He also worked in college art programs for many decades, and so approaches teaching and artmaking from conceptual and maker-based perspectives. As such he seeks a marriage between elegance of concept and excellence in craftsmanship. As a teacher he seeks to demystify and make accessible to all the art making process.

Today Laura and Kevin chat with Matt Strippelhoff, the leader behind Red Hawk, to explore the evolving world of software development and the role innovation plays in shaping the industry. Matt shares his excitement about current trends in software development and explains how these advancements are influencing Red Hawk's approach to building applications. Matt explains how Red Hawk leverages AI tools like code copilots to streamline the development process, while emphasizing the importance of maintaining a "human in the loop" approach. He also addresses the concerns surrounding AI replacing jobs, asserting that AI should enhance, not diminish, the role of development teams. However, he stresses that companies should only invest in AI if they can clearly articulate its value to their business. The discussion takes a lively turn as the group delves into the topic of AI chatbot companions. Laura sparks a spirited debate by asking whether chatting with an AI bot could be considered cheating. Kevin and Matt argue that it is, while Laura counters with a humorous take, adding that falling in love with an AI companion might make someone a “loser.” The conversation also touches on the challenges of using AI in recruitment, with Laura recounting a bizarre hiring experience involving a candidate who turned out to be a group of people. Matt offers valuable advice for non-technical founders looking to build software companies, outlining common mistakes they make and providing practical tips to avoid them. He also looks ahead to Red Hawk's future, discussing the company's innovative model of bundling software development and engineering into managed services. Matt also shares stories from his 15 years with his rock band, Grace in Gravity, including the time they opened for Sarah McLachlan. Laura playfully suggests starting a new band called “The Tripods,” but Matt remains focused on his commitment to Red Hawk, which he describes as his all-in plan with no backup. There is also a discussion on the pros and cons of remote work versus in-office teams, sparking a debate on building a workforce for the future. With a mix of expert insights, practical advice, and entertaining anecdotes, this episode offers something for everyone—from tech enthusiasts and business leaders to those curious about the intersection of AI and human creativity.During his career, Matt Strippelhoff has curated an extensive portfolio in traditional and interactive media. Leading the development of web applications, mobile applications, e-commerce websites and specialized interactive marketing programs, he shapes Red Hawk's technological landscape.In 2022, The Circuit awarded Matt the Visionary Leader Award for his groundbreaking approach to software development.

I'm an artist, muralist, author, podcaster, and educator, with a passion for making meaningful connections through art. I'm proud to be a collected Canadian Artist, with my work exhibited internationally and across North America. Recently, I had the privilege of showcasing my pieces in the vibrant art scene of NYC. A highlight of my career has been the completion of my largest project to date, a monumental 3082 sq/ft mural titled Choose Love and Join Hands in Truth and Reconciliation. Along with the installation of this massive project, we ran an Indigenous Mentorship Program. To celebrate the project we held an unveiling and Final Ceremony with elders blessing, dancing and drumming. This collaboration with my community holds great personal significance. In 2021, I took my commitment to creative education further by founding an Art Academy in partnership with my local public school district, with a focus on inclusivity, diversity, and self discovery. Additionally, I established the Colour Me Happy online Community, Book, and Podcast, aiming to spread creative joy far and wide. In the coming years, I'm excited to take my educational workshops to the next level by building an eco-friendly artist residency and arts centre right here in Canada. My artwork has been featured on national television and has graced the pages of international publications and the prestigious Saatchi Gallery. I'm grateful for the support of collectors like Jillian Harris, Sarah Baeumler, Jenna Kutcher, Andrew Salgado, Jann Arden, and Sarah Nicole Landry (thebbirdspapaya). My studio, where my children and I create, is nestled in the tranquil Canadian prairies. It's not just a space, but a sanctuary for artistic expression and shared moments of creativity.” Connect with this episode's featured artist Brandi Hofer here: Website: https://www.brandihofer.ca/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/brandihoferstudios/ Instagram/ Colour Me Happy Community: https://www.instagram.com/colourmehappycommunity/ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/BrandiLHofer Check out Brandi's Online Portrait Class: https://brandihoferstudios.thrivecart.com/portrait-class/?_gl=1*1cjtoae*_ga*MTQ1NzU0MjQyNS4xNzIzNzY1OTcx*_ga_05JXSG6TKL*MTcyNDc1NjYwMi4zLjEuMTcyNDc1NjcyNS4wLjAuMA..

Most of our listeners have surely at least heard of Homeboy Industries, which is the largest gang intervention, rehab and re-entry program in the world. Founded in Los Angeles by the Jesuit priest Fr. Greg Boyle in 1988, Homeboy works with about 10,000 former gang members each year in dozens of different ways, from job training to tattoo removal to wraparound case management services. Fr. Greg recently received the Presidential Medal of Freedom for his pioneering work in this area. One of Homeboy's initiatives that host Mike Jordan Laskey just learned about recently is the Homeboy Art Academy, which engages at-risk youth and adults in diverse forms of art as tools for healing and transformation. The art academy is the brainchild of today's guest -- Fabian Debora, an accomplished visual artist and a former gang member himself. Fabian's story is so powerful – full of trauma and despair and hope and beauty and community. Unlike most episodes of AMDG, this one isn't a classic interview. We're just going to let Fabian share his story with you. You don't want to miss it.

In s3e46, Platemark host Ann Shafer speaks with Reinis Gailitis, an engraver from Riga, Latvia. The magic of the internet is fully on display today. Without it, finding Reinis's work would have been challenging. But his self-portrait in the style of Claude Mellan's Holy Face, the one with a single line emanating from the subject's nose, is a marvel. Ann and Reinis talk about how engraving is simultaneously the most simple and direct of techniques while being the most difficult. They talk about tricks and tools shared by artists thanks to the internet: how to transfer a drawing onto a shiny copper plate for engraving (thanks, Andrew Raftery), what recipe to use for a darkened paste to fill already carved lines to see progress (thanks, Lembit Lõhmus), choosing a non-toxic solvent and trying out a custom tube of ink (thanks, Ad Stijnman), about non-toxic electrolytic etching (thanks, Jason Scuilla). They talk about the pitfalls of selling Intagram-worthy art, why there's little-to-no printmaking culture in Latvia, and about how overdue we are for a severe magnetic storm that could wipe out electronic media, documents, art pointing to the importance of printed objects.

