    ArtFreaks Ep6: Avoiding Negativity to Follow Your Dreams with American Artist Frenemy

    ArtFreaks Ep6: Avoiding Negativity to Follow Your Dreams with American Artist Frenemy

    In this episode of ArtFreaks we are joined by American Artist, Frenemy.
    Constantly learning and adapting, Frenemy has had an interestingly varied career thus far. With roots in Graffiti and Hardcore Punk, Frenemy has continued to experiment with new ways of working that have led to big commercial illustration clients like Converse, a new hustle in tattooing and, more recently, creating video games with The Sandbox.
    In this episode we talk about the importance of staying open to creative collaborations, of following your gut, trying new things and perhaps most vital, never giving up.
    The game that we discuss is now LIVE! Go to Frenemys social links to find out more.
    I hope you enjoy our chat :)

    ArtFreaks Ep5: The BRAVERY of being VULNERABLE with Margate based Video Artist Guy J Oliver

    ArtFreaks Ep5: The BRAVERY of being VULNERABLE with Margate based Video Artist Guy J Oliver

    In this episode of ArtFreaks we are joined by Margate based Video Artist, Guy J Oliver.
    Often musical, with humorous word-play, Guy's films expertly balance a light-heartedness approach to serious topics with a deeply personal narrative that is so admirably vulnerable that it leads the viewer to self reflect and examine their own feelings and relationships.
    In this episode we talk about the thinking behind the video work and how his increasingly vulnerable and personal films are conceived.
    We also discuss Quench, a non-profit gallery and project space situated in Margate, run by Guy and his partner Artist Lindsey Mendick.  Quench is centered around community and support that allows emerging artists the freedom to explore new ideas and put on exhibitions to showcase their talent.
