Talking Cartooning for a Daily Comic with Leigh Rubin
Description
This week, Leigh Rubin, creator of the daily comic RUBES, talks about the challenge of creating something new every day and how you can’t wait for inspiration when your mortgage is dependent on it. He breaks down his process of daily action which he says is necessary to deliberately develop a creative practice. We discuss constructing an idea to achieve maximum impact and minimum verbiage: a balance between keeping an idea fresh and working it to death. To stand out amount the noise, Leigh muses about finding ways around the established systems and gatekeepers, and how there are no rules to getting your work in front of the people who need to see it. Lastly, we dig into the patience required when chasing your dream and not exhausting yourself because the world isn’t moving at your expected pace.
