Sliding Into the DMs with Patrick Hunter
Description
This week on GRAFIK CONTENT, I chat with artist and graphic designer Patrick Hunter. We discuss his early days as a line cook and how that time in his life led to him launching his national platform as a 2-Spirit, Ojibwe painter, how the Chicago Blackhawks slid into his DMs, and why being optimistic as a solopreneur can open so many doors. We also chat about the meaning of creative confidence, licensing your artwork, and why a YouTube cooking show might be in the works.
