Ep 3 Survival of a Homeless Artist


Listen Later

Episode 3. The interviewee for this episode is homeless artist called James Sneddon whose field of study is art and expertise is survival. I had bumped into James and chatted with him about his art, where I decided to buy a print of his. The content of the recording was quite unexpected. James spoke about his passion for art coming from his childhood but it quickly became apparent that his art was not only his safe haven but also his means of survival. His main source of income is the odd jobs and his painting. Due to the distressing and unhelpful process of making a claim this is his only means of survival.
He talks candidly about his alcoholism, being made homeless twice and his time in prison.
