This episode I bring on a designer, illustrator and teacher with more than 30 years of creative work under his belt. Starting out with the likes of Wildstorm Comics, and Image Comics in their early years, to working on promotional and comic work for Masters of the Universe and other licensed characters, creating his on music and album, and even now being in partnership with Adobe and sharing his techniques, he’s attributed his success to being persistent, always evolving and paying respects to the people that’s supported him over his creative career. If you’re in the creative field and looking for some great insight to help you out, this is the episode.

This episode we share Kevin “Blax” Burroughs, the Artistic Associate Director with Oceanside Theatre Company.
2022 Craig Noel Award Winner for Outstanding Specialty Artist, Burroughs is a proud African-American singer, dancer, actor, director, choreographer, and lighting designer born and raised in San Diego. He’s been a performer, board member, and/or member of the creative team with companies that include Moonlight Stage Productions, New Village Arts, San Diego Repertory Theatre, Cygnet Theatre, OnStage Playhouse, CCAE Theatricals, SDMT, and La Jolla Playhouse, as well as youth theaters and educational institutions.

He worked as a performer and choreographer right out of high school, before adding lighting design to his repertoire later in his career. He’s proudly self-taught, having learned to become a lighting designer via YouTube videos, collaborating with other designers, and through on-the-job experience designing show after show. 

We had a great conversation talking creativity, theatre, inspirations, creative tips and more!

192. Creating Greatness

This episode is a quick story about a conversation with a homeless guy one day, doing some volunteer work at Humanity Showers here in Oceanside. I’m really intentional about looking topics or ideas for the show. I do believe that a person off the streets has just as much wisdom as a CEO.  What he said to me made so much sense and could apply across the board on anything that you’re working on achieving. Check this episode out and let me know what you think.

Also I’ve partnered up with art supply company Tombow USA on a Black History collaboration. I’m currently working on a few pieces for this event, where they will be highlighting all kinds of African-American creators, like me, and magnifying Black creators.
