If there was such a thing as a rock star of the craft world, Mark Montano would be my vote. Mark started as a fashion designer, transitioned into television, and has landed firmly in the DIY world where he uses ALL the skills. He has authored several books including his Big Ass Book series. Each week there is a new how-to video on his YouTube channel "Make Your Mark". After a dinner with Mark and our fabulous conversation about the business of being creative and the creativity behind running a business, I knew I had to get him on the Creative Queso podcast.Find Out More About Mark MontanoWebsite http://www.markmontano.comInstagram https://www.instagram.com/themarkmontano/YouTube https://www.youtube.com/user/MakeYourMarkMontanoFacebook https://www.facebook.com/MarkMontanoNYC/HOST: Jennifer PerkinsWebsite http://creativequeso.comInstagram https://www.instagram.com/creativequeso/Newsletter http://eepurl.com/dfZYQ9Facebook https://www.facebook.com/creativequeso/PRODUCER: Myrriah Gossetthttps://www.myrriahgossett.comMUSIC: Chris Boehkhttps://chrisboehk.bandcamp.com See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

This week Vickie sat down and chatted with her friend and colleague, TV Host, Designer, Creative Director, and best-selling craft book author, Mark Montano. They talked about how his childhood experience with a Native American dance troop spawned his love for artisanal design; how important it is to stay focused on your own work, especially when presented with an onslaught of gorgeous, social media photos of other peoples’ work which can easily be intimidating; about how his career path evolved from fashion to craft; the challenges of working in public television; and how embracing new media has given him access to an audience in a way he's never had before.
