There is nothing like making bigger paintings. Diego is planning to make bigger pieces but the materials are always something you need to hone and make your own. The tools are something that all artists should get to know more to be able to explore every medium and level your art.

Having a graphic style, Diego started his art journey in Elementary through High School sketching and drawing and stepping into tattooing. One challenge that he had to overcome was color blindness, hence he would focus on black and white drawing and tattoos. But his love of graffiti inspired him to use color in ways that may not be conventional. The use of vibrant colors has been his greatest impact to his growth as an artist.

Quote of the Ep: “Talk to the Artists. Don’t be afraid to talk to them… Hopefully they are able to give you some pointers.”

We start asking the biggest question the world should ask, what is your donut of choice? Please let us know!

Also…

How to tell time and truly enjoy the moments. In this new world where time is constantly monitored, we should be able to take time out of our busy life to go outside and enjoy the sun. Especially with art, we shouldn’t have to worry about having to post, or record, or do social media while painting, NO, you should just focus on your art and not worry of how much time it takes.

The colorful textures of Ashley’s paintings are one of the biggest staples of her art and have taken 2D work into 3D! Having an intuitive approach to painting and striving to let go and let the painting be perfectly imperfect. With a background in classical music, she uses music to mesh with her style and she has leaned into City Pop and more instrumental Vapor Wave to help focus and unfocus the mind to get into the groove of painting in a colorful style.

We talk about C-PTSD and how Ashley has been able to find help, find a balance and find comfort in her art to be able to show that you can still thrive as an artist who is dealing with mental health. She gave great advice from her own experience and it was a deep and meaningful conversation we had.

Quote of the Ep(43:45): “Get out there, show yourself. Tell people you are making art now, let them know what you are doing!”

Why Resin? It does make art more functional but can kinda suck because it is tedious, messy and the fumes are not so healthy! If you want to know more about it, she does cover great points about working with it.

Natasha, aka Tasha, has a vibrant and colorful style and why of life. Using vibrant colors in an abstract way that shows a lot of emotions and will fill your heart with joy. Having been drawn to colors throughout her life, she loves to use the colors to process tough emotions, especially over the past couple of years during the pandemic. Though Tasha did receive a degree for Animation, her passion was still painting and decided to leave digital art to pursue painting full time.

Being happy to get to a point where you are able to focus on personal artwork instead of commission work has been tough but Tasha has been more selective and is able to spend time on work that makes her happy with the work she is producing.

Quote of the Ep(1:06:20): “It’s Okay to mimic other artists… When you are starting out and using other artist techniques, make sure you credit them... It's totally okay if you don't know what you wanna do, it's okay to mimic other artists and practice those technical skills that then can be a jumping off point for you to define what your style will be eventually.”

Miranda’s philosophy to “allow yourself to be a beginner” and “understand that you are just starting” is a great way to not burn yourself out but stay consistent and continue creating without comparing yourself to other established artists.

With the shadows of personal obstacles and the global pandemic, Miranda took that time to see the opportunity to look inward and maintain a positive attitude and use art as a means to keep going. Her art reflects the nature we see all around us but may not always have time to see. “Bring the outside in”, is one of her mottos to paint landscapes to be able to display in your home.

Miranda still sees herself at the beginning of her artist journey and is wanting to explore creating more landscapes and paint bigger, as well as experimenting new mediums besides acrylic and watercolors.

Quote of the Ep(39:50): “When you begin, incorporate some kind of practice everyday. Make it a daily habit, it doesn't matter what you are painting or working on just, be creative every single day and you will grow and discover what your process is and what you like doing”

Yooo Rick is in the house! The first camera Ricky bought that inspired his creative career was with a Sony Cybershot Point-and-Shoot Camera. And was fascinated with the aspect that a photograph can capture a moment in time, and having memories of his childhood photos made him appreciate photography and moments captured. Using film cameras made each photo special, unlike using digital cameras where you can spam photos, having a limitation of the amount of photos makes every moment captured unique.

Quote of the Ep(50:40): “I don't wanna say steal, but understand that what you like is what is inspiring you so tap into that. ‘I like that, how do I do that, how did they do that, who inspired them to do that.’”
