Wizards of the Coast and Magic: the Gathering have been embracing diversity in fantasy storytelling. With a beautifully adapted Lord of the Rings set that was released earlier in 2023 and The Lost Caverns of Ixalan set, it's a beautiful time to see yourself represented in fantasy in ways that haven't been present before. This month, Magic the Gathering released a stellar Mesoamerican-inspired The Lost Caverns of Ixalan that brought to life gods, places, and the dinosaurs of the Yucatan and reimagined conquistadores as vampires. The set was immediately recognizable as one of the sharpest and most informed explorations of Mesoamerican myth and beauty in fantasy. To talk about this, we spoke with Art Director Ovidio Cartagena about The Lost Caverns of Ixalan, the cards' art inspiration, working with historians, and what it means to represent Latin America in one of the most notable Fantasy franchises in pop culture.

In episode 9 of "There Is No System," titled "The Artist's Dilemma: Expressing Beliefs through Creativity" host Brian Behm, an Austin-based motion designer, artist, musician, and Art Director at Emergent Order Foundation, delves into the intricate balance between artistic creativity and personal ideologies. Drawing from his experiences in the art world and as the art department head at Rooster Teeth, Brian reflects on the constant mental tug-of-war between one's artistic soul and ideological brain.This episode unpacks the inherent struggle in creating art that genuinely reflects personal beliefs without succumbing to societal pressures or ideological tribes. It discusses the challenges faced by artists who straddle different viewpoints, especially those leaning towards classical liberalism or other non-dominant ideologies. Brian emphasizes the importance of fostering a marketplace of ideas, advocating for a creative expression that's not bound by a single narrative or ideology.Exploring concepts like intersectionality and epistemic humility, Brian proposes recontextualizing these ideas to enhance artistic expression. He shares his journey of balancing risk-taking in art with personal and familial considerations, illustrating the tightrope walk between daring creativity and societal acceptance.The episode aims to empower artists to embrace their unique blend of creativity and personal beliefs, encouraging them to stir the pot of conventional artistic expression. Brian's goal is to ignite a dialogue about the role of gatekeeping in the arts and its impact on creative freedom, urging listeners to reflect on their own artistic journeys and the influences shaping them.Written and performed by Brian Behm Original Music (unless noted) by Brian Behm/No_System Stock Music provided through AudiiioMusic Included In This EpisodeQue Parks - Unlock (Get Ready For It)(Instrumental)Adi Goldstein - Inspiring Heights (Pt.2)(Instrumental)Adi Goldstein - Morning Spring (Instrumental)Adi Goldstein - Magic Hour (Instrumental)(Loop)Adi Goldstein - Safe Ride Home (vers 1)Beach Tiger - Numb (Instrumental)Liam Back - Innocence (Instrumental)Rhodan - Bloom (Instrumental)The Purple Kite - It's Time To Start Something New (Instrumental)The Prams - Now That We're Far (Instrumental)Yair Cohen - Haze (Instrumental)-- clips used or referencedThe Crow Hill Company: Make Music, YOUR Music.https://youtu.be/D7tCNqmp6f0?si=WfqJeRkMZlgEKWV1Death of a Salesman Trailerhttps://youtu.be/zsJhonpcetk?si=vEtCArr5Ao4D-Ub6Cars Sink Through Ice on Lake Pepinhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=suwAK7y0QdcTruck Falls Through Ice on Lake Hanska in Southern Minnesotahttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cOvCRMHWBokHarvard, Hamas, and the Barbaric Death Of Discourse In The Westhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6noX5AUuzwU&t=1sThe Walkhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GR1EmTKAWIwMan on Wirehttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Cz6oddi0mts—- Take a look at No_System's apparel and accessories at nosysknows.com ——- Transcripts available at nosysknows.com/podcast ——-Please like and review on your favorite podcast platform of choice.

