Creative Rebels

Bee was an elite swimmer as a child. They bring the determination and resiliance to their art career as they share their ups and downs through the work they make.This episode covers; approaching creativity as an athlete approaches sport, the behind the scenes studio struggles that no one sees and why you should work like you’re ‘peckish’.As always, when I have a visual artist on the show, it’s my pleasure to share some images of their work. Here are some of Bee’s illustrations :) Get full access to Creative Rebels at creativerebels.substack.com/subscribe

JOY! Collective is a creative production house from London, who specialise in huge public art projects. They describe themselves as an ‘outsource-able art department’.They began as mural painters in 2010 and focused on painting for many years. They still create murals but they also bring ideas to life in various creative ways that don’t always involve paint. In this episode we discussed finding the perfect business partner, getting clients and then once you have clients, getting them to trust you to deliver big projects.If you enjoyed this episode phone your gran on christmas day and tell her about it xx Get full access to Creative Rebels at creativerebels.substack.com/subscribe

This is one of my favourite discussions, with one of the most iconic designers of all time - Peter Yee We discuss how pain tolerance is essential in a creative career in fact, the path of the creative is one of the most uncomfortable you can take.Most people give up at the first sign of pain.Peter didn’t give up and as a result, 90% of the planet has seen his work at some point. From the Oakley ‘O’ logo, to his the over-the-top eyewear design, Peter’s designs have become timeless.It was an honour to interview such a legend and I’m really excited to share this conversation with you!Follow Peter Yee here: https://www.instagram.com/peteryeedesign Get full access to Creative Rebels at creativerebels.substack.com/subscribe

There have been three episodes of this show this year that have had a real impact on the art I’m making - podcasts with Luisa Omielan, Oliver Jeffers and this week’s episode with Alex Chinneck.Alex makes huge, incredible sculptures that deconstruct the world and put it back together. His work is surreal, it breaks the rules of gravity and physics.“There are more artists than opportunities” it’s time to become one of the artists that is getting the opportunities.Alex’s website - https://www.alexchinneck.com/Alex’s insta - https://www.instagram.com/alexchinneck/?hl=enIf you like this episode, tell everyone you’ve ever met, please.
