Welcome to a special preview episode of Thoughts on Illustration. At the end of last season, I wasn’t sure if this podcast would continue — but here I am. After a summer of reflection (and a little camping, surfing, and book work), I’m ready to share how Season 4 will look different.

This season I’m making changes to keep the podcast sustainable for me and more valuable for you. Season 4 officially begins on September 9 with the first monologue episode.

IN THIS PREVIEW

• Updates from my summer: working on my book Drawing is Important (out early 2026), teaching, and new class prep
• Why I nearly quit the podcast — and what convinced me to keep going
• The 3 key shifts for Season 4
• New Patreon perks: quarterly Q&A sessions, monthly Draw With Me, and access to every episode
