Episode 106 | Soulacybin and Artsy AF Return Sep 13, 2023

Where to find Soulacybin

Bandcamp: https://bandcamp.com/soulacybin

Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/artist/0FVJbKYvs5oxBreELfI0vK?si=YmQ3difiThGjEr3-CHCBUw

Soundcloud: https://soundcloud.com/soulacybin

Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/soulacybin/?hl=en It's been a long 21 months, folks. We're back, baybeeeee! Artsy AF returns with a low-production behemoth of an episode. (You guys ever heard of an iPhone 7S??) I couldn't think of a better guest than my best friend of 27 years, @soulacybin (John LaBoone) to help kick off version 3.0 with me! It was nice to get a little silly throughout this episode, while touching on some very sincere changes that we've both experienced in the last few years. Mental health, the Barbie movie and of course creativity were just a few of the topics we touch on in this one. John's new single 'Nuh Ready' is out on Spotify, Bandcamp and SoundCloud. Go check it out and catch him at AREA 15 in Las Vegas on September 30th. Thanks to everyone who nudged me back into this venture, it's a service that I'm happy to offer again. Expect about one episode per month to start with, hopefully ramping up as I integrate it back into the flow. Love y'all, enjoy. I've had a weird ride mentally and emotionally since the Marshall fire at the end of 2021 (my house burned down). For whatever reason, (probably cause my house burned down) that event left me with a darker outlook on life for a bit, correlating with me being more closed off, selfish and cynical than ever before. After a while living like that, you realize that it's not helping you or anyone else. So I had to make some big lifestyle changes; cutting out nearly all my vices, exercising, waking up earlier than ever, journaling and loosening the reins from the tyrant in my mind... all these changes took some time, didn't happen linearly and I had many setbacks and false starts. The result, though, is that a small bloom is appearing on the withered vines of Artsy AF. I'm hoping to sustain this into a blossom and eventually into a full blown edible flower for my fellow creators out there to enjoy on a weekly basis again.

Greetings, friends! Welcome to another episode of Artsy AF, thanks for being here!

In this episode of the podcast I connect with Uri Martinez (@uriginalbcn) and Irene Lopez Leon
( @irenelopezleon ) all the way from Spain! Irene and Uri are both painters living in Barcelona. We chat about several topics including whether paintings are helping the world, what it's like being a weird kid, the difference between an artist and a painter, where ideas come from and a few more topics. They have a duo show up at Ryan Joseph Gallery in Denver for the next month, which I highly suggest checking out if you're in the area. Note* Please be patient as Uri and Irene are not native English speakers so there are a few moments of 'dead air' as they gather their thoughts and translate to English.

This week features Jen Ingram! ( @ancientdigital // @tribe13gallery ) is a curator, festival art co-ordinator, art history student and co-founder of Tribe 13 Gallery with Roman Villagrana- an OG artist in the live painting and visionary art community. You can find Roman's work @synchromystic on instagram. We talk about the genesis of Tribe 13, some of Jen's most memorable festival moments, the importance of clear communication and what she looks for in applicants to participate in the gallery- among several other topics. We touch a small bit on NFTs- the important thing here is to check out hicetnunc.xyz and kalamint.io for platforms minting NFTs on the Tezos blockchain, which uses proof of stake to verify transactions. Proof of stake uses a fraction of the energy that proof of work does, more or less solving for the problem of NFT energy consumption.

This week I welcome back painting legend NFN Kalyan to the show. Last time we spoke, NFTs were a brand new thing- I was just learning about them, Kalyan was all in and the world was largely unaware of their existence. We wanted to record this episode as sort of a time capsule on how quickly things have changed since then and offer some new perspectives on the phenomenon. We also get in to information overload and how susceptible all humans are to propaganda, and some possible ways cryptocurrencies may facilitate more free and financially stable humans. This was a fun episode and I'm happy to have Kalyan back as the quickest return guest on the podcast!

Episode 67- POST WOOK (Natasha Chomko) on Routine, Setting Boundaries, and How She Got Her Name Mar 29, 2021

Natasha Chomko goes by the brilliant name POST WOOK (@postwook) and her art is just as amazing. She’s a digital collage artist who’s work is inspired by nature and color. We talk a lot about her routine; setting boundaries with how much and when to engage with social media while also being super consistent with posting on Instagram; coming up in the festival scene; why she chose the name POST WOOK; and her former life as a political operative. I'd like to thank everyone again who has been rating, reviewing, subscribing and giving Artsy AF some shouts out there in the digital world. It really helps get the word out and get people interested!

