This is one of my favourite discussions, with one of the most iconic designers of all time - Peter Yee We discuss how pain tolerance is essential in a creative career in fact, the path of the creative is one of the most uncomfortable you can take.Most people give up at the first sign of pain.Peter didn’t give up and as a result, 90% of the planet has seen his work at some point. From the Oakley ‘O’ logo, to his the over-the-top eyewear design, Peter’s designs have become timeless.It was an honour to interview such a legend and I’m really excited to share this conversation with you!Follow Peter Yee here: https://www.instagram.com/peteryeedesign To hear more, visit creativerebels.substack.com

Pain, Discomfort and Iconic Design - with Peter Yee #240

There have been three episodes of this show this year that have had a real impact on the art I’m making - podcasts with Luisa Omielan, Oliver Jeffers and this week’s episode with Alex Chinneck.Alex makes huge, incredible sculptures that deconstruct the world and put it back together. His work is surreal, it breaks the rules of gravity and physics.“There are more artists than opportunities” it’s time to become one of the artists that is getting the opportunities.Alex’s website - https://www.alexchinneck.com/Alex’s insta - https://www.instagram.com/alexchinneck/?hl=enIf you like this episode, tell everyone you’ve ever met, please.

I was sitting at my kitchen table. Beans, my tiny cavapoo, was asleep on my lap. 4.29pm. 1 minute until the podcast is due to start. I go through the usual checks - mic is connected. Camera is on. My hat isn’t crooked. Internet is connected.Suddenly, my screen goes blank and a pop up appears.. “something something updates restart” Beans stirs as loud shutdown music plays. I hate being late. I start to panic. It’s so embarrassing to have a guest left in an online waiting room.It’s 4.33pm. I manage to get back online and luckily, my guest isn’t there yet.I quickly check my emails in case she came and went. Nothing, I’m in the clear.Six minutes later, Marsha logs in.“Sorry I’m late” she says, “I’ve been listening to your podcast so much that I feel like I know you. I was getting ready, thinking ‘it’s only David, he won’t mind’”I didn’t mind at all.This weeks guest is Yes Yes Marsha - she’s a storytelling expert.You won’t want to miss this one.***Marsha’s secret web page for you with EVERYTHING she mentioned - yesyesmarsha.com/creativerebels@yesyesmarsha on all socials too To hear more, visit creativerebels.substack.com

Storytelling for Creatives with Yes Yes Marsha #236

I started a podcast as a hack. I wanted to speak to my heroes. If you email Seth Godin, Debbie Millman or Oliver Jeffers and ask for an hour of their time, the answer will probably be no.A podcast is the cheat code to having a conversation you never imagined you’d have and this week I get to tick another hero off of my list and share it with you.Oliver Jeffers has sold 18million books. But the first thing I asked about was his dip paintings. Because, it’s one of my all time favourite art projects.We spoke about Oliver’s long career as an author, illustrator and artist and navigating between them. This will be an episode I come back to many times. I hope you enjoy it.

Break Free From Your Paycheck - with Jason Naylor #234

Dr Rebecca Marks jokes that we shouldn’t listen to what critics and art historians say, but some of her unique takes in this interview, have been rattling around my brain since our discussion. Rebecca is an art historian, writer, and social media creator which is an interesting and pretty unique Ven diagram.  In this episode we discussed some big topics, like the purpose of art and the ‘starving artist’ cliche. If you’re a long-time listener, you’ll know I’m always struggling with the tension of making art for yourself vs making it for an audience. My biggest take away from talking to Rebecca was her opinion that when an artist expresses their individual experience, it becomes an “expression of universal experience” that can resonate with a huge number of people.I hope you enjoy this one :) To hear more, visit creativerebels.substack.com

