In this final Spotlight Interview of 2025, I’m sitting down with RJ, a fellow creative I connected with through Instagram and an artist trading card exchange.

We chat about his artist trading cards, where his ideas come from, and what inspires his creative process. We also dive into his refreshing outlook on social media — from batching content and documenting his work, to focusing less on follower counts and more on sustainable creativity.

This episode is a relaxed ramble between two creatives, full of honest reflections, shared experiences, and encouragement for anyone navigating their own creative path.
