Hello Hello* On this episode, our guest Cody Marian - an amazing visual creative - discusses his experience of creating daily art for over 1,230 days and the impact it has had on his life. He talks about the initial motivation behind the challenge and how it has helped him grow as an artist. Cody also shares his approach to balancing multiple projects and working with different clients. He emphasizes the importance of finding clients who appreciate his work and are willing to trust his creative choices. Cody's unique style is influenced by everyday objects and non-designer designs, and he aims to create work that is visually appealing and intriguing. He speaks on his experience in navigating the design and art space, and his upcoming magazine project. They also talk about their interest in disc golf and their plans for future collaborations.

Liner Notes:

Creating daily art for an extended period of time can lead to personal and artistic growth.

Finding clients who appreciate and trust your creative choices is crucial for a fulfilling working relationship.

Being open to inspiration from everyday objects and non-designer designs can result in a unique and visually appealing style.

Balancing multiple projects requires effective time management and prioritization.

Sometimes it is necessary to compromise and adapt to clients' preferences, but it is important to maintain artistic integrity. Sometimes clients buy designs but never use them, and there's nothing you can do about it.

Navigating the design and art space can be challenging, especially for those who don't fit into traditional categories.

Creating a magazine that is fun, cool, and inclusive without being edgy or alienating is a goal for Cody's upcoming project.

Disc golf is a low-barrier, approachable version of golf that Cody enjoys and wants to get better at.

Collaborating with like-minded people and having creative control over projects can be incredibly fulfilling
