Taking a break
As the title says, I am taking a break from podcasting. I thought it would be possible to make tutorials on Blender Guru and run Poliigon, and do a regular podcast. But it’s not. Or at least it’s not possible to do well.
I had to admit to myself, that if I wanted to give the most value to the most amount of people it would be to make tutorials not podcasts.
So I don’t know for how long this break will be, and to be totally honest it’s possible that this might not return. I don’t know if my career goals will favor podcasting again, but if it does, this is where I will post it.
Follow Blender Guru on Youtube or Poliigon at Poliigon.com if you’d like to see where my time is going.
Thank you for supporting the show, and thank you for listening to the all the amazing guests we’ve had in the last few years.

#1: Habits of Effective Artists (Revisited)
In 2016 I presented "The Habits of Effective Artists" at the Blender conference, which to my surprise went viral! Today it has just shy of 3 Million views on Youtube.
Well I re-watched the talk in 2020 (with four years more experience under my belt) and changed my mind on a few things. In this episode I'll share which habits aren't applicable to beginners, and what I'd replace them with.
And if you haven't seen the original talk, don't worry: I go through each habit first so you can consume this as is a standalone episode.
Podcast Trailer
The Andrew Price Podcast is for artists who want to level up. I'll talk about ways that you can solve problems like burnout, coming up with ideas, getting feedback, and hard questions like should you go to art school?
Beginners and professionals welcome! There's something for everyone.
