Steven talks to street artist and designer, Marcus Method, known for applying the design theories and drawing philosophies he learnt in architecture and combined it with the graffiti work he was producing at the time.
Marcus talks about the street art space in general, how he found his own personal style, the ways in which social media can affect the ways that artists create, and why it's okay to make money in art.
KEY TAKEAWAYS
Architecture contains a simplicity of design that must be instantly communicable to anyone viewing it. Marcus has adopted this approach to his own style and work.
Social media is a gift in some respects, and is a useful and necessary tool. But there is a danger of allowing social media to influence the way you create and the output you produce.
Creating for our own satisfaction is one thing, but if we truly wish to make a career out of art, we have to embrace the monetary side of things.
Creativity can sometimes be stalled if we find ourselves too satisfied. Being happy is about enjoying the journey to the next point in our creative lives.
BEST MOMENTS

ABOUT THE HOST
The Steven Sulley Study is my take on success. My view is you should have multiple focuses to be a well-rounded individual. Success shouldn't be just one thing like money, for example, it should also consist of a healthy fit lifestyle and thriving relationships
As a person who has made a success in life and also made huge cock-ups I feel I can offer suggestions and tips on how to become successful or at least start your pursuit. My 'Study' has taken resources from reading and education plus being around, my perception, of successful people and I, know a lot of successful people from all walks of life.
My 'Study' coming from my experiences in business, investing, sales (my core background), training, boxing and education has enabled me to become well rounded and successful and I will help you in these key areas too.
