    More Childish Art! 

    More Childish Art!  Hey, I’m Barrie J Davies — Brighton-based street pop surrealism artist, accidental paint goblin, professional waffle generator, and a man powered almost entirely by caffeine, neon paint fumes, and decisions that should probably have involved more adult supervision. Welcome to my podcast. This is a daily podcast, which feels wildly optimistic for someone who once lost a coffee mug under a pile of canvases for so long I assumed it had started a new life in Portugal. Thankfully, this is not one of those deeply serious art podcasts where someone softly whispers “the square represents emotional decay” over the sound of a lonely accordion and distant whale noises for ninety minutes straight. No. This podcast is more like a supermarket trolley full of spray paint rolling downhill into creative chaos. Every episode is basically me recording whatever strange little goblin thought escaped my brain before it evolves into a public safety concern. One minute I’m talking about a new artwork, and the next I’m aggressively analysing why pigeons walk like divorced accountants late for a train they secretly hope gets cancelled. There are usually no guests because this podcast has less “award-winning cultural discussion” energy and more “accidental 2am voicemail from a Brighton artist arguing with a paintbrush while covered in glitter.” The studio currently looks like a children’s TV channel exploded inside a graffiti tunnel. There’s paint on everything. Walls. Floors. Clothes. Somehow the toaster. Half-finished canvases stare at me like disappointed school teachers, and glitter keeps appearing in rooms where glitter has never physically been. At this point I can only assume glitter travels via paranormal activity. Honestly, there’s so much paint flying around that even Jackson Pollock would walk in, take one look around, whisper “absolutely not,” and slowly reverse out through the nearest fire exit. This podcast is basically the behind-the-scenes soundtrack to making loud, chaotic street pop art while surviving entirely on coffee, panic, and the sort of confidence normally seen in someone trying to assemble IKEA furniture with a butter knife. Because it’s daily and completely unhinged, absolutely anything can happen. One episode might be about a new artwork that looks like a cartoon character got trapped inside a lava lamp during an energy drink emergency. Another episode might just be me staring at a dripping paintbrush for fifteen minutes while convincing myself I’m “researching texture.” For legal reasons, it counts as work. This is not a serious art podcast. Nobody is quietly saying “juxtaposition” seventeen times while holding a tiny glass of wine that tastes like haunted bark mulch. Nobody is analysing “the emotional tension of negative space” like they’re decoding ancient prophecy from a cursed napkin. Sometimes art simply means I drank too much coffee at 8am and launched neon pink at a canvas with the emotional stability of a raccoon inside a drum kit. This podcast is graffiti-covered pop art chaos in audio form. Imagine a rollercoaster built entirely from spray cans, seaside sugar, glitter, questionable life choices, marker pens stolen from a café, and one suspiciously warm energy drink discovered at the bottom of a backpack next to a receipt from 2019. It’s messy, loud, mildly concerning, probably banned by several health-and-safety organisations, and somehow still a surprisingly good time. So come and join the chaos before I accidentally get banned from another art shop for asking whether “industrial quantities of neon pink” can legally count as a personality trait. 👉 Check out my artwork at http://www.barriejdavies.info 👉 Join my mailing list: http://eepurl.com/dbIy6P

    Go Weird Or Go Home!

