On our latest episode, we are joined by Joby Harris, a Visual Strategist at NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory (JPL) where he supports scientists and engineers with visuals, strategy and communication. Prior to working at NASA, Joby worked for many years as a designer and artist in the film, television, music, and theme park industries. Joby tells us how Star Wars and Night of the Living Dead sparked his interest in art, design and space. He shares his career advice for both art and engineering, which include being supported by healthy relationships, being generous with your time and talents, and learning to sketch to better communicate your ideas. We learn how artists, scientists and engineers at NASA collaborate with each other and get their message out to the public, how travel posters to exoplanets became a thing, and find out whether we'll have light sabers anytime soon. ;) You can check out Joby's amazing work below! http://www.jobyharris.com/ Please don't forget to share/rate/review/subscribe

Joby Harris interview: Travel Posters to Outer Space and More!

Joby Harris (Crash Rickshaw. NASA) left his home in Pennsylvania for Hollywood to follow a dream inspired by Death Stars, Wookies, Droids and the special effects that created them. But it was friendship and two miracles that aided him in his pursuits of music and design. He dubs my laugh a "Power Massage" and explains to me the importance of long hair as a symbolic entry point to the counter culture. We also talk about anxiety, his time at Disney Imagineering and the downsides of working with toxic dangerous chemicals.

Joby Harris has worked for the past 20 years as a designer &amp; artist in the film, television, music, print, theme park &amp; aerospace industries.  He now works for NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory as a Visual Strategist. All in all, he tends to operate more like a kitchen than a drive-thru.  He aims to create work that triggers peoples imaginations so what they imagine does most of the creating. His work has traveled to Comicon, the TED Conference, the Super Bowl &amp; to space. Full shownotes: http://yourcreativepush.com/jobyharris  In this episode, Joby discusses: -Some of his earliest creative moments, including his 21-book series, “What Ninjas Can Do.” -Being willing to wear many different creative hats along his journey and how that all added up to him being a well-rounded creative person. -The opportunity he created for himself to work with a local special effects artist. -The importance of teaching, mentorship, and surrounding yourself with likeminded creative peers. -The story of the exoplanet posters for JPL. -How he didn’t think that many people were going to see the exoplanet posters, yet he still pulled an all-nighter to create them with excellence. -How he responded to the posters going viral. -Giving your audience as much possibility to put themselves into your art as you can, so that they are able to tell their own story through your creativity. -How outer space and space exploration can help to bring people together, especially if the arts are involved. -How he realized that he is actually more creative in the morning, whereas he used to think he was a night owl. -The importance of being a voracious reader. Joby's Final Push will inspire you to leave people better off than before they met you!   Quotes: “You don’t have to really teach anything, you just get people around each other and they naturally elevate themselves.” “Whatever I do, I’m going to do it with excellence.” “These were real worlds that could exist and people imagined themselves there and they had the NASA meatball stamp on it.  So I think it was kind of lightning in a bottle.” “It’s the thing that you do, that you don’t think anyone’s going to see, and that’s going to be what launches you.” “I’m stoked that NASA and JPL are really investing in the arts as much as science, technology, engineering and math.” “Arts are a powerful weapon to inspire people and to get them looking away from each other, looking away from themselves, and getting them looking up to something that we can unite and work towards as humans.  Because this is all we’ve got, this planet.” “Like space, there’s a momentum that will naturally take you to the top.  And it’s quick, so you better be ready.” Links mentioned: JPL Invisible Creature Hooked: How to Build Habit-Forming Products by Nir Eyal and Ryan Hoover Star Talk Radio George Lucas: A Life by Brian Jay Jones Beautiful Dust Specks Connect with Joby: Website / Instagram On the next episode: Nikki Rae : Website / Twitter / Instagram Join the discussion in the Facebook group!
