Manage DEPRESSION with art | Jake Lee Studio - S2 E7

02/09/22 • 33 min

Jacob Lee Welch is an artist, but not your average artist, hats and shoes are his canvas and manga and cartoons are his passion. After his life hit a rough patch, Jake was diagnosed with clinical depression. Realizing something had to change he turned to his lifelong passion as his therapist.

In a rut, a simple photo of some painted shoes shared to him by a friend, revitalized Jake and that day he gave himself purpose. Within hours, he set about to start playing with the medium as a canvas. Before long he found people wanted to buy his creations. From there spawned an enterprise which keeps him focused and at peace with himself.

Jacob works when everyone else sleeps. Like many artists it is this deep work and constant failures to arrive at his desired vision that keeps him driven in his day to day. This is an inspirational story of a former school teacher who has rediscovered the best parts of who he is, through exploring, creating and painting.

Skate to Create | Sam Larkins Skateboarder - S2 E6

Sam Larkins skates to create. Every weekend he and his mates can be found tackling objects often not made to be skated. But nothing can stop their passion, not even security can dent their determination.

Sam Larkins is sponsored by Brisbane based indoor skatepark, Ramp Attak and street brand Folklore Skateboards. His journey started in his early teens and has seen him achieve much success in a short period of time. If footage shared in this episode from some of his exploits is anything to go by, it should be no surprise why he is known as Ramp Commander.

Larkins shares his process of learning new tricks, tackling new obstacles and the comradery that goes with the street sport. His mates film and photograph their every move - trials, tribulations, triumphs and truths. This episode contains footage from some of the best skaters (and bikers) in Queensland and Australia.
