We’re excited to bring one of our dearest friends into this second episode! Justin has been a huge supporter of this series and is our music supervisor for all the great music you’ll hear in each episode! Having an infectious personality that is equally colorful to the many talents he has, our primary focus for his episode was to center it around the multiple projects he is consistently doing and how that shapes his life as an artist. While exploring various avenues of creativity he struggles most with keeping on top of multiple projects, but in the long run has found it to fit perfectly to his energetic personality. We hope Justin’s episode will help others realize there is an ebb and flow to the time that you put into your work, and with multiple projects it’s okay for them not to all be accomplished at once. Contact information and current projects of Citizen Ten are found below, thanks for watching!

Brent Benaway is a San Francisco artist who typically struggles with finishing projects and having the confidence to pursue his artwork publicly. Now with the opportunity to travel and interview artists from around the world, he gives us insight to his experience painting his first mural and how most artists can get lost inside their heads.

It’s only fitting that you get to know the man behind the project and really why this vision was so important for him to share with everyone else. As a self taught artist he experienced a lot of trial and error, lots of ups and downs, doubt, questionable experiments, and never-ending thoughts and visions about his work.

It’s always nerve racking being in front of the camera rather than behind it, we figured if we were going to roam the world asking artists to open up about themselves, we should do the same. For his theme we focused on his struggles with finishing his work, as well as painting his first mural here in San Francisco. The process presented itself to be more complex and challenging than he imagined yet helped him gain the confidence that he needed as an artist.
