On the season 7 finale of Studio Noize, we got muralist and artist extraordinaire Thomas Evans aka Detour on the podcast! From airbrushing t-shirts in high school to big, colorful murals Detour has been making it happen for a few years. We talk about his Art Tip Tuesdays video series on youtube and IG, how he started making murals, and how he developed his signature style. Detour lets us know how getting away from your daily grind to explore ideas can lead to big discoveries. We discuss his book, Be The Artist: An Interactive Guide to a Lasting Art Career, and his wonderful artwork. All that and more on the Noize! Listen, subscribe, and share!

Thomas Evans, a.k.a. Detour, is an all-around creative specializing in large scale public art, interactive visuals, portraiture, immersive spaces, and creative directing. His focus is to create work where art and innovation meet. A born collaborator and “military brat,” Detour pulls from every conceivable experience that shapes his landscapes and perspectives. Explaining Detour’s work is no easy task, as ongoing experimentations in visual art, music, and interactive technologies have his practice continually expanding. With his ever-evolving approach to art, Detour’s focus is on expanding customary views of creativity and challenging fine-art paradigms by mixing traditional mediums with new approaches—all the while opening up the creative process from that of a singular artist, to one that thrives on multi-layered collaboration and viewer participation.
