Amanda "Din" Duarte discusses with Chris Oatley, her transition from freelance artist to running Mad Boogie Creations, a virtual studio employing over 40 creatives. She reflects on pandemic-induced burnout, highlights the complexities of managing a team, and insights on work-life balance
I'm so heckin' excited that Chris Oatley is releasing podcasts again!! His old podcasts & his online art school (The Oatley Academy) taught me so much of what I know about art and storytelling, and this interview is fantastic.

During this interview I was a little relieved to hear Loish talk about how drawing feels different when you're an adult in comparison to the way it felt when you were a kid. She mentioned that when you're young,you come home from school and can't wait to draw.It's not a choice or a matter of making the time,you just have to.Don't get me wrong, I wholeheartedly love drawing,and it's a priority to do it everyday,but life and adult responsibilities can get in the way.And it's fine. Like she said,those days are a special time in your life and determine the road you might take in the future.I think that as adults we know it's a never ending search for the creative fearlessness we had as kids,and don't stop looking despite that.
This was an online still life painting hosted by Melissa Dow and Sarah Mills of Oatley Academy. It was a fantastic way to connect with other artists and work on observational skills. Can’t wait for the next one!
I illustrated this post where we took the time at Boneshaker Press to thank the professional artists that spend a lot of energy sharing their experience and encouragements to their less experimented peers like us . With a special thank you to Chris Oatley and the Oatley Academy where we all met.

Second assignment for Magic Box; going in with brush work. Luckily I found a higher resolution image of the original painting by Salvador Dali, and it was truer to the original colors as far as I could tell. I re-worked parts of my line-art, such as the dog and the head of the walrus and I feel much better about my painting at this stage.
