Today, I’m joined by Chris Watts, aka The Creationist. Chris is a San Francisco-based visual artist and recipient for The SF Guaranteed Income Pilot for Artists, a stipend program powered by Yerba Buena Center for the Arts that makes no-strings-attached cash payments to artists who have been disproportionately impacted by the pandemic. Chris and I discuss how participating in the program has made a difference in his life and his ability to practice his art. We also touch on the nature of his recent work and how he conveys a sense of peace through his unique hieroglyphs. Topics Covered: ● Why Chris goes by the name ‘The Creationist’ ● How Chris found out about The SF Guaranteed Income Pilot for Artists and went about the application process ● The future of the program, including international iterations ● How having a steady income has helped Chris realize his broader artistic vision ● Background on how Chris created his own hieroglyphic alphabet Guest Info: ● Chris's Website ● Chris's Instagram Special Offers: ● Check out https://newsly.me and use the promo code ARTHEALS for a free one-month premium subscription.
