Ivan Canu"Breve storia del K-Pop"Salani Editorewww.salani.itIL LIBRO CHE RACCONTA LA STORIA DEL K-POP E SVELA I RETROSCENA DEL FENOMENO CHE HA RIVOLUZIONATO IL NOSTRO MODO DI PENSARE ALLA MUSICA.II K-pop è fatto di momenti cristallizzati nel tempo. Alcuni sono momenti infinitesimali - il movimento perfettamente sincronico delle dita dei performer durante una coreografia, per esempio - altri invece sono impressi per sempre nella storia della cultura pop degli ultimi decenni: le Blackpink che infrangono ogni possibile record di vendita, gli Stray Kids ospiti al Met Gala 2024, i BTS a Londra con l'intero pubblico di Wembley a cantare per loro in coreano.II K-pop non è solo musica, è uno dei volti di una nazione - la Corea del Sud - diventata simbolo di modernità e dinamismo nel panorama globale. E una storia fatta di rinunce e sacrifici, di ascese vertiginose e cadute ancor più tragiche. E di protagonisti all'apparenza perfetti, inarrivabili; eroi ed eroine in grado di influenzare il PIL di un intero Paese, di cambiare la vita di persone distanti migliaia di chilometri attraverso il potere dei social, di generare mode e smuovere folle. Gli idol.Ivan Canu lavora a Milano come illustratore, art director, critico e scrittore. Da sempre appassionato della cultura pop, del Giappone e della Corea del Sud, negli ultimi anni si è dedicato allo studio e alla scoperta del fenomeno del K-pop, diventando uno dei massimi esperti del genere inItalia. È direttore del Mimaster Illustrazione e autore di libri editi in Italia, Corea, Giappone, Cina e Francia.

Artist and illustrator J.C. Leyendecker (1874-1951) helped shape modern American visual culture as the mind behind advertising campaigns like the legendary “Arrow Collar Man.” He was also responsible for countless covers for the Saturday Evening Post—one more, in fact, than Norman Rockwell.  Modern biographers also hold that Leyendecker was a gay man. Critics are now asking themselves whether his sexuality permeated into some of his most iconic commercial illustrations.  Today's Image: J.C. Leyendecker, “Record Time, Cool Summer Comfort,” (advertisement for Kuppenheimer menswear) (c. 1920). Oil on canvas.

In this episode I dive deep with visual artist Jared Freschman about his personal spiritual journey. We talk about the importance of finding new modes of spiritual identity. We talk about how organized religion typically doesn't create space for Queer people and how that drove him to find his own way of connecting to the mystical and magical components of life.  We talk about the influence Tarot and Astrology has had on him, as well as his own Jewish background.  We discuss the power of art to carve out these new kinds of spiritual spaces for people like himself.  We also dive into his own personal color theory and his approach to creating these powerful, personal expressions of his own spiritual identity.   --------------- Jared Freschman (b. 1996) is a Jewish-American artist based in NYC. Originally from Hockessin, Delaware. He received his BFA from Pratt Institute in 2018. Freschman also studied abroad in Jerusalem, Israel/ Palestine at Bezalel School of Art and Design. He currently lives and works in Brooklyn.Jared Freschman's fluid compositions conjure the hidden spiritual practices of today's queer youth. Ombré fades and jewel-tone color palettes open a door to nostalgic, dream-like memories. Freschman illustrates allegories that combine vivid flashbacks, mysticism, and hyper-feminine archetypes that own the composition. He builds a liminal space where control lies in the hands of queer individuals. Perspectives shift from first to third person, and the artist's lived experiences mingle with those of a broader queer collective.Freschman has exhibited his work internationally at Field Projects (NYC), Eve Leibe Gallery (London), PRIOR Art Space (Barcelona), The National Arts Club (NYC), The Untitled Space (NYC), Project Gallery V (NYC), GIFC (Norway), The Museum of American Illustration (NYC), Cooler Gallery (Brooklyn), The Delaware Contemporary (Wilmington, DE), Israel Illustration Week (Tel Aviv), Gallery 102 (Washington DC), The Delaware Art Museum (Wilmington, DE). His work has been featured in Marie Claire Taiwan, Dirtybarn, Artforum, ARTpublika Magazine, AIGA Eye on Design, Working Not Working, The Drawing Stall, FORGE Art Magazine, and more. Freschman has also received awards from American Illustration & Society of Illustrators.

In this episode of Money Tales, our guest is Lloyd Greif. After a decade-long investment banking career at Sutro & Co. Incorporated, Lloyd left to start his own boutique investment bank, Greif & Co. Some people would be skittish to make this leap. Not Lloyd. As he tells us, he was a top producer firm wide, and as the leading rainmaker within the organization, he was routinely generating 40% to 60% of the total revenue for their division. Lloyd had the relationships, contacts and chutzpah to know that that success he had at Sutro would carry over, even if he was starting Greif & Co. during a recession. Lloyd's extreme work ethic is legendary, and he had no doubts that he would pull off the new venture. Lloyd is a highly accomplished investment banker of four decades' standing. The fact that he routinely lectures on negotiations at all three of his alma maters – UCLA, USC and Loyola – speaks to his knowledge and expertise. He exclusively represents entrepreneurially owned and operated middle market companies, hence Greif & Co.'s reputation as “The Entrepreneur's Investment Bank.” Lloyd is a zealot for his clients, always putting their interests first, religiously avoiding conflicts of interest, and going to the mat for them. He is also renowned for getting tough, extremely complex deals done no matter the obstacles. A proven successful economic cycle rider, Lloyd founded his eponymous firm during the recession of the early 1990s and has persevered through three other economic downturns. The son of Holocaust survivors, Lloyd grew up in a one-bedroom apartment that he shared with his mother and older brother. Lloyd worked full-time to pay his way through school, earning three degrees—in Economics (BA―UCLA), Entrepreneurship (MBA―USC, Beta Gamma Sigma), and Law (JD―Loyola Law School, Order of the Coif). Running the midnight-to-9am store stocking crew at Ralphs Grocery Co. before going to school was not an infrequent occurrence for him. Lloyd founded Greif & Co. in 1992 following a successful, decade-long investment banking career as Vice Chairman of Sutro & Co., the oldest investment banking firm in the West, where he was head of the investment banking division and a member of the five-person Management Committee that ran the firm. Previously, Lloyd was a business operations and strategy consultant with Touche, Ross & Co. (Deloitte Consulting LLC). In 1997, Lloyd founded the Lloyd Greif Center for Entrepreneurial Studies at USC's Marshall School of Business. The Greif Entrepreneurship Center is consistently ranked among the top 10 entrepreneurial studies centers in the world. Lloyd is past chair of the Board of Directors of the Los Angeles Economic Development Corporation and the Los Angeles Police Foundation, a member of the Board of Directors of the California Chamber of Commerce, a member of the Board of Leaders of the USC Marshall School of Business, a member of both the Young Presidents' Organization (YPO) and World Presidents' Organization (WPO), a member of the Board of Overseers of Loyola Law School, past member of the Board of Trustees and Treasurer of the Florence Academy of Art, and a member of the Board of Advisors of the National Museum of American Illustration. In 2002, Lloyd received the Entrepreneurial Spirit Award from the Boy Scouts of America, in 2000 received the Corporate Excellence Award from Loyola Law School, in 1999 and 2012 received commendations from the City of Los Angeles for his “dedication and outstanding contributions to the Los Angeles community,” and in 2019 received the Alumni Service Award from the University of Southern California. A frequent public speaker, he is an internationally recognized authority in the field of mergers & acquisitions and corporate finance and has been featured in such books as The Entrepreneurial Journey, Strategies for Small Business Success, The Entrepreneurship Movement and the University, Loyola Law School: A Sense of Purpose and A Sense of Mission,

