Thank you for listening to the LA Artist Podcast, where we chat with local artists about their works, style, what influenced them to start their artist journey and more.

We chat about the vendor life and being a working artist doing shows around LA. Specifically the LA County Fair is one of the events we love doing but its a tough job vending art for a full month and working 14 hour days, but it's definitely a great time and you meet new friends. The overcoming of losing one's job and having to figure out what to do, what works best, and how to survive while creating art.

Quote of the Ep: “Just jump in the pool, you just got a jump in the pool. Sometimes I was very hesitant to get this started, as far as going to booths and making sales and everything and actually putting my artwork out there but you never know the response you are gonna get until you actually get out there and try putting it out there. ”

Having a very whimsical art style inspired by Pogo the comic strip and Bones the comic book, but bringing her own style into the mix. With her high energy you can feel her passion for creating art and telling stories through her work. Having not gone to school for art, she doesnt regret not going because she can truly express herself without restrictions in a sense. Not to say you shouldn’t learn the fundamentals of art, but you will learn from creating, so never stop creating.

After being in the art world for years, Mel is in a phase of chaos fueled by happiness to create art, and its very infections and radiant. Taking the time to find moments of inspiration and create art no matter where she was, wiether it be from music, nature, reading or just living day to day and finding the light from anything.

Quote of the Ep: “Ask questions! Even though it can be uncomfortable if you’re anxious or shy, ask questions! Either do your research on the interente or ask questions to a a person that works at a gallery, at an art evet, ask questions of how they got started, how long have they been doing it, what steps they took. You know those are so important for you to gain and build that confidence so that you yourself can get out there and do it!”

Danny has a very distinct pointillism and impressionist style with a focus of music. We chat with him about the business side as well as the art journey, and the struggle to balance both. Having been influenced by old masters as well as modern artists, Danny finds a way to use the influences to continue to be creative and learn and continue exploring and expressing yourself through your art.

How do you market yourself? Find a name for yourself that works and people can see you and distinguish you as the artist by your work. Especially when it comes to websites and usernames, take the domains as soon as possible before someone else takes your name for branding.

It's the glasses that have made our artist friendship stronger haha. But all seriousness, Paul is a digital artist that has been growing his style with the Catrina influenced paintings. We met Paul at the same art shows we were participating in Long Beach and LA. With a background in marketing and design, he used his knowledge to be able to market his artwork at shows, yet still always learning and trying to do better.

Quote of the Ep: “When you do a show, put that little extra effort. Have some dignity for your work.”

Talking about fires, safety and our experience with learning how to stay proactive and vigilant. Do you know how to use a fire-extinguisher? Safety is key, just like having fun and enjoying life. And speaking of enjoying life (I’m good with segways lol) We chat about games and potential workshops to stay creative and meet new artists!

Samantha Aguilar loves to paint art that has a meaning or purpose to inspire others. Having a background in illustrations, she created art based on movements, positive political opinions and even painted murals for community organizations and businesses. Always on the lookout to be creative, murals are one of the paint styles she enjoys even though the elements may be unforgiving, she says the end result is always satisfying.

Still at the beginning of her journey, Samantha has a passion and goal to continue painting and include illustrated book covers, children's books and so much more. So be on the lookout for those new projects in the future.

Quote of the Ep: “Thinking about art in a business aspect is a good way to start and avoid giving free work. Don’t do free work!”
