Steve Roggenbuck is an American video poet who’s most famous for his youtube videos, which really have to be seen to be believed. They’re feature mostly self-recorded footage of Steve walking through the snow, the desert, a park, his house, a party, and talking / yelling directly to camera. I remember finding his videos in the dead of night, while I was tooling around on my computer, procrastinating from work, and just feeling like I’d been dropped into a confusing, amazing, uplifting, and very weird part of the internet.
In this interview we talk about learning to be frugal, Steve’s unshakeable belief in himself, and why you should learn from tech bros about content marketing.

This week we've got a rebroadcast of an episode from the other podcast I make, Being Honest With My Ex, about quitting my job, imposter syndrome, and how you definitely don’t have the same amount of hours in the day as Beyonce.
Being Honest With My Ex is basically a weekly personal journal that I’ve been keeping with my ex-fiance for the past two years, and has ended up documenting each of our journeys of trying to make the art + money equation work for ourselves. If Starving Artist is the documentary series on making a living creatively, then Being Honest With My Ex is basically the live stream version. It’s the very up close, very intimate, the ugly-crying account of trying to make it work.
Buy tickets to the upcoming Being Honest With My Ex LIVE shows here. You can find the podcast at beinghonestwithmyex.com, and if you're looking for somewhere to start, check out the new listener guide.

This week we’ve got the second part of the interview I did with Sarah Firth, and this one is some straight up #realtalk about how money works. The first five minutes we talk about maneuvering in your creative career, the next five, Sarah gives me the low down on her best resources for getting in control of your money, and then the following 40 minutes is some down the line truths about financial literacy. Things like how to get interested in money, how to work out how much to charge for your work, how to make a budget, and why you should absolutely definitely look at your finances, even if it means breaking your own heart in the process.

This week on Starving Artist we've got a bonus episode for you! It’s not a traditional episode where I convince an artist I admire to tell me all their secrets, instead it’s a behind the scenes look at Starving Artist told through a conversation with a good friend of mine, Audrey, who interviewed me for the NAVA: in conversation podcast.
In this interview, we talk about where the idea for Starving Artist came from, my next project - The Big Feels Club, and why I regularly consider studying medicine instead of making art.
The NAVA: in conversation podcast is a podcast about the issues and challenges of working in the arts (very on theme), you can find it on iTunes or at their website.

When I recorded this weeks interview with freelance writer Bri Lee, she had a lot going on. She'd just quit her stable law job to become a freelance writer, and in the two months prior had won a fellowship, scored a literary agent, and was in the middle of shopping around her first manuscript to a small pile of publishing houses. I had no damn idea how one goes about selling their first book, but Bri was kind enough to sit down with me and school me on the ins and outs of book advances, asking naive questions, and leveraging interest in your work.

Frances Cannon is a full-time artist, body positivity activist, and Instagram queen. I've watched Frances' work explode online over the past few years, and I sat at home thinking "what does your life look like when that happens?" Fortunately Frances was kind enough to answer that question for me when I interviewed her a few months ago. We talked about going #viral, selling your work online, and preparing yourself for the fact that Instagram might not be around forever.

This is just a little update to let y'all know two things: 1) Starving Artist is changing it's upload time to 6pm Wednesdays AEST (Australian Eastern Standard Time) so it'll be ready for your mid-week commute. And 2) I'm starting a new segment where I try to answer your art + money questions! Instead of me answering though I'm trying to find the smartest person I can think of to answer your conundrums. Honestly I'm already in awe of who's been willing to answer your questions, and so I'm really excited to see where this will go. If you want to ask a question you can @ me (@honor_eastly) or Starving Artist (@starveart) on Twitter with the hashtag #AskAnArtist, and I'll see what I can do.

Last year Peter launched a Kickstarter for his first board game, Scuttle! Which raised 3000% over it’s initial goal, and made $87,000. He then followed that up by releasing another game through Kickstarter later that year that made $89,000.
In this episode we talk at length about the trials and tribulations of Kickstarter, what it’s like to run your own company, and how to survive outside of the approval loop.

Wendy is the editor at i-D, a subsidiary of VICE, and basically the most bad-ass boss I know. She’s a nuanced, emotionally intelligent hustler, but she wasn’t always this way. A few years back she went through the process of asking for a raise. A big one. Along the way, she learned a lot about the art of negotiation, how much this stuff matters at your 10 year high school reunion, and just how hard it is to work out how much you’re worth.

Five years ago Tom Dickins did something that many people would find stupid: on the back of advice from his friend Amanda Palmer, he decided to quit his job and, without savings, live off his art. He had no plan, no idea, but a lot of enthusiasm and resourcefulness.
This week you'll hear him reflect on that decision, what worked, what didn't, and whether he'll ever be able to buy a house.
