Episode 68- Mike Dempsey of M.A.D House Art Apr 05, 2021

Show notes

Mike Dempsey (@mad.house_art) is an avid art collector and supporter of artists who just started his own brand with MAD (Michael Albert Dempsey) House Art. We talk about focusing on digital content in the pandemic year, his journey from business school to working with artists, and he shares what makes him excited about artwork and the artists themselves in the context of buying and selling art. We also touch on NFTs (cause what else can’t everyone stop talking about) and some interesting ways this verification service can be used outside of art. Mike is also my good bud and neighbor and we have sister dogs that are super freakin’ cute. Go check out @mad.house_ art on Instagram and all the amazing artists on the roster. Big BIG shouts to everyone out there listening, sharing, rating reviewing and subscribing to the podcast. Your support means a lot and it really helps grow this project!

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

Show notes

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

Show notes

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. Thanks for being here!

Episode 61- Mr. Bill Feb 01, 2021

Show notes

This week’s guest is none other than the legendary electronic music producer Mr. Bill ( @mrbillstunes). Not only is Bill an excellent producer, but he’s also a teacher of production via his online tutorials. You can sign up for some exclusive sample packs, live streams and project files via his hardcore Abletoneers package on his website: live.mrbillstunes.com

On top of all that Bill also has the Mr. Bill podcast where he talks about a wide range of topics with other edm producers! Check it out!

In this episode we talk brutal facts about the music industry, chess, collaborating and his process in making a tune. We had to keep it pretty short because Bill is working on a new album right now and is feeling the grind of maintaining a fruitful career that any creative at his level experiences. (Pro tip: you work harder, you see more success)

Thank you for listening in once again, and I hope you enjoy this episode.
