Get Messy
Caylee Grey
Making art should be easy. But let’s be honest: Art is messy. (Heck, life is messy!) Together with me, Caylee Grey, we’ll explore what it REALLY means to be an artist. Practically. Warts and all. So that you can be an artist, today, now, even if you work a day job, have a million and one commitments, and own a cat that likes sitting on your art. No more excuses. Okay? Okay.

One of the biggest things that art journalers struggle with in their creative practice is the journaling part of art journaling. It’s weird. I know. A while back, I invited a journaling expert to help the Get Messy community with how to find the words. Elaine Kiziah completely blew it out of the park with the workshop she created for us. Journaling is an amazing tool to dig deep into your core and to really connect with yourself. There is a stack of practical ways to get the most of your journaling strung around this episode, and Elaine is such a wonderful guide.

Once again I am freaking excited about this week's guest on the podcast. This week it's the beautiful Karen Abend. She has a heart of gold and I'm really excited about our chat today. In this episode we discuss the absolute magic of sketchbooks. We discuss how sketchbooks are the root of everything creative, no matter what you call them - sketchbook, art journal, notebook, junk journal... all of those good things. I hope you play this while you are creating in your sketchbook, your art journal, whatever you call it. Let's all create together. --- 🎙️ Full show notes and more information: https://getmessyart.com/podcast ✨ Embrace imperfection and join Get Messy: https://getmessyart.com/join/

"You’re putting your life into it so that’s what makes it something special. That’s what makes you appreciate it and other people as well. It really doesn’t matter what you use and it’s funny to say that because I make journals and I’m very passionate about it because I think what you use can inspire you and be a very, very powerful tool to keep you documenting. But at the same time, once you develop the habits and the style and you develop the passion for it, then it’s not going to bother you what you use." – Johanna Clough Today in a historical first, I am interviewing Johanna Clough. It’s historical because it’s the first time I am interviewing her, but also the first podcast she has been on, which I am excited about because I am a hardcore Johanna fangirl. I love what she creates, who she is as a person, and the encouragement she brings to the art community. Johanna is an absolute delight. This conversation that we had is an absolute delight. You are absolutely going to love it. --- 🎙️ Full show notes and more information: https://getmessyart.com/podcast ✨ Embrace imperfection and join Get Messy: https://getmessyart.com/join/

Inspiration is not real
Get Messy
Inspiration does not exist. It's a lie. Inspiration is not real. True inspiration is the kind that leads to immediate action. Inspiration that leads to nothing tangible is... nothing. There's something tangible standing between an idea and something being realised. That something is YOU. YOU ARE THE ONLY THING STANDING BETWEEN FEELING WARM AND FUZZY INSIDE AND ACTUAL, REAL LIFE MAGIC. --- 🎙️ Full show notes and more information: https://getmessyart.com/podcast ✨ Embrace imperfection and join Get Messy: https://getmessyart.com/join/

For the month of January, we focused on creative collaboration at Get Messy. Claudette Hasenjager and Char DeRouin led the way to nurture a safe space for artists to find their creative soul mate. For just the month, or for beyond. This excitement about creative collaboration stemmed from their own experiences collaborating with each other. In this episode, we discuss their fears, style mixing, and mutual fangirling while being each other's personal cheerleader. We discuss the best way to find someone to collaborate with, what working with another artist has done to their own work, and just generally get mushy about each other. It's a vrou-mance (an Afrikaans version of Bro-mance for women) and it's beautiful to listen to. By the end of the episode, you'll be rushing to your phone to invite one of your favourites to make some art with you. --- 🎙️ Full show notes and more information: https://getmessyart.com/category/blog/podcast/ (https://getmessyart.com/podcast) ✨ Embrace imperfection and join Get Messy: https://getmessyart.com/join/ (https://getmessyart.com/join/)

This is the story of what happens when a perfectionist decides to actively go against her own nature in lieu of making the art that her soul needs. Iris and I talk about her brave decision to deliberately choose wonkiness, ignore self-doubt, and go for process over product in order to live her true creative life. If you're a perfectionist, Iris will encourage you to give yourself permission for your recovery to start with art. --- 🎙️ Full show notes and more information: https://getmessyart.com/category/blog/podcast/ (https://getmessyart.com/podcast) ✨ Embrace imperfection and join Get Messy: https://getmessyart.com/join/ (https://getmessyart.com/join/)

Today I sat down with Tricia. Tricia is wise and someone that you wanna have in your corner because she's very zen about art making, very knowledgeable and plays between the right and left side of your brain so well. She's a great encourager and wise mentor. We talk about her creative routines and how they've changed over the course of her life. We also talk about teching online and in person, and the impact mentoring has on her own work. --- 🎙️ Full show notes and more information: https://getmessyart.com/category/blog/podcast/ (https://getmessyart.com/podcast) ✨ Embrace imperfection and join Get Messy: https://getmessyart.com/join/ (https://getmessyart.com/join/)