Religion Unplugged senior contributor Robert Carle speaks with Dr. Karlis Verdins, who teaches literature at the Art Academy of Latvia. Verdins hopes to confront Latvians with an honest reckoning of their complicity in the Holocaust. Verdins obtained a record of the Viktors Arajs's two year trial in Hamburg, which took place in Hamburg in 1977-79. Verdins turned the story of the trial into a drama, which opened in a small theater in Riga, Latvia in March 2023. The title of the play, “Wasn't There. Don't Know. Don't Remember,” refers to Arajs's defense at his trial. Holocaust survivors who saw Arajs murder Jews contradicted Arajs's testimony, and the court sentenced Arajs to life imprisonment. Latvians have been loath to acknowledge their complicity in the Holocaust. “They wanted to protect their old, loving fathers and grandfathers who had committed such crimes,” Verdins said. “Latvians cannot whitewash Nazi crimes just because we think that Soviet crimes were even worse,” Verdins said.

Congresswoman Debbie Wasserman Schultz of Florida will join some new House leaders including Congressman Wesley Hunt of Texas and Congresswoman Nikema Williams of Georgia. The caucus aims to raise awareness of sensitivities in both the Black and Jewish communities, combat stereotypes, and showcase commonalities. And with us this week to talk about their efforts to do the same are Candace Bazemore and Gabby Leon Spatt, co-authors of the children's book Shabbat and Sunday Dinner, which was honored with the Award of Excellence from the Religion Communicators Council. Both are members of the Black/Jewish Coalition and participants in AJC's Project Understanding, a biannual weekend of dialogue to develop understanding and friendships between leaders of the Black and Jewish communities. Our guest host this week is Dov Wilker, AJC's Director of Black Jewish Relations. Dov, the mic is yours. Dov Wilker: Thank you, Manya. Candace and Gabby, welcome to People of the Pod. Candace Bazemore: Thank you. We're excited to be here. Gabby Leon Spatt: It's a great opportunity. We're really excited to chat with you. Dov Wilker: Well, wonderful, we're just gonna jump right on in. And so I'm curious, Gabby, Candace, how did y'all meet? And how did you go from being friends to co-authors? Gabby Leon Spatt: Candace and I are both transplants to Atlanta, growing up in Florida, Virginia, both moving here for college or after college. And our original meeting actually was through the Junior League of Atlanta. We served on a committee together and launched a leadership program that was trading opportunities for Junior League members. But when we really met and realized how much we really adore each other, love each other, learn from each other, was from our shared experience of both attending Project Understanding, which is a program of Atlanta's AJC office, the Black-Jewish Coalition. And once we realized we both had that experience, our conversations changed, our friendship deepened, we really had the opportunity to share to learn to have meaningful conversations. And one day, we were planning an alumni event for Project Understanding participants, and we kind of talked about writing a book. And I'll let Candace share a little bit more about that. Candace Bazemore: Yeah, well, first of all, knowing how we met is like a very cool thing, because it just showcases some of the great ways that Atlanta already has great systems and organizations in place to help people look for ways to build across different community lines. I probably would have never met Gabby otherwise, which means that the book that we wrote together would have never happened. And the way the book came about was actually really cool. During the pandemic, we got tapped to help be on a planning committee for the Project Understanding's alumni New Year's Day brunch, which was going to be virtual, since no one could go anywhere, because of COVID. In the middle of one of the planning sessions, actually, at the start of one of the planning sessions, we were waiting for the two guys to join, of course, all the ladies got on first. And... Dov Wilker: I take offense to that. Candace Bazemore: It's fine. It's okay. It's true, though. And so we were discussing what we were planning on having for the brunch, because we were encouraging everyone to find a traditional meal to have for the brunch so people could be eating and talking, even though we couldn't be in the same place. And Gabby shared, she was going to have bagels and lox and I said chicken and waffles. But I didn't know like, what's bagels and lox? And we're like, Wouldn't it be a great idea to share recipes as a way to unite people? And then that led to us to kind of discussing like, you know, well, there's tons of recipe books out there. But what if we tried to get people earlier to start thinking about it. And so that's how we got to the idea of a children's book. Dov Wilker: Wait, I have to ask, have either of you written a children's book before? Gabby Leon Spatt: Definitely not, no. Candace Bazemore: No, this is our first children's book. I've written a ton of blogs. Dov Wilker: Have you ever written a book before? Candace Bazemore: No, not since being like a little, no. Everybody does, like young authors or something like that in school, but not a book book. This is our first. Gabby Leon Spatt: We like stretch projects. We like to try new things in between taking care of our friends, our families, our full time jobs, you know. Dov Wilker: You've got boundless energy, the two of you. Gabby Leon Spatt: Yes we do. Dov Wilker: What do you hope that readers are gonna gain from the book? I mean, in the year or so since it's been released, what's been the response? Gabby Leon Spatt: The experience, the stories we hear, I mean, I'll be sitting in a meeting, and somebody says, I read that book to my granddaughter, and it's the only one she wants to read now, and she just took so much away from it. But for us, I think the big picture is when you open your stomach at a dinner table, there's a way to start to open your heart and your mind. And Candace and I have shared so many life events together, holiday dinners, Shabbat dinners, Sunday dinners, just real times, where we've had that opportunity to kind of dive in and when you taste something new or something different, and you're at someone's home or their family member cooks it–there's always a story that goes behind it. And that's really the inspiration of this book is that the dinner table is a special place that brings people, ideas, and cultures together. And we thought, how do we tell this story, and the story was about telling our own family traditions, and what we typically do when we celebrate a Friday night Shabbat dinner, or a Sunday dinner. And so the characters, you know, are loosely mirrored after us and our families, and what the dinner means to us. And so the story follows two friends through their class presentations, as they learn more about each other's family traditions. And the hope is that the book introduces readers to other cultures and communities, and that we pique some interest in learning about other traditions. And the book is a great, you know, conversation starter, not just for children, but even for adults who maybe haven't had some of those unique experiences. For us, it was really important to be able to tell them more than just the story within the book. But we tell a little bit of the history of Black-Jewish relations. And we also have a page that is continuing the conversation. Dov Wilker: I'm curious, Candace, has that been your experience as well, I mean, you sit in a meeting, and someone tells you about the book that they've read that their grandchild only wants to only wants to read that, or you got another story? Candace Bazemore: Yeah, actually, I have a couple of stories like that, I actually had an opportunity to speak at a children's center here in Virginia. And the kids were so excited, they were sharing their family dinner traditions, and things like that. So that was very cool that came from the book reading. And we've had, I was actually in a meeting last night and a program associated with AJC, and we were all talking about some plans for a program for young people. And one of the organizers mentioned about our book, and two of the people in the meeting had the book that they read to their young kids. And that's their favorite book. So it was like, very cool. I was like, Oh, my god, yeah, that's great. But one of the coolest things, I'm in a friend's group with Gabby and some other black and Jewish women. And one of the members, when we first launched the book, she ordered it on Amazon, and it got delivered to her neighbor's house by accident. And she had never met the neighbor, the neighbor just opened, because of course, it was during the pandemic, the height of everybody getting Amazon orders. And so she just was like, Oh, this must be my order. She opens it up. It's a book, she doesn't know what it is. But it's, you know, the cover was inviting, she opened it up, she read the whole book, and then she put it back in the envelope with a personal note to our friend, and said, hey, you know, I got this book by mistake, I was really excited and really love this story. The images inside, the message, and I read some of the questions at the end. I'd love to get together with you over dinner, to talk more about it, because I'd love to learn more about your community. So that's how she became friends with her neighbor through the book. So it's very cool. Dov Wilker: That's really an incredible story for so many reasons. So this Thursday, July 13, AJC's marking the relaunch of the Congressional Caucus on Black-Jewish Relations, where the two of you will be sharing your story. What do you hope our nation's leaders will gain from hearing about your experience? Gabby Leon Spatt: So we're really excited to be at the relaunch of the Congressional Caucus. I think, for us, the hope is for people to know that this work is happening, these communities are engaging already, revisiting the past, this is not a new relationship. This is one that is rooted in many, many, many years of friendship, of teaching, of learning. And it's still happening. It's just maybe happening, you know, in a new way. I