The Dogs Bark, the Car Moves On - with Dr Rebecca Marks #233

It’s time to take yourself seriously.It’s time to give those silly little drawings or that silly little writing the respect it truly deserves.No longer will we be delusional. We are going to stop running from the villain and find the truth that is keeping our creative voice small.This week’s guest is the incredible Vanessa Aldrich.Vanessa’s Tiktok - https://www.tiktok.com/@vanessadomslifeVanessa’s substack - https://vanessaaldrich.substack.com/Vanessa’s website - https://www.anotefromself.com/ To hear more, visit creativerebels.substack.com

The Villain Challenge - with Vanessa 'Life is Art' Aldrich #232

This week I sit down with Quyen Dinh aka The Parlor WorkshopThe TikTok algo served me up one of Quyen’s incredible creations and I knew I had to try and get some time with this wonderland creator!We spoke about Quyen’s wiggly path to get where she is today. Growing up in a strict Vietnamese family, Quyen’s dad told her that art was selfish and that she needed to get a proper job.It’s something I see with so many creatives, the pressure of not ‘letting down’ your family can be really intense. At the end of it all though, you must follow your curiosity and live your own life. I’ve met countless people who have buried their creativity to please others and they always have huge regrets.In this episode we discuss;* The philosophy of pain and growth* Overcoming fear to create* Sacrificing income for creative freedom* Whether you need to post frequently on social media to be successful* And much more!If you like this episode, take out an ad in your local paper and let everyone know.

If It Doesn't Make You Cry, You're Not Growing - with Quyen Dinh #231

Creatives can learn so much from comedians.If a painting, a piece of writing or a sculpture goes wrong for us at least it doesn’t go wrong on stage in front of 100 people. All artists are bearing their soul to an audience in one way or another but I believe comedians are the bravest, to do it so publicly.It’s always a pleasure to bring you an episode with the brilliant Liz Miele.In this episode we discuss;* Pay what you want platforms for creatives.* Being demonetized on YouTube and shadowbanned on Insta* Staying true to your craft as a creative and ignoring trends* The ‘fans’ that don’t deserve your workIf you enjoy this episode, please share it. Keep creating <3 To hear more, visit creativerebels.substack.com

Fuelled by Revenge - with Liz Miele #230

I’m excited to let you into the room to hear a discussion I was lucky enough to be a part of recently.I’ve just completed an artist residence at the University of Warwick, called ‘Retreat to Create’ as well as creating a mural and giving a keynote to the students, I hosted the panel talk you’re about to hear! My guests were; Doreen Foster who is the director of the Warwick Arts Centre, Jonothan Neelands the professor of creative education at UoW and Denisha Anderson who is an artist, filmmaker, photographer and documentary producer. We spoke about a big topic - the state of creativity in 2025. To hear more, visit creativerebels.substack.com

Choosing the creative path isn’t for everyone.In fact, if you do, you’re purposely choosing an incredibly challenging life.But when you realise that everything is made up and you can choose to do whatever you want in life, things get easier.My favourite quote from this week’s guest, Erin Nystrom, is ‘if you don’t know yourself the world will tell you who to be’.I let the world tell me who I should be for the longest time. It takes a lot of courage to stand up and say, ‘I’m an Artist’ ( or writer/sculptor/poet/dressmaker/etc)You’re about to listen to a podcast that will make standing up 1% easier, because it will always be hard but maybe that 1% is what you’ve been waiting for.I hope this episode resonates with you like it did with me.Erin’s substack:  To hear more, visit creativerebels.substack.com

The Rules Don't Matter - with Erin Nystrom #229

I’ll try and get Soph back again, because this podcast is a masterclass!We spoke about everything arty in this episode but one of the stand outs to me was our discussion on Sophie’s now famous ‘Charity Shop’ series. Sophie goes to a charity shop, buys an item, paints on it, returns it to the shop and the item is then resold. It has catapulted the already well known artist into another stratosphere. Soph knew she wanted to create an episodic series and we dive into everything it takes to make it. I’m currently seeing that the creators that are smashing it at the moment are making content in public. I wrote about it HEREHopefully this sparks something for you and your art!The article I reference during this episode is by the excellent The Black Hoody and can be found HEREFind Sophie on all channels by searching SOPHIE TEA ART  To hear more, visit creativerebels.substack.com

