How to Make Art in a Pandemic with Liz Climo

Samara chats with the internationally beloved cartoonist and The Simpsons artist about how to be creative when the world is a mess and we’re not in the mood to make things that are optimistic or silly or beautiful. They discuss where ideas come from, how to overcome a work culture that doesn’t take you seriously, the surprise impact Dungeons & Dragons had on her career, and how to become your own best cheerleader after a lifetime of playing small.   Host: Samara Bay Executive producers: Catherine Burt Cantin & Mark Cantin, Double Vision doublevisionprojects.com Producers: Samara Bay, Sophie Lichterman and the iHeart team Theme music: Mark Cantin   Follow Liz at @lizclimo on IG and thelittleworldofliz.com Follow @nayyirah.waheed & #nayyirahwaheed Follow @lizzobeating (duh) Liz’s shop is at society6.com/lizclimo For more info on honoring native lands go to usdac.us/nativeland  ****How're you sounding these days?
