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.
