We caught up with the brilliant and insightful Christopher Morphis a few weeks ago and have shared our conversation below.

Christopher, thanks for taking the time to share your stories with us today How did you come up with the idea for your business?

I’ve always been an artist and love to do our work, but one day, my partner woke up from a dream and told me she saw me on stage dancing in and out of screens with my artwork on them, I didn’t know what this means, but then I saw one of my favorite artist Painting at his art show with a DJ present. Then I started going out to find musicians that I knew and asked them if I could set up to live paint at their shows as part of the show this turned into a full-time gig, following different music events around and performing their wall either selling my art in person or having someone sell it for me.

Christopher, before we move on to more of these sorts of questions, can you take some time to bring our readers up to speed on you and what you do?

I started live painting at any show I could find, but quickly realized the music that I loved most, reggae music, EDM, rock. Where the shows where I sold the most art, and got along with the fans, the most so I went from finding small shows and clubs of this nature to big music, festivals, and buying Vending booths to sell my art at. I’m always for helping up-and-coming artists, and helping others figure out ways to find what they love to do most, and potentially make a living at it.

Can you share a story from your journey that illustrates your resilience?

When I first started going to festivals, I got in through being Live Painter, and they would give us a spot in a collective gallery, sometimes amongst a bunch other artist crammed into a single tent. I found that the sales were hit, or miss from this scenario, but I found if I went out and sold my artwork myself in the campgrounds in amongst the attendees. I had better luck with sales. So I started doing this more and more until I just did my own ventures into events selling as I pleased in painting where I could find space. Overtime this turned into me just buying a vending booth and paying people to help me

Let’s talk about resilience next – do you have a story you can share with us?

Resilience is key, I find that to really make it in the entertainment industry. You can’t really expect people to do things for you or just give you things for free. You really have to go make your own money and earn it yourself and provide value to those around you to make it long-term.
