Ep 277: Anthony Burrill, artist and designer shares his story of crafting his own creative career
Few artists or designers transcend the industry when it comes to name recognition, but Anthony Burrill is one of them. His iconic typographic artworks, including 'work hard and be nice to people,' adorn the walls of many far beyond the creative industry, hitting the sweet spot between mass appeal and personal intimacy.
I travel to Rye and visit Anthony's studio, which overlooks a stunning wildflower meadow created with his lovely wife and garden designer, Emma, where he takes me on a journey through his career.
From working-class roots to his standing as an inspiration to many in the arts, via study in Manchester, London, and commercial art and design, it's a beauty.

Ep 276: This Uncertain Moment with Claudine O'Sullivan, artist and illustrator
Is what you were enough anymore? Do we run for the hills as the machines come for our jobs, or drill even deeper into who we are, what we stand for, and where we were going?
I'm joined by artist and illustrator Claudine O'Sullivan to share her story of adapting to life as a new mother, artificial intelligence, and economic unrest.
We discuss the fear, the opportunities, and how the hell we begin to choose our direction in fast-changing times, no matter whether you're an illustrator, graphic designer, animator, creative director, or anything across the arts.
