I never intended to watch the whole thing as two hours is a pretty significant commitment with all the demands for our time these days but once your dad started telling his story I was completely captivated. What an interesting and inspiring man. So much wisdom and so much heart. Thanks for sharing him with us. It was two hours very well spent. Now I have to go paint that crab again.
Me too‼️loved this interview . Thank you both so very much. Your Dad for his honest transparency & you Andrew ( my fav portrait etc...canvas artist for your video rendition savvy!!
Okay, Andrew, we now all know where you get your CAPTIVATING personality!!! Your dad is AWESOME! In all the interesting, wise, motivational things your dad had to say, I couldn't get over the look of love and admiration on your face for this uber-talented artist, your father. I LOVE your podcasts and what an honor for both father and son to be part of each other's extraordinary lives and careers. God bless you and your family always. Keep these podcasts!!!
Thanks so much Angela. Yeah, I'm pretty proud of the guy. He's achieved so much but he's made this life possible for me by showing me his example. I will continue to try to help others in the same spirit of what he's done for me.
As a zoologist who eventually became a filmmaker and artist, I can so easily relate to your Dad's experience in terms of finding a market. Opportunity, talent, skill, determination and a little good luck seem to be involved across the board ... sculpture, film making and art. I thoroughly enjoyed this two-way chat between two artistically gifted men. And yes, remembering someone's name, whether after a few days or several years can have a huge impact and says so much about you and your relationship with the world at large. A great experience from both of you. Thank you so much.
I am seeing this 3 years later, but was fascinated listening to your dad. The phrase"just DO IT" seems to fit in with where I am in my life,at age 72. Thank you both
Smart dad, smart son. Impressive the way Mr. Tischler approached potential clients to end up with 150 zoos under his belt and so true, " If you have to hold your own feet to fire, perhaps it's not your calling. "
An 1:21 into it and the business dimension takes a different perspective. This video is entertaining, evocative storytelling, a moment of historical context, art business. It works on so many levels. It is just so special.
2 hours of watching and listening to remember -for me anyway- the last phrase of your dad's story. Do it, do and do it over and over again. Practice makes perfect. Thanksto both of you.
What a wonderful man and how truly blessed you are to have such an inspirational father and male figure in your life. Blessings to you both for all that you do to encourage all of us in our "creative art endeavors".
Lovable Daddy who makes easier to understand the son’s artistic competence and so complex concepts in art world in a simple way. Thanks for sharing, Andrew.
Loved your dad, more than 35 years later I still remember knowing him and his advice, a great man, very lucky to have known him and spent time around him, still have some of his pieces.
I have heard the same basic info a million times before about building a business model, pricing, etc. But I could hug your dad for actually explaining it in a way that doesn't sound dirty or scheming or greedy. I appreciate his inclusion and emphasis on providing the best product he is able to at the time to meet the customer's need. So often that is missing in the business discussion. Absolutely brilliant and I am forever grateful to you for inviting your father to share his sage wisdom with us! On a side note, I recognize some of your facial expressions in this video. Mostly because I make very similar expressions when my parents interact with my friends, especially when there is a story involved. ;)
Hat's off to Mr. Tischler, what an amazing and inspiring life! Finally a podcast with a seasoned artist who really shows you how a full life can be lived to bring you wonderful art. Thank you Andrew, please continue on this trend, it's so inspiring! If only I would have been able to listen to this when I was in secondary school my life as an artist would have been so different. Never to late, I hear you say, but it kind of is. I love Mr. Tom Tischler, absolute class gentleman! Thank you for sharing!
Wow, I just looked at Tom's website and I am in awe of his work! The large Komodo dragon is outstanding! I kinda like how he hasn't updated his website, it's refreshing to see someone so absorbed in their work without caring so much about their public image. The work just speaks for itself!
Speaking as both a family historian and artist, I absolutely LOVED this interview (it's something you, Andrew, will treasure forever). I couldn't take my eyes off the rhinoceros on the shelf behind your dad! Keep up the great work -- your podcasts are awesome!
Yeah like Ed Tucker...2 hours is a long time but I started the pod cast as I was painting in my studio thinking that I would end up turning it off or skipping through to get some snippets that I was interested in. But I found that I just had to keep listening to your Dad...very interesting person. I had to laugh a few times about some of his comments that rang true to me also ...and also at the relationship between father and son. Great stuff Andrew...made for a very enjoyable painting session.
Wow, if it wasn't for Mr Tom's uncle, your dad would not have gone to Europe, meet your mom, and go after his dreams. Even through a disagreement occurred bleesings were made. Thanks for sharing Andrew. Your dad is amazing.
