Showing Off, Saying No, and Marshall Gets a Prank Call - Draftsmen S2E18

Always wonderful to hear you two. The other day I finally listened to the end of season one. Since then I’ve been (unintentionally) having vivid lucid dreams each night, and somehow joining the rest of my English vocabulary, Japanese vocab, and Japanese sign language vocab, the word “buttmunch” (sp?) has also made it into my dream vocab, @Stan Prokopenko . Crazy 😜! I’m very much looking forward to hearing what your female guest will have to say about the hyper-sexualizing of women in anatomy drawings, especially considering the percentage of women who have been or will be sexually assaulted sometime in their lifetimes, to say nothing of sexual harassment. Although I might enjoy some erotic art if that’s what I’m expecting (it depends), if it’s not what I’m expecting it totally gives me the creeps. No idea how I would experience a hyper-sexualized male figure in an anatomy forum, because that never seems to happen 🙄.

LESSON NOTES

Marshall and Stan field voicemail questions about balancing time an artist should devote to input and output, what kind of message they want to convey with their art, how much showing off is too much, and whether an artist should take a pay cut to create artwork for friends.

Marshall and I answer questions about balancing input and output, what kind of message we want to convey with our art, how much showing off is too much, and whether an artist should take a pay cut to create artwork for friends.