Maxfield Parrish is one of the most iconic artist of the Golden Age of Illustration. He was most well known for his calendar covers in the 1920's and 1930's. These would been seen across America's homes at the time, and often the calendar artwork would be saved and framed, after that year had passed. He was also commissioned for many magazine covers, book illustrations and commercial artwork (such as for Jello). But Parrish, like many other Golden Age Illustrators (such as JC Leyendecker and Howard Pyle), did not get the notoriety and name recognition they deserved. Aside from Parrish being probably my favorite artist, he was also a good person to profile as being hidden in history. Guest speaker: Judy Goffman Cutler, Founder and Director of the National Museum of American Illustration in Newport, Rhode Island, and the American Illustrators Gallery in New York City. For Judy's full biography, please refer to the People Hidden in History website (link here).  Judy will review key aspects of Parrish's professional life (spanning 70 years) and the 3 distinct artistic style periods. And you'll learn about the history of the National Museum of American Illustration, which houses the largest collection of Parrish's world-wide.  And finally, you will learn about his very distinctive style, which can be fantastical, or photo-realistic landscape paintings. You'll also be given an understanding of his painting techniques which provided a physical luminosity to his canvases.

It's 1967 and your train from Sandusky, Ohio, just rolled into Grand Central. You've got a suitcase in one hand and your portfolio in the other. You exit the station and take a right, uptown, before realizing it's the wrong way. (It's ok, you're not from around here). So you turn around, and head down to 223 East 31st Street, the studio of the celebrated designer Herb Lubalin, who was about to give you your first assignment in the big city. And so begins the career of legendary illustrator Brad Holland — a 50-plus year career that put him on the Mt Rushmore of contemporary American Illustration alongside Milton Glaser, Edward Sorel, Ralph Steadman, Seymour Chwast, and the recently-departed Marshall Arisman. When you begin your career in the Summer of Love, at some point the conversation is gonna turn to sex. After turning in his first piece to Lubalin's Avant Garde, a magazine with mild sexual themes, Holland's next few assignments came from magazines who liked it a little rougher: Screw Magazine and The New York Review of Sex, before finally landing a steady gig at Hugh Hefner's Playboy. As Playboy's legendary art director Art Paul would soon find out, Holland wasn't like other illustrators. Inspired by Gary Cooper's Howard Roark in the movie The Fountainhead, who battled against conventional standards and refused to compromise with the establishment, Holland was not willing to execute the spoon-fed instructions given by magazine art directors. He revolutionized the illustrator-for-hire dynamic. It changed everything. In this episode, Holland talks with our editor-at-large and esteemed design critic, Steven Heller, the co-chair of the MFA Design Department at the School of Visual Arts in New York, an Art Directors Club Hall of Famer and AIGA Medalist, who also calls Holland one of his oldest friends and mentors. They talk about their early days together, what it's like to tell your mother that you've finally sold a cover illustration—to Screw Magazine (!), how to say NO to a creative director, how to crop an Ayatollah, and—spoiler alert—how to avoid getting mugged in Alphabet City.

“You have to see this.” That's the message I see alongside a link sent to me by a friend. “Umm… I'm kind of busy, you know? I'm in the middle of things, working and I don't have time for links.” I fire back. He insists, “No, you really need to see this.” So I open up the link and see... an inkblot. An inkblot?!? Big deal! Then he tells me to play the video, and I do. I find myself completely enthralled as this inkblot suddenly becomes a creature that turns into an adorable monster. Oh, and the artist creating it is drawing it upside-down and backward! From white pages to inkblots to monsters, this art comes to life before my eyes. And each monster clearly has its own story behind it. I have to know who the artist is. I want to talk to him and find out everything I can because anyone with the talent to turn inkblots into monsters has won me over. How do you organically create something from nothing like that? Find out in this episode as I sit down with that incredible artist, Stefan G. Bucher. We discuss why starting your story in the middle helps you overcome resistance and why doing things for yourself without an audience might be the better way for you to go. You'll also hear about the role of storytelling in highlighting the common experience, how you can do things to feel less alone in the world, and Stefan's incredibly amusing technique to help you uplevel your storytelling game. What you will learn in this episode: Why your task is to find something, not create something Why connection is such an essential part of great storytelling How different mediums can unlock new ways to approach storytelling Who is Stefan? Stefan G. Bucher is a writer, graphic designer, illustrator, and all-around bookaholic. Born in Germany, he came to California and studied at the Art Center College of Design. His first introduction to book design happened as a child when he poured over the catalogs of the Wilhelm Busch Museum in Hannover. That early access began a lifelong journey to design and produce books in the same delightful and fascinating fashion that those early catalogs did for him. Stefan has received rewards, features, and recognition from design books and magazines and prestigious institutions in the literary world. He won the Yellow Pencil Award for Book Design from British Design and the Art Direction and the Art Directors Club of New York. Numerous book design exhibitions have featured his work such as those hosted by the American Institute of Graphic Arts, Minneapolis' Walker Art Center, and the Cooper Hewitt Smithsonian Design Museum. Stefan's most popular work, however, is the online animation series Daily Monster where he filmed himself drawing a new monster from random inkblots for 100 days. This series has enjoyed millions of views and downloads and inclusion in the Communication Arts Illustration and American Illustration annuals, and even new life in book form. In addition, he has worked with a wide range of entertainment, advertising, educational, and institutional clients and collaborated on projects with big names like Sting, director Tarsem, and The New York Times.

