Today I recorded a mini ( less than 15 minutes ) test episode, for what seems to become my future podcast, working title: The Life of Hypersensitivosaurus. Although I'm considering to call it Unfinished Stories or The Neverending Story of Hypersensitivosaurus.
It will be a podcast about the creative process, possibly recorded while actually creating.
That is exactly what I did today. I painted intuitively, while talking.
It has been a while, since I last experimented with podcasting, back then with my friends @selfhelp4trolls ( formerly known as
@whatamidoing ) and
@inuke Let's just say that today felt like the right moment to get back into it. And this time I really feel like going for it, without overcomplicating things. The latter is often why my projects
fail fall apart.
A couple of hours ago, I shared my test result with my good friend @clareartista , as she inspires me a lot and I've been listening to her podcast(s) for a year or two now. If anyone can talk about art ( and life ), it's her.
She's also a master at motivating others. And let's be honest, getting positive feedback from the get go is something that is extremely important in the premature stages of a project ( when self doubt is awaiting around the corner to hammer a project idea back into the ground and bury it forever ).
Thank you clare! :<)
Anyhow, I just felt like sharing this joyous news, also to hold myself accountable and actually pursue this idea.
If you've been following me for a while, you will be aware of the fact that it is - and has always been - about the ( creative ) process for me. And therefore I will do whatever I can to keep the process ( of this podcast ) as fun and flexible as possible, aiming to not set too high a standard.
Improvement will follow along the way, as it always does, as a result of having fun with the process.
TO BE CONVINUED...
P.S. Yes, I will continue with my writing. It's just that I feel and have felt, for ages, that mere writing and illustrating isn't enough of a creative outlet for me and there's better ways to share the process and, hopefully, interact with the world.
P.P.S. I am aiming to go for the so called Podcasting 2.0 model, based on value for value, which means that I won't be using a centralized platform like Spotify or Apple Podcasts to get my voice heard.
