A week or ago I talked to Danny Gregory (author of books like Art Before Breakfast and An Illustrated Life) in anticipation of my keynote at SketchKon in November. We talked about a variety of things: the power of paper, banker’s boxes, my notebooks, paper monuments to human effort, David Sedaris, something small every day, Thoreau, collage, zines, finding your voice, etc. Listen here.
Coffee with an old friend
Back in February I sat down with Mike Rohde and recorded a conversation for his Sketchnote Army podcast about how I work. It was recorded on an iPhone in a noisy coffee shop downtown, but it has a casual, candid feel to it that I enjoyed.
I was right in the middle of writing the talk that would become my new book, and while I don’t talk about the book at all, I talk a lot about the process of getting to it: going back to daily blogging, putting out the newsletter, having a repeatable daily practice for generating work, reading Thoreau’s journals, watching Ralph Steadman draw, etc.
Listen here.
Make it
This interview with the Adobe Make It folks was posted today, but it was filmed nine months ago, last August, which makes it odd for me to watch now, because I had no clue I was already working on the book I’m working on now. When Paul asks me what’s next, I say something about my kids and thinking about what creative people can learn from the way kids play. So funny. A lot can happen in 9 months. Whole humans can be conceived and born. Books, too…
My new interview with Chase Jarvis
In this video, I sit down with Chase Jarvis for an hour-long chat about side projects, having an impact, mindlessly scrolling the internet, being told what to Tweet, and more.
Chase is one of my favorite interviewers, and we always have a good time.
Previous videos with Chase: a 90-minute 2013 interview in Chase’s studio, why my books aren’t just for “creatives,” and 3 reasons why you should show your work.
Two recent interviews
Podcasts invitations beget podcast invitations, so I say no to a lot of them, but I recently had two enjoyable hour-long conversations about writing and creativity, the first with Jeff Goins (here’s a PDF transcript):
The second with Brian Clark, for his podcast, Unemployable:
