Welcome to We’re Gonna Make It, a podcast about art, artists, and the fierce creative rivalry between a newly engaged couple. In our inaugural episode, we try to simplify all the artistic monuments of the world into two simple categories: things you can look at, and things you can hear.

While we may have failed in our gross attempts at categorization, we did get a few interesting conversations out of it.

Jennifer Cook is a visual artist and designer from Victoria, BC. She works at the Art Gallery of Greater Victoria and keeps a sporadically updated selection of her work at yourstrulydesign.wordpress.com

Colin Liseth is better known as OLAV. A DJ and electronic music producer, OLAV can also be seen in Victoria on a monthly basis playing at Lucky Bar. His music can also be found online at olav.bandcamp.com

One of the reasons we pulled a designer and a musician onto our first episode was to have them do our dirty work for us. We needed a logo and a theme song to accompany this show, so Jenn and Colin each competed against the hosts for the honour of having their work represent We’re Gonna’ Make It.

The contestant pieces are all below after the break, but to find out which ones won the contest, you’re just going to have to listen to the show!
