Here at Chulo we wanted to showcase the creatives with a Q&A to dive a little deeper into the Artists inner workings - today we spotlight newest member, Killing Time.

Tell us a bit about what keeps your creative juices flowing, do you search for inspiration or does it come naturally?

I find it hard not to be inspired. Everywhere you look you can find great design. Even shit design inspires me to do better. 

What's been your favourite project to date and why?

Glen Huntly wayfinding mural. Simply because the client trusted me with my vision and let the type do the talking. 

Tell us a bit about your process, do you start off searching for reference and sketching?

I don't do anything without a series of thumbnail sketches. I find if it works in miniature, it translates to large scale. 

On a big, creative project, I look up at least 5 artists I know that have nailed something similar. Then I just take some time to appreciate how and why. 

What made you want to pursue a career in the arts and do you have any tips for up and coming artists looking to do the same.

I always loved design and signwriting but I never wanted to hustle on behalf of someone else. When I got into hand-painting, I knew this was going to be my career and I had to do it my way. 

Confidence and footwork. Come prepared, have a plan and don't be afraid to learn on the job.