Jaime spent the first half of her childhood in California and then at the end of 6th grade, her family up and moved to the Silver Spring, MD area. While Jaime admits that she doesn't readily think about all of the cultural differences that may have impacted her experience, she definitely remembers thinking "I'm foreign to this people." She shares with use her experiences of teaching students from America and from China and the communication challenges that ensued.  Suprisingly and happily, I learned even more about Jaime through our conversation. Our talk led me to highlight the use of language as a proxy for (fill-in-the-blank), the individualistic versus collectivist nature of learning in the classroom, and communicating through imagery.Jaime ZollarsJAIME ZOLLARS is an author and illustrator who makes pictures for children's books, magazines, newspapers, and ad campaigns.

This season I have many more illustrators since I've been focusing on children's books. It is exciting to have Jamie Zollars on the podcast. Here is a bit about Jamie. JAIME ZOLLARS began making art at a young age, but her illustration career didn't take off until second grade, when she started drawing unicorns on friends’ Trapper Keepers for shiny nickels. She went on to draw local library brochures and elaborate student council campaign ephemera, quickly sealing her fate. To make it official, Jaime spent seven years in college, earning a BA in photography from UMBC in 1999, and a BFA in Illustration from the Art Center College of Design in 2003. While waiting for her first illustration jobs, Jaime worked as an extra on movie sets, tried out for every game show imaginable, and went for runs on the beach, because this is what people do in Los Angeles. Five game show appearances and a first (and last) marathon later - she was making art full-time. Jaime has illustrated children’s books, magazines, newspapers, and ad campaigns. Her clients include United Airlines, Random House, The American Red Cross, Simon & Schuster, Scholastic, Little, Brown, Clarion Books, Quarry Books and the L.A. Weekly. She has also created artwork for galleries including Copro Nason, Gallery Nucleus, and Giant Robot.