I love your Dad. I have learned a lifetime of actionable art marketing in two hours and 21 minutes. I so admire how he did not remain stationary, but instead kept moving forward, taking action in deploying his creativity in whatever was at hand - your mother as well. I appreciate this podcast/video so very much, for many reasons. Ideas, memories and insight was set aflame while watching and I am so thankful you and your Dad are so kind to share on this level. I am immensely grateful he chose the road less taken, as Robert Frost wrote, and "that made all the difference". Thank you!
What a special person to have as your mentor.He is truly an inspiration for "keep on doing" everyday., you will be the best YOU every time. . THANK YOU TOM
Andrew, I have been hoping you would do this. I can't even begin to say how impacting this is. Thank you and thanks for this video of lives. We love you in Texas.
Talk about wisdom!! Such an admirable lifetime devotion to creating and thriving through untiring work at his impassioned craft! This was a valuable couple of hours for me; Thank you very much for sharing your very interesting story, Sincerely, Joyce
Excellent interview, Andrew. Being an artist also from Austin I recognize your Dad's attitude and determination (and accent). This was a very different place in the late 60's and he did well getting away and forging a new life. That said, in reference to his crab comment at the end I'll also add something I heard years ago, 'Great art is never finished, it's merely abandoned.' Thanks again for your insightful videos.
What a wonderful dad, Thank you very much for giving this opportunity to meet him. It was very nice to hear his life/work experience. Very inspiring, Thanks again you both !!!
What a wonderful interview! It was nice to watch reciprocal pride at work...and your Dad is someone I could listen to for hours! Down to earth, and real. Just like you Andrew.
Absolutely loved this conversation. The shared knowledge of a lifetime of experience. I valued the insight and truth. As I have watched many of your videos, I appreciate the stories you weave into your lessons. Especially the references to what your dad taught you.
This was enlightening! Ty to your Dad and ty! He said something incredibly important about passion and being obsessed and compulsive. I’m a beginner painter but for years my passion was knitting! Once I started to paint I kept saying I have to get back to my knitting and a year later I still haven’t and it worried me until I heard your father’s words! I am obsessed with painting, I love it so much! Thank you to your Dad for releasing me from the conflict between knitting and painting!
Andrew thank you for connecting the true side of art with wisdom! No wonder you are an amazing artist, you are lucky to have experienced Mr Tischler senior.
Wow this is amazing. I learned to paint by watching my great grandfather drawing when I was 5yrs of age, he was also a sculptor learning from his dad (my great great grandfather). That is so awesome having the same gift as your dad. God bless you both
I must also say that throughout the interview, I could see and feel the pride, joy and admiration reflected on your face..... At times, you went red hahaha.... A great dad and son combination
Andrew, That interview with your father is simply a treasure!! I learned so much. You are so blessed with such an Awesome mentor. Thank you for sharing your treasure with all of us.
Thank you Andrew. Very inspiring. Your dad is God's gift for grooming you to what you are today. Loved to listen to listen to your Dad, great indepth from a person who has watched things closely and got inspired from them. Great things to learn by only listening.
Wonderful! Good to 'meet' your dad! What a great example you had as a mentor growing up. Sometimes we have no idea who our parents are until we have the perspective of age and experience! What a gift! I look forward to more of your podcasts! Thanks!
What a treasure for you and for us to listen to someone who has been there. Good advice at the end. Now I know why you prep for your paintings over and over again. Doing the grunt work leads to a better reward at the end. That will preach!
Andrew, you are a Knight in shinning armor to me! Not in the romantic sense, but as a fellow artist! This episode was SO great, that I had to watch it AGAIN and AGAIN [as Tom advises]- my third time today, while I practiced my drawings. This was incredibly insightful, full of wisdom and exactly what I needed to hear- the truth of the real work it takes to be an acclaimed artist. Wow! I especially love the stories your dad shared about his journey through Europe. I love his moral ethics, too...referring to the “Uncle you may know”. Moreover, I can not thank you enough for your perseverance to bring these podcasts to your fellow artists; it is invaluable, priceless education that brings our global community together. Please tell your dad Thank You, too. As hard as it may be for him to understand UA-cam and the tech world, there’s a massive need for his wisdom. My father, Dudley Kendall, before he went blind, was an accomplished painter and very much like Tom- near the wilderness and likes to live simply. My brother, Rex Covington, is also a sculptor, though with ice [www.LAiceart.com] in CA. They are both old schoolers and I can certainly relate very well to how you grew up with an artistic family- it’s a never ending venture to keep growing and learning, ‘being prepared to do it again and again’. Bravo, Sir!
The world is apparently a very small place. My kids have played in, on, and around the elephant sculpture and the gorilla sculpture in Dallas. Please tell your dad thank you for letting kids play while they learn.
