Episode: Lynda Barry
Pub date: 2019-10-28

Notes from The Listener:

Interview with a cartoonist about how to draw. She speaks both on a practical level about her working habits, but also in a more general sense about the mindset required to put ink on paper and then put the resulting out for publication and public consumption. Self doubt is incredibly damaging to the process, she says, and she examines here the idea that whether a drawing is good or not is really “none of my business”. Barry is also a recent recipient of a MacArthur genius grant, and explains that the foundation had to phone her seven times with the good news because she thought it was a robocall

On this episode cartoonist Lynda Barry talks about learning how to draw, and the damaging effects of one’s own opinion.