What subject matter do you love to paint? For you maybe it’s going outdoors and painting en plein air or to a crowded marketplace. Each artist has to find their own source of inspiration and motivation as they travel on their artistic journey - for Ricky Mujica - it’s all about family.  Ricky is an award-winning artist whose work appears in collections all around the world including Africa, Norway, Germany, and Mexico. His paintings have been exhibited at the Wausau Museum of Contemporary Art, The Bennington Museum of Art, The Salmagundi Club, the Museum of American Illustration and is in the permanent collection of the Portrait Society of America. Drawing from a wide range of artists, Ricky has forged his own creative path that is clear and distinct. While constantly honing his technical skills, Ricky also has an eye for the human experience - capturing scenes full of heart and emotion. I can’t wait for you to hear from Ricky’s unique and fascinating perspective - you might even catch a few helpful tips along the way.  Painting power  Who did you idolize when you were younger? Did you look up to an older sibling or maybe one of your parents? From great warriors to majestic mountains, artists throughout time have been drawn to powerful subjects. Ricky Mujica started painting scenes with mothers because he was drawn in by their power - the power to create life and sustain it.  In our conversation, Ricky was kind enough to share a fascinating story about why he painted an image of his wife breastfeeding their child on a subway - simply put - he was in awe. Hearing from Ricky, you really get the sense that he seeks to capture the essence of the moment in his paintings. Make sure to check out the captivating images of Ricky’s artwork located at the end of this post.   OPPA Let’s face it, life as an artist isn’t for the faint of heart - we go through a lot! We also get the profound privilege of honing our craft and showing the world what we see through our creative eye. In the midst of these difficult times with COVID-19 - I wanted to see what insights and advice a seasoned artist like Ricky had to share for those of us going stir crazy at home. In our conversation, Ricky opened up about his painting method he calls OPPA. Before each stroke of the brush, Ricky goes through the OPPA formula.  Observe - Be a detective, look around for clues that will inform your painting.  Plan - Wait and plan your stroke - don’t go on autopilot, be deliberate.  Put it down - Don’t wait too long, put something down on the canvas or paper.  Assess - Is it right? Did you miss anything that you need to change? Take an honest look.   As deliberate and planned out as Ricky’s approach seems, this is just the first pass. Ricky will often take a second, third and fourth pass before he is ready to continue. What can you learn from Ricky’s approach? Do you have a formula you’ve created over the years?  Outline of This Episode [4:00] I welcome my guest, Ricky Mujica.  [8:00] Ricky talks about why he enjoys painting mothers.  [18:00] Adapting to life under COVID-19.  [27:30] Is it OK to work from photos?  [30:00] Positive habits that Ricky has picked up over the years.  [36:30] Ricky explains technical details about his painting.  [41:15] What is OPPA?  [48:00] Taking a second, third, and fourth pass.  [57:00] Closing thoughts.  Other artists mentioned on this episode Rembrandt  Diego Velázquez  Michelangelo John Singer Sargent Charles Webster Hawthorne Richard Schmid Claude Monet Michelle Dunaway Resources Mentioned on this episode Ricky Mujica’s website

Born during his parents' flight from Cambodia in the wake of the Khmer Rogue genocide, Andrew Hem grew up poised in the balance between two cultures - the rural animistic society of his Khmer ancestors, and the dynamic urban arts of the tough Los Angeles neighborhood where his family eventually came to rest. Fascinated by graffiti at an early age, he honed his skills with graphics and composition on the walls of the city before following a passion for figure drawing to a degree in illustration from Art Center College of Design. Working in gouache, oil and acrylic, he weaves atmospheric, richly textured narratives in a vivid palette of twilight blues enlivened by swaths of deep red and splashes of golden light. His haunting impressions of culture and landscape evoke the life of the spirit through the visionary manifestation of memories and dreams. Over the six years since his graduation from Art Center with a B.F.A. in Illustration, Andrew Hem has exhibited in venues worldwide, from Jonathan LeVine Gallery in New York and the Portsmouth Museum of Art in New Hampshire to solo and group exhibitions in Los Angeles, San Francisco, San Diego, Seattle, Portland, Nashville, Miami, Toronto, Zurich and Leece, Italy.

Anelle Miller, Director of the Society of Illustrators and the Museum of American Illustration in New York City, understands a successful career requires more than just talent. After all, it's not what gifts you have, it's what you do with them. Early on Anelle learned what to do, what not to do, and how best to harness the creativity of herself and those around her. For this conversation, Anelle discusses the importance of confidence (not arrogance!) and how being a team player, a good leader and "the kind of person others want to work with" has contributed to her success. Since 2007, Anelle has served as Director of the Society of Illustrators and the Museum of American Illustration in New York City but her Creative Career story began many years earlier, in 1978, when she joined The Estée Lauder Companies. During her tenure, Miller helped to build their Origins-division to the 5th largest within the corporation. In the years following, Miller founded several successful businesses of her own including Bean Bag - a healthy food company featured in Women's Wear Daily and Allure magazine, and Original Women a company whose mission is to celebrate the artistry of women from around the world by selling their handcrafted creations. She serves on the board of Friends of Materials for the Arts, Friends of Art and Design (a neighborhood association that supports the school) and has worked with groups such as New Alternatives for Children, Coalition for the Homeless, PENCIL, The Foundling, and AMAC, which supports autistic children and their families.