Its wonderful you still have your father around. My father was an absolutely amazing artist, there's been so many times I wish he was still here, so I can just say... "Hey Daddy, how do you do this?" That's my only regret about my artwork.... I waited too late to come back around to it, by the time I did, I was losing my father. Cherish those moments as long as you can.
I met Tom in the late 80s at zoo conferences and fell head over heels in love. He will always be for me the ‘one who got away’ and it’s an absolute delight to see and hear him again. Thank you.
It always helps me as a 'new' oil painter when I've approached something a particular way, and then it gets reinforced after the thought by someone with years of experience and success. I found after I THINK my paintings are complete, I wanna change "this" or change "that" and "oh, I couldve done it this way" after watching one of your videos. Then it gets to a point that I want to do it completely over from scratch but feel then Im regurgitating more of the same. Thank your father for me please.... as I now know, thats what some of the best have done and its ok for me to do this and trust my own instincts. THANK YOU SO MUCH for this video!
I so enjoyed this podcast Andrew as I have enjoyed all of your podcasts, this was especially awesome, father and son. So much great information you are so inspirational and I see where you got it. God Bless you and your father.
Thoroughly enjoyed listening. Mr Tischler is no doubt a true Texan. In his speech and his mannerism. He s captures your attention easily. His life is impressive. Really enjoyable time spent listening.
Wonderful interview, love the interaction of yourself and your dad, very touching!! As an aspiring sculptor I've learned so much today .... will be researching and following you both. Thanks for doing these podcasts Andrew, you've opened up the art universe and are showing us the most interesting inhabitants!! Lots to think about and try, so fascinating..... plus informative. Sometimes you say things that I've experienced such as seeing something so beautiful it must be painted for the experience of touching all the nuances of it (or words to that effect) so thanks, yup, my kind of people.... wonderful podcasts and blogs, so appreciated!!
Your father is one of the most impressive artists I've listened to in a long time. The old school persistence, intelligence and personal responsibility are so inspiring. His final remarks are consistent with how he relays his practical approach to his art career. A Texan trait!
After almost a week, I picked up this podcast from where I left it. This time I watched until 1:20 AM and could not stop listening. What a mine of wisdom! But also what a special person your father is. I realized also that only after one hour and thirty five minutes you are addressing the title of video: "what does the old school has to teach to the new school?" Again, thank you for this invaluable lesson!
Such an interesting interview Andrew. Thank you for sharing. Bless your father, such a strong personality with big dreams and determination.An amazing artist as well.
I packed you and your dad around with me today while I painted and cleaned house and played with my dogs and fed my dogs and cooked dinner for my husband, I loved listening to your dad and to you, thank you Andrew and Tom.
Hi AT What a broadcast! A video I could not release until I had seen it finished. Your dad is an awesome narrator and that of hearing about his great courage, ingenuity and drive through his career as an artist, was a great pleasure. Thank him for his openness and thank you for showing this wonderful video.
This is your best interview to date. Your father is an amazing man with a wonderful self-made story. Such wonderful adventures he had while perfecting his process and business model. I especially liked his descriptions of the lessons learned with each phase, and what he changed to make things work better. Serious artists, and entrepreneurs of every level will be able to take away valuable lessons from this discussion. Thank you Andrew and Tom!
I love how you interviewed your father! It’s so inspiring to know how supportive your father is and how talented both your parents are. I pray your families legacy will always carry on! We need people who are passionate like you and your father and mother. ❤️🔥❤️🔥❤️🔥❤️🔥❤️🔥❤️🔥❤️🔥 please let your father know how inspiring he is to me! 🤗🤗🤗🤗
Wonderful life story, I'm in awe, so many valuable lessons to learn from this hardworking, creative individual and his your Dad! I'll be so proud! I could listen to him from hours ....Wow!
I have one of your father’s sculptures. 2/50. It’s a ram on a cliff. It caught my eye today because I don’t see it often (it was at my dad’s). I noticed it said “Billy” Tom Tischler on it and my heart stopped because I’m greatly inspired by Andrew. I’m a paint and sip “instructor” and I paint oils mainly at home with a great deal of help from Andrew’s videos. So, thank you and your family for being a part of my life and bringing me and my family so much art and inspiration. Also, now it’s at my house haha
What an incredible life story to have the pleasure to listen to. Your dad is so enormously talented and resourceful. It's easy to see that the apple did not fall far from the tree. Loads of talent, discipline, motivation, generosity, and work ethic runs in your family for sure. Thank you so much for sharing this wonderful story and many words of wisdom with us.
