In this episode I discuss my thought's on what the essence of talent really is. Many people say they have no talent especially in relation to drawing. Through the acronym D.A.P. I explore why I think everyone can have "talent" if they want to.

This episode is a quicky where ironically I kind of go against what I said in my last podcast about goals being wierd and I list off my goals for 2013. Oh well guess that proves I'm human lol. 

Funny thing is since I recorded this podcast I've already changed my mind a little on how I'm approaching the new year again! But you'll have to wait for the next episode for that ;)

Us creative types make stuff and most of us would also like to have people see, enjoy and share our work as well. If you are in that category then the best way to get more people to get involved is by being awesome!!! lol In this episode I discuss this idea as well as intentionally inspiring yourself along with the usual updates.

Get ready for another journal cast! In this episode I discuss my plans for the coming year. I want to have my goals a little more well defined so I can be prepared to make a running start for 2013 assuming the world doesn't end this year ;)

Also I announce a contest running this week only where you can possibly win a free Sketch Card! All you have to do is sign up or already be signed up to the PlexHop Crew Letter and you may be one of 3 lucky people who will be randomly picked to recieve a free sketch card with the character of your choice by yours trully!!!

In this episode I start up with my struggles with conceptualizing illustration work for clients as apposed to doing it for yourself. I end the mini topic with a call to action for any advice in this area from many of you who are more experienced in this area.

For the larger topic I continue to discuss sale's fundementals with the example of selling comics focusing on the principle of "building rapport, or building trust". Any additional ideas on how we can do this with comics is very welcome! Feel free to comment below or email me at Plex@PlexHop.com 

Also there's still time to get a Free Sketch Card you can pick up at the show or get online with a purchase of a convention style sketch available until the day of the show Oct 20th. Don't miss out!