hope that we're able to inspire those that are in the room, including the congressmen and the congresswomen to really make this part of the agenda, to really celebrate the relationship and show the impact we can make and that we are making. Dov Wilker: I love that. I couldn't agree more. So the goals of the caucus are to raise awareness, provide resources and unite black and Jewish, and black-Jewish communities to combat hate and stereotypes. How do you think the caucus can achieve that? Big picture here. Candace Bazemore: First of all, it's a great question. I'm gonna give you a little bit of background about myself. And the fact that I actually was in college, a Congressional Black Caucus Foundation congressional intern. So I spent a summer working on the hill, in Congressman Scott, Robert C. Scott's office, Bobby Scott, from the Third District of Virginia. And it was very cool to see some of the great things they were doing to help shape young minds and future leaders. And I think that the caucus and the role of congressional leaders and just leadership in general requires you to look at ways to unite and to get your constituents and your communities that you touch, to look for ways to work together. I mean, the goal of a congressperson is to take their district and help make it better. I know in recent years, we've seen leadership go in the wrong direction. But these leaders have the opportunity to build bridges instead of tear them down. And so they can be the catalyst for change in their communities, they have the ability to direct resources and to direct attention, as well as to put their time on these topics. So they're already doing it by obviously relaunching the program and the caucus. And so the next step is then to empower their constituents to start these dialogues, start these conversations. And, and I think this gives them a reason, and also the organizations that they touch, a reason to start looking for ways to unite these communities. Dov Wilker: Excellent. So, you know, I want to take it a little more local, before we go back to the macro national level. Can you tell us more about your experience with Project Understanding? So for those that don't know, our listeners, AJC's Atlanta office has been running this, Marvin C. Goldstein Project Understanding Black Jewish retreat, every other year, since 1990-ish. We bring together 18 black and Jewish and some black-Jewish leaders to be a part of the conversation. So 36, in total. For 24 hours of intense dialogue. So I'm wondering if you could tell us a little bit more about that experience for you. And if you've been involved since then, beyond writing this book together, and I think Candace, you even referenced a new initiative that you're a part of, so I was wondering, if you could share a little bit more about that, too. Gabby Leon Spatt: Yes. So, you know, I mentioned earlier, the retreat was just eye opening, really moving. You know, I grew up, the granddaughter of Holocaust survivors, we were told, you always love everybody. The idea in my family of not liking somebody just because of their skin color, or their culture or their religion. It just didn't exist. And I don't know that I noticed, you know, growing up, I was already kind of doing some of this work. And I had a mentor of mine in college, who was my Greek advisor. And we talked a lot about black and Jewish relations at the time, he asked me to make him, challah French toast because he always associated challah with Jewish. And I said, Sure. And I went to church with him, actually, here in Atlanta, we were here for a conference. And, you know, it just kind of happened authentically. And coming to Atlanta and getting connected with AJC, and the Black-Jewish Coalition. And then Project Understanding. I think I realized how powerful the experiences I had in the past were, and this just felt like home for me. And it's also, Dov, it's incredible to see how you've invested more into the program and opened it up to a generation above, reaching 40 to 55 year olds, but also this year, launching a high school program. And so I think the impact of the retreat, that happens immediately, but also has a long lasting impact, we've really been able to make change within the Atlanta community. Dov Wilker: Candace, how about for you? Candace Bazemore: Yeah. Well, you know, first of all, Gabby touched on all the things that are dear to my heart about, you know, what we've learned along the way in our journey together. I kind of like listening to her talk about some of the programs were a part of. I mean, to see people from Project Understanding, the Black Jewish Coalition at events for the United Way or for the Junior League. I recently hosted a fundraiser for the Amario's Art Academy, which was a sneaker ball to help this, this program that helps young kids connect with arts and art opportunities that they wouldn't normally have, because they don't have the access to afford expensive art programs. And to have Gabby and her husband show up and have such a great time, and other people from other programs that were associated. So it's great to see how much the community building how it blends across everything that helps the community grow and be more diverse. And she even mentioned the the team program, through Project Understanding, it's the Black Jewish Teen Initiative is what it's called. So applications are open for this great program where the teens get to participate, they're high school juniors and seniors from across Greater Atlanta, coming together to learn about, black Jewish relationships, to learn about, like the impact of racism, antisemitism, to learn about diversity within the black and Jewish communities. So I mean, I'm just super excited about some of the things that have come from these programs. And, and the fact that we're more forward thinking. So the idea of the book is a way to get in front of young minds, the idea of this program is to get in front of teen minds, the Project Understanding traditional program is for those emerging leaders. And now the new programs that are for people who maybe weren't around when these programs existed to instill, learn and build communities as they get older. We're looking at the whole life of people, how do you build relationships your whole life, so that those communities when you need them already there, you already know someone you can pick up the phone and say, Hey, how do I do this? What's the best way to do this? Or I made a mistake? How do I improve? How do I correct this? By having these relationships, there's more opportunity for grace. So, you know, gaps may happen, mistakes can happen. But if you have relationships, you have something that you can, dip into and say, Hey, how do we do things better? How do we do things differently? Gabby Leon Spatt: I think it's also, you know, special to point out, we're one story, we're one outcome, right? There have been other individuals who have participated in Project understanding, who have started a barbecue team at the Atlanta Kosher BBQ Festival, which happens to be the largest kosher barbecue festival in the entire country. And that, you know, became a learning experience, just for themselves to be on the team, you had to go through Project Understanding, you know, and there's this cultural experience of explaining what kosher meat is. And you don't want to put extra salt in the rub, because it's already salted right. And when you like, the, you know, the barbecue, that has to be after Shabbat on sundown on Saturday, and the mashgiach has to light it. And then it's like, Who is that, right? And so the stuff that's happening in our community is so authentic, it just is happening, and it's so nice to see people just wanting to learn and continue the conversation past just the retreat. Dov Wilker: I can also share that as an attendee of the BBQ Festival. It's not just that they're there together,they're grilling good meat. It's a very tasty experience to attend. Alright, so one final question. What are ways that we can highlight the positive worker interactions between our two communities? Candace Bazemore: Well, that's a great question. I always say the best way to highlight it is to ask people to share their individual stories. And me being a digital person, definitely utilize social media in order to get the word out about the ways that you know you're working together. If you're in a room with someone who doesn't look like you, and you're working on these tough problems and coming up with great solutions. share a post about that, encourage someone else to do that, too. If you have an event coming up, invite someone else out to come with it, that normally wouldn't be in the room. So I don't know how many times me and Gabby have been the only ones of us in a room before. A great example. I was in town during the great challah bake. And 300 Jewish women at the-was it at the Bernie Marcus center? Gabby Leon Spatt: Yes, the Jewish Community Center. Candace Bazemore: Jewish Community Center. Yeah. And so I was the only black woman or maybe one or two in the whole room? Gabby Leon Spatt: It was just you. Candace Bazemore: It was just me, okay. And was having a good old time making some challah bread. Because challah's my thing. Obviously, Gabby has shown me how to make challah bread. So I'm actually pretty good at it. She's getting good at deep fried cornbread as a matter of fact as well. Gabby Leon Spatt: Oh it's so good. I think it's opportunities like this, being able to be invited to share your story. And I think the caucus is really going to highlight a lot of what is happening across the country already, and give, you know, local advocates on the ground doing the work the opportunity to shine and to tell their story, because I think more than anything, storytelling is impactful, and it hits, at people's hearts and people's minds, and in our case, people's stomachs. Dov Wilker: Well, thank you, Gabby, and Candice, Candice and Gabby, we are so grateful for the book that you've written for the delicious food, that you're helping to inspire being made across this beautiful country, and to your participation in the relaunch of the Congressional Caucus on Black-Jewish relations. Candace Bazemore: Thank you. Dov. Gabby Leon Spatt: Thanks.