Hey Alter – das Thema im Denkraum Deutschland Auf einen Hinweis von Tamara Dietl wurde ich von Miro Craemer für zwei Tage in den Denkraum Deutschland 2023 eingeladen. Kein Wunder, ging es doch vom 14.10. – 22.10. in der Pinakothek der Modernen in München um das Thema „Hey Alter“. Mit unserem Podcast „gelassen älter werden“ gehörten wir quasi 2 Tage zur Ausstellung. Welch ein Erlebnis. Ich durfte viele Menschen kennenlernen, Künstlerinnen und Künstler, Beteiligte an den Talkrunden und natürlich Besucherinnen und Besucher. Entstanden sind in den 2 Tagen 3 Podcastepisoden, die wir hier nach und nach verlinken werden. Dazu etwas ganz Neues, eine Art Feature zum Denkraum Deutschland „Hey Alter“, also vielleicht ein kleines Audiokunstwert oder eine Art Audioeventdokumentation. Entscheidet einfach für euch selbst. Als Einstieg empfiehlt sich die eigene Episode mit Miro Craemer „Denkraum Deutschland – Hey Alter“. Hier geht's lang! Dazu wird es eine Episode mit Jonas geben, der unseren Hörerinnen und Hörern sein Konzept von Jonas fragt, vorstellt. Er möchte als junger Mann, die Lebenserfahrungen alter Menschen und die damit verbundenen Weisheiten, gerne an junge Menschen weitergeben. Dazu nimmt er Interviews auf und verbreitet sie auf Instagram. Ein sehr schönes Format, also gerne einmal anschauen. Und es wird einen Podcast mit Tamara Dietl geben. Sie war beteiligt am Talk „Alter – eine Krise“ und ich spreche mit ihr über Vorbilder ihres Lebens, die zu einem gelingenden Leben beitragen. Grundlage dafür sind bestimmte Charaktereigenschaften, die besonders eng mit Zufriedenheit im Leben verknüpft sind. Dazu gehören z.B. Neugier, Dankbarkeit, Hoffnung. Wer sind ihre Vorbilder zu diesen Eigenschaften und wie wirken sie sich positiv auf ihr Leben aus. Ein lebendiges und intensives Gespräch. Und in dieser Episode nehme ich sie mit, in meine Erlebnisse an 2 Tagen Denkraum Deutschland. Folgendes ist zu hören: · Fahrt nach München und ankommen in der Großstadt · Miro Craemer erklärt das Konzept · Ich spreche mit Jonas zu Jonas fragt · Besucher Emanuel · Ich spreche mit Fotograf – Fine Art Analog – Karl Heinz Rothenberger, 1945 · Besucher Nina und Niklas · Ich spreche mit Wolfgang Flatz, 1952 · Ich spreche mit Tamara Dietl, 1964 · Heimweg Hier finden sie weitere Hinweise zu den Künstlern aus den Interviews: Zur Biografie von Miro Craemer, 1969 Zitiert von https://www.glockenbachbiennale.com/team Miro Craemer studierte Theaterwissenschaft, Psycholinguistik und Literatur an der Ludwig-Maximilians-Universität in München, bevor er 15 Jahre als Art Director für diverse Modelabels tätig war. Seit 2007 arbeitet er ausschließlich als freier Künstler in den Bereichen Textil, Performance und multimediale Installation und fungiert dabei gleichzeitig als Kunstvermittler und Kurator. Einem „Erweiterten Kunstbegriff“ folgend, erforscht er in zumeist interdisziplinären Projekten das integrative und soziale Potenzial von Kunst, teilweise auch im öffentlichen Raum. Unter den Projekten sind zu nennen: „Togetthere_fACTory“ (Pinakothek der Moderne, München, 2016) „Cord of Desires“ (Karachi, Augsburg, Wien, 2016/17), „OVERxCOME“ (Karachi, München2017), „Vigor“ (München, 2021) und „Chapel of Connectedness“ (Augsburg, 2021). Miro Craemer nahm an zahlreichen nationalen und internationalen Ausstellungen teil, u. a. an der Karachi Biennale 2017, der Lahore Biennale 2018, den „Personal Structures“ (Performance „Cosmosoluna“) in Venedig 2019, im Staatlichen Textil- und Industriemuseum Augsburg 2020/21, im Buchheim Museum, Bernried, 2021/22, und zuletzt im