Show notes

This week’s guest needs no introduction, it’s the man, the myth and former co-host of the Artsy AF podcast, John Speaker! (@johnspeaker)

We talk about relating to social media, the ebbs and flows of creativity, living a balanced art life, success and it’s trappings, what our ‘three wishes’ would be and we round it out with a Visionary Haiku.

We’re doing a giveaway the rules of which are tucked into this episode somewhere. So, listen until the end and write either of us with the answer. The first person to write us gets the prize!

Episode 57- Supersillyus Dec 28, 2020

Show notes

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.

and, well... as they say... The Rest is History ™

Episode 53- Chelsea Lewinksi Sep 21, 2020

Show notes

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.
