Miniature artist BLAKE GORE exemplifies the old adage: “less is more.” Favoring .15 millimeter nib Pigma Micron pens, Blake creates tiny masterpieces on 2-inch squares — and smaller. Originally from Mississippi but now claiming Virginia as home, Blake discovered his “tiny” expertise a few years ago through consistent repetition and infinite curiosity.
Serving as a career consultant by day, Blake explains how constraints can be a powerful tool to enhance creativity. As Blake shares: “There’s just so much to do in a square inch.” This episode is a teeny bit longer than most, but Blake shares a lot of sage advice for anyone contemplating a career change or shift in your art practice. Think of it as free career counseling.

The ARTish Plunge podcast is a labor-of-love, staff-of-one project. For less than the cost of swim googles, you can help me “keep swimming” and hopefully help someone else take their own ARTish Plunge.