Today I talked to Mark Staff Brandl about his new book A Philosophy of Visual Metaphor in Contemporary Art (Bloomsbury, 2023). Brandl is an artist and art historian with a PhD from the University of Zurich. He is an Associate Professor of Art History Emeritus at the Art Academy of Liechtenstein and Higher Professional College for Art in St. Gallen, Switzerland. His work has been shown in galleries and museums in America, Europe, Egypt and elsewhere. Brandl is by his own admission an iconoclast, and somebody who mixes philosophical discourse with more polemical “rants” in advocating for creativity. For instance, as addressed in this episode Brandl does not hesitate to find fault with contemporary artists who take the “cheap out” of relying (too much) on irony, instead of sparking hope; and likewise with collectors of art who often function merely as speculators. Brandl's approach honors Lakoff and Johnson's seminar book, Metaphors We Live By, while applying their approach to the visual arts. A notable example is that for Brandl the artist Van Gogh can be thought of in terms of a passionate flame (the metaphor being, passion is hot), with cypress trees that can appear like candles in the way they've been painted. To understand how form and content intertwine in art, this episode offers a good jumping off point. Dan Hill, PhD, is the author of ten books and leads Sensory Logic, Inc. (https://www.sensorylogic.com). His latest two books are Blah Blah Blah: A Snarky Guide to Office Lingo and Emotionomics 2.0: The Emotional Dynamics Underlying Key Business Goals.

Khaled Barakeh talked about his art work on reframing moments of dissonance, and often outright injustice, in political, and social structures.Khaled Barakeh is a conceptual artist and cultural activist. He graduated from the Faculty of Fine Arts in Damascus in 2005 and received his MFA from Funen Art Academy in Odense, Denmark, in 2010. In 2013, he completed a Meisterschuler study at the Städelschule Art Academy in Frankfurt a.M., Germany. In recent years, his projects have delved into the media's portrayal of victims of conflict, once cohesive communities divided by political strife, and the dynamics of integration for refugees. Barakeh sees art as an opportunity for these moments to be understood, and felt, by a broader audience; not just the individuals which experience their acute effects.Created & Hosted by Mikey Muhanna, afikraEdited by: Ramzi RammanTheme music by: Tarek Yamani https://www.instagram.com/tarek_yamani/About the afikra Conversations:Our long-form interview series features academics, arts, and media experts who are helping document and/or shape the history and culture of the Arab world through their work.

