DroolFactory: Podcast #2: How to Do Art When You Don't Have Time

I know you have been eagerly awaiting this podcast. I know I have. It has been queued up for many weeks waiting to go live. So here it is, episode #2.

In this episode we talk about how to do art day to day when you don't have time. Mark shares how he uses a sketchbook and blob drawings to keep in practice while teaching his kids the joy of sketching. Scott shares his experiences moving from long term art pieces to pieces he can do in an evening.