    Go Weird Or Go Home! Hey, I’m Barrie J Davies, a Brighton-based street pop surrealism artist, accidental paint goblin, professional nonsense enthusiast, and a man held together mostly by caffeine and poor decisions. Welcome to my podcast. This is a daily podcast, which honestly feels ambitious for someone who once lost a coffee mug under a pile of canvases for three weeks and assumed it had moved away to start a new life. Thankfully, this is not one of those painfully serious art podcasts where someone whispers “the triangle represents grief” over ambient whale noises for two straight hours. This podcast is more like colourful chaos with a microphone attached. Every episode is basically me recording whatever strange thought crash-landed into my brain before it causes emotional or possibly structural damage. One minute I’m talking about a new artwork, and the next I’m wondering why pigeons walk like stressed middle managers late for a meeting nobody wanted. There are usually no guests because this feels less like a professional podcast and more like accidentally answering a voicemail from an over-caffeinated Brighton artist arguing with a spray can at 2am. The studio currently looks like a children’s TV channel got into a bar fight with a graffiti tunnel. There’s paint everywhere, including on objects that absolutely should not contain paint. Half-finished canvases stare at me like disappointed teachers, and glitter somehow keeps appearing in rooms it has never physically entered. I genuinely believe glitter may be haunted. Honestly, there’s so much paint flying around that even Jackson Pollock would walk in, quietly say “steady on, mate,” and slowly leave through the nearest fire exit. This podcast is basically the behind-the-scenes soundtrack to making loud street pop art while surviving entirely on coffee, chaotic energy, and the kind of confidence normally found in people trying to build flat-pack furniture without instructions. Because the podcast is daily and wildly unpredictable, absolutely anything can happen. One episode might be about a new artwork that looks like it was designed by a sugar-rushed cartoon trapped inside a lava lamp. Another episode might just be me spending ten minutes staring at a dripping paintbrush and convincing myself it counts as productivity. For legal reasons, it does. It’s called creative research. This is not a serious art podcast. Nobody is quietly saying “juxtaposition” fourteen times while holding a tiny glass of expensive wine. Nobody is analysing “the emotional tension of negative space” like they’re decoding ancient scripture. Sometimes art simply means I drank too much coffee at 9am and aggressively launched neon pink at a canvas until something spiritually confusing appeared. This podcast is graffiti-covered pop art chaos in audio form. Imagine a rollercoaster built from spray cans, seaside sugar, caffeine, glitter, questionable life choices, and one suspiciously warm energy drink found at the bottom of a backpack. It’s messy, slightly concerning, probably not health-and-safety approved, and somehow still a very good time. So come and join the chaos before I accidentally get banned from another art shop for asking if “industrial amounts of neon pink” counts as a personality trait. 👉 Check out my artwork at http://www.barriejdavies.info 👉 Join my mailing list: http://eepurl.com/dbIy6P

    Making Wrong Art!

    Making Wrong Art! Hey, I’m Barrie J Davies — Brighton-based street pop surrealism artist, accidental paint assassin, professional nonsense generator, and full-time goblin operating system disguised as a human being… and welcome to my podcast. This is a daily podcast — which sounds incredibly organised for someone who once lost a coffee mug under a pile of canvases for three weeks and briefly assumed it had “gone freelance.” But don’t panic. This isn’t one of those painfully serious art podcasts where someone whispers “the triangle represents grief” over ambient whale noises for two and a half hours. These are short bursts of colourful chaos.Tiny audio goblins.Little sonic panic attacks covered in neon paint. It’s basically me recording whatever weird thought crash-landed in my brain before it causes property damage. One minute I’m talking about a new print.The next I’m wondering why pigeons walk like middle managers who’ve just remembered they left the oven on. There are usually no guests either.Mainly because this feels less like a podcast and more like you accidentally answered a voicemail from a sleep-deprived Brighton artist who’s inhaled too much spray paint and now believes traffic cones are judging him. The studio currently looks like a children’s TV channel got into a bar fight with a graffiti tunnel.There’s neon everywhere.Paint on objects that should never legally contain paint.Half-finished canvases staring at me like disappointed teachers.Stencils.Ink.Pop art madness.Glitter appearing in rooms it has never physically entered. Honestly, there’s so much paint flying around that even Jackson Pollock would walk in, quietly say “mate… calm down,” and slowly back out through the fire exit. This podcast is basically the behind-the-scenes soundtrack to making loud street pop art while surviving entirely on caffeine, bad ideas, and the kind of confidence usually found in men trying to assemble garden furniture without instructions. Because it’s daily and wildly unpredictable, literally anything can happen. One episode might be about a fresh artwork that looks like it’s been dipped in radioactive candy floss and screamed at by a comic book. Another might just be me spending twelve minutes trying to work out whether staring at a dripping paintbrush counts as productivity.(For legal reasons: yes. It’s called creative research.) This is NOT a serious art podcast. There are no quiet gallery voices.Nobody says “juxtaposition” fourteen times while holding a tiny glass of wine.No one’s analysing “the emotional tension of negative space” like they’re decoding ancient scripture. Sometimes art just means I drank too much coffee at 9am and aggressively launched neon pink at a canvas until something spiritually confusing appeared. This podcast is graffiti-splattered pop art chaos in audio form.Imagine a rollercoaster made from spray cans, seaside sugar, caffeine, glitter, poor decision-making, and one suspiciously warm energy drink found in a backpack. Messy? Absolutely.Slightly dangerous? Probably.Mentally supervised? Not even close.A good time? Without question. So go on.Jump into the chaos before I accidentally get banned from another art shop. 👉 Check out my artwork at http://www.barriejdavies.info 👉 Join my mailing list: http://eepurl.com/dbIy6P

    The Happy Idiot! 

