episode 249 : onnie o'leary

This week we’re coming to you from Miranda’s living room sofa in Chiang Mai, Thailand. Our guest is the brilliant Onnie O’Leary, a tattooer and visual artist from Sydney, Australia, who has just wrapped up a three-week guest residency at Hello, Print Friend Studios.

Onnie and Miranda dive into what it’s been like living and working together under one roof, how tattooing and printmaking share a surprising number of parallels, and the magic that happens when creative collaboration is allowed to bloom. They talk about ghosts, guts, glowing girls, and the deep human connection found in making art side-by-side.

It’s a warm, funny, and heartfelt conversation about inspiration, pressure, and why sometimes the final artwork is just the byproduct of something even more beautiful.
