Tom Ray

Listen to the podcast on Apple Podcasts | YouTube Podcasts | Spotify | RSS This is an experimental bonus episode!  Since it's the holidays I wanted to wait until they were over to post the next artist interview.  So I thought I would try a little experiment.  I take a lot of marketing courses. And to tell you the truth one thing I've noticed is they all pretty much teach the same thing. However, one marketing course that I took talked about how to build an audience starting from scratch at the beginning, or how to inject new life into your existing creative business.  Whether you're an artist, writer, or any kind of creator, the principles can be applied across various creative fields. I thought I would just share what these courses taught me on the podcast today. Let me know what you think! 📙 Get Tom Ray's webcomic book "Then This Happened...

I didn't want to short-change the person I interviewed by releasing them on the two most preoccupied weekends.

I went down the rabbit hole of federation for posts that I'm doing.

I was gonna see if they needed help but it seems they just wanted to stop and look at something in traffic I guess?

I don't think I hardly ever drive the car without something playing in the background.

And the label was from a person named Maria.

It was really loud though. 😄

I feel I would have felt more silly if I explained it.

Each time I swear I've thought of everything then prove myself wrong. You can listen to the song on my band's website https://www.lorenzosmusic.com/2023/12/friction-world-by-lorenzos-music.html  

At least I think the person works there? Either way, I didn't have to do it.

At least it sounded normal on the recording that's what matters for now.

They walked into the backroom after that. I kinda wanted to know who they were texting so frantically.

I am surprised this is the first time that happened.

Sometimes when I first start a podcast call I find myself just thinking out loud.

I also found a cool swoopy effect thing to do when switching cameras.

Listen to the podcast on Apple Podcasts | Google Podcasts | Spotify | RSS Surrealist pop artist Lindsay Kovnat Davis talks about their evolution from animation to painting and their first major gallery show.

I couldn't look directly at it while I was in there.

It's funny since it was sent by a teacher I feel like they're giving me homework.
