- Hey, everyone, welcome to a new episode of The Lowdown.
Today, I'm gonna be chatting
with a very special guest, Gawx.
Hello, it's so nice to meet you.
- Hello, Jenna, nice to meet you too.
- How's it going?
- It's great.
Thank you for having me here.
- This is your first time in Los Angeles, correct?
- Yeah, first time in LA, first time in California.
- What are you doing here?
Something special, I hear.
- [Gawx] We were shooting some content
for the new Sony XM5s,
and we have been doing that the past few days,
and it's been great.
- [Crew Member] And action.
Take those off.
- You have a very unique style of art.
How would you describe the Gawx look?
- The Gawx look.
In my head,
I draw basically two things.
Characters, like that one, and doodles.
Doodles are basically
just a lot of different things, combined in one drawing.
And I think my style, I would describe it as cartoony
and also playful with a lot of vibrant colors.
When you see one of my drawings,
you can tell that it's a Gawx drawing.
I draw a lot of big heads with big hands and big shoes.
I like that look.
And also I draw accents on the eyes.
That's my style.
- [Crew Member 2] Cool, we got it, we can cut it.
- Normally when you think of art,
it's something that you look at,
but you've created things that people actually use
and interact with on a day-to-day basis.
How cool is that?
What's that like?
- That's awesome.
My art is now on t-shirts, my art is on videos.
I really like when people look at my artwork
and they get inspired to create their own stuff.
Maybe you can draw the face of it.
- I don't think you want that to happen.
I'm telling you I will ruin it.
- We can try.
- Maybe I can make a circle for the eyes.
Oh my gosh.
I'm shaking.
- Don't be nervous. - Here we go.
So I learned that not only are you an artist
when it comes to physical art,
but you're also creating content,
you are creating all of your own content for social media.
How is that?
Doing both of those things that has to be exhausting?
- Yeah, it's kind of exhausting
but it's also opened me a lot of doors in new industries
and I have discovered things that I will maybe
pursue in the future.
For example, be filmmaking and videography.
It has become a big passion.
- What gear are you using?
What camera are you using?
- Of course I'm using Sony.
- Yes!
- To shoot my videos,
I use Sony FX3.
Before the Sony FX3, I used to use the Sony A7 III,
but I use my Sony FX3 and I love it.
It's the best camera.
- It really is the best.
Speaking of Sony gear,
I also hear that you are a huge Sony headphones user.
What are your thoughts on the new M5s?
- Oh, I love them.
I use them while I paint and they are absolutely amazing
with the noise canceling.
It's great.
You can get really immersed in your artwork.
If I'm listening to something playful and colorful,
in a sense, I get inspiration to paint.
- If you had any advice to give to a younger person
who's looking to become an artist
or to get into become a creator,
what advice would you give them?
- Just do it because you enjoy it,
work hard in your dreams and get focused.
And if someone tells you that you can't do it,
just ignore them,
because if it's your passion,
it's really important to follow it and do it.
- Well, this is what I made for you.
I hope you like it.
- Oh, I love it.
I also tried to do something
it's not great, but I think-
- I love it, it's so good.
- Thank you.
- Well, thank you so much for being here.
It was so nice chatting with you.
Make sure you guys follow Gawx on all of his social media
as well as subscribe to Sony's YouTube channel
because we will be back
for some new episodes of The Lowdown.
