296. Discovering Your Own Edgy/Fun Style & Starting a Pop-Up Gallery with Dean Christensen

This week’s interview features New York artist Dean Christensen. Right out of school, Dean created a series of paintings then turned around and sold those paintings at an art show. He used that money to buy a one-way bus ticket to New York where he stayed on a friend’s couch for 2 months until he was able to get on his feet financially and kickstart his art career. This interview aims to inspire you to take a risk towards doing the unique thing only you want to do and dig deep to create a style that’s all your own. We chat about the current projects we are working on and how they align with our strange/edgy/fun style. Dean’s journey is very relatable, especially because it’s still fresh. He’s still in the beginning parts of his journey in some ways, but doesn’t let doubt or fear paralyze him into not taking action onto the next thing. He recently started an art gallery with a business partner and talks about the challenges behind that along with the unexpected success of it all so far. This is a wide ranging conversation that spans across painting, NFTs, pop-up galleries, and diving into projects headfirst. Let me know what you think of this week’s episode with Dean Christensen.