    The Happy Idiot!  Hey, I’m Barrie J Davies — Brighton-based street pop surrealism artist, accidental paint assassin, full-time chaos goblin, and creator of loud, neon, slightly-unhinged artwork that looks like a cartoon had too much caffeine… and welcome to my podcast. This is a daily podcast — which sounds committed and responsible, but honestly it’s mostly just me turning random thoughts into audio before they escape into the wild. Don’t worry though — there are no three-hour “the circle represents society” art lectures here. These are short bursts of colourful nonsense. Tiny audio grenades filled with weird ideas, studio chaos, questionable observations, and whatever bizarre thing has decided to live in my brain rent-free that day. There are usually no guests either. Mainly because this feels less like a podcast and more like you accidentally answered a voicemail from a sleep-deprived artist covered in spray paint. One minute I’m talking about a new print.The next I’m wondering why pigeons walk like divorced dads late for a meeting. The studio itself currently looks like a neon carnival exploded inside a comic book store. There’s graffiti everywhere, paint on things paint should never legally be on, giant canvases, stencils, ink, pop art madness, and enough colour to temporarily blind a Victorian child. Honestly, there’s so much paint flying around that even Jackson Pollock would walk in, take one look around, whisper “absolutely not,” and leave. This podcast is basically the behind-the-scenes soundtrack to being a Brighton artist making street pop art, surreal work, and colourful chaos while surviving entirely on coffee and bad ideas that somehow become good ideas. Because it’s daily and completely unpredictable, literally anything can happen. One episode might be about a fresh artwork that looks like it’s been dipped in radioactive candy floss.Another might just be me questioning whether staring at a dripping paintbrush counts as productivity. (I’ve decided yes. It’s called creative research.) This is not a serious art podcast. There are no quiet gallery voices.No one says “juxtaposition” for forty minutes.No deep intellectual debates about “the emotional tension of negative space.” Sometimes art just means I drank too much coffee and attacked a canvas with neon pink. This is graffiti-splattered, pop art chaos in podcast form. Imagine a rollercoaster made from spray cans, seaside sugar, glitter, bad decisions, and one suspicious energy drink. Messy? Yes.Slightly dangerous? Probably.A good time? Absolutely. So go on — jump into the chaos. 👉 Check out my artwork at http://www.barriejdavies.info 👉 Join my mailing list: http://eepurl.com/dbIy6P

    Colour As A Weapon 

    Colour As A Weapon  Hey, I’m Barrie J Davies — Brighton-based street pop surrealism artist, full-time chaos enthusiast, professional paint spiller, and proud creator of all things loud, neon, silly, and slightly unhinged… and welcome to my podcast. This is a daily podcast — but don’t panic. No long, serious, “let’s analyse the meaning of life through a triangle” episodes here. These are short, unpredictable bursts of creative nonsense. Think quick hits of whatever weird idea, colourful moment, or questionable thought has decided to move into my brain rent-free that day. There are usually no guests either. It’s more like you’ve accidentally checked your voicemail and found a message from a slightly chaotic artist. A quick ramble, a strange idea, a behind-the-scenes moment… then I disappear back into the studio to throw paint at something. And speaking of the studio… right now it looks like a neon carnival crashed into a comic book and then exploded. There’s graffiti, pop art, pop surrealist madness, prints, canvases, ink, stencils — absolute chaos. Honestly, there’s so much paint flying around that even Jackson Pollock would walk in, look around, and quietly leave. On this podcast, I share the behind-the-scenes of being a Brighton artist making street pop art and surreal work, plus all the weird thoughts bouncing around my head. One day I might be talking about a fresh print that looks like it’s been dipped in candy floss… the next, I’m questioning why pigeons walk like they’ve got somewhere important to be. (They don’t.) Because it’s daily and completely unpredictable, anything can happen. One episode might be about a painting I’ve just finished, the next might be a completely random idea that appeared while I was staring at a dripping paintbrush wondering if that counts as productivity. This is not your typical art podcast. No quiet gallery voices. No serious debates. No “what does art mean?” chat. (Spoiler: sometimes it means I had too much coffee.) This is colourful, chaotic, graffiti-splattered, pop art nonsense in podcast form. Think of it like a rollercoaster made of spray cans, glitter, and seaside sugar — slightly dangerous, definitely messy, but a very good time. So go on — jump in, have a listen, and join the chaos. 👉 Check out my artwork at http://www.barriejdavies.info 👉 Join my mailing list: http://eepurl.com/dbIy6P
