In this episode of outside is Magic, I talk with illustrator and designer Brett Stenson about creativity, style, community, and the long, messy path of figuring out who you are as an artist.
Learning to Get Out of Your Own Way with Brett Stenson
We dive into everything from his early days in the Milwaukee BMX scene to discovering design through zines and catalogs, to eventually finding his way to Young Jerks, one of the most trusted studios in branding and illustration today. Brett shares how he builds rules for himself, how he breaks them, how he navigates identity through his work, and why surrounding yourself with the right people can change your life.