Art Money Success with Maria Brophy - Designing a Life you LOVE!
I give up! The other day I got so discouraged, because marketing for my courses and my Art Academy https://www.brophyartacademy.com/art-business just isn't working, after making a large investment. After sleeping on it, I realized that I was trying to do things the way that other people were telling me to do them. But that did not work for me. It was out of alignment with my own way of working and my own values. Do you find yourself trying to do things the way everyone else does, and it doesn't work? Listen in, I have a suggestion!
And on this little episode – our 73rd – we'll talk to Jordanna Kalman (@rabbitsparrow on IG), a photographer whose art doesn't end with either the photograph or the print. We also look for some much needed inspiration from a few little-known photographers. There's some tips on making anthology zines, as well as a zine review, the answering machine, and ohh so much more. Jordanna Kalman Our guest today produces work that is as confrontational as it is controversial. Her methods are unconventional, and the results push us to reckon with the history of photography, and how that history affects us to this day. We were honored to sit down with Jordanna Kalman.

Following the war, Bernd was a painter and Hilla took up photography, taking after her mother. In the late 1950s, both enrolled in Kunstakademie, the Art Academy in Dusseldorf. Soon after starting classes, they met. They soon discovered that they not only had overlapping interests, but complementary interests as well. What each brought to the collaboration added to that collaboration. Almost from the beginning, they established the parameters for their work. They'd photograph industrial structures in such a way that each print would render the subjects in an almost identical fashion. Here are some of their photos: Zine Review The Closing of a Corner Store by Amelia Bjesse-Puffin This isn't a typical photozine. It's a b&w xeroxed halfsize zine. Here, Amelia shows and writes about the last days of a neighborhood's Rite Aide. Many neighborhoods in our cities have long ago abandoned that notion of corner store. They've been replaced by chain drug stores like Rite Aide and CVS. But now, with gentrification and the rising cost of living, especially on the West Coast, even those chains are pulling up stakes and abandoning the communities they served for years. Amelia has documented what we see happening around us. These types of zines are essential. Nobody else is or really could tell this story.

