There are a couple of guests on the podcast who have been back many times. Pinch is one of them. We met many years ago at a women in the arts event in Lincoln and since have continued to swap and share stories and tales with one another in personal and professional capacity. We in fact last sat down to do this three years ago!Since then Lauren has gone "full time artist" and settled into the role of being a creative painter exploring the business and personal side in art and what that means to them. So sit down and chill and lets talk about what you need to do to be a "profitable artist" and the turmoil that can create as a creative.You can find out more about Lauren via:https://linktr.ee/pinchpaintsAvailable also on:Ituneshttps://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/yelling-at-concrete/id1238765054Spotifyhttps://open.spotify.com/show/3T2OhYE07edgaBDXrm86saAcasthttps://shows.acast.com/yellingatconcrete

Call it a bad habit, call me an enabler but it seems everyone I meet i encourage to make something. This could be a fundamental flaw in myself but if I have a goal that goal is to convince everyone to explore creating. This is not to say everyone could and should be an artist but there is nothing stopping you exploring putting pencil to pad, paper to paper or baked good in a bowl to discover the fun of invention though creation so lets talk about my history of that and how talking to me can be somewhat dangerous for your free time.Available also on:Ituneshttps://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/yelling-at-concrete/id1238765054Spotifyhttps://open.spotify.com/show/3T2OhYE07edgaBDXrm86saAcasthttps://shows.acast.com/yellingatconcrete

This week I get to chat to an enigma. Comic artist of 'The other end comics' Neil Kohney has been popping up on my instagram feed for a while and no doubt you have seen his work! He create comic strips which subvert expectation and jump from extreme to extreme. Wanting to know more about them and the man behind the rats. I reached out to talk, subversive art, the nineties styling in the work but also how to keep an audience engaged and guessing. So come join us on the creative journey and learn how to write comics, form working relationships and grow your own work!Find Neilhttps://www.instagram.com/neilkohneyhttps://www.patreon.com/TheOtherEndhttps://tinyview.com/the-other-endhttps://www.reddit.com/user/neilkohney/Available also on:Ituneshttps://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/yelling-at-concrete/id1238765054Spotifyhttps://open.spotify.com/show/3T2OhYE07edgaBDXrm86saAcasthttps://shows.acast.com/yellingatconcrete

This week I sit down to talk about you! Finding and audience for your work can be hard and everyone and their aunty is out there telling you how to build and grow your views and clicks. So this week I sit down to talk about the other side of it. What about the fear of actually having one? Being held to account and needing to be kept in line because your audience begins dictating what you can and cannot make? I think this is something which stops artists and even myself promoting our work to the nth degree as we worry about losing that freedom to just make.Available also on:Ituneshttps://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/yelling-at-concrete/id1238765054Spotifyhttps://open.spotify.com/show/3T2OhYE07edgaBDXrm86saAcasthttps://shows.acast.com/yellingatconcrete

This week i sit down with NY based musician, artist, creator and overall legend which is  @ItsKavi . Who I met a couple years back and has in the last few months become quickly someone I wanted to collaborate with and get to know more. Kevin or Kavi as he's known is a ball of creation working in improvisational word play, music and visual art and really shares a lot of ethics when it comes to making art that I do which is great to find and why I wanted to catch up with him in the first place. So this week we sit down to talk art, how to progress, how to grow and how to stop stunting your own creations before your even begin.You can check out his work here:https://www.instagram.com/kavi.tv/https://www.youtube.com/@ItsKavihttps://itskavi.com/

This week we talk money and how the in reality these investments in art "art" are really short sighted financially. By alienating the creative user base companies are going to quickly find themselves in the process of needing unique ideas. Something AI cannot generate without theft. There is also the question of financial return. If you invest a few thousand in an art art engine and then need people to maintain and manufacture within it you're going to quickly get replicated, packaged and need to work near constantly to stay ahead but what happens if you spend a couple grand on an individual? So make a one off? To make a unique piece you can profit on for hundreds of years?Lets talk about that.Available also on:Ituneshttps://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/yelling-at-concrete/id1238765054Spotifyhttps://open.spotify.com/show/3T2OhYE07edgaBDXrm86saAcasthttps://shows.acast.com/yellingatconcrete
