Inspiration in Action with Will Truran

This week we are back with one of my favorite monthly series, Inspiration in Action. This series allows creatives to take us through their career so far and show us who has inspired them and how their work changed because of these artists, designers, illustrators, authors, and experiences.

I am excited to finally have my good friend and constant experimenter on the show, Will Truran. I met Will about ten years ago. We both love Jesus and he is a maker. He likes to get his hands dirty and makes digital things, physical things.

Will finds unwanted and cast aside things and gives them a different spin. He is a recycler, he is a story-teller, he is an endless encourager.

Will is a design professor who is always experimenting and creating art. He is awesome and a long time part of the Creatives Ignite community. I hope you will join us this week as he shares the parts of his creative journey and where he has drawn inspiration.

I hope you will join me LIVE for Episode 477 on Wednesday, Aug 21, 2024 at 7:30pm BST / 2:30pm ET / 11:30am PT / 8:30am in Hawaii. Signup here to get the link delivered to your inbox. https://creativesignite.com/signup

Questions

Will, can you give everybody a little background about your art & design and what you do?
How has your work changed and evolved in the last ten the years?
Can you see a direct correlation to what you make from who inspires you? In terms of materials or how you are creating your pieces? How has your style evolved?
How does your process change depending on the medium or subject matter?
What have you made and what inspired those things, can you show us a link between a person / event / thing that started the spark?
I am excited for you to talk about your process of getting ideas and executing on them in ways that are new to you. Do you regularly try out new technologies or new materials?
If you could tell someone how much their life or work has inspired you (dead or alive) who would that be and what would you tell them or ask them about?
