Hello!
In today's episode Natasha and Mel chat about ways to keep your work fresh.
We have both found there are times when what we're doing becomes overly familiar and we loose the excitement that we initially had for what we were doing. In this episode we chat and share things we have found to be helpful in igniting that energy again. We hope you find it helpful and do let us know what you do to inject joy back into your practice.
Here are the links we talked about in the podcast episode

Hello! In today's podcast we chat about all the things that have changed for our art practice and business since the beginning of the pandemic.
Rather than focus on the negative aspects we attempt to take a more positive outlook and see the opportunities and changes that have influenced us and how we are responding to them.
Natasha shares about how she has found new mediums to work in, whilst Mel shares about how she transitioned to teaching online, and both have been able to connect and collaborate with more people and during this time.
As always let us know if you have any questions, advice or thoughts on this subject. We'd love to hear what you're doing differently in your art business.
Speak soon,

In this episode we chat about the issue of working for free and if and when we should ever be offering our time without payment. We look at a number of difference scenarios as well as give real-life answers to people who have asked us to work for free.
As you'll hear we are pretty passionate about this subject and both of us have experienced this so many times.
So do let us know your experience in this matter, do you get asked to work for free? How and do you respond?

Welcome to episode 10 of our podcast - Creative Catchup, where myself Mel Chadwick, illustrator/designer and Natasha Newton, artist/illustrator chat about running a creative business.
In this episode we answer all your questions!
Thanks to everyone who submitted questions for us- here are the questions that we answered:
@carolinehowitt - I would love to know more about how you both navigated moving into illustration from fine art.
@sal.eyre How did you get started as an artist/illustrator? Did you have help from anyone? How did you get your foot in the door and establish yourselves?
@iamlaurie You two are very confident and provide a natural way to share you art, thoughts and motivations. Which is something so much more than hiding behind your work in galleries. How did you begin this journey to be able to share to your audience in this way?
@ellie-duncan21 When things are not flowing as you'd like creatively, how do you deal with this?
@chocolate.clare Do you make art apart from what you post on social media? If so, do you only post the work that matches your recognised style? I'm struggling at the moment as I feel like I've found my style but get bored with sticking to it all the time! I like to experiment!
@lauraharrisonart_ How do you know when it's right to make a calculated financial risk as an artist?
@mike.davies52643 How much does the national pass cost?
@heidhorch Any advice on planning tasks and scheduling analog works vs digital: editing, posting etc.
@maillork Were there any things that were sort of surprises that you had to think of when you started?
@rheenak Hi can I sell my art at this difficult time?
@jessalittlecreative Help with overcoming imposter syndrome? It stops me creating work before I've even started!
@annmarireigstad Do you have any favourite art/illustration books?
@christineansellart What would be your dream creation?
This one is our last episode of season 1, we have really enjoyed chatting about running our business and hope you have enjoyed listening and learning along with us. If you have any topics you'd like us to tackle next season now is the time to let us know. Just write a comment on our Youtube channel or Instagram feed.
Speak soon,
