| Episode 65: Mark Making: Your Artist Signature | 30 Apr 2024 | 00:17:16 | |
Like forging your mom's signature on your report card, your artist's signature cannot be copied or replicated. It may look great to you, but others can tell it is not unique.

| Episode 64: Size Matters: 6+ Tips To Adjust Going Up or Down In Canvas Size | 23 Apr 2024 | 00:30:34 | |
Size matters…with your art. So many artists think that just because they have a little skin in the game, they also need to size up their work. But that's not true AT ALL. Size doesn't necessarily equate to success. In fact, there's a lot to consider before you start creating bigger pieces of work, and it may not be right for you depending on what kind of business you want to run. But if you're curious about working with bigger canvases, and getting them to sell, this episode is for you! Make sure to subscribe to this podcast so you don't miss a thing!

| Episode 62: Elevate Your Representational Art With These Tips | 09 Apr 2024 | 00:19:00 | |
This episode goes out to all the representational artists out there. Whether you paint chickens, cows, cars, or flowers, I hate to break it to you, but your work is probably missing one REALLY important thing…. YOU! As a representational artist, it's so easy to get swept up into creating a perfect piece. But the truth is, if you want to elevate and enhance what's on the canvas, and make it, well, not boring AF, you're going to need to infuse your own unique perspective into it. How can you do that?

| Episode 60: How to Become Your Future Self | 26 Mar 2024 | 00:17:53 | |
On this episode, I'm challenging the notion that, in order to be happy, we have to have the things we want. Instead, what if we focused on being the person who made those things possible? As artists, we're so often holding ourselves back from happiness because we don't "have" our goals yet. We don't have a gallery show, we don't have collectors, we don't have a daily creative practice. The reality is, though, that we have to work on ourselves to make sure we're the person who can make those goals a reality. We can't find satisfaction with our art (or our lives!) until we settle the score with ourselves. We have to BE the person who can achieve those goals we set for ourselves. Not sure what I mean or how you can flip the script from "having" to "being"? That's what we cover in this episode, along with challenging your goals (why have you set them?) and figuring out WHO you need to be to attain those goals. This is a juicy one, so don't miss out!

| Episode 58: My Best Tips for Creating Abstract Art | 12 Mar 2024 | 00:21:15 | |
What does it mean when a piece of art "has it"? When you hear people say, "I get it"? To someone who doesn't understand abstract art, it can feel like everyone else is speaking a language you don't — but I'm here to break down what makes abstract art great. The truth is, abstract art is about so much more than technique and skill. They're important, sure, but there's something much greater at play. It all comes down to doing the inside work before you get to work on the canvas. It's about sharing the message that only you can share! That's what can make abstract art speak directly to people — even when there's nothing "physical" represented on the canvas. But how can you, as an artist, tap into your most-important message and share it on a canvas? That's what I'll be talking about in this episode, Make sure to subscribe to this podcast so you don't miss a thing! And don't forget to come hang with me on Instagram @jodie_king_.

| Episode 57: Do You Fear Failing With Your Art? Or Do You Fear Success? | 05 Mar 2024 | 00:13:28 | |
What's keeping you stuck? Is it your fear of failure? Or your fear of success? Or maybe — and hear me out on this one — it's the fear of something else entirely. Something we're using "fear" and "success" as a blanket term for when really it's a bigger, more personal, more important concern. On this episode of the show, I'm talking about why the fear of success and the fear of failure as an artist stems from something so much deeper — and I'll be showing you how to discover what that means for YOU.

| Episode 56: How Art Helps Us Heal | 27 Feb 2024 | 00:21:23 | |
When I first picked up the paintbrush, I had no idea how much art would one day impact my life. At first, painting was just a fun hobby, a way to add some me time in my life. I didn't know that it would SAVE my life. The truth is, though: Art heals. Not just mentally, but physically, too. In this episode of the Honest Art Podcast, I want to talk about why. Even if you've never even so much as touched paint or drawn a stick figure before, you're going to want to listen to this one! Because truly, we can all benefit from art.

| Episode 53: 10 Common Abstract Art Mistakes to Avoid | 06 Feb 2024 | 00:29:45 | |
There's nothing quick and easy about abstract expressionist art. We MUST avoid falling into the trap of thinking that our most honest art can come in "5 minutes or less." This isn't a hot and ready pizza — this is FINE art. Still, staring at a blank canvas can get frustrating. But that rut may be because you're making one of the 10 mistakes I'm sharing in this episode.

| Episode 52: How to Find Your Unique Style as an Artist | 30 Jan 2024 | 00:21:16 | |
What do you think makes your work unique as an artist? Is it the style you paint in, like abstract work or oil pastel paintings? Or is it something much deeper than that? I'll spoil this one for you: It's so much deeper than your "style." What makes your artwork unique is your voice, the thing that is pulled through any type of art you create. From style to style and medium to medium, your voice is the commonality between it all. But what IS your voice and how do you find it so you can create your most honest art? I'm digging into all of that in this episode. Listen in to hear:

"Honest Art" is a phrase I use often. What started out as a simple hashtag is now the motto for my business and my life.