KOENIGmuseum, Landshut, 2022. Seit 2019 realisiert er für die Pinakothek der Moderne den „Denkraum Deutschland“, ein diskursives Ausstellungs- und Kunstvermittlungsformat zu gesellschaftlichen Themen, das 2021 mit dem Art Museum Award der European Museum Academy ausgezeichnet wurde. Das seit 2020 erscheinende Magazin „MAG – Museum und gesellschaftlicher Wandel“ verfolgt den bewusst niederschwelligen Zugang zu Kunst und Kultur. Seit 2020 leitet er den Kunstraum „mim | Raum für Kultur“ in München mit einem explizit lokal ausgerichteten Programm an der Schnittstelle von Kunst und Design. 2022 initiierte er die GLOCKENBACH BIENNALE. Hinweise zu Karl Heinz Rothenberger von seiner Homepage: K.H. Rothenberger wurde 1945 in Landshut geboren und studierte Medizin in München und Zürich. Nach Assistenzarztjahren in der Inneren Medizin und Chirurgie wendete er sich der Urologie zu. Nach fundierter Facharztausbildung konzentrierte er sich als Oberarzt vermehrt auf operative Techniken und wissenschaftliche Forschung, z.B. der damals brandneuen Lasertechnik. 1983 kehrte er als Chefarzt in seine Heimatstadt zurück und gründete die Urologische Klinik. Parallel dazu widmete sich Rothenberger schon früh der Fotografie, so beteiligte er sich bereits 1967 mit 2 Arbeiten an der Ausstellung des Deutschen Jugendfotowettbewerbs in Düsseldorf. Inzwischen hat sich der Künstler und Arzt ganz auf die SchwarzWeiss-Fotographie in analoger Kleinbildtechnik fokussiert. Früher kamen Spiegelreflexkameras zum Einsatz, jetzt hat die Leica M7 Priorität. „Subjektiv durch das Objektiv“, „gesehen mit den Augen des Fotografen“ sind frühe Programmpunkte im Schaffen Rothenbergers. Sie beinhalten auch die Wahrhaftigkeit in der Fotografie, die nachträgliche Manipulation des einmal festgehaltenen Augenblicks wird abgelehnt. In der Regel unterbleiben selbst Ausschnittvergrößerungen, sichtbar am demonstrativen Leica-Rahmen. Die Sichtweise Rothenbergers ist neugierig und interessiert, aber auch einfühlend und wohlwollend, nie verletzend und indiskret. Neben industriellen & handwerklichen Arbeiten steht die Darstellung der menschlichen Persönlichkeit und landschaftliche Formen in der Themenliste obenauf, gesehen in Einzelausstellungen von Wien über München, Berlin bis Algund/Italien und Herrmannstadt/Rumänien, sowie einer Gruppenausstellung in Hamburg. Acht Kalender, sieben Bücher sowie Zeitschriftenbeiträge runden den Arbeitskatalog ab. Zur Biografie von Wolfgang Flatz, 1952 Zitiert von seiner Homepage: „Vielleicht bedeutet „hören“ etwas ganz anderes für jemanden, der als zehnjähriger Hirtenjunge allein auf der Alm miterlebt, wie alte 156 ihm anvertrauten Rinder nach einem Blitzeinschlag in der Blockhütte bei lebendigem Leib verbrennen. Und der in diesem unbeschreiblichen Gebrüll noch deutlich die Stimme des mitgefangenen Schäferhundes vernimmt. Dass (Wolfgang) FLATZ seine Kindheit als hart bezeichnet, liegt aber keineswegs an diesem Ereignis. Der Sohn eines Eisenbahnschlossers hatte als Mitglied einer Familie aus der Unterschicht nicht nur unter dem sozialen Druck zu leiden, sondern auch unter seinem Vater – und als sensibler Mensch unter der geistigen Dumpfheit des ruralen Vorarlberger Umfelds, in welchem er aufwuchs. Der Weg zur Kunst war insofern nicht nur ein metaphorischer Akt der Befreiung- Das gestalterische Talent, das während seiner Goldschmiedelehre zum Vorschein kam, verhalf FLATZ zu einem Stipendium in Deutschland. „Emigration“ hat er seine Entscheidung, Österreich zu verlassen, genannt, und die heutige politische Entwicklung, die ja nicht aus dem Nichts entstanden