The Rough Concept Podcast
Welcome to The Rough Concept, a weekly podcast where I, Melarie Odelusi, take you on a personal and inspiring journey through my artistic process, from the seed of an idea to the final masterpiece. Get ready for an honest and intimate exploration of my creative world, as I share my thoughts, feelings, and experiences with you.
Each week, we'll dive into a different aspect of the creative process, uncovering the magic behind those moments of inspiration, the challenges we face along the way, and how it all contributes to our personal growth. I'll open up about my own struggles with self-doubt, creative blocks, and finding that elusive balance between work and life.
But that's not all! You'll also get to hear from some of my favorite creatives in the community—authors, illustrators, painters, and designers—who have crossed my path and enriched my journey. Together, we'll share our stories, insights, and inspirations to help you embrace your unique creative process and discover the powerful connection between creativity and self-discovery.

Ep 5: The Space to Creatively Thrive featuring COVL
I've got a lime wash obsession and I tell you all about it in this episode of The Rough Concept Podcast. Have you ever thought of how your space inspires your creative process? Well, COVL, a Puerto Rican multidisciplinary artist will give you the details on how she designed her studio to inspire her creations and how she uses her space to create an entire world of art and creativity. Listen in as COVL talks about how she uses color, lighting and the placement of her space to inspire her art.
This week's creative gems:
- Personalize your creative space: Curate your creative space in a way that reflects your unique personality and creative spirit.
- Surround yourself with objects, colors, and elements that inspire and motivate you to unleash your creativity.
- Create a therapeutic and liberating creative environment: Your creative space should be a sanctuary that evokes positive emotions and allows you to freely express yourself.
- Embrace new mediums and techniques: Don't be afraid to try new things and explore different creative directions. It can ignite inspiration and lead to exciting artistic discoveries.
Creative Prompt: When you walk into your creative space, how would you want it to feel? Consider the colors, the textures, and the objects that hold personal meaning. Is there anything you should remove or add to make you feel more connected to your creative self? How can you curate a space that truly reflects your artistic essence?