Also, last week's episode with Ally Grimm that we minted as an NFT is still available on OpenSea! The unique thing about this NFT is that it is the first podcast where an NFT is created on screen. Ally remixed the logo while we talked and the animated version is the main file in the NFT. The full audio/video episode is the unlockable content.

Episode 66- A.L. Grime and Artsy AF mint an NFT Mar 22, 2021

Welcome, my dear, creative friends: To the very first Artsy AF NFT episode and one of the first podcasts to be minted on the blockchain! In this episode Ally Grimm and I talk about artistic styles; free will; the clubhouse app; and some of the broader social implications emergent in the NFT space. Ally also shares her process and remixes the Artsy AF logo on-screen during our conversation. To see or purchase the NFT click HERE! Unlockable content includes the full podcast Zoom video and the .mp4 animation of the Artsy AF logo, remixed by Ally.

Very excited to have my first NFT be a collaboration via the podcast. This is the type of thing that I think is really cool about crypto art. Aside from the fact that artists are making some real money, there is less room for rent seeking middle-men, and the far out implications of things like DAOs (decentralized autonomous organizations) the meta narrative of minting our conversations about the time and space we live in is just super intriguing to me. Like a time capsule with actual human interaction contained within it!

Anyway, we've set the price very reasonably, so if you're in the mood to collect a novel piece of creation you can check it out. Otherwise, I think this episode stands on it's own regardless of whether it's an NFT or not. Big BIG shouts to Ally and to all of you for believing in this project. Much love and respect.

Episode 57- Supersillyus Dec 28, 2020

Rob Uslan is a multi-instrumentalist, producer and satirical t shirt maker. He makes and performs music under the moniker, Supersillyus (@supersillyus) and when this pandemic isn’t forcing us all to stay away from concerts, he sometimes performs with the Supersillyus Life Band using live instrumentation.

In this episode we get into the effects of the ol’ pandy quarantine on the music industry; Rob’s pivot to making a living off satirical t-shirts during the lock down, Brand reverence in psychedelic culture and all the spiritual bypassing that tends to come along with it, the idea of false scarcity and a few brutal facts about the music industry.

A big thank you to Rob for being a guest on Artsy AF! This conversation was a lot of fun and I think you’ll find it very interesting.

PLEASE do yourself a favor and check out the Supersillyus instagram page for some hilariously wearable memes and be on the look out for new tunes that will diverge from the classic Supersillyus sound on Bandcamp in the (hopefully) near future.

We’ve got big news. We’re being sponsored by Hollywood (yes, THE Hollywood) for this episode. They recognized our creative acumen and asked us to film an intro for this new sitcom about friends taking mushrooms together. We said 'Fine, Hollywood, we'll do it but,' we added with a drawn out pause 'under oooone condition.'

The faceless black shadow that called itself Hollywood let slip a questioning grumble 'Hrrhhn?'

'You've gotta sponsor our podcast episode, we need way more industry cred' The ancient shadow shrugged where it's shoulder's would've been if it were in any kind of discernible, human form as if to say OK.

Chelsea Lewinski ( @lewinskiart ) is a muralist, painter, digital artist and single mother based out of Denver, CO. Her realistic style of portraits using all spray cans is unique. She paints humans that she feels like don't have enough of the spotlight on them; from her personal friends to community members where she is creating a mural.

Most of our conversation centers around Chelsea's journey in to her art career which started less than two years ago. The distance she has covered in that short amount of time in terms of leveling up her skill and capitalizing on opportunities is pretty mind blowing. She talks about what it's like being a single mother and an artist and a lot more.

Episode 45- John's Leaving Artsy AF Jun 01, 2020

This episode of the podcast is a bittersweet send off for John. John is leaving the podcast and so we thought it’d be a good idea to have a celebratory gathering of friends and talk about it. Mr. Melty, Emily Kell, Randal and Morgan join us for the Occassion. We talk about being true to yourself, being honest and having open communication. I’ll miss you John! All the listeners and I thank you for getting Artsy AF off the ground. Keep shining brother, Love you!! I threw in a sad and silly country song at the end called "John Speaker", pretty sure it’s a biography of John’s life so I figured it was cool to use it as a proper outro song. I do not own the rights to the song. Episode was recorded on Wednesday 5/27 before the protests really popped off, if you’re wondering about their conspicuous absence. “John Speaker” by Doug Irving

We got into practical advice on how to weather the financial storm during Covid, how we're in really great shape (lol), Andrew's puppy and how to not get caught in incessant thinking.