Slay Social Media - with Sophie Tea #228

I know a lot of brilliant creatives who make incredible work. They don’t get many jobs, however, because they’re unprofessional. Missing deadlines, not delivering what was promised, being inconsistent - these are not the traits of the professional creative.Christoph Niemann is a successful artist, author, animator and illustrator. He has over a million followers on social, he has produced dozens of covers for the New Yorker and the New York Times. There’s even a Netflix doc about him.I was so lucky to sit down and pick his brain and to dissect his success - much of it comes from his professionalism. This episode will help you decide to treat the your creativity with the professionalism it deserves. To show up consistently to create. To find your artistic voice and to develop a portfolio that sells you.Christoph’s Insta - https://www.instagram.com/abstractsunday/?hl=enWebsite - christophniemann.com To hear more, visit creativerebels.substack.com

Your Portfolio is a Promise! with Christoph Niemann #227

The right answer is never the fun answer. Over the years of this podcast we’ve always said - you must choose consistent, daily creative work over the allure of virality. Jami Attenberg is evidence that it works. She uses writing to explore other worlds and connect with a wider audience but it’s her consistency that has made the difference. In this episode you’ll learn how an accountability pact with a friend, turned into tweet which grew into "1000 Words of Summer". A project, which now has a global community of over 50,000 people, helping countless individuals finish projects and even secure book deals. Jamie emphasises that true success comes from relentless dedication and self-accountability, not waiting for external permission or allowing projects to "abandon ship". If you can commit to 1000 words a day, your life could change.I’m so excited to share this episode with the powerhouse Jami Attenberg, with you all!Let me know what you think :)Jami’s substack - Website - https://www.jamiattenberg.com/1000wordsInsta - https://www.instagram.com/jamiattenberg/ To hear more, visit creativerebels.substack.com

1000 Words A Day Changed My Life - with Jami Attenberg #226

Sure, on it’s surface this episode might sound like two Pokémon fans chatting about toys, but we got much deeper…I listen through each episode and take notes, before uploading and this episode garnered the most notes of any episode this season!So-Hee’s career is the definition of follow your curiosity. She has experimented, she’s gone from digital and cutting edge new tech to pshysical and traditional making.This episode deals with the very real issues of creating a sustainable career, the challenges of being a creative when you have a 9-5 and following your intuition - even when ‘market indicators’ are screaming that you’re wrong.So Hee Woo’s insta: https://www.instagram.com/soheewoo/?hl=enAnd her Tik Tok: https://www.tiktok.com/@smoheesmooFor more creative rebels content, and to support the podcast, visit https://creativerebels.substack.com/ To hear more, visit creativerebels.substack.com

F**K What's 'Popular', Get Creative - with So-Hee Woo #225

Brooke Cormier says that to make it as an artist you need ‘delusional confidence’. And I agree.In over 200 interviews on this show, speaking with the very best creatives in the entire world, self belief is a reoccuring trait.If you can find the bravery to declare yourself an artist and you keep showing up, even when it feels as though no body cares, things will start to happen.There are also some big lessons in this episode about why people actually buy art, the main roadblocks all creatives face and the importance of following our curiosity.As always, share this with a creative friend! And we’ll see you again next week when we talk to incredible creative and maker So-Hee Woo. To hear more, visit creativerebels.substack.com