This video was absolute gold. I learnt great tips from your father. I cannot sufficiently describe how thankful i am to you for making this video and helping other struggling artists learn from older and more experienced artists. And having someone like your father teach and mentor you and then you sharing that privilege with us means a great deal to us. Especially since most of us didnt grow up with figures like him around us and could really use the guidance. Again thanks alot for all your time and effort.
What an inspirational interview! A two-hours well spent. I could keep listening for another two hours. You are so blessed to have that drive and inspiration from him ❤️
I am so impressed and intrigued by your work... I've been an artist since I could pick up a pencil and I actually learned something new about mixing color, which is burnt umber and ultramarine blue ratio instead of using black... awesome.
Great interview! It's amazing how the things we encounter shape what we do in our lives. Andrew's Dad first used art as an expression as a youngster, then was exposed to animals through his father's veterinary profession - then architecture in college, selling art while traveling and then finally in Africa, sculpture. What a fantastic life story. Mind blowing and totally inspirational! Andrew was exposed to incredible parents. It's no wonder he is the amazingly, talented artist he is. It's in his DNA.
Your dad's awesome :) I can see what he's saying in my life too. I think it's the way of the creative mind. We take things we learn/observe (either related to art or not) and we transfer the essence onto art (or whatever we're working on). I think the more we learn/read/experience the more we carry into our art and our ability to do this is what we call talent. The rest is practice.
kept thinking...I can’t wait to read this guy’s biography...what an incredible life...Imagine to have all those works of incredible art, punctuated with a son as gifted and high functioning as you! Sheesh. On the gallery issue, over the years I have dealt with a few galleries as a patron. I love galleries as you can see exactly what you are purchasing and it is always better than online. I must say, the last gallery I dealt with, I loved, I purchased 5 wonderful works over the years from them but, BUT...they never once remembered my name. After thinking about that after my final purchase, I felt somehow...hanging, if you know what I mean. Andrew Tischler, you should create a gallery, you know how people like to be treated...just like a person. Thanks again, love the Kelly Foss Creative Endeavour as well!
Finally, a creative endeavor I can watch completely. Good one Andrew. Thank you. I'm not an artist so I watch you because of you. To meet the man who is a big part of who you are really interest me. Thank you again for this conversation.
Just wanted to tell you thanks for doing what you do. I have watched a number of your tutorials and have learned so much in a short time. But this one here with your dad spoke to me. Thank him for sharing his story. I loved it and it spoke to me. Its not easy to see destiny when its front of you but in retrospect his life looks like it was destiny. But that would erase all of the hard work, the gutsiness of walking into a store to sell his art, or the shear balls of going to the museum in Switzerland and demanding a job. Carpe Diem...seize the day...make your own destiny is my take away. I'm sure Ill comment more and some day share my art with you. Today I just want you both to know that at least one person in the world is thankful that you exist and is praying for you future. God bless.
As a beginning artist listening to your Dad talk about doing your art over again and again made me realize that I quit too soon and allow myself to be discouraged too easily. I plan on writing that in large letters on the wall of my little studio. Thank you Andrew for sharing your Dad with us.
This was a great interview with your dad! He had some wonderful insights and wisdom that he imparted that I took personally and I'm sure to a lot of the young artists out there trying to make a living with their art. Old school but successful school!
Dear Mr. Tischler, (Tom) Referring to the out dated website...(From one Texas artist to another) "If it ain't BROKE don't fix it!" I refuse to use social media to sell my work, even though many tell me I should. I prefer face to face contact with people. My first sale was a private showing in a tiny museum in our small town, I was invited to a proverbial wine tasting by the museum to show my work. A woman didn't have cash that night, so she came to where I lived and paid cash for it the next day. I will never forget her name. Thank you for sharing your expertise, it is very nice of you sharing with us. God bless you and keep you safe.
Thank you so much, Andrew, for this most inspiring video talking with your father about art! How very special!! i am exhausted as there was so much to take in. Thanks again.
This was my second time watching this episode, and I just realized my husband and I have seen probably a dozen of your dad’s sculptures in person (one of which my husband has fond memories of climbing on as a child: the Komodo Dragon). Amazing wisdom and a truly fascinating story and life. Thank you for producing the podcast and videos on your channel; they’re always refreshing and inspiring. I often tune in while working in my studio and I never come away without practical, manageable applications. - Lauren
Interesting to listen to Tom and his story Andrew. I can see how you had the confidence to try to make a living as an artist with an example like your father. He's an inspiring man who shows that it is possible to succeed at this game. Thanks.
That was great! I really enjoyed seeing and hearing the interaction and conversation between you and your Dad! He certainly has gained the wisdom of experience, not to mention the talent and skill through many years of practice and hard work. I see that you have gained much and learned much from him. What a blessing that is!
