Roles on a filmset

I'm with Tawhanga again and we catch up on the last 2 years of personal and professional life. We cover everything from taxes, to creative influences, to Tawhanga receiving his mataora(male facial moko), bone carving, and more. I hope you enjoy the episode.Be sure to follow him on Instagram: @rauruartsI'll see you in the next one.Hau

Two key lessons I've learnt that have helped make my work better, more fulfilling, and my own.I talk about the accumulation phase as an artist and the phase where you strip back and start focusing on what you deem important.What's also exciting is there's always another accumulation phase because you're always ignorant at something. It's my job as an artist to follow my curiosity and find what I seek.Please consider subscribing if this resonated with you.Hau.

Note: This episode was recorded 2 years ago on January 27th 2023, not 3 years ago like I say in the podcast.I consider Tawhanga one of our very best artists specialising in Māori art including moko, carving of many forms, painting, digital, clothing, and many more. He's unique and stands out from the ever growing crowd of Māori artists.Be sure to follow him on Instagram: @rauruartsI hope you enjoy this conversation with him as much as I did.Hau.

Some of the milestones I've encountered along my almost 19 year tattoo career. The most important lesson I've learned so far is coming up with a clear process to share with my clients. This helps bring clarity to both of us. It's about knowing what to say no too and what to say yes too. More details in the episode.

The podcast is back and I've got a more broad idea of what I want to do with it. There's no pressure on it to say anything in particular. I want to trust my curiosity and talk about stuff I think is cool and interesting in my creative mind. Sometimes I'll talk to others, most times I'll probably be by myself. This is a place I'll share my most detailed and unedited thoughts on stuff I find interesting.

I finally jumped into the NFT space a few weeks ago. This episode is about the week leading up to the first auction I sold with the help of 2 bros. Be sure to follow the project 'Graffiti Grems' and join the discord on our website www.graffgrems.com chur whanau.

I had my first experience on a film set over the summer and from my time there and watching videos on YouTube, these are some of the roles involved in the film making process.

Over summer I was finally a part of my first feature film experience. I've been wanting to get into film making for at least the last 4 years and it finally happened. Super grateful for the opportunity and I now look forward to making my own films. Lessgo!
