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.
