Show notes

Jessica Perlstein (@jessicaperlstein // https://www.jessicaperlsteinart.com) is a painter living in San Francisco. In this episode she details her story; from growing up with creative parents who were always pushing her towards being an artist, to her eventual break from painting altogether, only to re-emerge with a completely new style. We cover a lot of important information along the way relating to business and routine as well, and I think you're in for a treat!

Show notes

This week's guest is Micah Ofstedahl! < @micahofstedahl // michaofstedahl.com >

In this episode we go in depth into Micah's work; his influences in the unknown and scientific realms, his attention to detail and his overall take on consciousness. Please do go to Ryan Joseph Gallery this Saturday the 14th for Micah's solo show. I can personally attest that seeing his work in person is super critical to appreciating it after being given a sneak peek on Saturday. Micah also gives his backstory and talks about how he navigates the art world in terms of getting his work out there.

Show notes

Miles McDonald ( @theartofwire // theartofwire.com ) is a wire wrap jeweler based in Boulder, CO. In this episode of the podcast Miles goes in depth on his back story; from manifesting a meeting with a creative legend to a synchronistic experience that led him to go all in on his craft. We also go off script and talk about guns for a bit (I know this is supposed to be an art podcast) but bring it back nicely into the realm of teaching and technique, how art has changed him and some great advice for younger artists.

Big Shouts to the newest patrons this week, Andrew Davis and Josh Uchtman! Andrew, of course, is an incredible painter and a former guest on the podcast. Be sure to listen to his episode if you haven't already and check him out at @andrewdavisart. Josh is a glass connoisseur and licensed MMJ cultivator, go give his instagram a look @zorotheterphunter.

Episode 80- Martin Stensaas Jun 28, 2021

Show notes

This week's episode features Martin Stensaas (@martin_stensaas) painter of etheral, non-linguistic imagery of the collective unconscious! Martin and I talk about Alan Watts' telephone, his process in painting, a novel that he's working on, UFOs, some of his creative influences and the idea of utopias. Martin has a lot of insights on art as well as life and I think you'll get something enriching from this conversation.
