74. Paint and the path will come - Bilos (Greece/Bulgaria)

Bilos is a Greek illustrator and street artist who's been painting walls from just 12 years old. It's always been with him. Alongside high school and university, he persisted, eventually doing commissions on the side as he studied. His ethos seems to have always been to do good work that he loves himself, and the opportunities will follow.  Naturally, he's also been aware of how social media plays a role in the documentation of street art and the slippery slope between painting for yourself and painting for your audience.  Today we discuss his career to date and reminisce on the good old days of social media with niche spaces just for peers and less pressure to perform for likes and follows.  Bilos online:  https://www.instagram.com/_bilos_/  https://bilos.bigcartel.com/  https://neopreemo.com/search?query=BILOS&type=artwork  Podcast producer and sponsor links:  https://www.instagram.com/stephanieob/  https://twitter.com/stephanieob797  https://www.instagram.com/splatrsart/  https://www.totemo.art/  https://www.instagram.com/totemo.art/   Music by RomanBelov from Pixabay
