper will go wavy when wet. Fans of the ultra-thin 52 gsm paper like it for its crinkly feel.

This interview with letter writing enthusiast, and all round creative person Naomi Bulger, is a realist’s take on becoming an artist. It’s very refreshing and inspiring. Give it a listen! Audio note: this interview was recorded via Skype, before we were able to improve our audio quality. Naomi Bulger is a writer, illustrator and teacher from Melbourne, Australia. Her love for illustration started with reading illustrated children’s books. However, that kind of art was discouraged during her school days. It took a long time for her to find her way back to illustration. Naomi has worked in journalism and copywriting, and continues with creative writing in different forms. Mail art is what finally got her back into illustrating. It was a creative outlet during a stressful time. In this interview she tells her story, and shares her thoughts on making your creative pursuits a career. She describes some “dos and don’ts” about creative work and how to get started as an illustrator. Support Art Supply Posse and get bonus episodes ##Topics

| 56: Combing Analogue and Digital Art in Procreate with Brooke Glaser | 22 Jan 2019 | 00:33:06 | |
A talk about combining analogue and digital art, using the Procreate app, with Brooke Glaser. Have you ever scanned your analog artwork, only to be disappointed because the textures and imperfections that made it special have disappeared or been smoothed out? Have you tried to create textured backgrounds, like watercolours, with software? This is particularly true for hand lettering imported to vector apps, which tend to make everything look the same. Brooke is an illustrator, surface designer, and art teacher. She tells us how particularly the Procreate app has changed the way she creates illustrations, and compares it to the “olden days“ using Photoshop. Support Art Supply Posse and get bonus episodes Procreate is currently only available for the iPad, where it has become the most popular drawing application among professionals. It’s so affordable though at $10 currently that anyone who can afford an iPad can also afford the app. Photoshop costs more than that per month. Brooke has several classes, currently on Skillshare.

| 55: All the Colours and Beyond - Tetrachromacy with Concetta Antico | 28 Dec 2018 | 00:43:21 | |
All the Colours and Beyond - Tetrachromacy with Concetta Antico Support Art Supply Posse and get bonus episodes Concetta has been using her unique gift for 25 years to teach others how to see more colours and to paint in oils. Most people have three colour receptors. We are generally trichromats. Tetrachromacy is a genetic mutation, resulting in a fourth colour receptor. However, having the fourth colour receptor does not make someone a true tetrachromat. Among the very few tetrachromats there are differences as to how many colours each person perceives. Concetta also has an extraordinarily high luminance factor, meaning she sees a lot more light. She sees more colours in low light, or semi darkness. The physical ability is only the beginning. As Concetta explains, most of her extraordinary colour perception results from her environment and “visual training” as an artist. She has been painting continuously since the age of six. Originally from Australia, Concetta shares her time between San Diego, California and Australia. Concetta mainly works in oils because she finds she can mix greater nuances of colour with oil paints. Concetta didn’t discover her tetrachromacy until her daughter started reporting signs of colour deficiency. Tetrachromats can genetically pass on their fourth colour receptor, as Concetta’s mother presumably did to Concetta and her sister, but it can also result in colour deficiency, as with Concetta ‘s daughter. Concetta tells the fascinating story of how she started realising she might not be like everyone else and how that lead to university research studies being done today. Kim and Concetta also discuss how tetrachromacy is part genetics, part learned and environmental. Become a Patron and get bonus episodesSupport Art Supply Posse monthly on Patreon Episode Topics

Get bonus episodes by supporting Art Supply Posse About Rachel HazellRachel Hazell travels the world teaching people how to make artist books. She has built a giant two meter tall book for a fashion design exhibit which visitors wrote in, and which travelled the world. Rachel has visited Antarctica three times, teaching sailors to write poetry on a Navy ship, and working as “Postmistress and Penguin Monitor” (her official job title, obviously). Artist BooksArtist books vary from regular books in their materials which are often customised with hand drawn or hand printed designs. The materials can be very diverse and even feature found objects. Artist books can be unique one-off books, or handmade by a book bindery in small runs, but are generally not mass produced. Artist books push the boundaries of bookbinding and challenge your expectations of what a book can be. Rachel’s book titled “Bound” has easy to follow projects showing you how to make artist books. It is available from your local bookshop and online.

Liz Steel episode Liz Steel talks about becoming an urban sketcher, journalling her life, and teaching art. Liz’s Online sketching courses Liz Steel’s website and blog Liz Steel talks about becoming an art teacher who journals her life by sketching with ink and watercolour . Liz says “I’m doing it because it’s a very honest response to what I see and where I am and what I do”. Episode 18 on fountain pens for drawing There’s a forum app too: iOS Discourse App for Artsupia Forum Android Discourse App for Artsupia Forum ##Topic Summaries Kim compares urban sketching to photography, how they both record a fleeting moment, and Liz explains how sketching has replaced photography for her. She used to take photos and print and bind photo books, but now her sketchbooks serve the same purpose. Liz compares herself to other travel sketchers and describes how she wants to document everywhere she’s been, not just one sketch a day. Sometimes she does up to 20 sketches a day. Move from architecture In architecture, it’s important to keep a kind of “idea book” where you keep sketches of buildings and ideas. Liz says she knew it was important, but just never sketched, until she found Danny Gregory. His work opened up sketching for her to include other subjects and mediums. This also opened up an obsession to document her life which got her into sketching. Liz didn’t make a clean break with architecture but instead, about five years ago, she took 6 months off work. The reasons were many and she wanted to see if she could do something with her art. Things started moving, and Liz got to do both illustration projects and teaching. Liz felt she had more of a role to fill as an architect turned sketcher than as a pure architect. She enjoyed having more creative freedom than her profession allowed. The traditional advice for people wanting to work with their creative passion is to balance the time between a “day job” and their passion and transition gradually. Liz did nothing of that, hers was more of a sabbatical turned transition as the demands at her day job were too much to be able to handle a side business too. Liz struggled with gaining recognition locally in the beginning. She was getting more recognition online in the international scene. She also realised she was less into client work and more interested in creating a product, which in her case developed into online courses. Urban sketching in Australia When Liz started out urban sketching, there were just a handful of people in Australia who even knew what it was, but it has definitely grown now. There are groups all over, for example in Sydney, Melbourne, Brisbane, Tasmania, South Australia and Perth. Mediums Liz primarily uses | |||
