Episode 199 - Timba Smits - Graphic Artist - Illustrator - Curator - London EN.

Today's guest is Timba Smits. He is a Graphic Artist, Illustrator, and Curator out of London England. Full disclosure, this is a quickie-ish. One hour...so buckle up cause it's a damn good ride. Timba and I get into the stories...this episode is like a blockbuster movie. We should be charging for this gem, but we won't. 

During this episode we talk about:

-how he wanted to be a fine artist and opened up his own gallery - the Timba Gallery. 

-the magazine he started with a friend that grew and carried on for over 6 years. 

-the contest that he won that allowed him to get a taste of London. 

-what moving to London soon after did for his career and what travel can do for yours. 

-the canvas competition he won on "borrowed" canvas that flicked the design switch for him. 

-how the first 10 years of his career went amazing and grew and came to a sudden stop one life-changing night. 

-the years of struggle and self doubt that he needed to battle through. 

-the art event that was highly successful that started out as a way to distract him and a friend from a tough time in their lives. 

-the magazine he was a part of while still struggling with a bit of doubt that ended up being just the thing he needed. 

-the turnaround moment that got him back on track and out of the funk. 

Timba is a great guy and we could have kept talking for hours. Maybe we did? Would you know? This interview is packed with incredible stories and lessons. Enjoy. @timbasmits
