Enter a thought-provoking exploration of creativity, connection, and the power of visual storytelling with acclaimed illustrator and art director Brian Thompson. With over two decades of experience spanning video games, book illustration, and visual development, Thompson brings a unique perspective on how art can bridge our increasingly divided world.

In an era dominated by short attention spans and digital distractions, Thompson reflects on storytelling's evolving role in culture. From its ancient origins as a tool for documenting events while making sense of our spiritual world to today's bite-sized content consumption, he articulates the profound shift in how we engage with narrative. 

Perhaps most moving is Thompson's reading of his poem "A Thousand Miles Apart," which beautifully explores how artists communicate beyond language barriers. The poem's imagery of two creators working through different approaches – one additive, one subtractive – speaks to the universal wellspring of creativity that connects us, despite our isolation.

Brian Thompson is passionate about teaching and the creative process.

Now more than ever, it’s tempting to throw our hands in the air and surrender to futility in the face of global strife. Storytellers know we must renew hope daily. We are being called upon to embrace our interconnectivity, transform paradigms, and trust the ripple effect will play its part. In the words of Lion King producer Don Hahn (Episode 8), “Telling stories is one of the most important professions out there right now.” We here at Language of the Soul Podcast could not agree more.

This podcast is a labor of love. You can help us spread the word about the power of story to transform. Your donation, however big or small, will help us build our platform and thereby get the word out. Together, we can change the world…one heart at a time!