ist, gibt ihm auch in der Wortwahl erschreckend Recht. Das war 1974, und seine ersten öffentlichen Auftritte hatten FLATZ bereits eine kurzfristige Unterbringung in einer geschlossenen psychiatrischen Anstalt eingebracht (nebst der Androhung, es im Wiederholungsfall nicht unter einem halben Jahr bewenden zu lassen). In München, wo er bis heute wohnhaft geblieben ist, studierte er Kunstgeschichte an der Universität und Malerei an der Akademie. Und stellte fest, dass die Mittel der „klassischen“ Bildenden Kunst seinem Mitteilungsbedürfnis nicht entsprachen, weil sie sein Lebens-, Körper- und Kunstgefühl nicht trafen. Das ist für FLATZ nicht voneinander trennbar, und so suchte er sich seine genuine Ausdrucksweise – die Performance, als der Begriff noch gar nicht kanonisiert war. Dies geschah erst, indem er auf die documenta 1977 eingeladen wurde, wo er einiges seiner späteren Konzepte vorwegnahm: eine Flugblattaktion mit der Mitteilung „FLATZ nimmt an der dokumenta 6 nicht teil“. Abwesenheit ist eine radikale Form der Präsenz: ein Fehlen. Noch radikaler ist FLATZ‘ Art des Auftretens, des Daseins. In Handtücher eingenäht auf einer öffentlichen Toilette, damit man sich an ihm abtrocknet. Nackt als Zielobjekt für Dartpfeile. Oder zwischen Stahlplatten bis zur Bewusstlosigkeit hin- und hergeschlagen als Glockenklöppel zu den Klängen eines Wiener Walzers. Demontagen nannte FLATZ die Reihe seiner Aktionen von 1986 bis 1991, zu denen die letztgenannte in der Synagoge zu Tiflis gehörte, und stets spielte Musik in ihnen eine zentrale Rolle. Für FLATZ war die CAGEsche Gleichberechtigung aller Laute eine Selbstverständlichkeit, der Kontrast von klassischem Wohlklang und den Geräuschen der jeweiligen Aktion machte die „Komposition“ erst aus, als Metapher für sein Verständnis von Kunst, die alles andere als ein ästhetischer Zufluchtsort sein soll. 1994 wurde FLATZ zum Mekka der Avantgarde, den Donaueschinger Musiktagen, eingeladen. Zwei Jahre zuvor fiel er in einem anderen Mekka für Gegenwartskunst auf: der IX. documenta in Kassel. Mit seinen berühmt gewordenen, von der Decke hängenden schwarzen Sandsäcken versperrte er den Zugang, so dass man sich durchboxen musste – und mit jedem Stoß automatisch die Mitbesucher beeinträchtigte, durch deren Bewegung wiederum der eigene Weg versperrt wurde… Das war eine der ersten „Physical Sculptures“, zu denen die Tätowierung auf FLATZ‘ Rücken ebenso gehört wie der speziell angefertigte schwarz-rot-goldene Porsche mit dem Wiener Nummernschild W-FLATZ 2. Oder der beinahe verbotene Brecht-Abend, bei dem ein (toter) Schimmel auf der Bühne gehäutet wurde, während eine anfangs nackte Sopranistin in weiß eingekleidet wurde. Womit wir wieder bei der Musik wären, die als akustisches und somit physikalisches Phänomen ein ideales Material für FLATZ darstellte: unmittelbar, emotional, mediengerecht (was noch lange nicht angepasst heißt) und vor allem: lebendig, jung. Mit einer Stimme, die eine Skulptur für sich ist, lag es nahe, dass er immer öfter prominentere Angebote erhielt, als Gastsänger eine Platte aufzunehmen. Die Anfragen fielen insofern auf fruchtbaren Boden, als FLATZ, vom Gedanken angeregt, den Schwerpunkt seines Schaffens immer mehr auf die Musik verschob. Und seine künstlerische Unabhängigkeit wahrte: 1998 präsentierte er seine erste Vinyl mit dem Titel „Physical Sculpture“. Donaueschingen und Pop, Was für viele unvereinbar erscheint, ist für FLATZ nie ein Widerspruch gewesen, in keiner Facette seines Schaffens. Als Künstler will er Menschen erreichen, und zwar nicht nur ein paar Akademiker. Das Elitäre