The Confidence to be An Artist - with Brooke Cormier #224

Communication is the most important tool of the creative.It’s also often one of the most overlooked.I used to think the skill of my painting was the important part. I’ve realised it’s not.The important thing is to communicate what your art is about. That’s what grows your following and your career.Learning to communicate effectively is what will set you apart from everyone else in your field.This week’s guest is Adam Aleksic - the Etymology Nerd. He has built an audience of over 1.6 million followers on instagram.He’s been able to do this because he knows how to communicate.His approach is strategic and replicable. Even in the age of the algorithm.We often give mythical powers to the algorithms.Adam explains what they actually are and how they affect our entire lives- even down to the way we algo-speak.While the algorithms shape us we have a chance to use them to send our message into the world.Adam is proof that you can make the internet work for you and that it’s not as random as we think.Adam’s book - https://www.penguin.co.uk/books/468266/algospeak-by-aleksic-adam/9781529949148Adam's Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/etymologynerd/ To hear more, visit creativerebels.substack.com

How Algorithms Affect Everything - with Adam Aleksic #223

Attention is the world’s most valuable commodity.If you have a smartphone your attention is being quietly siphoned away from you. 30 minutes here, an hour there. It’s subtle and more dangerous than most of us will give credit.If your life is where your attention goes then, not to be too dramatic but your life is being stolen.I do believe it’s theft because it’s not accidental, it’s by design and I think we should be angry about it. Sure, we all enjoy certain aspects of being online but the game is not our enjoyment. Tech companies want us so addicted that we’re online 24/7.This all sounds like I’m leading towards the magic solution. Sorry, I don’t know the answer, I’m just as addicted as you. I’m hopeful though, because I’m at stage 1 - admitting I have a problem. From here we can start to work out some solutions.This week’s guest is August Lamm and she has found a solution, albeit a drastic one - she’s ditched the internet altogether.Some people can get quite angry about this decision, they think August is selfish and entitled.I’ll be honest, we’re lucky that this interview even happened. My UK number wasn’t working properly in New York. I could get imessage, but that’s no good for August’s brick phone.Share this episode with a friend (not if they’re offline though)There were times when I was trying to contact August but the New York Library was closed. One day I got a string of emails, ending with “I’m going to have to go. I’m using the computers in the Apple store and they’re getting pissed off with me”It’s slightly annoying to arrange meetings with an offline person. I’m sure August faces some of these difficulties every day. But I really don’t think it’s anything to be mad about. Your sanity is your responsibility and if that means not participating with what everyone else deems normal, so be it.I deleted WhatsApp about 7 years ago. I know it’s a pain for some people but I will never go back and if you really want to speak to me you’ll work it out.I’ve lost friends because I don’t drink alcohol.I leave parties at 9pm because I go to bed at 10.Your most important people will understand.When I first went sober it definitely wasn’t the norm. Now if you don’t drink, it’s pretty universally accepted.Maybe it’ll be that way with the internet someday. Maybe we’ll recognise that scrolling is worse than smoking. Maybe more and more of us will get offline.There are dumb phone communities popping up here and there and it feels like collectively we’re all starting to agree that our screen time is too high. Ditching the internet does feel extreme though and I really want to believe that there are less dramatic actions we can take. August disagrees. Only time will tell.

The Girl With No Internet - August Lamm #222

I travelled to the middle of the woods, in Wilmington Delaware, to interview recovered alcoholic and heroin addict, Jackass and Viva La Bam star, Brandon Novak.I took an hour long uber, from Philadelphia to get to Bandon’s place in Wilmington, Delaware. My Uber driver chatted non stop as eventually we started veering away from civilisation and snaking through tree lined tracks until we approached Brandon’s property.Brandon is sat on a bench outside the house as I pull up. He’s wearing just a pair of shorts, no shirt, no shoes. I try and read some of the words on his heavily tattooed torso as I walk over.It’s clear that he’s on a call, so we do that silent hello thing, he daps me up and gives me a hug.I sit down next to him as the call continues. It’s gently raining but it’s so warm (that sticky American heat) so the sporadic rain drops are actually a relief.He’s talking business. ‘Novak’s house’ is a sober living facility.The business side of helping people sounds intense.The call concludes and we go inside.Brandon had moved into his new digs a week prior. The bones of the house are beautiful. There’s a couple of pieces of flatpack furniture yet to be built and art is stacked in front of the walls, ready to be hung.He shows me an incredible, ornate iron cross, salvaged from the ruins of a French church.I meet his cats.We sit down and have the conversation you’re about to listen to.I was nervous about this interview. I’m not an addiction expert and I didn’t want to focus on Brandon’s lowest moments, like a lot of interviewers do.I’m so happy that I made that decision and this is a conversation that I’m really proud of.Find out more about Brandon’s and his work - Brandonnovak.com To hear more, visit creativerebels.substack.com

