Adrian Owen is a fine artist and illustrator whose body of work speaks for itself. We had a very interesting conversation with him about marketing yourself and he provided some insight into his experience as a freelance creative. We explore the creative inclinations that arguably exist in everyone - wether it be inherit or something that’s developed through practise. We also discuss the value of art from the perspective of the creator and the viewer, and how emotional turmoil can impact - and often fuel - the creation and perception of visual art.
