Really enjoyed this! Some very relevant information for me in here. Great interview – thanks!
Glad you enjoyed it, Shana. I’m always amazed at how much my guests have to bring to the table. It’s such a joy to be able to speak with people like Martin.
Another very interesting interview, Thomas! Thanks as always. Looking at Martin’s work, I was truly impressed by the immediacy and almost gestural sense of motion in his pieces- very interesting, after having heard how carefully he plans and sketches and thumbnails etc…I would not have guessed. Beautiful work!
Thank you for the interview with Martin French. His work, and his words are dynamic and inspiring.
“file not found”?
:(
It should be working. Try again?
Works now :) thank you.
So, you did it again! Like always this was inspirational interview. I was especially glad hearing answer for the last question about individual approach and style.
Martin’s work has always been inspirational to me, but it was so good to hear him talk about it. What he said about finding a personal voice as an artist was great. Thank you for the podcast.
