| 26 Nov 2023 | Episode 4: 004 // Interview with The Zookeeper: Painting silos and doing your best | 00:49:43 | |
Today I am speaking with a good friend and muralist, Joel Fergie - also known as The Zookeeper (or Aerosol Joel). Joel Fergie is a Brisbane based artist who’s large scale artworks span from inner city urban laneways to remote regional communities throughout Central Australia. His large scale murals found on water towers and grain silos aim to disassemble the routines of daily life. Through nature, his work looks to bring feelings of positivity to people in public spaces. Exploring visual metaphor, The Zookeeper’s large public works connect a wide variety of viewers to many social and cultural subjects which are often overshadowed in traditional art forms. In this interview we talk about artists residencies, painting huge silos and water towers, making a difference in rural communities, mental health and his fear of heights.

| 28 Jan 2024 | Episode 13: 013 // The Great Instagram Experiment | 00:26:16 | |
I sometimes get stuck in the 'death scroll' on Instagram. I don't like it. It doesn't make me feel good. I get frustrated when I don't have 50k followers like other artist do. Am I not as good as them? I often think that if I had 50k followers then online artworks sales would be so easy. The frustration is mainly around the fact that I have no idea how to increase my 1600 followers to 50k. I have read articles. I have listened to podcasts. I have done online courses. I have scrolled Facebook pages with all the advice. It is all overwhelming. I thought the best way to figure out 'the Insta-algorithm' is to experiment with it. I broke down the first 3 months of 2023 into two week blocks. Each fortnight I would try a different 'tactic' and below are the results - not just based on followers, but my mental health, productivity and enjoyment. Throughout this time I continued my normal, inconsistent posting of photos (occasional reels) and jibber jabber. This post walks through the outcomes from the experiment and my overall thoughts.

| 17 Mar 2024 | Episode 20: 020 // Interview with Maggi McDonald: Building a social media brand | 01:16:23 | |
Today I am speaking with the generous and colourful Maggi McDonald. Maggi is an artist & surface designer based in Sydney, Australia. After growing her family she studied design which led her to rediscover her love of painting. Nature is a constant inspiration in her work and her brightly coloured abstract gardens and landscapes are inspired by the natural beauty of her adopted country Australia, and South Africa where she grew up. Maggi was born in Cape Town and lived in London before settling in Sydney. She loves traveling and learning about world cultures and in particular the symbols and patterns used in textiles and art. In this interview we talk about building a social media presence through consistency, creating content (and being paid for it), managing burnout and the evolution of creative careers.

| 24 Mar 2024 | Episode 21: 021 // Burnout Sucks | 00:22:03 | |
This weeks episode is a tough one – burnout. What better time to record a podcast episode about burnout, than when I am in the middle of an epic burnout? There are tears and some sniffles but I do identify the signs of burnout. I also speak about what I have done (and am currently doing) to come back from a career burnout. I understand this isn’t the usual ‘be an artist, it’s great!’ type episode. This may have a few people questioning their desire to work full time for themselves. Some others may deeply connect with this area of creative life. Please remember if you are in a similar space, you are not alone. Lifeline has a great helpline on 13 11 14. Or if you don’t feel like talking, you can text 0477 13 11 14.

This weeks episode is about rejection. Unfortunately, rejection is inevitable within the creative industries.

It is impossible to be accepted for everything you apply for, and therefore: rejection.

Today I am speaking with Carley Cornelissen. Carley is an artist based in Brisbane, Australia. She is obsessed with colour, pattern, flora and fauna. She studied Fine arts at RMIT back in the early 2000’s and has been creating ever since. She finds so much enjoyment in the process of experimenting and creating with different mediums such as acrylics, coloured pencils, image transfers, spray paint, stencils and watercolour. She has been selected as a finalist in multiple prizes including the Sunshine Coast Art Prize (2014) and the Gold Coast Art Award (2015) and has shown here in Australia and overseas in solo and group shows. In this interview we talk about how she found her artistic style and how her consistency in creating everyday helps her business moving forward while also working four days a week.

| 30 Jun 2024 | Episode 35: 035 // Interview with Jordan Bruce: epic murals and collaboration | 01:08:06 | |
Today I am speaking with Jordan Bruce from The Brightsiders. Jordan is a Brisbane mased muralist and contemporary artist. He is driven to participate and add to the visual landscape of public space. The immediacy and impact of graffiti on the urban environment had a formative impression on his way of seeing and engaging in art. From this platform Jordan moved into painting murals, co-founding Brightsiders and creating large scale artworks across the country. Jordan’s personal art practice runs in tandem to his mural work, a feedback loop of experiences, technique and inspiration. Jordan is drawn to the detail of colour and texture, light and shadow in nature, observing and reflecting this through his work.
In this interview we talk about life balance, the ebs and flows of work, diversification and painting silos.
