Ep 18 Creative Chat with Artist and Illustrator Jake Parker - Creator of Inktober

Kick in The Creatives Podcast - We talk Creativity, Art and Writing with Creative Challenges and Gossip

Tara and Sandra, met by happy accident. Tara had been listening to a Podcast that Sandra just happened to be being interviewed on, and having her own podcast at the time, she invited Sandra to be a guest. The two of them quickly hit it off and went on chatting, long after the recording had stopped… And they haven’t shut up since!
Tara was a whizz at idea generation, but having been a graphic designer for 25 years, she had long lost her connection with a ‘real’ pencil.
Sandra, on the other hand, was and still is, a realism painter, yet she had the inability to just ‘let go’ in her sketchbook.
Over the following weeks, they began setting each other creative challenges. 
As a result, Tara rekindled her love for drawing by hand, and Sandra horrified to be handed a ‘chunky marker’ to draw with by Tara, was forced to let go of her pedantic sketching style and just ‘have fun in her sketchbook.’
It was clear that the two of them as a duo, were a good influence on each other and having finally met in the flesh, they became firm friends. 
Knowing the power that creative challenges had held for them, they decided that they wanted to help other people find and embrace their creative side and just ‘have a go.’
