Andy J. Pizza is an illustrator.  Sometimes he uses pictures. Like in his kid’s books, comics, and client work for the likes of The New York Times, Apple, or Nickelodeon.  Sometimes he uses words. Like when he’s making his podcast Creative Pep Talk. CPT consists of monologues on building a thriving creative practice and conversations with creative powerhouses like Joseph Gordon-Levitt, Abbi Jacobson, and Morgan Harper Nichols. His favorite way to illustrate ideas is with analogies and stories on stage. Andy’s style of public speaking is one part TED Talk, one part one-man show — with a sprinkle of stand-up comedy. In this episode, we talk about creative taste and intuition, watching the tape, playing your hits, creative habits, and why he’s more focused on storytelling than ever before. Andy J.

Hello my friend! Welcome to a short, audio-only episode of Creative Elements. First off, we're taking a break from uploading to YouTube this week. So I'll share a little bit behind the scenes for why that is (and why it's scary). Then we'll get into a 12-part framework for how YOU can become more consistent with publishing and hitting deadlines. This framework was first covered in my newsletter, Creator Science!
