064 // Interview with Brent Estabrook

Today on the Art + Business + Murals Podcast I am speaking with LA artist, Brent Estabrook. In this interview we talk all things mental health and habits, child-like joy and having famous friends. I have to admit, this interview is one of my favourite of all time. Brent’s positivity, trust in himself and his creativity and tips and tricks have left me with really fun actionable items myself! Do not miss this episode!   Best known for his large-scale oil paintings of stuffed animals, Estabrook approaches his work with a delightful playfulness while maintaining a sedulous painterly technique. His personal ritual of mixing and applying paint is honed to a surgical precision, a method informed by his doctorate education. Laying down each thick, richly pigmented brushstroke with attentive patience, Estabrook builds up a rich impasto that evokes the fibers of plush fabric, velvet, and fleece. The artist harmonizes this pristine and sophisticated painting process with the unfettered joy and curiosity exemplary of child’s play.      If you’d like to check out Brent’s work: Website // https://www.brentestabrook.com Instagram // https://www.instagram.com/brentestabrook/     ———   Thank you so much for tuning into the Art + Business + Murals Podcast If you’d like to say ‘hi’ to me, or if you have any podcast topic ideas or artists you’d like me to interview, please email: [email protected]   Please follow along: Instagram // https://www.instagram.com/sculleydesign/ Facebook // https://www.facebook.com/sculleydesign You Tube // https://www.youtube.com/@SarahSculley/videos Website // https://www.sculleydesign.comFeel free to give this podcast a star rating and ‘follow’ so you are notified when new episodes come out each Monday.
