018: Alex Wilby

Welcome to the Idle Hands Society Podcast - A community for creatives.

This week Dan and Paul are reunited to talk about art, music and Margate with artist and Cane Yo collaborator Alex Wilby. We talk about Alex’s feelings on commissioned work, Disneyfied disease illustrations, what music taught us, being inspired by graffiti, working with limited or no colour, drawing on an iPad, what Alex would be painting if nobody were watching, and Alex and Dan nerd out about synthesisers.

Reach out to us @idlehandssociety. Your hosts today are @dan_s_higginson, @paulbenceuk and @alexander_wilby on Instagram.
