Why We Create,Szn 4 Ep 1: The creative nature of ergonomics, with Serafine Lilien
🚨New Episode Alert🚨
A special new episode for y’all from the official #wacom podcast, Why We Create.
In this episode we sat down (very cautiously I might add) with PDX based ergonomist, artist, and founder of ErgoArts, Serafine Lilien. Serafine’s career started out in the arts, and she now does work to help creatives (and folks of all kinds) stay happy, healthy, and free of any repetitive strain injuries.
We got into the weeds on proper posture and the Neutral Posture Principle, the list of ‘helpful’ ergonomic chairs, stools, desks, and more – and also learned about best practices and some practical stretches artists – and anyone that sits all day – can adopt to help prevent injuries in the future.
Conversation Topics include:
💖 Be kind to your body, we only get one.
🫸 Stretches throughout the day are important.
👯 The best thing you can incorporate into your day is movement – aka, get up outta that chair and stretch your body and legs
🧌 Do what you can to avoid having ‘Shrimp Back’

Why We Create, Szn3 Ep13: What If's with Barret Thomson of DeepSky
It’s lucky number 13 for the official #wacom podcast, Why We Create.
In this episode we sat down with PDX based Creative Director, Concept Artist and aspiring Improv actor, Barret Thomson of Deep Sky to dish on all things concept art, the influence of traveling, working with musicians and so much more.
Barret’s influence at Deep Sky can be seen across their amazing portfolio of work, including their in house project “It’s the Little Things” (which you can watch on YouTube (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z5ad0rdbJys)) and their stellar animation for the music video for the five-part animated series called 'In Ashes 'by the Smashing Pumpkins. Barret’s personal work is just as exciting as his professional work and leads you to imagine the most fantastic stories… you know, like how did Medusa’s head get on that shield… and what would happen to you if you forgot to remove your symbiotic lung?
Conversation Topics include:
⛵ Steering the creative ship via Concept Art
🤷♂️ “What if” helps keep the wheels turnings
🎭 Improv skills ARE helpful in real life
🪄 Animation is Magic
🐍 ⚔️ Perseus Killed Medusa (we googled)
