Welcome to The Creative Nowhere Land Podcast.

On this episode, we're joined by East London-based artist, painter, and printmaker Carl Stimpson.

Growing up in a small town, Carls' influences weren't the classic art from the big galleries because, well, it just wasn't easily accessible. His major art influences came from the stuff around him, the comic books, the cartoons, the magazines, and the advertising, all of which have helped define Carl's distinct style of work.

Despite battling terrible shyness, Carl's creative talents were recognised by his father. Who encouraged him to pursue a more creative life and go and study fine art at university, which set the wheels in motion to a life dedicated to creating.

In this episode, we discuss Carl's creative journey from perfecting his craft as a painter and a colourist, to overcoming the hurdles of being painfully shy and instead of talking, using his art as a means of communicating ideas and emotions to people.

We also talk about Carl's multiple solo shows, including a pretty crazy one in Russia, selling a painting to Noel Gallagher from Oasis, and how social media is actually great for building your network as an introvert.

We also talk about how, in the purest way possible, as long as Carl can create, it doesn't matter what it takes.

It's all about creating!
