Go Weird Or Go Home!

Go Weird Or Go Home!Hey, I’m Barrie J Davies, a Brighton-based street pop surrealism artist, accidental paint goblin, professional nonsense enthusiast, and a man held together mostly by caffeine and poor decisions. Welcome to my podcast.This is a daily podcast, which honestly feels ambitious for someone who once lost a coffee mug under a pile of canvases for three weeks and assumed it had moved away to start a new life.Thankfully, this is not one of those painfully serious art podcasts where someone whispers “the triangle represents grief” over ambient whale noises for two straight hours. This podcast is more like colourful chaos with a microphone attached.Every episode is basically me recording whatever strange thought crash-landed into my brain before it causes emotional or possibly structural damage. One minute I’m talking about a new artwork, and the next I’m wondering why pigeons walk like stressed middle managers late for a meeting nobody wanted.There are usually no guests because this feels less like a professional podcast and more like accidentally answering a voicemail from an over-caffeinated Brighton artist arguing with a spray can at 2am.The studio currently looks like a children’s TV channel got into a bar fight with a graffiti tunnel. There’s paint everywhere, including on objects that absolutely should not contain paint. Half-finished canvases stare at me like disappointed teachers, and glitter somehow keeps appearing in rooms it has never physically entered. I genuinely believe glitter may be haunted.Honestly, there’s so much paint flying around that even Jackson Pollock would walk in, quietly say “steady on, mate,” and slowly leave through the nearest fire exit.This podcast is basically the behind-the-scenes soundtrack to making loud street pop art while surviving entirely on coffee, chaotic energy, and the kind of confidence normally found in people trying to build flat-pack furniture without instructions.Because the podcast is daily and wildly unpredictable, absolutely anything can happen. One episode might be about a new artwork that looks like it was designed by a sugar-rushed cartoon trapped inside a lava lamp. Another episode might just be me spending ten minutes staring at a dripping paintbrush and convincing myself it counts as productivity.For legal reasons, it does. It’s called creative research.This is not a serious art podcast. Nobody is quietly saying “juxtaposition” fourteen times while holding a tiny glass of expensive wine. Nobody is analysing “the emotional tension of negative space” like they’re decoding ancient scripture.Sometimes art simply means I drank too much coffee at 9am and aggressively launched neon pink at a canvas until something spiritually confusing appeared.This podcast is graffiti-covered pop art chaos in audio form. Imagine a rollercoaster built from spray cans, seaside sugar, caffeine, glitter, questionable life choices, and one suspiciously warm energy drink found at the bottom of a backpack.It’s messy, slightly concerning, probably not health-and-safety approved, and somehow still a very good time.So come and join the chaos before I accidentally get banned from another art shop for asking if “industrial amounts of neon pink” counts as a personality trait.👉 BUY MY FUN ART HERE – ⁠https://www.barriejdavies.info⁠👉 JOIN MY FUN MAILING LIST – ⁠https://www.barriejdavies.info/pages/vip-mailing-list👉 FOLLOW MY FUN INSTAGRAM – ⁠https://www.instagram.com/barriejdavies⁠
