It’s lucky number 13 for the official #wacom podcast, Why We Create.
In this episode we sat down with PDX based Creative Director, Concept Artist and aspiring Improv actor, Barret Thomson of Deep Sky to dish on all things concept art, the influence of traveling, working with musicians and so much more.
Barret’s influence at Deep Sky can be seen across their amazing portfolio of work, including their in house project “It’s the Little Things” (which you can watch on YouTube) and their stellar animation for the music video for the five-part animated series called 'In Ashes 'by the Smashing Pumpkins. Barret’s personal work is just as exciting as his professional work and leads you to imagine the most fantastic stories… you know, like how did Medusa’s head get on that shield… and what would happen to you if you forgot to remove your symbiotic lung?
Conversation Topics include:
⛵ Steering the creative ship via Concept Art
🤷♂️ “What if” helps keep the wheels turnings
🎭 Improv skills ARE helpful in real life
🪄 Animation is Magic
🐍 ⚔️ Perseus Killed Medusa (we googled)
