It's been a little while since I've released an episode but I am back to reintroduce myself and this show and to give you some thoughts on:
The Importance of Vacation The Perspective it Brings Some thoughts on artists and how to respond to the new world of Artificial Intelligence -
Andy Pinder is an amazing muralist. After leaving Art College, Andy began working in London as a Visualiser, Designer and Art Director, before relocating to Kent. Having spent many years creating illustrations and storyboards for film and television, painting wall murals became a natural development through which Andy could channel his creative and artistic skills. Naturally, this working method was, far, far away from the world of computers. However, Andy does still generate most of his mural designs using modern technology, before painting a Kids Art Mural.

It’s cool if you want to be an artist. It’s cool if that’s your hobby. But you need to be honest with yourself if it’s something to make money or something that’s simply personal enjoyment. If it’s a hobby - great! Enjoy yourself. If it’s a business - get to work.

Please join 'THE BREAKTHROUGH CREATIVE' FACEBOOK GROUP. I'm looking forward to meeting you there.
Episode 92:
There are lots of good reasons to begin your career by working for a company BEFORE you start your own thing because there are so many things you don't know that you don't know.
Why not make it a bit easier on yourself and learn on the job while you plan and even start your own business.
My thoughts on the topic in this episode.
