My Pizza Gandalf

I am so grateful for this podcast as a recently graduated illustrator who is feeling a bit lost and overwhelmed. Andy does such an incredible job at giving encouragement and advice. His words are so motivating and inspiring, and also just super comforting and relatable! The thing I love most about this podcast is that Andy is so genuine about both the ups and downs of a creative career. I’ve listened to great interviews with artists talk about their past trials, but as Andy himself has said, it’s hard to relate because at that point they are finished with that struggle, and are at a totally different stage than me. Andy keeps it so real, and truly remembers the different stages of his own path and reminds the listener that he understands and relates. He is open about his own ongoing struggles too. It is so unbelievably refreshing to me. Andy is also the wizard of analogies and I freaking love it! He makes things click and it’s just brilliant and super fun. This podcast always makes me laugh and gets me so excited to make new things and be the best creator I can be! Basically, I can’t express enough how much I adore this podcast. Thank you so, so much Andy!!!
