The Only Failure Is Not To Try! 

The Only Failure Is Not To Try! Hey there, I’m Barrie J Davies – a Brighton-based street pop surrealism artist, full-time mischief-maker, professional colour-splasher, and unapologetic creator of all things fun, silly, neon, and gloriously ridiculous – and welcome to my podcast! Right now, my Brighton art studio looks like a neon carnival collided with a comic book and exploded across walls full of graffiti art, pop art prints, pop surrealist mixed media canvases, and urban art murals. There are screen prints and original artworks flying off the table faster than I can stack them, projects bubbling up like fizzy rainbow soda, and enough paint splatters, stencils, and ink drips to make Jackson Pollock look like a neat freak. It’s chaotic, loud, messy… and gloriously alive with creative energy. On this podcast, I share the behind-the-scenes of my life as a Brighton contemporary artist working across street pop art and pop surrealism, the strange and silly ideas bouncing around my mind, and all the colourful adventures of creating urban art, graffiti-inspired pieces, and pop culture-fuelled prints with a surreal twist. Some days, I’ll be talking about a brand-new screen print dipped in candy floss, other days I might be rambling about why pigeons look like performance artists, or why glitter should be an essential part of any pop surrealist mixed media artwork. Basically, if it’s ridiculous, neon, and fun, it’s in. This isn’t your typical art podcast. There are no hushed gallery tones, no serious critiques, and no long-winded discussions about “the meaning of art” (yawn). This is about colourful street art, playful pop art, pop surrealism, graffiti-inspired creations, and joyful mixed media experiments. Think of it like a rollercoaster made of spray paint cans, glitter bombs, and seaside rock – you never quite know what’s coming next, but it’s guaranteed to be a creative, colourful ride. So buckle up, tune in, and dive headfirst into this seaside storm of Brighton street art, pop surrealism, pop art prints, mixed media fun, and urban art chaos. 👉 Check out my artwork at http://www.barriejdavies.info 👉 Join the mailing list: http://eepurl.com/dbIy6P
