I've been coming across a number of art-related podcasts recently. Some of them are new, some of them are done but you can still listen to the various episodes. I haven't listened to all of them, just episodes here and there, but here's as complete a list as I have at the moment, in no specific order:

• Once Upon a Sketch - interviews from the children's illustration market
• Chris Oatley's Artcast - interviews and art techniques
• Drawn Today - interviews and tips for aspiring illustrators
• Escape from Illustration Island - interviews with people from all sides of the creative industry
• Your Dreams, My Nighmares - Sam Weber interviews various people in the art industry
• Paper Wings Podcast - comic podcast
• Make it then Tell Everybody - interviewing comic artists. JUST discovered this, haven't listened yet

Do you know of any others? If so, leave a comment and let me know! I'm always in search of podcasts to listen to while creating art.

Tuesday I went to the last day of the Gallery Nucleus Society of Illustrators 
West Exhibit which was outstanding. This is a small amount of all the great art displayed. More artwork can be found on my blog: http://paulburrows.blogspot.com/2013/03/gallery-nucleus-society-of-illustrators.html

Tuesday I went to the Illustrating Modern Life: The Golden Age of American Illustration from the Gene Kelly Collection show at Pepperdine University with work from Rockwell, Leyendecker, Parrish, Wyeth and many more illustrators from 1880 - 1930. Its the museums 20th anniversary so they put on this awesome show. Such a great collection of work, I spent about an hour reading each plaque descriptions and studying each masterpiece, but I could have easily spent a whole day looking at it all. The short drive down there was great also with plenty of places to pull over and paint or draw nature and the University has a nice scenic view of the ocean, which makes for a very nice ether quick or daylong outing.