My name is Miķelis Baštiks, and this is Asketic Podcast, where we discuss design and branding. This time we're meeting illustrator Roberts Rūrāns and talk about how to develop your signature style from street art to medieval art and find global clients while working here in Latvia.I've always really liked to draw, and that's essentially illustration, creation of images.But you didn't start out as a professional illustrator. At first you were doing large-scale graffiti on the streets. I'm interested to hear your retrospective view on how you went from painting large-scale pictures on to painting with extremely fine brushes, going from the utmost maximal to the utmost minimal scale. You started out as a designer, you worked as an in-house illustrator at an agency, now you're an independent freelance illustrator. How did you find yourself on this path to illustration and to realizing this is what you want to do? As I've mentioned before, this path began in early childhood. Drawing has always been my favorite activity, which I did in my free time and not so free time. My parents took me to art schools, and I positioned myself on this trajectory. It seemed like the natural path to take. To draw or create something on a plane. It progressed step by step until I found myself in Jānis Rozentāls Art School. When I finished this Secondary School, I applied to the Art Academy of Latvia but didn't get in at first. Then in England. When it comes to the occupation, I've never considered an alternative scenario for my life.For a while you were a designer. Yes, I was, because back then I knew only of caricaturists, which meant satirical and political cartoons, but that didn't particularly captivate me. I also knew of designers, who work with visuals, but only occasionally do drawings.There are also painters.Exactly, there are painters and artists, who create whatever they want at their studio, organize exhibitions and sell their work. And I wasn't really aware of illustrators, who essentially are commercial artists. Once I enrolled in the Art Academy, I realized I need to get to know this industry better. Like, who are these people that are artists, but also are able to earn something and pay their bills? Those obviously are designers. I'd say I got lucky. I ended up here, in Asketic, a while ago, as you remember.Do you remember the turning point when you chose illustrations over design as your primary pursuit?It actually happened here. When you do other things, you realize what you don't like and that you want to do something else. Here I realised that I lack design skills and that the most enjoyable tasks are the ones where I have to draw something by hand, where I have to come up with ideas for illustrations. You also mentioned my interest in street art, which I've had since being 14. I was influenced by friends and art school. It was a task which grew into a long-time interest. That also played a huge part in me choosing a career of an illustrator. It captivated me so much that I felt I could do it forever.As a professional illustrator, what do you now think of street art and 16-year-olds who create it? If I'm being serious, it was something that I needed at that age, but later people mostly grow out of the interests of their youth or transform them into something more mature.In your street art period, you painted with completely different tools in a large scale, but now your works are particularly small-scale even for an illustrator. Firstly, you draw by hand and, secondly, you use really fine brushes. What do you think of this contrast?Upon reflection, it shows how much I've changed or moved away in my thinking from the place I was back then. I've remained on the same path of visual expression and illustrations, but my way of thinking is completely different. Perfectionism was prominent back then as well. I needed all lines to be neat, they couldn't be wobbly or blurry. Lines and areas had to be sharp. Such visual nuances have remained.Since you primarily paint by hand and not digitally and since you have a tendency towards perfectionism, it would seem that a digital image could be modified much more easily, thus allowing you to attain perfection. What do you do, when you draw by hand? Do you start from scratch or use the eraser? How do you handle yourself?Nowadays there's this beautiful super-eraser called Photoshop, which forgives many mistakes. I have a balance between “perfect” and “non-sterile perfect”, so the human touch is still felt. You have to understand what perfection means to you.When you realized you'll become an illustrator, what made you decide to mostly illustrate by hand – on the paper with real brushes and real paints?That happened gradually. I tried a lot of things, including technical, before I arrived at my current style. I've studied graphics at the Art Academy, I've tried various techniques of graphics, which also involve working by hand. I've also drawn lots of things digitally in various styles. It's been an evolution. By trying these various things, my intuition has told me what are the specific aspects which I like and which I'm ready to continue applying. And those which I dislike.Illustrators represent an interesting position between designers and artists, where you work on orders, but simultaneously you have your own vision and signature, which is the reason why you get chosen and receive orders. You're not an artist, who creates based on their whims, but you're neither a designer who has to be able to work in various styles, and, even if you can, you have chosen your own signature. How do you see your balance between professional occupation, artistic ambition and your developed signature style?This is a very good characterization. I've also said this about illustrators – it's art with a task.When I looked through your website, I saw that your signature style has developed from minimalistic, geometric shapes into an interpretation of medieval art. Do you create your signature intentionally or allow yourself to flow? What happens when people, who knew you six months or a year ago and made an order back then, return as clients? Do you draw in your previous style or you insist that it will look differently now?Yes, I'm in a transitional stage. It's a good question. As you said, it can be seen on my website. There's more simplistic, even minimalist, stuff at the bottom, but now my works are rich in detail. In this transitional stage I still have clients who request my previous type of work. Depending on the task and all other criteria, I either agree or say “No, thank you”.So you do assess the request. You're not willing to apply the style from a previous artistic stage.It depends. Sometimes I am, if the other criteria are quite good.Primarily, financial?Yes, primarily.It's an actual aspect of the topics usually discussed on this podcast. We talk about design, business and branding. These things relate to you as an illustrator as well. You represent an intermediate stage between designers and artists, it is an occupation that lets you earn money and you're also developing your brand. The matter of your signature style also contributes to your branding process. It's one way for a designer and different for an artist. You have the privilege to set out your own path, but, at the same time, the orders you receive tend to direct you in one way or another.It's an old truth that what you show to the world is what others start to want from you. As a literal example, I've worked for the Olympics with an illustration of a sportsman. After that I had several clients from the sports industry who were interested in collaboration. In one interview you mentioned that it's important for artists to show their work, actively participate in competitions and be present on social media. You can't just sit and wait for clients. Many artists probably feel like their job is done once they complete the piece of art. How do you divide your time between creating art, preparing invoices and showing your work in public?It's very unstructured. My calendar day is not split up in hours, I go with the flow, but each part of the work certainly takes its time. I truly believe you have to show your work to people, so they know you exist. And you have to do it regularly. I might not be the best example of this. The perfectionism in me sometimes keeps me back from showing some content. That's not good. I would advise showing even unpolished stuff, work in progress. Nowadays, when it comes to showing yourself, it's mostly about the quantity, not the quality.You're one of the rare creative professionals who understands that you don't have to do everything by yourself. You have not one, but several agents, who allow you to reach the global market. How did you come to that realization? Tell me how it works.I have other helpers, like my accountant, who significantly alleviates my work. I realized that after researching other global illustrators. I saw that it's standard practice. I watched interviews with agents or artists speaking about agents to better understand what that means. I realized it's a good way to reach foreign markets and fight for provisions that are favourable to you on the business side of things. The agent represents me, namely, tries to get the best deal for me. That improves the financial side. The aspect of rights is resolved, whether the client buys or leases my work. The agent takes over the accounting part, sends out invoices, collects money, all that side of things. Essentially does everything, except creates the work. Also does all communication with clients.Can you tell me about the provisions? One would think you just draw a picture and get paid. End of story. You've established the culture very well, where it's not just a binary activity, draw-pay. There are various stages, various criteria. Can you walk me through it? Let's say, I'm an entrepreneur who wants to order your illustration. What are the criteria that make up these provisions?Unless you had told me in the first e-mail everything you want, I would ask you the terms of reference. What exactly you want me to draw, how much, in what time, whether you have a budget in mind or you want me to make an offer? In order to understand the financial side, I'd like to know the ways you intend to use my work. Is it for an event, a website or a longer campaign? Or do you want to acquire all rights and own my work? Following on from that, I or my agent will offer some budget options.Meaning, if I'd like to get one poster for my high school party, the price would be one, but if I wanted to print 100 000 copies of it for boxes of packaging, the price would be different?Yes, exactly. It's not very common in Latvia, since the industry is still new here. Little time has passed since the restoration of independence. But it's a global norm that the artists can indeed sell their rights and their work, but mostly clients lease it. They buy the rights to use it for a certain period of time or type of use. If the client, who you've printed the high school poster for, says he would actually like to use the same illustration for another upcoming event, then the client would ask for a permission to do so and the price for it. If we as artists know that we own our work, we can…Make it work for us?Yes, it can create a passive income. After a while, if the provisions agreed upon with the original client allow it, I can sell the rights to use the same work to others or to the same client for other applications and so on.Could you tell me about the process? Not for pro bono works for local friends. You've worked with quite many global clients and publications. Do they come to you with a clear idea? For example, do they ask you to draw these two people doing this activity, but in your style? Or do they tell you the theme and leave the portrayal up to you, let's say, in one sketch or ten? Do you prepare one tiny sketch or a whole presentation?Tasks tend to differ. There are clients with a clear vision and there are clients who are open to my interpretation of their rough idea. It's best when it's something in-between. You have the artistic freedom, but it's also clear that they know what they want. As for the work process itself, I initially research the theme, so I have a better idea of what I should portray. In the first stage I send out rough, even sloppy sketches that mostly just communicate the idea and concept options. Then the client makes a choice or we find the direction the client wants to take through discussion. I then develop this idea to the next level. First level is a postmark-sized sketch with pen in a notebook.Postmark-sized? Really that small?Yes, it's nothing visual, just gives you the idea. The next level is when I turn this postmark into a postcard, which is bigger and now has a clear composition of how it will look in the end. The third level is a colourful sketch. The composition is refined even more, and it's clear what colours will be used where. This stage is done digitally. Then comes client's approval, some adjustments and then we move on to the final product –a water-colour painting on paper, which, of course, is the best part of the job. The client has only seen the colourful digital sketch with vectors and coloured areas. People have told me that it looks complete and ready-to-use already in that stage. I tell them to wait for a little bit. And when I send them the final work they go “Wow!”. You see the textures. It's flat, but not digital-flat. Overall, it creates a cool impression.Is it still digital? You probably don't send them the physical copy by mail.Yes, in the end it's still digital. I paint it, scan it and send them the file.What was the turning point when you realized you can not only do this for your friends and concerts or create this as a by-product for some visual identity, but that you can work globally as a professional illustrator?The first big successes cemented my confidence that I'm capable and that it's something of value, something that people want and is necessary. But how did that happen? You were drawing your first orders. When was the first breakthrough?I think it's when I was noticed. My first foreign client was Vogue.That's an interesting jump. You're a new illustrator from Riga and then suddenly –– Vogue. I'm inclined to believe there was something in-between. I would like to understand what happened after you decided to become an illustrator –s and many people do, they start drawing, post images on Instagram, but it's not like the next step for everyone is Vogue.They noticed me, but before that I was noticed by “It's Nice That”.Okay, and how did they notice you? Did you send something to them or did they discover you?No, they discovered me. I usually don't send anything, okay, no, I have sent some things, but they did notice me.What did they notice? Your website or Instagram account?It was one specific project that was created in collaboration with “Kus!”. There was this workshop that had artists from the Great Britain collaborating with new Latvian artists to create some short stories.So the first project was non-commercial?Yes.And it was noticed by media?That often is the key – to create something that fascinates you and that you can have fun with. You can push the boundaries of your abilities. It might not be commercialized in this exact form, but the client who would want something less bold will see that you can be really bold, interesting and captivating. They might commission you for a boring job, but they need that confidence that you're a cool guy. So, I was noticed by “It's Nice That” and afterwards the bigger clients started to appear, Vogue being the first one. It's like stairs – you complete one project and it gets noticed by someone else and so on.Is there a system for how you make people take notice of you? Do you post on Instagram and wait for people to call you?Yes, I just post on Instagram and wait.And the waiting has been successful so far?Yes, it has.Very good. How many years have you worked as a professional illustrator?For about seven or eight years.How do you see yourself in ten years? Won't you get bored of drawing? Or is it the way you develop your style and what you will continue doing as long as your hands allow it?Yes, as long as my hands allow it, I will continue doing it. Hopefully I will develop my technique even more. Like you said in the beginning, I used to do large-scale street art, but now I work with very fine brushes, so it's interesting how it will develop further. I go with the flow and follow my interests.It would be quite nice if you painted the façade of some house, but with your current experience and vision.Yes, I have thought of that.If a listener has a façade available for this purpose, let us know.Sure!You'd be willing to do that?Yes, maybe I would.Okay. You have projects where you create posters for summer concerts. You also create illustrations for the New York Magazine. It's clear that the budget and provisions are not the same in both cases. Tell me about the balance between these two projects, where you earn something or create things for different reasons. What's your inner motivation? Why do you do one and the other?As you said, these motivations can vary. There always are three main motivations, namely, financial – the size of budget, then how interesting the project will be – easy, difficult, cool, fun or boring to do, and then the client – their brand, name, how easy or difficult it will be to collaborate, other obstacles. After weighing out this combination, I make a decision on each collaboration. When it comes to collaborations that aren't motivated by the financial aspect and the client's name, such criteria as friendship with the client plays a big role, as it was in the case of concert posters. Or I just know that it will be very cool to work on the specific project because of the huge creative freedom. Besides, I will really like the end-result. You don't say “No” to small, interesting projects.Yes, exactly.Is it different working for global clients? Do they work with a different attitude and implement different processes that we can apply here, in Riga? Or is the world small and everyone works in the same way?There are global clients who work with illustrators a lot, for example, the media. It's the daily life for them. New York Times, I believe, publishes illustrations every day. It's simple with them. They know what to expect from you and you from them. The critique is quick and constructive, and the deadlines are very short.What is a short deadline? Hours, days, weeks?Usually a few days. Once it was one day. From working with illustrators, they've realized that some illustrators work quicker, some slower. No one has asked me to create something in 3 hours, because they see I wouldn't be able to do that, so I don't get such requests. I have had a two-day deadline, which was very stressful for me.I read you're currently studying the drawings of medieval monks.Yes, that's what excites me at the moment. It's the case when your interests from outside the art world also takes the artistic and creative side there. I'm interested in Christianity, mainly traditional Christianity lately. It has a very rich art history. I'm also interested in history. The more I research it, the more my visual side follows course.What would you like to see more of in contemporary illustrations? What would you like to see less of?More personal approach to the visual side and less following trends. Trends are cool and you can get inspired by them and you should get inspired by them to an extent in order to be current. However, there has to be a good balance with a big touch of personality. If not personality, then something that the artist is really good at. I would like to see a more individual approach, and not being afraid of analogue techniques. I, for example, do paintings. My favourite artists, who I follow, are often the ones who work with hands, and it's not on purpose. I just find the aesthetics so interesting. There's this British girl who creates all her illustrations with linocuts. It adds the texture, the liveliness. Her style is quite peculiar. At first it seems very specific. Namely, who would want to pay for this? It's like liquorice. Not everyone likes liquorice, but some do. Since the internet allows us to work with clients worldwide, we can find a lot of people who love liquorice. It's okay, if we can't find that many locally. That adds personality and character to such works. Those are the artists I follow. For example, there's an artist in South Korea who draws everything with coloured pencils. He draws in realism, but it turns out really cool.