This was fantastic. I really enjoyed meeting your dad and seeing your interactions with each other. The mutual respect shines through. I took lots of notes from the wisdom shared here.
Your dad is so real, so down to earth, thank heavens the fact he's a master artist never went to his head. Thank you both for sharing his amazing life.
Amazing podcast, amazing stories! I never thought I would put 2 hours in watching it but as it was so captivating I did! Thank you Andrew for putting this man out in the world.
This has been so inspiring and adorable!! I'm feeling so excited to do your Winter Landscape lesson. I just know it will do me such amazing expansion. I'm truly so full of appreciation for your videos, your Dad, and talents!! Thank you!!!
The further along I go in this, the more I see the connections between my art and all the non-art circumstances and situations, sometimes extremely frustrating and discouraging, but necessary and beneficial. It all fits together. Much I've learned outside of my art applies TO my art.
Since I only discovered your videos a few days ago, I have been thoroughly enjoying them now that I am retired and hoping to delve back into my art that was shelved for the 40 years I worked at a local hospital. I had to pause your episode to investigate further your father's mention of the cave paintings from 36,000 years ago. I found a great video entitled "La Cueva de los Sueños Olvidados Hd / Sub Español -Werner Herzog" here on UA-cam (it is in English and I hope you don't mind me mentioning it). Now that I have been enthralled by that, I am returning to finish your interview! Thank you so much for sparking my creativity as I return to drawing and painting once more.
Absolutely amazing conversation between father & son. There was all the wisdom , experience and interesting facts your father had to tell with so much of passion. Just loved it from begining to end.May god bless him with long , healthy life. You are lucky to have such talented parents.God bless you all.
listened to this entire podcast on Spotify as soon as i realized it was there and it was awesome! what a compelling story. outstanding advice too. i see the apple doesn't fall far from the tree when it comes to artistry and vision and the ability to communicate something so complex.
I never intended to watch the whole thing as two hours is a pretty significant commitment with all the demands for our time these days but once your dad started telling his story I was completely captivated. What an interesting and inspiring man. So much wisdom and so much heart. Thanks for sharing him with us. It was two hours very well spent. Now I have to go paint that crab again.
Thanks Ed, glad you stuck in there with the interview, yes, go and master the CRAB! :)
You are lucky Andrew to have an interesting ,inspiring father ,so wisdom , amazing artist .Thanks for sharing him with us .
same here!! Loved it. So much knowledge through experience 👍
Me too‼️loved this interview . Thank you both so very much. Your Dad for his honest transparency & you Andrew ( my fav portrait etc...canvas artist for your video rendition savvy!!
Old school. No doubt!

@@AndrewTischlerArtMaybe you don't realize the importance of your words Andrew. Your answer is about the best possible lesson anybody can get.
What a wonderful man and how truly blessed you are to have such an inspirational father and male figure in your life. Blessings to you both for all that you do to encourage all of us in our "creative art endeavors".
Lovable Daddy who makes easier to understand the son’s artistic competence and so complex concepts in art world in a simple way. Thanks for sharing, Andrew.

Your Dad's bronze process is definitely the authentic way...and 50 sheets of plywood, that's big! Thank you Mr. Tischler
How precious - me not having a dad anymore, this is making me emotional. God bless him.
What a wonderful interview! It was nice to watch reciprocal pride at work...and your Dad is someone I could listen to for hours! Down to earth, and real. Just like you Andrew.
Fantastic interview, Andrew! Watched it all. So many amazing points.

Thank you Andrew. Very inspiring. Your dad is God's gift for grooming you to what you are today. Loved to listen to listen to your Dad, great indepth from a person who has watched things closely and got inspired from them. Great things to learn by only listening.
Wonderful! Good to 'meet' your dad! What a great example you had as a mentor growing up. Sometimes we have no idea who our parents are until we have the perspective of age and experience! What a gift! I look forward to more of your podcasts! Thanks!
What a treasure for you and for us to listen to someone who has been there. Good advice at the end. Now I know why you prep for your paintings over and over again. Doing the grunt work leads to a better reward at the end. That will preach!
Andrew, you are a Knight in shinning armor to me! Not in the romantic sense, but as a fellow artist!
This episode was SO great, that I had to watch it AGAIN and AGAIN [as Tom advises]- my third time today, while I practiced my drawings. This was incredibly insightful, full of wisdom and exactly what I needed to hear- the truth of the real work it takes to be an acclaimed artist. Wow! I especially love the stories your dad shared about his journey through Europe. I love his moral ethics, too...referring to the “Uncle you may know”.
Moreover, I can not thank you enough for your perseverance to bring these podcasts to your fellow artists; it is invaluable, priceless education that brings our global community together.
