Artist of the World Unite

I stumbled across this podcast looking for something that would be motivating for an artist like me who has come out of a drawing hiatus. Low and behold I found not only something that is motivating, but also something that keeps me laughing. I can truly relate to what these guys are saying - whether it’s about the frustration of people asking you to draw them if they see you drawing or even diving into new mediums. Not to mention their humor and retro talk is so spot on.
Being that I am starting episodes from the beginning and working my way up, I have a lot to catch up on. Keep up the content. 😊

Thank You!

Just wanted to say that stumbling upon this podcast has been such an uplifting and inspiring experience during my daily work commute, I very much look forward to starting my day with the expectation of hearing Ilias and Robert’s words of encouragement and adventures. And since I was born in 1986, I truly appreciate the retro vibe. I’ve also found myself singing their cool intro song too, lol! The episodes I’ve listened to so far have made me work my way out of a very long and arduous “creative block” stemming from fear and self doubt. I’ve felt lost in my own head for years, paralyzed by my own version of an “anti-hero” and hearing these two amazing guys pay tribute to the “true creative heroes” who dedicate their time to level up their artistic endeavors was the kick in the butt I needed. Thank you both for being awesome, and never stop sharing your wisdom and humor.

P.S. I love the Arnold Schwarzenegger moments! 😹

Listening while I work 🎧🔥🏆

This podcast is the weekly inspiration I didn’t know I needed. Ilias and Robert are original, charismatic, and clever. I especially enjoy their toolies segment. They also have an incredible Discord community where they do a bunch of group activities and have daily “mugshots” of creators with their mugs. Get it? 🤣 I tell everyone about this podcast You should too.
