Ep 16 - David Faulkner // Mr CrystalFace

Today’s chat is with an incredible soul & pen artist extraordinar - David Faulkner who you may know as Mr. Crystalface. I stumbled across his work on instagram almost 10 years ago now, when I was 15-16 just as I was delving into pen art and was MIND-BLOWN! His work has been a huge inspiration in my own pen art journey especially in what’s actually possible to create and achieve with pen!


Using a blend now of digital & pen, David’s Art opens the doorway to another realm for us all to step into. We get to experience a whole new land of creatures, curiosities, friendly trees & stories.

In today’s conversation we chat about how art became his now full time job and also a valuable tool to traverse through the tricky terrain of insomnia whilst growing up. We also have story time as David read's the first part of a story he is writing for an upcoming picture book!


I loved the timing of recording the podcast too as we got record just before both heading to Dragon Dreaming to have our art in the festival art gallery there. That in itself was such an amazing experience- to get to see David’s work in real life & get to witness the joy and pure excitement people got from standing in front of his huge pieces & losing themselves in the worlds he has created.


I hope that this conversation adds an extra bit of sparkle to your day!