Please tell your dad Thank You, too. As hard as it may be for him to understand UA-cam and the tech world, there’s a massive need for his wisdom.
My father, Dudley Kendall, before he went blind, was an accomplished painter and very much like Tom- near the wilderness and likes to live simply. My brother, Rex Covington, is also a sculptor, though with ice [www.LAiceart.com] in CA. They are both old schoolers and I can certainly relate very well to how you grew up with an artistic family- it’s a never ending venture to keep growing and learning, ‘being prepared to do it again and again’. Bravo, Sir!
The world is apparently a very small place. My kids have played in, on, and around the elephant sculpture and the gorilla sculpture in Dallas. Please tell your dad thank you for letting kids play while they learn.
Thank you to you and to your emotional an motivating father. Please share with him how much special has been this moment for all of us too!
Its wonderful you still have your father around. My father was an absolutely amazing artist, there's been so many times I wish he was still here, so I can just say... "Hey Daddy, how do you do this?" That's my only regret about my artwork.... I waited too late to come back around to it, by the time I did, I was losing my father. Cherish those moments as long as you can.
Sounds like it's time for Andrew to visit his Dad, and help build a Website.
I met Tom in the late 80s at zoo conferences and fell head over heels in love. He will always be for me the ‘one who got away’ and it’s an absolute delight to see and hear him again. Thank you.
I love your posts.What a fabulous man your Dad is to share his wonderful story....Lovely family .Greatly inspiring
It always helps me as a 'new' oil painter when I've approached something a particular way, and then it gets reinforced after the thought by someone with years of experience and success.
I found after I THINK my paintings are complete, I wanna change "this" or change "that" and "oh, I couldve done it this way" after watching one of your videos.
Then it gets to a point that I want to do it completely over from scratch but feel then Im regurgitating more of the same. Thank your father for me please.... as I now know, thats what some of the best have done and its ok for me to do this and trust my own instincts.
THANK YOU SO MUCH for this video!
I love Tommy Tischler! Thanks for introducing this amazing man to us. One of a kind for sure.
I so enjoyed this podcast Andrew as I have enjoyed all of your podcasts, this was especially awesome,
father and son. So much great information you are so inspirational and I see where you got it. God Bless you and your father.
Thanks Peggy!
Thoroughly enjoyed listening. Mr Tischler is no doubt a true Texan. In his speech and his mannerism. He s captures your attention easily. His life is impressive.
Really enjoyable time spent listening.
Wonderful interview, love the interaction of yourself and your dad, very touching!! As an aspiring sculptor I've learned so much today .... will be researching and following you both. Thanks for doing these podcasts Andrew, you've opened up the art universe and are showing us the most interesting inhabitants!! Lots to think about and try, so fascinating..... plus informative. Sometimes you say things that I've experienced such as seeing something so beautiful it must be painted for the experience of touching all the nuances of it (or words to that effect) so thanks, yup, my kind of people.... wonderful podcasts and blogs, so appreciated!!
Your father is one of the most impressive artists I've listened to in a long time. The old school persistence, intelligence and personal responsibility are so inspiring. His final remarks are consistent with how he relays his practical approach to his art career. A Texan trait!
After almost a week, I picked up this podcast from where I left it. This time I watched until 1:20 AM and could not stop listening. What a mine of wisdom! But also what a special person your father is. I realized also that only after one hour and thirty five minutes you are addressing the title of video: "what does the old school has to teach to the new school?" Again, thank you for this invaluable lesson!
Such an interesting interview Andrew. Thank you for sharing. Bless your father, such a strong personality with big dreams and determination.An amazing artist as well.
Fascinating. How lucky Andrew is to have such an extraordinary father!
I packed you and your dad around with me today while I painted and cleaned house and played with my dogs and fed my dogs and cooked dinner for my husband, I loved listening to your dad and to you, thank you Andrew and Tom.
Hi AT
What a broadcast! A video I could not release until I had seen
it finished.
Your dad is an awesome narrator and that of hearing about his
great courage, ingenuity and drive through his career as an artist, was a great pleasure.
Thank him for his openness and thank you for showing this wonderful video.
Gosh Tom's work is amazing. Thank you for the introduction to your Dad, what a wonderful, genuine man.
What a fantastic treat to see this. One good reason to appreciate‘the new’ otherwise I might not have had the privilege. Thank you so much.
What an awesome podcast! I had to watch it (in its entirety) twice. I hope you two will be doing this again.
This is your best interview to date. Your father is an amazing man with a wonderful self-made story. Such wonderful adventures he had while perfecting his process and business model. I especially liked his descriptions of the lessons learned with each phase, and what he changed to make things work better. Serious artists, and entrepreneurs of every level will be able to take away valuable lessons from this discussion. Thank you Andrew and Tom!
