Creative Curiosity

Taken from my brother Raniera Rewiri 'Plantbased Maori' Planting Seeds podcast. Be sure to follow him for some super insightful conversations with equally insightful guests. In this episode we delve into some of the habits we've adopted lately that have truely been life changing. What we've both come to realise about habits, or daily rituals, is they are actionable steps that don't require you to...

This segment of the podcast is dedicated to all things related to business, in the hopes that it can add value to your own creative journey. I'm still learning and have a really basic understanding of business, so the show is about me learning as much as you. I'm planning on this show being hugely guest oriented, which I'm excited about. Send me a message with questions I could ask my guests. Enjo...

I'm excited to announce 2 new shows on the podcast. The first is Know Your Numbers which is all about business. The idea around the show is about learning the ins and outs of business and what to consider when starting or running a business, from taxes to payroll and everything in between. After all, making a living from your creativity requires you to at least have some basic understanding of kno...

Charles is an artist predominantly known for graffiti work, however nowadays he's becoming more known for the bird murals he does with his wife Janine Williams. With over 2 decades of painting experience it's no surprise that he and his wife have painted multiple murals across the country and abroad. We touch on all things from not knowing who you are, to the importance of collaboration and creati...

It was a pleasure having James Rua on the podcast today. He's a super skilled creator when it comes to all things video. I say skilled because he went out and worked hard to get better, and I say skilled creator because there are many aspects when it comes to creating video and he has had experience in all of those areas.   We take a dive into his roots in the film and television industry here in...

Tawhanga is a Māori artist who hails from the paradise of Rotorua/Te Arawa. Although predominately known for his taa moko background, Tawhanga can do many other forms of Māori art, all of which he excels at. We delve into some of his early influences, how much the place of his birth and upbringing has shaped the man he is today and how mistakes from the past are great teachers for the present and...

Did you start out being a tagger? Or just wanted to be an artist from day 1?   What’s the ultimate goal in moko? And video production?   What motivates you to create?   Who are my top 5 influences as an artist?   In the years you performed in tauira mai tawhiti the kapa haka which year had the best bracket?   Is it better to have asked a person out and knowing the outcome or to never have asked at...

This was originally meant for an instagram video but I ended up going into more depth than I thought I was going to, so I decided to make it a podcast episode instead. I've been thinking about making a new logo for a little while now and I'm more than happy with how it has turned out. Enjoy the show.

I've always been a naturally lazy person, and my talent has carried me through most of my successes if not all. There have been small pockets of discipline sprinkled throughout my life but none worth writing home about. This episode talks about what I've learnt and where I am, and what it'll take to get to where I want to be. note: contains explicit language

If you're curious about how the tattoo process works, this is the episode for you. I've had many instances throughout my career as a tattoo/moko artist where people have come across rude or ignorant as to how they should approach me for work. I now realise that a lot of people aren't aware of the best method (for me anyway) to approach an artist for a tattoo and this episode of the podcast aims to...

I dive into a topic that has probably plagued every creative professional at one point or another. How do I move away from being just a family artist to being an artist that people buy from? There are many angles to decipher this but at it's core I believe it's about supporting and respecting the work that your creative family or friends do.

Todays questions: 1. When you were in school did you know exactly what you wanted to do? Career wise. 2. What sets your mahi apart from others? 3. How did you learn how to use Adobe? 4. How often do you tattoo? 5. Favourite home cooked meal?

Come and join me in this hour and a half convo with my first guest, Cy McLeod. Somebody who has become more than a friend to me over the years.   He's known for his ta moko and booming voice on the kapa haka stage, but people don't often get to know who he is away from all those things. This podcast hopefully helps to paint a bigger picture of the man behind the multiple disciplines.   Enjoy.

Today I answer the following questions. 1. What has life taught you thus far? 2. What industry would you love to see disrupted? 3. How do you dig yourself out of a hole/bad patch in life? 4. What is something you're randomly passionate about or interested in that people likely don't know that you are? 5. What is your hypothesis towards helping New Zealand's present mental health issues?   I hope y...

The first Q&A show of the Creative Curiosity podcast. I want this podcast to be as informative as possible, and I believe doing a Q&A show regularly can help to add as much value to you the listener. 

Join me as I interview creative people and delve into their minds to find out what has shaped their unique view of the world. This first episode is about me as a person and creative. I'm here to be open and to hopefully help you make a living off of being creative. I hope you enjoy. Nga mihi. Hau.
