  1. Two Creative Guys Talk Shopify and Viruses

    You may know that I use Shopify for my web presence. Well, Adam does as well, and he's been doing it longer than me. I had some people ask me about my thoughts about certain aspects of the e-commerce platform, but since I don't know nearly as much as I should, I decided to bring Adam in to talk...

  2. Rethinking the gallery experience, with Amy Stock

    Although there are many artists who would publicly say they don't care about not having gallery representation, and prefer the independence of going it on their own, several (if not all) of those artists would privately be ecstatic if they could get into a gallery. I am one of those. Amy Stock…

    This conversation with Adam is a good one. I finally get a chance to revisit my experience with Tik Tok. We also talk about serendipitous situations that can sometimes lead to unexpected outcomes. And of course, there is coffee talk. Visit Adam Visit Dave Music by Neko Fuzz and Barbasauce

  8. It's a social media breakdown

    Adam is back in the open-air studio, absent of squirrels and helicopters, but chock full of hot content about social media, selling product, and much more.

  9. Do NOT Sleep on Tik Tok

    You may or may not know what Tik Tok is, but you should definitely get educated. Maybe you shy away from social media in general, but I can assure you that this platform is the most important thing that's happened in social since Instagram, and I explain my point of view completely in this…

  10. Sometimes the planets don't align

    Sorry folks, this is not your regularly scheduled program. Adam and I wanted to bang out a new episode, but things didn't work out that way.

  11. Top 10 Creative Cowboys That Changed My Career

    The other day I found myself looking through the Instagram profiles of a couple more popular artists, and wondering how they had such a significant amount more followers than I do.

  16. Adam drinks my coffee and drops knowledge bombs

    Stop making the art business so much more complicated that it needs to be, Dave. That’s the voice in my head when I hear some of the reality checks that Adam drops on me this time around. It’s another rousing conversation about selling success tips.

  17. 5 Ways to Fight Mercury Retrograde

    Here's the much anticipated continuation of my conversation with Adam and his thoughts on how to run a successful handmade art show.

  22. No business like show business

    It wasn’t without some serious wrangling that I finally got Adam back into the Open Air Studio to talk about work and stuff. Of course, knowing us, there’s a lot of “stuff” before we get into the work, but I promise you, there’s a lot of valuable creative business conversation.

  23. Presence and Being Present

    YES! It’s back. Art Lessons returns from hiatus, and in this episode, I talk about all the things that I discovered about myself and my work while on break. There’s a lot of good things to discuss, so let’s get into it.

  24. Season 4 Finale
