PP 126: Ben Johnston on Murals 101 & Creating Good Work That Makes an Impact
Have you ever had one of those jaw-dropping moments mid-scroll on social media because someone’s work was so incredible and unique?
Those are the people to watch closely. They are the ones who are raising the bar and pushing everyone industry to up their game.
I originally picked my jaw up off the floor a few years back when our guest’s work showed up on my Instagram feed. I find myself constantly prepared to hold my jaw in place when he drops something new.
I’m talking about my homie Ben Johnston who’s a Goliath of painting murals and canvases or designing branding and installations.
His mind-bending experiments speak volumes as big brands like Nike, Google, Toronto Raptors, and Aston Martin have come knocking on his door for his one-of-a-kind services.
Today, Ben and I chop it up over:
Painting Murals 101: tips, process, materials, and pricing
Being confident vs. being a dick
Having fun while creating work that makes an impact
Attracting work by posting your work on all social platforms
Pizza, UFOs, graffiti, and more
If you’re looking to get started with murals or need a fire lit under your ass to push your work to the next level, then Ben has you covered in this episode.
