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 11 : To Refine and Color featuring Alli K
Are you feeling stuck in your creative process? Unsure of what move or decision to make next? Trust me, you're not alone. Decision making at this stage can be challenging, and that's why it's important to be in tune with ourselves creatively.
On this week's episode, I talk about my experience with indecision and how I have learn to tap in and trust myself. Joining me this week is artist, author and muralist, Alli K! She talks about her love for the problem solving of creativity and strategically solving creative problems for her personal work and her clients. Knowing that she cannot fail, Alli has learn to be confident in her pursuit to learn new things and a new medium.
This week's creative gems:
- To make confident decisions at this stage, we need to connect with ourselves creatively.
- Take things one decision at a time, allowing yourself the flexibility to change your mind or adjust.
- Trust your intuition and work from what feels good to you.
- Listen to your inner voice, as it guides you through the creative process.
- Within the parameters of what feels good to you, be open to where the work takes you.
- Let go of attachment to what you've already done or what you think is right.
- Be sure about what you want in this space.
Creative Prompt: Show me an unfinished piece you are working on, just as it is. A work in progress.
