My World - Dillon Froelich - Ep 11

https://Art2Life.com - It can take decades to create a unified but unique direction in our art. Many artists will stick to one medium for a long time to develop consistency in their work. But my guest for this episode took an entirely different path and his art beautifully reflects that. Rather than zeroing in on one thing, he went wide…REALLY wide. Dillon Froelich is a multidisciplinary artist based out of Sausalito, California with roots in the surf and skate culture of South Florida. The most amazing part of Dillon’s story for me is how early into his career he found himself as an artist…like, right out of college early! Dillon is creating an entire universe where his characters, colors, and ideas commingle in large paintings, animations, illustrations, sneakers, skateboard designs, and graphic novels. He not only makes art for himself, but Disney, Fox Animation, and Volcom, to name a few. Everything Dillon Froelich does is so uniquely him. Much of that can be attributed to his main criteria for art-making: it has to be fun. It seems so simple, right? But it’s often the missing ingredient for many artists trying to break through, myself included. What would it be like to take ourselves less seriously? To be more open to all the possibilities for our creativity?
