Alright – so today we’ve got the honor of introducing you to Caleb Woods . We think you’ll enjoy our conversation, we’ve shared it below.
Caleb, thanks for taking the time to share your stories with us today Did you always know you wanted to pursue a creative or artistic career? When did you first know?
As a kid my dad taught me how to draw and paint. Drawing was, of course, what I did the most of starting out. Once I realized that everyone would ask me to draw stuff for them and I deduced the insane profit margin from putting pencil to paper, I was sold. Although, my mom was really the hustler. As I got older my mom helped me cultivate different ways to turn my art into cash. Ever since I’ve been on a mission to build my skill and my business.
Awesome – so before we get into the rest of our questions, can you briefly introduce yourself to our readers.
Art and Music have been my whole life since I was a child. My dad being an artist, poet, and songwriter. And my mom being a singer-songwriter and entrepreneur. My main business is Urban Colour Collective, with that, we encompass almost everything art. Original and custom paintings, private events, catering and culinary arts, as well as fashion. We aim to connect professionals with their peers and consumers and work toward building a better marketplace for artists.
What can society do to ensure an environment that’s helpful to artists and creatives?
The best thing society can do is take art seriously. Repeatedly I’ve seen and heard people dismiss art degrees and studies as if they aren’t viable life decisions. In this day even more so, I’ve seen countless artists surviving off their craft without being famous or viral. I believe that will increase once people see the truth of the possibilities.
What’s the most rewarding aspect of being a creative in your experience?
The most rewarding part of creating is always impressing myself. The moment I step back from what I’ve done and take it in as a consumer and I’m generally impressed. The greatest moment. Cause that’s what gives me the confidence to take it out into the world.
