Creatives In Quarantine

Billy Bayne is a group creative director at GSD&M. By quarantine, he's a musician who's hellbent on honing his guitar playing skills. He turned his online guitar lessons into a live-streaming Instagram show with some of his favorite artists and bands. People like Ken Bethea of the Old 97s and Jonny Fritz. Not only that, but he's also used that platform to raise money for charities like Equal Justice Alliance. Check out Teach That Guy A Lesson on his Instagram at @Bayne16thState.

It started out as a birthday present. Then it turned into something way bigger. Meet Josh Weiss and Sunita Deshpande. Josh is an Art Director and all-around prolific creative and Sunita is a writer, actress and improv instructor. And now they're authors. Josh and Sunita spent quarantine creating a kid's book, "The Big, Little Book of Strange, Weird, Bizarrely 100% Real Animals (But Not Really)". We talk about collaboration in the time of Covid, what it's like to find a great creative partner and more. Check out the book at Joshdweiss.com.
