I’M OFF TO THE SHOP DO YOU WANT ANYTHING? 

from Barrie J Davies · host Barrie J Davies

I’M OFF TO THE SHOP DO YOU WANT ANYTHING? Hey. I'm Barrie J Davies, a Welsh street pop surrealism artist based in Brighton, an accidental paint goblin, and a man held together almost entirely by caffeine, neon paint fumes, and the misplaced confidence of a raccoon that has somehow stolen a bumper car and now believes it owns the road.Welcome to my podcast. I apologise in advance, but only in the same way a tornado apologises to a garden shed.This is a daily podcast, which remains a genuinely questionable life choice for someone who once lost a coffee mug under a pile of canvases for so long that it probably started a new family and now refuses to answer my calls. There are now more than 333 episodes of this thing. At this point, nobody is entirely sure whether it's a podcast, a performance artwork, or evidence being assembled for future legal proceedings.I also have a website at www.barriejdavies.info. It's packed with paintings, prints, sculptures, exhibitions, projects, and a frankly alarming amount of proof that nobody has yet stepped in to stop me. The whole thing is basically an attempt to organise the contents of a brain that once spent half an hour deciding which shade of neon yellow best represented the emotional state of a flamingo being told it couldn't park there.If you enjoy chaotic studio nonsense and increasingly questionable creative decisions, follow my Instagram, @barriejdavies. You'll find behind-the-scenes artwork, studio updates, painting disasters, and regular evidence that buying more paint is apparently my preferred substitute for developing a personality.There are no guests on this podcast. There are no meaningful silences, no whispered conversations about the symbolism of triangles, and no softly spoken man called Sebastian explaining emotional collapse while an accordion cries gently beside a chair made entirely from recycled teaspoons. It's just me talking far more often than any reasonable person should.The podcast itself has the energy of a supermarket trolley full of spray paint that has somehow become sentient, rejected all advice, and is now rolling downhill through Brighton while being followed by a seagull shouting insults. Every episode is simply whatever escaped my brain before it could be contained by modern science. One day it's a new painting. The next it's an unnecessarily detailed investigation into why pigeons walk like middle managers trying to avoid an awkward conversation.The studio currently looks like a children's television channel exploded inside a graffiti tunnel. There is paint on the walls, paint on the floor, paint on clothes specifically chosen to avoid getting paint on them, and somehow paint on the toaster. The toaster has never once been involved in the artistic process. The toaster is innocent. The toaster deserved better.Glitter also continues to appear in rooms where glitter has never been and has absolutely no logical means of arrival. I've ruled out drafts, visitors, and basic physics. The only explanation left is that glitter has become self-aware and is slowly spreading its influence.The whole operation is loud, colourful, messy, and functioning well beyond the boundaries of common sense. Several international health-and-safety organisations would probably like a word, but I'm choosing to focus on the artwork instead.So come and join the chaos. Visit the website, follow the Instagram, and subscribe to the podcast. Do all three if you're feeling particularly brave. Just be warned: once you're involved, the glitter eventually finds you. Nobody knows how. Nobody knows why. But it always does.👉 BUY MY FUN ART HERE – ⁠https://www.barriejdavies.info⁠👉 JOIN MY FUN MAILING LIST – ⁠https://⁠⁠eepurl.com/dbIy6P⁠👉 FOLLOW MY FUN INSTAGRAM – ⁠https://www.instagram.com/barriejdavies⁠ 👉 LUCKY DIP ART - ⁠https://www.barriejdavies.info/products/lucky-dip-artwork⁠
