Dave is funny, smart & asks some really great questions about the creative life. His guests are always interesting & real. As a creative myself, these conversations always make me think. The episode dated 1/14/20 is exceptionally thought provoking as lots of good issues were raised regarding art presence & social media.

Dave is funny and smart and insightful. When he talks it feels like he's every artist's best friend. And unlike a lot of others, he's actually got the cred to back up what he says. Great show!

As an artist/graphic designer in Long Beach I find a lot of things I can relate to on this podcast. As Dave likes to point out often, this is not a how-to, but a glimpse into the mind of an artist who's still figuring things out and taking us along on his journey. I appreciate that he doesn't sugar-coat his struggles and disappointments, but stays determined and positive in the face of them and finds motivation to continue his artistic pursuits. I love his rapport with Adam, and I like listening to them riff about all things Long Beach, including Donut Talk. When he has other guests on it's great too. Keep on keeping on, Dave!

Art Lessons feels like your just sitting with your art pals hanging and having good funny conversations about life and art.

As an artist I can very much relate to this podcast!Dave and his guests cover the aspects of running an art business but also how to stay creative and motivated. GREAT listen.

I love the Art Lessons podcast as Dave has a great voice to listen too and downright entertaining. I always learn something new and he keeps my art passions alive. Keep up the great show!

The great thing about Dave is that even though he calls them Art Lessons, they really apply for anyone who is creative in any way. Whether it's your business or your side hustle, his simple methods apply to them all. He's super smart, super helfpul, and generally fun to listen to. You won't be disappointed if you invest time in this one.

If you are looking for inspiration to move toward fearlessly creating art, despite equipment and excuses, this podcast is for you. Dave is constantly pushing forward with his art and vision (even as it changes) in a way that is inspiring and thought provoking. He charges his audience with the task to move beyond their limiting beliefs, excuses, or just plain laziness to DO THE WORK. He also offers practical advice for getting past our own hurdles, and external challenges, so we can get on with creating. Thanks Dave :)

I just listened to the first two episodes and what Dave has to say is really insightful and helpful when it comes to making it as a successful artist. I’d suggest it to all my artist friends, professionals and aspiring-to-be professionals alike. Seriously. If you’re looking for art-related advice from a person who’s experienced it and knows what they’re talking about, he’s your guy.
