We had the good fortune of connecting with Birdbrainsnyc and we’ve shared our conversation below.

Hi Birdbrainsnyc, is there something that you feel is most responsible for your success?
Create what you like and not what you think people want because art is subjective and different to everyone. If people like what you make, they will naturally gravitate to it.

Can you open up a bit about your work and career? We’re big fans and we’d love for our community to learn more about your work.
So Birdbrains is what I work on when I’m not at my job haha or sometimes I do if I have an idea that just can’t wait. I don’t have a particular style because it allows me to just put my spin on whatever I’m working on. I have been known for mashup designs and having an indepth story or reasoning for whatever is created. I’m also a fan of typography and color theory so if there is a chance to do so, count me in.

Let’s say your best friend was visiting the area and you wanted to show them the best time ever. Where would you take them? Give us a little itinerary – say it was a week long trip, where would you eat, drink, visit, hang out, etc.
NYC is literally a melting pot of anything and everything. You have LIC where you can see the Manhattan without actually being there. Go to Roosevelt Ave to get street tacos and catch a Mets game then head to Main st after for soup dumps. Want even more, head to Chinatown for more dumplings with bubble tea and then head to LES for the art scene. Don’t spend all your time at Times Square, crowded with tourists, really expensive, and smells like hobo piss unless that’s your thing, go for it.

The Shoutout series is all about recognizing that our success and where we are in life is at least somewhat thanks to the efforts, support, mentorship, love and encouragement of others. So is there someone that you want to dedicate your shoutout to?
Four score and seven yea……….sorry wrong speech. I do not have a particular person to shout out for my success as an artist but I do appreciate those who told me no, didn’t hire me, or said that this couldn’t make this a career. All that did was fuel the drive and dedication😉
