Hello, and welcome to Dzetaland.
Today’s guest has been a friend for quite a while now. Jeff Moody, aka Jeff Noise, aka the man behind Stripwax fascinates me.
Jeff has straddled the working and creative worlds for decades. His day jobs have often been on the
technical side of Blue Collar, but at night and during his free times Jeff has indulged and developed his creative side.
Whether he was drawing a music review 4 panel comic strip, taking photos be they real or surreal, or creating and performing music, Jeff has not let the physical and mental rigors of Blue Collar life stop him from
creating and fulfilling his artistic side.
And as a man who has worked warehouses and factories I find this most remarkable.
This is a longer interview, around an hour. We discuss Jeff’s day jobs and his night’s creative history. In small part, his advice is to harness the technology you have to make the creations you want, realize the limits you face but use the options you have at hand, and, maybe above all, don’t get discouraged – you’re ultimately doing this to express yourself, so just keep doing that.
Now
here’s this week’s interview with artist, musician and former Blue Collar guy, Jeff Moody