I love how you interviewed your father! It’s so inspiring to know how supportive your father is and how talented both your parents are. I pray your families legacy will always carry on! We need people who are passionate like you and your father and mother. ❤️🔥❤️🔥❤️🔥❤️🔥❤️🔥❤️🔥❤️🔥 please let your father know how inspiring he is to me! 🤗🤗🤗🤗
Truly enjoyed this. So incredible to see generations passing along love of art and wisdom.
Hi Andrew this is great your father the best thank so much love it.
Wonderful life story, I'm in awe, so many valuable lessons to learn from this hardworking, creative individual and his your Dad! I'll be so proud!
I could listen to him from hours ....Wow!
I have one of your father’s sculptures. 2/50. It’s a ram on a cliff. It caught my eye today because I don’t see it often (it was at my dad’s). I noticed it said “Billy” Tom Tischler on it and my heart stopped because I’m greatly inspired by Andrew. I’m a paint and sip “instructor” and I paint oils mainly at home with a great deal of help from Andrew’s videos. So, thank you and your family for being a part of my life and bringing me and my family so much art and inspiration. Also, now it’s at my house haha
Also, dates 1982
What an incredible life story to have the pleasure to listen to. Your dad is so enormously talented and resourceful. It's easy to see that the apple did not fall far from the tree. Loads of talent, discipline, motivation, generosity, and work ethic runs in your family for sure. Thank you so much for sharing this wonderful story and many words of wisdom with us.
This video was absolute gold. I learnt great tips from your father. I cannot sufficiently describe how thankful i am to you for making this video and helping other struggling artists learn from older and more experienced artists. And having someone like your father teach and mentor you and then you sharing that privilege with us means a great deal to us. Especially since most of us didnt grow up with figures like him around us and could really use the guidance. Again thanks alot for all your time and effort.
What an inspirational interview! A two-hours well spent. I could keep listening for another two hours. You are so blessed to have that drive and inspiration from him ❤️
I am so impressed and intrigued by your work... I've been an artist since I could pick up a pencil and I actually learned something new about mixing color, which is burnt umber and ultramarine blue ratio instead of using black... awesome.
Great interview! It's amazing how the things we encounter shape what we do in our lives. Andrew's Dad first used art as an expression as a youngster, then was exposed to animals through his father's veterinary profession - then architecture in college, selling art while traveling and then finally in Africa, sculpture. What a fantastic life story. Mind blowing and totally inspirational! Andrew was exposed to incredible parents. It's no wonder he is the amazingly, talented artist he is. It's in his DNA.
Wonderful when a parent can impart the thing that helps set a child free.
Totally amazing life story. Thank you both for sharing this personal information and insight.
Thanks Pamela! Glad you enjoyed it!
Your dad's awesome :) I can see what he's saying in my life too. I think it's the way of the creative mind. We take things we learn/observe (either related to art or not) and we transfer the essence onto art (or whatever we're working on). I think the more we learn/read/experience the more we carry into our art and our ability to do this is what we call talent. The rest is practice.
kept thinking...I can’t wait to read this guy’s biography...what an incredible life...Imagine to have all those works of incredible art, punctuated with a son as gifted and high functioning as you! Sheesh.
On the gallery issue, over the years I have dealt with a few galleries as a patron. I love galleries as you can see exactly what you are purchasing and it is always better than online. I must say, the last gallery I dealt with, I loved, I purchased 5 wonderful works over the years from them but, BUT...they never once remembered my name.
After thinking about that after my final purchase, I felt somehow...hanging, if you know what I mean.
Andrew Tischler, you should create a gallery, you know how people like to be treated...just like a person.
Thanks again, love the Kelly Foss Creative Endeavour as well!
Finally, a creative endeavor I can watch completely. Good one Andrew. Thank you. I'm not an artist so I watch you because of you. To meet the man who is a big part of who you are really interest me. Thank you again for this conversation.
Just wanted to tell you thanks for doing what you do. I have watched a number of your tutorials and have learned so much in a short time. But this one here with your dad spoke to me. Thank him for sharing his story. I loved it and it spoke to me. Its not easy to see destiny when its front of you but in retrospect his life looks like it was destiny. But that would erase all of the hard work, the gutsiness of walking into a store to sell his art, or the shear balls of going to the museum in Switzerland and demanding a job. Carpe Diem...seize the day...make your own destiny is my take away. I'm sure Ill comment more and some day share my art with you. Today I just want you both to know that at least one person in the world is thankful that you exist and is praying for you future. God bless.
As a beginning artist listening to your Dad talk about doing your art over again and again made me realize that I quit too soon and allow myself to be discouraged too easily. I plan on writing that in large letters on the wall of my little studio. Thank you Andrew for sharing your Dad with us.