The Magic We Are Searching For - with Brandon Novak #221

People often ask me what my favourite episode of Creative Rebels is.Sometimes, what they are really asking is; what’s the magic bullet? The one episode that will answer all my problems and set me on the path to success.It doesn’t work like that. This podcast is a ‘course’.A course that will continue for as long as I’m able, with weekly optional lessons, with optional homework and everyone who listens will graduate at a different time. It’s not one important episode, it’s a series of stories that will build you up for as long as you need it.That being said… This is a really important episode!! Stephanie Harrison is the author of ‘New Happy’ and founder of ‘The New Happy Newsletter’ which has over a million subscribers.Her mission is to break down ‘old happy’ - the ideas most of us have on how to be happy aren’t serving us. In fact, they’re probably making us miserable.Stephanie’s research will challenge the foundations of how you make your work, as a creative.Becoming connected to yourself, others and the world around you is going to change your life.I’ve been struggling with the state of the world lately. As have many creatives I know.How can you make art through a cost of living crisis, through racism, through war and genocide?Stephanie doesn’t sugar coat how bleak our current situation is but rather how to be happy despite it and that actually, your happiness is a defiant act that will help us all. So, if you push me for an answer… This episode is one of my favourites. I think it’ll help. I don’t often say this but this one is ‘must listen’.Check out Stephanie’s website - https://www.thenewhappy.com/Or find her on most socials @newhappyco @stephaniehson To hear more, visit creativerebels.substack.com

How to be a HAPPY Creative - with Stephanie Harrison #220

This episode has nothing to do with sport - please don’t worry ;)I sat down with George Eghator and we spoke about hustle culture, the freedom of discipline, support circles and the difficulty of stepping away from collaborations.Sometimes, it’s hard to take your own advice. Five years ago at an online Creative Rebels event I advised George to take his projects solo. It took me two years to finally take this podcast solo after my co host bowed-out.It was great to chat to George about his journey and I hope you’ll take something away from listening.Find George on insta: https://www.instagram.com/georgeonsports/?hl=enThanks to all of the paid supporters of this podcast, who keep the train on the tracks.

The people you meet will change your life.As an introvert, I wish it wasn’t the case… but that networking event that you don’t want to go to or that email that you don’t want to send could be thing that changes everythingThis weeks guest is Rosie Woods.Rosie travels the world making art. Her career is a tapestry of establishing connections, exploring ideas and following her curiosity.I’m proud to have played a small part in Rosie’s career. She became my first ever apprentice about a decade ago. Rosie was curious about spraypaint so emailed for some pointers. That email turned into a four year apprenticeship. Now, she’s one of the world’s most recognised street artists!Every artists journey is different but after doing hundreds of interviews for this show I’ve noticed some universal truths;The successful artists are the ones that keep going. They find their style by following their curiosity. Opportunities follow them because they take chances and put themselves out there.You can find more of Rosie's work here: http://instagram.com/itsrosiewoods To hear more, visit creativerebels.substack.com

