85. Katotahanan at Telic-enesis with Josh Villena

In this episode, we sit down with the ultimate multi-disciplinary creative, Josh Villena! While you might know him as the brilliant frontman of Autotelic, Josh has been taking over the internet under his solo moniker, totâ.We dive deep into his visual art journey with yeheytota, where his hilariously cursed characters and weird creatures have a habit of going completely viral. Yes, we talk about that legendary Fibonacci spiral caricature of a politician running up the stairs, and his brilliant visual interpretation of Olivia Dean’s lyrics!But behind the viral humor lies a masterclass in creative hustle. Josh opens up about the reality of being a full-time artist in the Philippines and shares his exact formula for compartmentalizing a massive career: balance, creative boundaries, and how he manages Autotelic, totâ, and a thriving visual arts career all at the same time without burning out.It’s a super chill, honest conversation about finding your voice, empowering yourself in the creative industry, and a look into Josh’s actual "drawings" (plans) for the future.Feel free to follow Josh and connect on his socials:FB: https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=61583925215331IG: https://www.instagram.com/yeheytota/TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@yeheytoooootaFor more updates on the podcast, follow our socials:IG: ⁠https://www.instagram.com/dinatodrowing/⁠FB: ⁠https://www.facebook.com/dinatodrowing⁠FB group: ⁠https://www.facebook.com/groups/dinatodrowing⁠YT: ⁠https://www.youtube.com/@alingjoy/podcasts⁠Shopee: ⁠https://shopee.ph/dinatodrowing⁠Mga Drawing Google Form: ⁠https://forms.gle/DcFWxw22mysmSVTCA⁠Merch project: ⁠https://ko-fi.com/dinatodrowing⁠X: ⁠https://twitter.com/dinatodrowing⁠Playback: ⁠https://www.playback.tv/dinatodrowing
