Paloma Rincon & Catherine Pearson on Building an International Creative Career From Scratch
Photographer and visual artist Paloma Rincon and illustrator Catherine Pearson have built international creative careers from two very different corners of Europe. In this episode, recorded live at a creative festival in Barcelona, they open up about burnout cycles, the fear of never being "ready," and client briefs that ask you to be a human and a machine at the same time. They trace their own breakthrough moments - a viral photo series, a stamp for the Swiss Post, a solo art residency in Japan - and land on a candid, unresolved conversation about what AI means for the future of creative work. It's a conversation about staying attached to your own voice while everything around you moves faster than you do. Join the Adobe Live Discord: https://discord.com/invite/p48UBK3nX2 Paloma Rincon is a Spain-based visual artist working primarily in lens-based media, photography, moving image, and sculptural installation, to explore perception and the physical world. Her viral photo series "Heatwave" helped launch her international career, leading to features in publications like the British Journal of Photography and major commercial work, including the launch campaign for Michelob Ultra Seltzers. https://www.instagram.com/paloma_rincon_/ Catherine Pearson is a Switzerland-based illustrator known for maximalist, texture-rich illustrations that bring brand stories to life. A freelancer working from her home studio, she's created work for institutions including Swiss Post, designing their first Lunar New Year stamp, and is currently planning a return to mixed-media painting.

Tristan & Marius (Tactyc Studio) on 3D, Gen AI, and Staying Irreplaceable as a Creative
Meet the two-person studio quietly building 3D work for some of the biggest brands in the game — without an office, and without seeing each other more than a few times a year. Tristan and Marius, co-founders of Tactyc Studio, sit down to talk origin stories, the reality of gen AI on client projects, and why the tools matter a lot less than the eye you train to use them. Marius is a co-founder of Tactyc Studio and a 3D generalist whose path into the industry started almost by accident — a cracked After Effects install found through a torrented game as a teenager led him through TV motion design, Cinema 4D, and eventually Houdini. Tristan is the other co-founder of Tactyc Studio. He studied communication design with dreams of becoming a character animator, trained in traditional animation techniques abroad, and pivoted into technical 3D and motion design before reuniting with Marius years later to build the studio.

David Milan on How to Keep Growing as an Artist
In this episode of Adobe Live: Studio Sessions, Mexican designer David Milan sits down with Emily Bissett to talk about a creative life built on curiosity. David explains why getting bored quickly is his secret weapon, how it pushed him from graffiti and lettering into 3D, collage and mixed media, and why he treats AI as a tool rather than a threat. Along the way they get into the rising value of imperfection and human made work, the freedom of following your instinct, and why real faces and eye contact matter more than ever in a world of perfectly cropped feeds. An honest, colourful conversation about staying playful, staying human, and never assuming you are done learning. David Milan is a Mexican multidisciplinary designer and illustrator known for his bold colour, playful geometric shapes and constant experimentation. https://www.instagram.com/mdemilan Emily Bissett is a Creative 3D Evangelist at Adobe: https://www.instagram.com/3bisset (00:00:00) Intro & Quick-Fire Questions(00:06:00) Working Between Mexico and Spain(00:08:01) Origin Story: Design and Graffiti(00:09:57) Learning 3D in Cinema 4D(00:13:46) Approaching AI with Adobe Firefly(00:15:28) Pivotal Moments and Following Instinct(00:18:40) Community and Meeting Artists IRL(00:22:25) Evolving Style and Creative Boredom(00:24:23) Perfectionism and Embracing Imperfection(00:28:41) Creative Process: Inspiration and References(00:31:37) Music, Colour and Final Touches(00:36:07) Fast Tools, Burnout and Balance(00:42:34) Predicting the Next 5–10 Years(00:44:24) Marketing and Sharing Your Process(00:46:23) 3D Techniques and Hand Sculpting(00:50:00) Lowering Barriers and Closing Thoughts

Benjamin Simon and Dirk Schuster have been friends for over twenty years and business partners since 2013, when they co-founded FOREAL, the Trier, Germany-based studio now known for its bold, hand-crafted visual style. In this episode, they open up about what it actually takes to run a studio with a childhood friend without losing either the friendship or the business, why they've held a strict 8-to-5 policy since day one, and how a shelved Doctor Pepper campaign accidentally became one of the internet's most-believed fake energy drink ads. They also get honest about where AI fits into their process as a tool and why handmade, visibly human work is still most valuable.Benjamin Simon and Dirk Schuster are Co-Founders and Creative Directors of FOREAL, an animation and motion design studio based in Trier, Germany. Benjamin brings a technical, CGI-rooted background while Dirk comes from classical illustration, and together they've shaped FOREAL's mix of illustration-driven storytelling and bold, sometimes cheeky visual style.https://www.instagram.com/weareforeal/?hl=en Robert Hranitzky is Adobe's Senior Professional Video Evangelist.https://www.instagram.com/hranimator/?hl=en(00:00:00) Introduction (00:01:16) Rapid Fire Questions (00:05:41) Founding For Real Studio (00:08:16) Business Partnership and Studio Culture (00:14:24) Tools and the Sketch-First Workflow (00:16:05) Humility and Hiring for Fit (00:21:33) From Illustration to Animation (00:24:47) The Value of Human Touch and Implementing AI in Workflows (00:34:42) Creative Intent Over Automation (00:40:28) Growing an Audience on Instagram (00:44:22) Creative Freedom and Being Bold (00:47:50) The Viral Monster Energy Video (00:50:53) Passion Projects and Team Motivation (00:52:09) Work-Life Balance: The 9-to-5 Rule (00:55:57) Fatherhood, Identity, and Sustainability (00:59:00) Closing Thoughts and Thanks
