This week\u2019s episode features Ukrainian-born, now New Jersey-based, artist Olga Muzician. About halfway through this interview I realized - we have two very different work styles. Olga has the drive and need for perfection in everything she does. Everything is organized, clean, and as efficient as possible. There is no room for spontaneity or winging it in her work life.
\nThis interview is a great look at the opposite side of a previous solo episode I did where I confessed that I paint up to the value of my customer\u2019s budget. If the customer is happy, I\u2019m happy.
\nWith Olga, if she\u2019s not making her next masterpiece, then she\u2019s not happy. There\u2019s no good enough attitude happening here. Which explains why her project minimum is $3,500. Olga charges her worth and explains what\u2019s included in her process to create a masterpiece every single time.
\nShe also put into words the mental creative process that happens inside my head when trying to think up the next big idea (mockup) for a customer. That brain roller coaster that goes on throughout a couple of days or weeks of extracting that one-of-a-kind idea out of my usually stagnant creative brain for my new hopeful customer. I\u2019ll let her do the explaining, so let me know what you think of this week\u2019s episode with Olga Muzician.