ist seine Sache nie gewesen, und so hat er immer nach Ausdrucksformen gesucht, die auch verstanden werden: nach der adäquaten Sprache für das jeweilige Thema. FLATZ ist deshalb nicht nur ein Pionier der Performance-Kunst geworden, sondern auch des Crossover (als man das bestenfalls für eine verbotene Art hielt, die Straße zu überqueren). Nach dem Erfolg der Vinyl kamen Angebote großer Labels. FLATZ‘ Entscheidung fiel auf Sony/Epic und Karl Bartos als Komponist/Produzent. Für seine früheren Experimente mit elektronischer Musik mit KRAFTWERK bekannt, war er der ideale Partner, um zu den FLATZschen Texten (und nach seinen Vorstellungen bezüglich des Charakters jedes Songs) die Musik für den Computer zu komponieren, die von Toy Productions London (Depeche Mode, Bjork, u.v.m.) produziert und gemischt wurden. Halt FLATZ – ganz ohne Körper? Ohne Instrument? „Der Computer ist das Instrument der Zukunft“ sagte er, „und auch das demokratischste, weil es jedem zugänglich ist“. Er, der Anfang der 80er mit der Band „Clerico“ auf Festivals auftrat (am selbstgebauten Bass, auch so eine Skulptur), sieht er keinen Grund, puristisch zu sein. „Akustisch erzeugte Musik ist ein Relikt, wie die Oper“ – und für nostalgische Anachronismen hat FLATZ nichts übrig. Pop-Musik ist für ihn als junges, authentisches Ausdrucksmittel relevant. Das ungenierte Physische des Techno ohne seine Monotonie, die Open-Air-Atmosphäre der späten 70er ohne naive Betulichkeit, die soziale Aggressivität des Punk und die Aufbruchstimmung der ursprünglichen Neuen Deutschen Welle zusammenzuführen – so in etwa kann man FLATZ‘ neues Projekt umschreiben. Oder: Eine mediale Skulptur, die ihre Botschaft gleichzeitig an Emotion und Intellekt richtet. Denn eines ist der vielseitige FLATZ nie gewesen: ein Künstler des l'art pour l'art. Seine Aktionen beziehen sich immer auf den Menschen und die Gesellschaft, stellen Strukturen in Frage, zeigen oft die Ambivalenz der Gefühle in Bezug auf Gewalt, Konsum und Gesellschaft. Das ist FLATZ‘ künstlerisches Erbe zu Lebzeiten, und bei aller Vorsicht mit derartigen Prognosen – zu den wenigen Kulturerzeugnissen aus den 80ern, die eine reelle Chance haben, noch in hundert Jahren präsent zu sein, gehört die deutschlandfahnenfarbende Postkarte mit der Aufschrift FRESSEN/FICKEN/FERNSEHEN. Dieses Motto hat er auf der neuen Platte übrigens auch vertont, neben zwei Neuver-sionen der schon bekannten „Ich“ und „Virus“ sowie neun weitere Tracks. Direkte, suggestive Lieder, in denen FLATZ den Text kompromisslos, repetitiv, eindringlich artikuliert, während die Musik – völlig gleichberechtigt – mit hartem Rhythmus und präzisen Effekten den Hörer völlig in ihren Bann zieht. Lebendige, laut zu hörende Musik, die aufrüttelt, weil sie destruktiv und aufmunternd zugleich ist, weil in ihr Aggression und Zärtlichkeit (überraschend sanft: das balladeske „Wunderkind“) ganz nah beieinanderliegen. Diese Spannung erzeugt Energie. jene Energie, die für FLATZ‘ gesamtes Schaffen charakteristisch ist, und die das ausmacht, was wir Leben nennen“ Text: Axel Sanjos Zur Biografie von Tamara Dietl, 1964 Zitiert von ihrer Homepage: Krise ist... ...ein produktiver Zustand“, hat Max Frisch einmal gesagt, „man muss ihr nur den Beigeschmack der Katastrophe nehmen.