    Drawing to Work Things Out - with BeeIllustrates #243

    Bee was an elite swimmer as a child. They bring the determination and resiliance to their art career as they share their ups and downs through the work they make. This episode covers; approaching creativity as an athlete approaches sport, the behind the scenes studio struggles that no one sees and why you should work like you’re ‘peckish’. As always, when I have a visual artist on the show, it’s my pleasure to share some images of their work. Here are some of Bee’s illustrations :) Get full access to Creative Rebels at creativerebels.substack.com/subscribe

    JOY! Collective is a creative production house from London, who specialise in huge public art projects. They describe themselves as an ‘outsource-able art department’. They began as mural painters in 2010 and focused on painting for many years. They still create murals but they also bring ideas to life in various creative ways that don’t always involve paint.
