Inspiration may be closer than you think.
Inspired by his surroundings – his love for the sea & surf, or the New Zealand trees and wildlife outside his studio space – Greg is creating Kiwiana-inspired artwork
“Observation is outside.”
~ Dick Frizzel
Today’s guest is renowned for his use of bright hues and bold vector graphics, he’s Auckland Illustrator, Graphic Designer, & Artist: Greg Straight.
Greg perfectly treads the line between creativity and commerce. His clients include large household brands like McDonalds, Good George, Countdown, and more recently Nespresso. His commercial clients respect his vision and approach, and allow him creative freedom to continue in his style.
Greg also makes time to create artwork via his online shop, a perfect accompaniment to his commercial work.
“It’s a burning feeling deep down, that you need to create something.”
And yet, Greg still manages to make time to surf, or spend with his children. The perfect work/life balance!
Tune in as we discuss inspiration, his environment, plowing ahead and pushing on, creating for the sake of creating, exposure and continuing to do your best work. Thanks for listening!