“ Das fällt angesichts der Corona-Krise unendlich schwer. Und doch hat Max Frisch Recht. Damit wir Krisen produktiv nutzen und sie kraftvoll meistern können, ist es wichtig zu verstehen, was eine Krise eigentlich ist. Denn sie ist weit mehr als ein unüberwindbar scheinendes Problem. Eine Krise ist ein Ausnahmezustand, eine Unter­brechung der Kontinuität. Sie ist ein belastender, temporärer, in seinem Verlauf und seinen Folgen offener Veränderungsprozess. Eine Krise ist dadurch gekennzeichnet, dass die vertrauten Bewältigungs­strategien, die wir bisher für das Lösen von Problemen parat hatten und die uns immer weitergeholfen haben, jetzt nicht mehr zur Verfügung stehen. Jedem Menschen, jeder Gemeinschaft und jeder Gesellschaft ist es immer wieder möglich, neue Bewältigungs­strategien zu entwickeln und neue Ressourcen zu entdecken. Bewältigungsstrategien und Ressourcen, die uns stark machen können. Natürlich noch nicht in der ersten Phase einer Krise, die dadurch gekennzeichnet ist, dass wir unter Schock stehen und die Krise nicht wahrhaben wollen. In dieser Phase gilt es, die Schock­starre zu überwinden und die Krise langsam anzunehmen. Denn sie ist da – ob wir wollen oder nicht. In dem Moment, wo wir sie in unser Leben zu integrieren, kann es durchaus sinnvoll sein, das Beste aus ihr zu machen. Denn wir sind auf der Welt, um unserem Leben Sinn geben – auch in Krisenzeiten. Oder vielleicht gerade dann besonders intensiv. Der Anspruch, dass das Leben uns etwas zu bieten hätte, der Anspruch, dass es einen Garantie­schein auf ein sicheres, gesundes, ja glückliches Leben gibt - dieser Anspruch ist in Wahrheit ganz schön verdreht. Die Perspektive ist nämlich genau andersherum. Die Unsicherheit ist der Normalfall. Und zwar immer. Nicht nur in der Krise. In Phasen aber, die über einen langen Zeitraum (relativ) stabil sind, bilden wir uns ein, wir seien sicher und unser schönes Leben würde immer so weitergehen. Doch das ist in Wahrheit eine Illusion. Viktor Frankl, nach dessen Sinn-Theorie ich eine Zusatz­ausbildung zum Krisencoach gemacht habe, hat gesagt: „Das Leben selbst ist es, das dem Menschen Fragen stellt. Er hat nicht zu fragen, er ist vielmehr der vom Leben her Befragte, der dem Leben zu antworten – das Leben zu ver-antworten hat.“ Das zutiefst Befriedigende an dieser Form der Eigenverantwortung dem Leben gegenüber ist die Selbstbestimmtheit, die mit ihr einhergeht, und die gerade in Krisen elementar wichtig ist. Denn diese Selbst­bestimmtheit macht frei. Auch den Begriff der Freiheit hat Frankl so definiert, dass er uns gerade in Krisen wirklich weiterhelfen kann. Denn: „Die Freiheit des Menschen ist selbstverständlich nicht eine Freiheit von Bedingungen“, sagt Frankl. „Sie ist überhaupt nicht eine Freiheit von etwas, sondern eine Freiheit zu etwas, nämlich die Freiheit zu einer Stellungnahme gegenüber all den Bedingungen.“ In dieser Freiheit „zu etwas“ liegt der Schlüssel zum sinnvollen Umgang mit Krisen. Auch der jetzigen Corona-Krise. Wie wollen wir uns zu dieser Krise stellen? Wir als Individuen? Aber auch wir als Gemeinschaft? Es gibt drei Möglichkeiten, aus einer Krise hervorzugehen: Erstens die Wiederherstellung des alten Gleichgewichts. Zweitens eine negative Veränderung, die eine Fehlentwicklung zur Folge hat. Und drittens eine positive Veränderung, die durch eine sinnvolle Weiterentwicklung gekennzeichnet ist. In all meinen Krisen habe ich mich immer für diese dritte Möglichkeit entschieden: die Kraft in mir zu entdecken, die mir hilft an der Krise zu wachsen. Welche Haltung es dafür braucht und welche emotionalen und mentalen Werkzeuge wir dafür trainieren müssen – davon handelt mein Buch. Hier habe ich beschrieben, welche Mechanismen wir brauchen, um die Chance und den Sinn in der Krise zu entdecken. Denn nur so können wir sie in einen produktiven Zustand verwandeln und ihr damit den Beigeschmack der Katastrophe zu nehmen.

