161. A Lifetime of Murals with Jeff Raum

06/21/21 • 71 min

This week’s episode features California based muralist Jeff Raum. This might be one of my favorite episodes because Jeff has a lifetime of experience in the arts industries and he so willingly shares it all. We talk a lot about what can go wrong in the mural process whether it’s non-payment, miscommunication, customers using our designs but hiring other artists to complete them, etc. For every 10 customers there’s 1 that isn’t happy for some reason or another and that’s just life. We chat about the ways to reconcile these situations and Jeff shares so many stories and words of wisdom in this over an hour long chat. So grab a paint brush, stay productive, and just listen to these mural stories in the background. Let me know what you think of this week’s episode with muralist Jeff Raum.

160. Murals & Faux Finishing for the 1% with Bryan King

This week’s episode features Virginia based muralist and faux finisher Bryan King. I put out a call for recommendations in a couple Facebook groups looking for nominations of lifetime muralists to interview for you this summer and Bryan’s name was brought up over and over. Artists wanted to hear from him and after checking out his photo gallery I could see why. This is another example of someone who takes pride in what they do and doesn’t rush. I have a tendency to try and move on to the next project ASAP but seeing Bryan’s work was a simple reminder of what could happen if we just take our time to produce a really great result for the customer. Bryan’s customers are a bit on the high end. He says that if he had to guess, he would say that most of his customers are in the top 1%. That is GOALS. To paint for that type of clientele you need to be in the top 1% of artists in your genre, and I think Bryan is that. Let me know what you think of this week’s episode with Bryan King.

162. Creating the Perfect Paint Hive Tutorial

This week’s BONUS episode features the founders of the Paint Hive: Regina, Gina, and Monica. The Paint Hive is a website that houses classes from a variety of artists who aim to inspire and encourage creativity, offer the motivation to start a new business, or simply expand your skills. We chat a bit about murals but this is kind of veered off from this summer’s mural theme which is why I’m delivering it as a bonus episode for you!
We mostly dive into what creating a great tutorial consists of. From writing an outline to the audio to being on camera and the fears around that. There’s a lot that goes into it but if you’ve ever thought about even the possibility of creating a tutorial one day then this episode might give you the boost in confidence that you need. Let me know what you think of this week’s episode with Regina, Gina, and Monica of the Paint Hive.
