Every artist has a weird habit or two — sometimes that’s exactly where the magic starts. — Brandi

This week on Colour Me Happy Podcast The Strange, The Creative, The Brilliant: You’re getting two incredible artists for the price of one! We sat down with Rene Romero Schuler and Taylor Smith, two creatives with wildly different processes but surprisingly overlapping gallery journeys. From the emotional and intentional to the messy and mischievous, we dive into the strange rituals and unexpected habits that fuel their most meaningful work — including Taylor’s hilarious confession about “borrowing” posters from city streets for her art. This episode is a celebration of the quirks, the chaos, the laughs and the pure creative spark that makes artists who they are. Your weird creative habit is in very good company here!

Takeaway Tips:

1. Embrace Your Creative WeirdnessYour quirks aren’t flaws — they’re often the doorway to your most unique ideas and breakthroughs.

2. Different Paths, Same DestinationThere’s no “right” creative process. Whether structured or spontaneous, what matters is showing up and making space for expression.
