-
- Personal Journals
Ruben welcomes WRDSMTH, an LA/UK-based street artist and author, to talk about becoming the creator you want to be, reinventing yourself, and being relentless in maintaining your creative freedom.
Known for his word-based street art, WRDSMTH shares his unique journey to becoming an internationally known and respected artist. He sheds light on the role of anonymity in street art and the biggest moments of encouragement he’s experienced along his journey. He also speaks on “creative math”, the power of intention behind street art, and the top 3 pieces of advice he has for creators of all kinds.
“I embrace change. I think reinventing yourself is just the secret to life.” - WRDSMTH
Then, Ruben and WRDSMTH address the importance of creating art for yourself before the commission, how his past in advertising informs his art today, and how to work with brands and agencies without giving up your creative freedom.
“Everything that you’ve ever seen me paint on the wall resonates with something in my life. That’s the secret to it.” - WRDSMTH