Welcome to the first episode of the new year. We wanted to get these to you sooner but to be honest we didn't want you to forget to listen and watch during the holidays. With that being said, we start it off right, with former Green Beret, TV Star (The Selection) and practitioner of all things combat and combative, Mr. Donnie Bowen of Bowen Combative Arts Academy. From knife fighting to ground fighting he does it. When I first saw Donnie walk into Leatherwood Distillery for his recording, I instantly had the worse feeling in my bones and muscles. Why? Well Donnie is that guy that when you first started out and you believed the hype around Boyd Belts and then learned that the smaller guy in the gym could chew you up and down the mat and spit you up and down the mat. Pretty soon you had your belt around your neck and woven between your toes and you just slapped hands. I say all this to say we had a truly great time talking with Donnie. No, we didn't spend a ton of time on his career in the military but more time as a career father and what martial arts means to raising kids and discipline (I feel sorry for the kids that tried to bully his kids in school) He truly is what we need in America today when it comes to raising youth. And yes, sometimes that is an old fashion ass whooping on the mats. Sometimes it's okay to hit something, an idea so many Americans have never experienced. So pumped to bring this to you. Hope you all enjoy. Thank you to our Cost Host and PREMIER SPONSOR of this episode Andy Lang of Leatherwood Distillery. Please go support Donnie not only his gym and pages but more importantly his nonprofit.

Join environmental artist Claire Giordano in the field as she teaches plein air painting in stunning landscapes like alpine lakes, old growth forests, beneath sandstone cliffs, oceanside, and glaciers. While Claire loves sharing the fun and beauty of experiencing these places through her virtual course, The Adventure Art Academy, there's an intention behind the class that is more than meets the eye. As an artist, writer, and educator, Claire strives to creatively explore the interwoven patterns of people, place, and climate change. She sees creating art as a gateway to truly seeing and experiencing landscape - in particular, identifying the effects of climate change. Claire also sees it as a way to let go and experiment, which we don't often get to experience in our daily lives. In this episode, Claire shares the motivations behind starting this class, her philosophy of infusing adventure into the day-to-day, and takes us with her into the backcountry.Enjoy listening?

