When No longer Actual Artwork co-hosts Guy One and Scott Energy got here in combination, they introduced with them all kinds of revel in and more than a few ranges of attainment within the visible verbal exchange house. Coming from other backgrounds—Guy One with the natural fresh fantastic artwork background and Scott steeped within the company business artwork and advertising facet—they knew instantly they’d make a perfect workforce.
When they met, Guy One owned and ran a gallery, and Scott had a minor phase in that operation. From that preliminary collaboration, they evolved a shared ethos targeted at the following questions:
How will we lend a hand artists?
How will we rejoice and lift artists?
What do artists in point of fact want to achieve success?
Says Scott:
“Now and again, artists assume they know, however oftentimes, they in point of fact don’t. And we’re smug sufficient to assume that we in fact know higher. One of the crucial issues we’ve all the time spotted is that artists in point of fact want lend a hand telling their tale and selling their paintings. The problem is that provide outstrips call for—there’s far more artwork in the market than call for for it. So, how are we able to stoke call for for artwork and storytelling within the leisure media? In our view, it is a nice strategy to lend a hand artists in a significant manner.”
Guy One chimes in:
“We’ve recognized each and every different for the reason that early 2000s. Scott is at first from the Chicago space, and he had signed up for a convention I used to be talking at however couldn’t make. So sooner or later, he simply rang me to mention he used to be in point of fact excited about what I used to be doing. I used to be running with a large number of manufacturers on the time and as a graffiti artist in LA as I attempted to get my artwork in the market and do stuff for manufacturers. We started running in combination, and the whole thing roughly simply developed. We mainly turned into brothers the day we met. It used to be only a herbal development.”
In its ten years, the Crewest Gallery produced 100 presentations representing 2000 artists from 20 nations. Even supposing it used to be an out of this world revel in for Guy One and Scott, there got here a second when it used to be transparent that it had served its goal.
Guy One sought after to get again to his artwork, and Scott sought after to get again to his roots via offering ingenious services and products for manufacturers. So, they closed the gallery in 2012, and the 2 mentioned how they may stay the ethos, and the team, alive.
Thus, Crewest Studio—a full-service ingenious company—used to be born. The fellows started running with manufacturers once more and extra intently with artists. Drawing on their life of connections and wonderful community of artists, they learned they may attach the dots in attention-grabbing tactics, which led them down the art-licensing highway, the place they started representing artists as licensing brokers.
Having known that they and their “team” of artists are a part of the $2T ingenious financial system and that artists are underserved via mass media, they made up our minds to begin a media corporate as the root for his or her branding paintings. They’ve a imaginative and prescient for turning into the go-to media corporate—a depended on vacation spot for individuals who paintings within the arts from a media viewpoint.
Says Scott:
“For those who’re a sports activities fan, regardless of which game, you pass to ESPN to scratch that itch. What in the event you’re an artistic? Somebody within the ingenious arts—an artist, arts fanatic, or someone who is solely in point of fact excited about creativity—the place do you pass? We concept we is usually a participant in that house.”
Over time, those ingenious collaborators have engaged in such deep telephone dialog with each and every different about subjects starting from one finish of the spectrum to the opposite that either one of their other halves commented on how they communicate an excessive amount of. They indisputably weren’t going to close up, despite the fact that, so naturally, they made up our minds to begin a podcast. A couple of years in the past, once they started taking a look on the medium, they turned into occupied with serving to produce a pair presentations. However on the finish of the day, the ones presentations weren’t their very own… and that’s once they introduced No longer Actual Artwork.
What’s in point of fact cool is that No longer Actual Artwork isn’t with reference to a podcast. Scott and Guy One sought after to create an ecosystem of symbiotic systems that supported one some other, thereby making a virtuous cycle. Integrated into the emblem is each their artist grant program in addition to an artist’s convention, which paintings in live performance with the podcast.
Guy One says:
“When Scott got here up with the speculation for No longer Actual Artwork, I liked it straight away. I stated, ‘That’s it… that’s the identify. Let’s do it!’ I informed him that I need to stay doing it so long as it’s a laugh. As soon as it begins turning into paintings, I don’t need to do it anymore.
“Scott does the entire prep paintings, modifying, and the entire laborious stuff. I simply display up and riff off the highest of my head, bringing no matter I’ve… which isn’t a lot, from time to time, but it surely makes for a laugh conversations.”
The No longer Actual Artwork podcast mirrors the fellows’ phone conversations in that they speak about the whole thing tradition, track, and artwork beneath the umbrella in their revel in being artists and rising up within the artwork tradition, the place the whole thing strikes 100 miles in step with hour.
Says Scott:
“After all, we didn’t know what we didn’t know! We were given excited, went to Guitar Middle, and my spouse noticed a $500 rate for a podcasting equipment come via in actual time. She jumped at the telephone to invite why I used to be purchasing stuff from that retailer. I merely stated, ‘We’re beginning a podcast.’”
122 episodes later, it’s been a perfect trip. Those pals have discovered so much and helped a large number of artists within the procedure. All they do is set empowering artists…. serving to them be informed the issues they weren’t taught in artwork college whilst giving them a possibility to community, develop, and be informed from a trade viewpoint.
Scott and Guy One rejoice, empower, and lift artists—even and particularly the ones whose paintings could be judged erroneously as “No longer Actual Artwork.”
