My Art & Illustration Resources Part 3 (Podcasts)

 So this is the last in my series of 3 posts about My Artist Resources. These are things I look, at use, watch and/or listen to that help me do the things I do. Check out Part 1 (YouTube) here and Part 2 (Tools an Software) here.

• Sketch Zone Podcast - This my favorite podcast right now, regardless of being art-related or not.  The cast rotates from time to time but regularly includes the same 3 artists.  Charlie B Williams III, Jack Kasprzak, and the host, Carlos Gomez.  They are funny and informative at the same time and they always bring in interesting and varied guests each show. It reminds me a bit of hanging out with old friends and the rivalry or jokes you make with each other. Past guests include Will Terry and Jake Parker, both accomplished illustrators and YouTubers themselves.

• Chris Oatley - Chris is the founder of the Oatley Academy, an online school focused on visual storytelling.  I suggest you go to his site in the included link, to see all he has to offer, as there is so much more than just the podcasts.  I’m interested in the ‘Escape From Art Jail’ but as far as I know it is a part of the premium subscription package and I'm not quite there yet!

• The Animation Network - I love this podastt! It’s an amazing resource for information related to the animation industry. Kris Wimberly is an experienced animator working in Burbank, CA. Not only does he storyboard but he also is in the process of developing his own show with a different studio than where he works at during the day. Pretty cool, huh? He has had on Production Assistants, Storyboard Artists, Background Artists, even a network executive. ​
