Ever wished you’d been given the benefit of great advice from amazing artists, maybe ahead of you on their art career path? 

Well, to celebrate our 50th episode (FIFTIETH 😳 ) we invited artists we admire and love to do just that… tell us all something that they perhaps wish they’d known way back when. 

We have been blown away by the generosity of the contributing artists and offer them a huge thank you for their kindness and words of advice. All are thought-provoking, inspiring, and speak to their experiences. We hope you gain insight and carry their words with you long after the episode airs.
