Interview with Paul Roustan

Preston interviews world-renowned body painter and photographer Paul Roustan. During this conversation, Paul shares so much that he has learned and experienced in over 15 years of working as a professional artist. Highlights of this conversation include wonderful tips and observations on social media and how to be a humble artist, his origins in the world of drawing and comics, colorful highlights and horror stories from some of his best body painting gigs and photo shoots, growing your YouTube channel, his experience with going viral the first time and many times thereafter, his decision to focus on and celebrate women in his work, finding a caboose in the middle of the desert, digging in and giving back to the community that he loves, and much much more. Check out more of Paul's awesome work on his website (http://bodypainter.com), through his YouTube Channel (https://www.youtube.com/roustan), or follow him on his Instagram profile (https://www.instagram.com/roustan). Half-way through our Zoom interview, the audio shifts a bit and we also are serenaded periodically by some local birds.  Think of it as some soothing background meditation sounds while you soak up some knowledge from Paul Roustan.