One of the things we tend to forget the most about archviz, is that it is a service industry, and managing people – whether it's clients or teams, is a pretty important part of what we do. At the core of this, there's always smooth communication. But how should we manage the expectations of our clients, and how do we build a positive dynamic with internal and external teams?I've asked these questions and much more to Anna Perela, chartered Architect and Head of Planning at Cityscape Digital in London. Her role at Cityscape Digital has many facets, as not only she coordinates internal production teams, mentors people, and maintains standard working practices, but she also liaises with clients, designers, and helps to solve issues that may surface during the cooperation.In this episode, we go through her background and the self-reflection process that lead her to embrace the managing side of our industry a what is it like to be a Head of Planning. We also discuss architectural competitions as opposed to real estate projects, how smaller teams could implement sustainable practices for growth and management, and much more.More about Anna:Anna Perela is a Chartered Architect and Head of Planning at Cityscape Digital in London. She has more than 15 years experience as a Visualisation Artist and Architectural Photographer.She studied Architecture at the National Technical University of Athens. The need to convey and present her ideas, led her to arch-viz, through abstract illustrations, 2d drawings and renderings. In the meantime she had developed a passion for photography, experimenting with various techniques and formats. After graduating from university, she enrolled in the State of Art Academy, to further advance her skills in Architectural Visualisation. She had been working as a project Architect and Visualiser for more than 5 years in Greece, prior to moving to London to pursue more career opportunities.She worked at Squint/Opera for 3 years as a Senior 3d Artist. There, surrounded by like-minded people and inspiring artists, she had the chance to get actively involved with every stage of the visualisation process: image planning, 3d modelling, rendering and post-production, and experiment with versatile visual styles.After years leading high profile projects for Museums, competitions and master plans, she joined Cityscape Digital in 2018 as a Senior Visualiser.She is currently managing the Planning Department, which consists of more than 20 Artists, Photographers, Technicians and Producers.

In Sweden, a student group called «Brown Island» feels the presence of a majority of middle class, white students is «problematic». Its members are also traumatized by the name of the exhibition space at The Art Academy. As it turns out, the white walls of «The White Sea» are soaked in racism (a lot of white people have been in the room throughout the years). A «sin of the skin» easily proven by swapping empiricism, reason and rational arguments for emotional and subjective interpretations. In Denmark, a group lead by a professor threw a cast of a former king in the harbour, protesting past slave trade. Though fired from her job, the professor is supported by art world representatives. To understand this phenomenon, Jan-Ove Tuv turns to Catherine Nixey´s book «The Darkening Age. The Christian Destruction of The Classical World». What began as «political activism» gradually turned into state politics, and the destruction of culture. If we do not push back, we are indeed (re)entering a darkening age. Do you have tips of culture news Tuv should cover? Or can you recommend sites, media (etc) he should follow to be informed of the culture field?

Today I'm interviewing Santiago Sanchez from Tresde ArchViz Studio in Ecuador. In this session we talk about his journey, starting out as an industrial designer as he was looking for a creative outlet, becoming self-employed after a bad work experience, and how being inspired by Alex Roman led him into the State of Art Academy Master Class. After that, things took a new speed with the Best Of Week pick on the blog, and he reconnected with his DNA from home to become more of a teacher of ArchViz these days. We'll also dive into the process of making the METEORA project, which is featured on the blog here. The Industrial Designer Santiago studied industrial design at university because he was looking for something related to design. The design degree concept was completely new in Ecuador at the time, and he was drawn to it. He knew that the creativity he had felt since childhood couldn't be applied as well in any other field as it would be in the design field. After a bad experience with an employer, he decided to go on his own and turn his attention to architectural visualization, and once he saw Alex Roman's short film The Third & The Seventh there was no turning back. The Journey to Improvement Santiago may not call himself a perfectionist, but after opening his own office, he set his standards very high. When comparing his work to images that were being created around the world, he knew when his work wasn't good enough. That's when he decided to attend a Master Class at State of Art Academy in Italy. He was present at the first International SOA Master Class, and calls the experience “absolutely great.” It was there that he learned that approach and philosophy are the keys, and that everything else is just a tool. Winning the Image of the Week was the ‘Beginning of Everything' After winning Image of the Week in July 2012 with “Vanilla Room”, Santiago says everyone began to love his work, and his website exploded. The exposure he had on the forum was a complete turning point for him, and the momentum still hasn't stopped. Today, his studio is as busy as ever, and Santiago is teaching even more than he is creating projects. He has created a post-production training and a Corona Renderer training, both of which are available online, and he shares his philosophy on the amount of work that he believes students should be doing in each. All about the Making of METEORA Santiago has been showcased on the blog three times, with the most popular images being METEORA. In our conversation, we dig deep into the process of making of these images, how Santiago did what he did, and what he learned along the way. Discover all this and more, on this session of The SpectRoom with Santiago Sanchez. Key Takeaways [1:15] How Santiago came into the ArchViz business.

In this session, we discuss the transformation Peter Guthrie and Henry Goss made from practicing architecture alone, to joining forces to form one of the most interesting and fastest growing ArchViz studios in London today. These two have created a total powerhouse, and they're here to share the story of their success. Here's just a bit of what you can expect on this session of The SpectRoom. Creating The Boundary Peter and Henry share the driving reasons and goals behind their decision to join forces and create The Boundary. From friends to business partners, as their individual capacities increased they decided to raise their game and share the burden of their work together. Although they just call it the next logical step, the results have been incredible. Current Projects and What's in (their) Store Despite detouring from traditional architecture, Henry and Peter are more involved in architecture and design than ever before. They've been working with their heroes on fundamental design details from an early stage, including Peter Zumthor on the Los Angeles County Museum of Art.We put Corona Renderer up against VRay, discuss animations and VR deliverables, and examine what it means at The Boundary to be a project manager, 3D artist, or project visualizer. We also chat about The Boundary Store, which they've set up to help people gain access to their scenes. The store is evolving to become a place where people will go to find the top brand, top-quality images.
