Chris Wahl is one of those people who are so talented you actually hate them a little bit. I was following his blog before I ever found him on RedBubble, and I could pretend he’d be some pretentious bastard.. unfortunately for me, it turns out he’s actually a really nice and approachable guy, and not at all hate-able. Damn.
How does being a creative person and pursuing your creativity affect other aspects of your life?
I think having a creative mindset definitely enriches my life. I can’t imagine how mundane and limiting life’s experience would be with not being able to think ‘outside the box’. My mind is always ticking over with new and creative ways to approach everyday life and I think most of the time this has a positive effect on friends and family.
Art is definitely the main outlet for my creativity, but I like to think creativity plays a part in everything I do.
Tell us about one person or moment that has made your time on redbubble particularly special or meaningful
Definitely, RedBubble’s customer relations. I think that’s what makes this community so great. There’s always someone to listen to problems, feedback and criticism and willing to do something to make this site a better experience for everyone. Unlike other merchandise sites whose human presence is non existent.
Hopefully this ‘corner store’ personal service is something RB can maintain even as they inevitably grow bigger.

Thanks Damien for the interview.
I’ve got to stop using so many adjectives in my interview answers, or that ‘pretentious’ tag might stick.
...make that adjectives and inverted commas. :D
