    Episode 56: How Popular 90s Cartoons Inspired Graphic Designer Carly Berry of Tallahassee
    Jul 7 2023
    It's okay to be weird. It's totally cool ... seriously though! Think of all the strange cartoons from back in the day. "Ren & Stimpy" was WEIRD. "Spongebob Squarepants" was WEIRD. "Rugrats," "CatDog," and "The Angry Beavers" were all super WEIRD. And, let's face it, the creators of those incredibly iconic and innovative shows must have been pretty odd, but we love them for that. Today's guest has been a fan of all those cartoons since she was a kid, and those weirdo (genius) creators have since inspired her to pursue her artistry. Carly Berry is a talented artist, graphic designer, and entrepreneur. She's the Founder of it's not that weird, an online store featuring her graphic designs on shirts, tote bags, stickers, and magnets. Carly tells Gerard about her favorite 90s cartoons and how they've influenced her illustrations and personality. Plus, she explains how she made "one second every day" videos for 6 years!
