What is a Creative? - A Look into the Business of Art

“Creative is an interesting profession because it's a little bit like singing in the shower. Everybody thinks they can sing because they have a voice in the same way that everybody thinks that they're a chef because they have a mouth and everybody thinks they're a graphic designer because they have eyes,” says creative director and former podcast guest Jonathan Deiss. He goes on to point out about the idea of being a creative is hard for some to grasp. “The truth is it's a profession where the professional ethos and the things you learn as a professional are not immediately obvious to a person looking in from the outside.” So, what is a creative then? How do you explain what you do? Can you?

On this episode, we get some great advice from Funko creative director Reis O'Brien, illustrator and concept artist Jeremy Saliba, Virtual production VFX artist Charmaine Chan, and stop motion artist Aaron Guadamuz.
