It’s episode 216 with Matt Ottley, writer, artist, musician and all round polymath, talking about the incredible book, film and music for his project The Tree of Ecstasy and Unbearable Sadness. Matt is a fascinating guest and we talk about how his previous mental health issues, art, Synaethesia and music feed into his work, why he believes ‘good enough’ is rarely good enough and we’ll find out about the Books That Saved His Life.

Matt is a multi-modal artist working across the fields of visual arts, music and literature. He is an award-winning picture book writer and illustrator, with 25 picture books published and one of Australia’s most popular children’s authors. His book and musical work for young adults, Requiem for a Beast was awarded the Children's Book Council of Australia's Picture Book of the Year in 2008, and the Queensland Premier's Award for Young Adult Literature in the same year. His latest multi-modal project is The Tree of Ecstasy and Unbearable Sadness and that will be out on May 16th.
