from The Independent Artist Podcast · host Douglas Sigwarth/ Will Armstrong/ Matthew Naftzger
Working Artists! You are not alone! Listen to these entertaining and inspirational podcast conversations with working artists.Step into the mind of Matthew Naftzger! "Stubborn!" he says, "I don't want to work in a shitty job just to pay for an expensive house. I don't even want to make artwork I don't want to make." Living and working out of a box truck or buying abandoned houses to renovate are ways he feels free. In his pursuit of "choosing a life," Matthew describes how he has adapted his behavior to how his brain works. Discovering as an adult that he experiences ADHD brought into focus the "self-taught mechanisms" he's used to convert "circular thinking to linear thinking." Matthew is an artist who works in various mediums, such as metal sculpture, jewelry, and painting. This conversation shares his experiences with mental health while listening to the universe along the way. https://matthew.works/#stubbornartist #artistinspiration #independentartist #independentartistpodcast #indieartspod #artistpath #artistpodcast #artistconversations #artistprocess #workingartist #matthewnaftzger #metalsmithing #contemporaryjewelry #getfunky #workworkwork #contemporarycraft #adhdartist #customring #smallsculpture #scifi #dystopiantableware #process #oddities #futureartifact #futurepast #rocket #dystopian #pghartist #morequestions #listentotheuniverse #choosingalife #artistinspiration #starvingartist #artisticvision #youtubepodcastVisual artists Douglas Sigwarth https://www.sigwarthglass.com/ and Will Armstrong http://www.willarmstrongart.com/ co-host and discuss topics affecting working artists.
