Today on this special Halloween episode, Tiffany and I talk about what scares us... robots, ghosts, existentialism. Also, everything you need to know about Factory Obscura opening the final door of BEYOND on Halloween Night! 

What scares you? Putting yourself out there as an artist can be pretty scary, but I think Tiffany has some solid advice on how to handle it.

Today on the podcast we dig into "imposter syndrome" and how to overcome the feeling that you aren't qualified or good enough. You are totally qualified to live the creative life you want. Aditi talks about how she took the plunge and started her hand lettering workshops. Fun games, challenges and more!

On today's episode, local illustrator, Natalie Kent and I talk about how to find your "secret sauce" as an artist. These days, artists have to be photographers, marketers, and social media gurus just to keep up. It may seem daunting, but we get into how to navigate branding and find your truth.

One today's episode, Virginia Sitzes and I talk about Art Group, the enneagram test, and how having adventures helps us to be better artists and better people. 

Invest a little time into yourself today, grab your art supplies and let me know... Whatcha Makin?

Today I'm talking with members of Factory Obscura, the OKC art group that brought you SHIFT last November. Will Walker Larason (The Paper King), Erin Lantham (The Wealth of Knowledge) and Sheridan McMichael (The Voice), give us an inside look into Factory Obscura's next big thing. BEYOND. We'll get into behind the scenes shenanigans, how they each got started as artists and how community can lead to big things.

Kasie Sallee and I are both recovering perfectionists. Can you relate? Today on Whatcha Makin we talk about how we let go of perfection and just create stuff. We also talk about stress' long term effects and how we each used art as an outlet to be healthier, happier people. Lighthearted, but full of nuggets of wisdom, Kasie has some awesome advice for any recovering perfectionist.

Today on Whatcha Makin we talk about making all the things! You can apply your artistic eye to all sorts of mediums. You might learn technique that you can carry over to another project. We also answer questions like, is art school right for you? And how I came across a loose horse in my neighborhood. 

Remember you can use this time to make something of your own!

I personally love this episode of Whatcha Makin! I'm joined in the studio with Abby Storie of Amelie's Anomalies. She makes upcycled art from doll eyes, ethically sourced taxidermy, and crystals. This episode is all about allowing yourself to like what you like, even if it's weird! We'll get into finding your own voice as an artist, ghost stories, and just unapologetically liking what you like. Share this episode with you favorite weirdo!

I'm so excited to share these interviews with you guys. Like so excited. Bek and I have been friends on Instagram for a while now, but this was our first time meeting in person! 

We talk about finding healing and purpose in your art. We were both going through some dark times and found healing and direction through creating. 

Thanks fore listening and stay flossy *wink*

Whatcha Makin OKC?