Zoë Allen is founder of Artistic Statements - essentially she puts art into spaces. Zoë is great at talking about getting your work seen and communicating with people about it, whatever that may be. The wonderful thing about working with someone like Zoë, is that you can just be an artist. We need curators, we need cheerleaders and we need people who will empower us to focus on making our best work.With this show I’ll always try to bring you different voices from all over the map and I think discussions like this one with Zoë are important; to demystify the processes that artists have to go through when getting work commissioned.Send Zoë your portfolio - zoe@artisticstatements.co.ukCheck out her website https://www.artisticstatements.co.uk/Zoë’s Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/artisticstatements/ To hear more, visit creativerebels.substack.com

There seems to be a mini-theme of ‘finding yourself’ on the podcast at the moment.Last week we spoke to tattooist Rosie Rackham (in a hugely well received episode) about being lost as a creative, until you find your *thing*.This week Zack Evans is up and before the success of Create.Repeat, he was struggling. The crazy thing is that on the surface, everything was peachy - he was an early internet ‘influencer’. His comedy skits were frequently going viral. He had hundreds of thousands of social followers.But he knew it wasn’t his calling.In this episode we dive into the dark arts of going viral on social media and how to find your purpose.OH btw, if you’re a fan of Creative Rebels, you’ll love Create Repeat - go check them out.Pre-order Zack’s book here: https://www.penguin.co.uk/books/468442/create-repeat-by-evans-zack-and-morgan/9780241737781Create.Repeat’s substack: https://www.createrepeat.com/Create repeat instagram - http://instagram.com/create.repeatCreate Repeat podcast - https://www.youtube.com/@create.repeat To hear more, visit creativerebels.substack.com

If you’ve got big ideas, this is probably the most important episode we’ve ever done.God is a Woman is the pinnacle of a 17 year stand up comedy career.Luisa Omielan has created a musical comedy that tells the truth about Mary Madeline and what happens when you wipe women’s stories from history.The show might not get made.Luisa has sold everything she owns and moved to the states to pursue its creation.That’s how strongly she believes in the idea and how committed she is to doing everything in her power to get it made.Luisa knows that the best chance of success for her musical, is in LA.But the USA is, ‘politically uneasy’ right now. Stewart Lee has stated he wouldn’t tour there at this moment in history.But Luisa is there.She’s there because she believes in her idea and she believes that art is revolution.She believes in using your voice. In saying the hard things, the inconvenient things.She lives on a razors edge. No marketing budget. No PR team. No management.When you don’t have financial backing you have to get inventive and you have to ask for help. Which is one of the hardest things to do. I’m so bad at it when it comes to my own work. But when it comes to other creatives I have no hang ups…If you listen to this episode and you think this project should get made, you should help make it.Luisa is funded by Patreon, where over 500 people, who share her vision, give a small amount each month.You can join them. It’s a revolutionary act, to find your favourite artists and support them.Your whole life, people have projected their doubts onto you. They have told you that obsession is weird. ‘Chase your dreams’ is a cliche. No one tells you how and no one expects you to actually do it.Do you have an idea that you’d sell everything for? If you do, go after it, CHASE it, with every fibre of your being.Luisa's PatreonGod Is A Woman - LIVE in L.A. To hear more, visit creativerebels.substack.com

212 - CHASE Your Fxxking Dreams - with Luisa Omielan

Social media has changed my life.I’m able to support myself as a full time artist. When I have a new show, event or print release, I post online and make sales. I’ve managed to connect with incredible creatives and famous celebrities. It’s a powerful tool.But I don’t enjoy it. I hate the pressure. I feel like everyone all of a sudden hates my work if a post performs badly. I don’t post consistently so I’m often in the instagram dog house. Making a reel takes me forever; I need B roll, a script and a catchy ‘hook’. I’m tired.I JUST WANT TO MAKE ART DAMMIT!Navigating all of this is hard, so I was so happy to chat with Seth Werkheiser who offers a bunch of alternative ways to connect with your audience. Ways that don’t involve spending six hours producing a video that won’t be shown to the people who have chosen to follow you!I hope this ep. inspires you.
