Sam Weber's sidebar interview. I've already mentioned Sidebar a number of times...for good reason. It's a treasure of information through interviews with great artists talking about their work and creative journeys.

Definitely check their other interviews with guys such as Brad Holland and Sterling Hundley

Listen.

Greatness

I love it when I find these things.
The great Bobby Chiu on youtube, podcasts, demos, and great advice.
I think these clips are a little taste of his "Schoolism" program in which he teaches and gives advice to people who are in or want to be in the biz.

check it

his sidebar nation interview was a an interesting listen as well. listen here.