So in this episode, I'm getting REALLY honest with you, and talking about where this phrase came from.

| Episode 44: Top Tips for Overcoming Rejection and Criticism as an Artist | 28 Nov 2023 | 00:22:56 | |
Rejection: What can we learn from it? THAT is the question we need to be asking, not "How can I avoid rejection?" Because we can't — failure and rejection are just parts of life. It's also a part of your journey as an artist. Rejection doesn't mean you suck. Hell, even the greats faced failure and rejection. Any time you fall down, it simply means you're showing the eff up (and learning along the way). But to reap all the benefits and lessons that come from experiencing rejection, you have to first shift your mindset. Failure can easily knock us down, but it's how we get up that counts.

And hard work requires showing up consistently. If you want to improve your skills and create your best art, if you want to take things to that next level, you HAVE to be consistent. You have to actively face down creative blocks and challenges that try to prevent you from picking up that brush, pen, clay, what have you.

| Episode 36: How Music Impacts Creativity | 03 Oct 2023 | 00:17:05 | |
Can music boost creativity? Absolutely! Can it help us as artists make our best, most honest art? Eh…not so fast. I'm a HUGE music lover, but I have guidelines I like to abide by when adding music to the creative process. No, it's not about pressing play on one genre over the other. It's about making sure your music is in alignment with your mood. You can't bypass the emotional process (aka putting on happy music when you're in a funk) if you want to make your most honest work. So in this episode, we're taking a deeper look into WHY music helps us create, and how to use music (and dancing!) to create our best art yet.

For years, getting my art into a gallery was how I defined success as an artist. It was all I wanted to do. It was my number one priority and I hustled hard to make it happen.

Software is an important part of any business. But does it have a place in YOUR art biz? Absolutely. Full disclosure, I use a ton of different softwares to help me out — from podcast management to team calls, accounting, and more. There is one software/tool, however, that stands above the crowd. It's the ONE thing I can't live without in my art biz. Why? Because it makes it easy for us artists to track our artwork, showcase our portfolios, and grow our business. What am I talking about? Artwork Archive! And for this special episode, I brought on Katie Carey, Head of Content and Growth at Artwork Archive, to show y'all how helpful this tool can be for ANY artist!

| Episode 29: Art Critiques: It's More Than Just Being Told You Suck | 15 Aug 2023 | 00:15:13 | |
What's better as an artist; positive feedback or criticism? BOTH! You need positive feedback to feel supported and find the motivation to continue on with your work. But you also need "negative" (aka constructive) criticism to learn how to grow as an artist. But that doesn't mean it doesn't hurt! After all, you pour your heart and soul into your work. You can't help but feel that type of critique is personal, right? That's why in this episode, I'm going to talk about how we can learn to embrace seemingly "negative" feedback, how to hold onto positive feedback, and why you should hold neither in too high of regard!

| Episode 73: The Importance of Connecting With Other Artists, Ft. Studio Elite Members | 25 Jun 2024 | 00:28:04 | |
Being an artist is vulnerable work. Slinging paint away in the studio for hours on end, trying to pull what's in your mind out onto the canvas… It can become heavy after a while. That's why we need a community of fellow artists to support us, which is part of why I created my Studio Elite artist mastermind. We aren't meant to walk this artist's path alone. . . .

Getting my first art studio — game changer or bad investment? I'm not one to buy into all the fancy stuff that "they" say makes you an artist, but having a studio of my own, OUTSIDE of home, was one of the best decisions I ever made in my art biz!

Welcome to season two of the Honest Art Podcast! Let's get right into it with a deep one — myths about creativity. Really, I'd call them lies, because they're straight-up NOT true.

| Episode 26: Screw Work/Life Balance — Do THIS Instead | 27 Jun 2023 | 00:24:29 | |
I'm going to go bold here and say as artists, there's no such thing as balance. The lines between work and play are constantly getting blurred because our work IS play. And when you're trying to juggle creating the best work you possibly can, work you're PROUD of, with all the responsibilities that come with running a business…you really need something besides balance. You need ALIGNMENT. That's why in this episode I talk about:
