An interview on The Sneaky Art Podcast

An interview on The Sneaky Art Podcast

I was interviewed by Nishant Jain, for his Podcast The Sneaky Art Podcast.

It was such a wonderful conversation in which we talked about how I "discovered an extended version of the artist" in me, with a simple philosophy of doing what’s fun.
How much can be achieved by doing what’s fun? Can it spark new ideas? Can it help us accomplish big, important goals too? I talk about my book and about discovering a new creative outlet in abstract art.
We also talk about my line of work, my journey as a co-founder of Sketchbook Skool and about my YouTube channel. We also talk about the unique task of being an independent creative - the responsibilities of such a job title, and also the opportunities it offers in today's landscape.

This is just a little preview.
Take your time for the full episode, it was a long conversation - just like one you would have when you meet with a friend and chat over coffee. You will find the episode here - it launches today at 6 AM Pacific Time.
