THE MADD PENCILER
The Madd Penciler is the name of someone  who is so hardcore into pencil art, that he's become mad!

Also known as Wayman, The Madd Penciler came to one of my Tattoo talks at the Central Branch of the Atlanta Library System many years ago and we became art friends right away.

We stuck together for a year or two and I have seen The Madd Penciler build an art career with a community fans and art collectors as everyone who's come across his art, is immediately hooked into the blue pencil line work of his drawings and now into the line work of his tattoo ink.

And don't forget, ProScale Models. look it up!

​Welcome to the new and revamped version of the classic Art is King podcast.

The Art Is King podcast will feature artists, entrepreneurs, business coaches and bring back many of our former guests to share their knowledge, expertise and resources to give us all insight into the ways we can find our own personal success with our talents.
​
Stay tuned for fresh episodes:
Art Is King on Substack. 
​

One of the biggest issues facing the creative future is Ai and the Electronic Frontiers Forums was present at this year's Dragon Con in Atlanta, GA to share a bit of what we should expect coming soon. 

Dragon Con is the biggest convention in the South East featuring pop culture, fiction and fantasy, gaming, comics, art, music and tons of creators showing off the most amazing art and goods in five days during the Labor Day weekend. whew! 

Our focus when visiting Dragon Con, is the Art Life of the creatives who invest their time and resources in promoting their art wares, sharing their cosplay creations and building community with like minded creatives. 

This year we visited the Comics and Pop Artist Alley, The Art Show and caught up with the future of the arts where the focus was the advent of Ai, the metaverse, Web3 and NFTs. 

The biggest takeaway in the conversations: keep creating and enjoy the experience for now.

catching up with Wade Acuff for a short drawing session 

the atmosphere of Dragon Con is electrifying! 

comics and pop artist alley is where I spend all of my budget.

Electronic Frontiers Forum at Dragon Con, tackling the ethics, responsibilities and creative rights of the Metaverse. 

Great advice and resources from the panel of professional artists as they share their own experience.

and the best part of Dragon Con: the artists who make the experience with their talents and skills. Arts! 

SOMEONE WILL EARN WITH YOUR ART
Day 3 - #FocusOnYourAGame Live Streaming Challenge

DTM, it looks like you're always making art, posting, streaming and promoting  yourself. Are you selling art?

Imagine a hundred years ago you drew Mickey Mouse for fun, and now there multiple amusement parks across the world and a collection of franchises earning billions!
Imagine you drew a monkey for an NFT series and now that collection is bringing in a Billion dollars in one year's time.

Now imagine you do not get any of the profits.
I am in the business of art ever i since I heard that artists can get paid for their work.

I want to draw for fun/ded projects that fund my lifestyle and allow me the chance to provide for my family. That means I will promote my skills, use internet tools to market my talents and negotiate my pay rate that my art deserves.

Respect yourself.
Respect your talent
If you don't earn with your art, then someone else will.

Start where you Are Now.
​
I have collected different tools and gear these past few years. I slowly added a tool or two to my streaming setup as I realized some of my tools were faling a bit short. My first microphone was just the basic mic in an iPhone. My first camera was an iPhone 4. When I was recording the Art is King podcast, I used an android app and had several cheap android phones to capture audio.

We start with the tools we have right now. Master these tools. Then slowly buy the next tool that will get you the audio and video quality to the next level. Slowly level up, it is not a race.
