@theartofskinner
(WATCH THE FULL EPISODE OF THE ART OF SKINNER ON YOUTUBE THIS FRIDAY! LINK IN BIO)
With the sea of social media hype, the pressures of capitalism, and unprocessed trauma, it’s difficult to not only find your authentic voice, but also make a living doing so. Skinner is a visual artist, writer, filmmaker, installation and muralist, and all-around super monster artist.
With work featured on Adult Swim, murals and paintings in galleries across the world, and music videos for bands like Mastodon and High on Fire, Skinner is a full-time creative force of mayhem and madness - and is also a wildly funny, vulnerable, and thoughtful artist. In this conversation, get a deep dive into Skinner’s creative origin from drawing as a child in an OB-GYN office to features in Juxtapoz magazine to pitching HBO animated shows to building board games. Not only does Skinner share his rollercoaster trajectory of a career, but also talks about the need for mental health support, the power of human connection, and what it means to be yourself.
Origins explores the origin stories behind the creative minds that build the worlds and make the products you love. From tech to toys to animation to special effects to games.
