Tonight, we’re joined by special guest Joey Cofone, co-founder of Baronfig and author of The Laws of Creativity: Unlock Your Originality and Awaken Your Creative Genius which comes out on October 18, 2022. Joey talks to us about how he turned his belief that creativity is not magic, it’s a skill that needs to be practiced. We discuss some universal truths — or laws — to creative work, and how he pulled them together into a book.Show notes and linksErasable PatreonBaronfigPre-Order The Laws of CreativityJoey on Erasable, Ep. 62 and Ep. 74Our GuestJoey CofoneJoeyCofone.comBaronfig.comYour HostsJohnny  GamberPencil Revolution@pencilutionAndy WelfleWoodclinched@awelfleTim Wasem@TimWasem

This week, we kick off a multi-episode discussion about creativity, and in particular, books about creativity and the creative process. Today, we’re discussing what we look for in such books: Do we want practical tips? Do we want to be inspired? Maybe a little of both?Show Notes and LinksErasable PatreonBright (Kiki Petrosino)What do Do When Someone DiesPetty: The BiographyThe WayWatchhouse (Duo)Tomorrow and Tomorrow and TomorrowMachines Like MeLaws of Creativity by Joey CofoneMake Good ArtRon Carlson Writes a StoryThe Messy MiddleYour HostsJohnny  GamberPencil Revolution@pencilutionAndy WelfleWoodclinched@awelfleTim Wasem@TimWasem

Being ecologically-minded citizens of the world, we don't like the idea of just throwing away perfectly good paper and pencils. This is especially salient this time of year, when kids are bringing home piles of stuff from their desks and lockers. Tune in this week for a discussion of what to do with all that material.Show Notes and LinksErasable PatreonDr. Strange and the Multiverse of MadnessDreams Bigger Than HeartbreakDon’t Go Without Me James Patterson is a F---ing A$$holePetty: The Biography, American HeartbreakTalk Easy PodcastVan der ValkThe Paris LibraryBig Ole’ PencilSketch Kits on Pencil RevolutionNo More Pencils, No More Books: The School’s Out Issue of Pencil RevolutionYour HostsJohnny  GamberPencil Revolution@pencilutionAndy WelfleWoodclinched@awelfleTim Wasem@TimWasem
