In this episode we talk to celebrated New Zealand artist Dick Frizzell. As well as being one of New Zealand’s most famous painters, you will hopefully be interested to learn that Dick is also an ex-adman. Unfortunately he failed at that so had to look for an alternative career. We talk about his experiences in the advertising world and how what he learnt there helped set him up for a career in art. We also have interesting (hopefully) sections on cultural appropriation, exploiting child labour to make ads, and how to sell sausages made from fruit. I also lecture Dick on punctuation, I’m sure he enjoyed that, and Dick answers questions sent in by podcast listeners. So listen in to discover the back story behind his most famous works. Please stay listening at the end as there is a bonus section recorded after I’d pretended to turn the mic off.