This was a great interview with your dad! He had some wonderful insights and wisdom that he imparted that I took personally and I'm sure to a lot of the young artists out there trying to make a living with their art. Old school but successful school!
Dear Mr. Tischler, (Tom) Referring to the out dated website...(From one Texas artist to another) "If it ain't BROKE don't fix it!" I refuse to use social media to sell my work, even though many tell me I should. I prefer face to face contact with people. My first sale was a private showing in a tiny museum in our small town, I was invited to a proverbial wine tasting by the museum to show my work. A woman didn't have cash that night, so she came to where I lived and paid cash for it the next day. I will never forget her name. Thank you for sharing your expertise, it is very nice of you sharing with us. God bless you and keep you safe.
Thank you so much, Andrew, for this most inspiring video talking with your father about art! How very special!! i am exhausted as there was so much to take in. Thanks again.
This was my second time watching this episode, and I just realized my husband and I have seen probably a dozen of your dad’s sculptures in person (one of which my husband has fond memories of climbing on as a child: the Komodo Dragon). Amazing wisdom and a truly fascinating story and life. Thank you for producing the podcast and videos on your channel; they’re always refreshing and inspiring. I often tune in while working in my studio and I never come away without practical, manageable applications. - Lauren
Interesting to listen to Tom and his story Andrew. I can see how you had the confidence to try to make a living as an artist with an example like your father. He's an inspiring man who shows that it is possible to succeed at this game. Thanks.
To you and your father Andrew thank you for such a splendid time.
This is amazing. Just wow!!! I just love hearing everyone's story. And how they get to do what they do so well. Thank you. You are so blessed
What a privilege! Thanks so much for this Andrew! Cheers from South Australia!
Cheers Stu!
I have a photo of our grandkids sitting on a Lion at the San Francisco Zoo that your dad did. Small world.
That was great! I really enjoyed seeing and hearing the interaction and conversation between you and your Dad! He certainly has gained the wisdom of experience, not to mention the talent and skill through many years of practice and hard work. I see that you have gained much and learned much from him. What a blessing that is!
This was fantastic. I really enjoyed meeting your dad and seeing your interactions with each other. The mutual respect shines through. I took lots of notes from the wisdom shared here.
His art is amazing! I like the sitting natives.
I appreciate your kindness and respect shown your father.
Your dad is so real, so down to earth, thank heavens the fact he's a master artist never went to his head. Thank you both for sharing his amazing life.
Thanks tarsereye! I appreciate that. Yeah, he's been a good role model. :)
Andrew
I have just finished watching your interview with your dad: an inspiring man of great wisdom . Thank you for sharing that with us.
Maggi Lowton
Amazing podcast, amazing stories! I never thought I would put 2 hours in watching it but as it was so captivating I did! Thank you Andrew for putting this man out in the world.
This has been so inspiring and adorable!! I'm feeling so excited to do your Winter Landscape lesson. I just know it will do me such amazing expansion. I'm truly so full of appreciation for your videos, your Dad, and talents!! Thank you!!!
The further along I go in this, the more I see the connections between my art and all the non-art circumstances and situations, sometimes extremely frustrating and discouraging, but necessary and beneficial. It all fits together. Much I've learned outside of my art applies TO my art.
Since I only discovered your videos a few days ago, I have been thoroughly enjoying them now that I am retired and hoping to delve back into my art that was shelved for the 40 years I worked at a local hospital. I had to pause your episode to investigate further your father's mention of the cave paintings from 36,000 years ago. I found a great video entitled "La Cueva de los Sueños Olvidados Hd / Sub Español -Werner Herzog" here on UA-cam (it is in English and I hope you don't mind me mentioning it). Now that I have been enthralled by that, I am returning to finish your interview! Thank you so much for sparking my creativity as I return to drawing and painting once more.
That anecdote about making the mammoth was riveting. What a great story. Amazing
Que buen equipo dos maestros del arte. Gracias por compartir. Y enseñar lo mejor. Un abrazo.
Absolutely amazing conversation between father & son. There was all the wisdom , experience and interesting facts your father had to tell with so much of passion. Just loved it from begining to end.May god bless him with long , healthy life. You are lucky to have such talented parents.God bless you all.
Great watch your Dad is a legend so inspirational 😁🙏👍🏻
Thank you! So gracious.
Wow! What a class act you father is.. such a gentleman, and so supporting
listened to this entire podcast on Spotify as soon as i realized it was there and it was awesome! what a compelling story. outstanding advice too. i see the apple doesn't fall far from the tree when it comes to artistry and vision and the ability to communicate something so complex.
