Studio Confidential is a series of low-fi, off-the-cuff conversations I have had with artists about how they do it.
 
Anthony Bourdain's Kitchen Confidential is the inspiration for this work and it is a no jingle, no frills, not much editing - lots of ums - insight into what it takes to pull it together and sustain a creative practice career.
 
Expect swearing and a lot of interrupting.
It is made possible by my patrons on Patreon! If you love one of the episodes, and feel the urge to support a future one, you can do so by following this link: //www.patreon.com/moniquepelserstudio
