[upbeat music] This is not an ad, it's a gift. I'm going to be at the Icon Illustration Conference this year in July doing a handful of different things, and I asked them if they could give me a discount for the listeners of this show because I would love to see you there and hang out at the after parties and whatnot. And they let me have a $100 discount, uh, to share with you, which is just so generous and so awesome. If you're an illustrator, I highly recommend going to Icon. It's been a magical experience the times that I've gone. Even the first time in 2014 that I went, it was a very scary leap, but so worth it. Go to icon.creativepeptalk.com to learn more. The discount is automatically applied to that link. icon.creativepeptalk.com. Hope to see you there. [upbeat music] Are you afraid of making art? I get it. I get like that sometimes. Sometimes it can be scary. Like, I remember when I was a kid, I would just make art. I wasn't even thinking about it. I was just having a blast just blowing through stuff. And then the further I go in my creative practice, the more afraid that I seem to be. And that's why today I am thrilled to have Austin Kleon on the show with his new book, Don't Call It Art. If you're afraid of making art, don't call it art, make some stuff. And we had an absolute blast chatting. This guy is so full of creative wisdom, and I'm so inspired by his enthusiasm around creativity and play