Türkiye'de doğdum ve büyüdüm, Marmara Üniversitesi Güzel Sanatlar Fakültesi Grafik Tasarım Bölümü'nden mezun oldum ve 2010 yılında reklam sektöründe sanat yönetmeni olarak kariyerime başladım. 2016 yılında eşim Zeynep'le cesur bir karar alıp, yaratıcı sınırlarımızı genişletebilmek adına İngiltereye taşındık. Birçok ajansta tam zamanlı ve freelance olarak sanat yönetmenliği yaptım. Şu anda, sanat yönetmenliği kariyerimi freelance olarak sürdürürken, son 3 yıldır Crypto Art dünyasında da önemli bir yer edindim. Eserlerime yoğun ilgi gösterilmesiyle birlikte, işlerim New York, Miami, Lizbon ve Londra'da sergilendi ve aynı şehirlerde düzenlenen karma sergilere katıldım. Kısa sürede birçok büyük koleksiyonerin radarına girdim. En sonunda da Ağustos başında Londra'da gerçekleşen ilk kişisel sergimi Frameless dijital sanat galerisinde açtım.

172: Healing Masculinity, Sexual Liberation, and Family Reconciliation with Tantra from VICE star Shaft Uddin Quote: “There is so little education around sexual wellness, sexual education. No one really knows how to say no when it comes to... some kind of intimacy; but also, no one really knows how to say yes.” – Shaft Uddin Summary: I met our next guest, Shaft Uddin, at a global event. He had so much "taboo" sacred sexuality knowledge to share during our juicy chat. You see…Shaft is a tantra practitioner and healer. During our conversation, he introduces some eye-opening topics. So, this episode definitely is NSFK (not safe for kids) or NSFW (not safe for work).  We'll touch on everything from sexual healing and liberation to making peace with family and embracing masculinity through appreciation of the feminine. Shaft even explains why understanding and healing our bodies, particularly through sacred sexuality, is so crucial. And, of course, he gets personal and tells ALL about his own journey. In this episode we talk about… Struggling with his masculinity as a result of a challenging relationship with his father. Reconciliation with his parents and facilitating healing for himself, his father, and the entire family unit. What is sacred sexuality, and how do we reclaim it in our lives and in our relationships. The fundamentals of tantra and how it relates to sexual liberation, pleasure, and healing. The courage and bravery required to break free from societal norms and judgments in pursuit of one's authentic self.   Bio: As a young adult, Shaft Uddin's life was one of hedonism and excess. He went from being the son of a working-class immigrant, to being a super-successful Art Director in advertising, working for some of the biggest brands on the planet: A classic rags-to-riches story.   And yet, Shaft was living a double life fuelled by alcohol and drug addiction. He was the picture of success, but beneath the surface he suffered from repeated broken relationships, depression and self-hatred. It wasn't until Shaft had several near-death experiences and alienated most of his friends, that he realized things had to change.   Intuitively, Shaft turned to alternative therapies, meditation, plant medicines and tantra. In under two years, he was free of my addictions and had learned the power of self-love. Dedicated to helping people reconnect with their hearts and find deeper connections, productivity in the workplace, and more meaningful relationships, Shaft serves as a trauma release therapist, tantric practitioner, coach, and speaker.

The Emotional Rollercoaster of Entrepreneurship: "Many times you feel the high highs of the mountains and the low lows of the valley minutes, in between each other, days in between each other." — Rob Jelinski  I had the pleasure of having Rob Jelinski as a guest on this episode of Creative Chats podcast, where we discussed taking risks, embracing opportunities, and the power of mentorship in the creative industry. With 20 years of creative entrepreneurship, Rob brings a wealth of expertise (strategy, branding, marketing, & design) as he leads his award-winning, family of brands which encompasses Infinite Design Agency, Think Art Director, and more. Here are some key takeaways from the episode:

Mike Dempsey has been a practising graphic designer since 1964. From the late sixties he worked as an Art Director for two leading British publishing houses. In 1979 he founded the design consultancy Carroll & Dempsey, which later became CDT Design Ltd. His work has earned him many awards and in 2012 he was presented with a special Black Pencil for the most awarded designer in D&AD's 50-year history.  He's acted as Design Advisor to the Department of Culture Media & Sport, was appointed consultant Art Director by the Royal Mail to create the two-year Millennium stamp programme and was the Art Director of the Royal Society of Arts Journal from 1997 to 2002. He's written features for Eye Magazine, Design Week, Creative Review, The Times and many more. He was made a Royal Designer for Industry in 1994 and was elected a member of Alliance Graphic International in 1998. He was the President of D&AD in 1997/98, was Master of the Faculty of Royal Designers for Industry from 2005 to 2007 and was the external design advisor to the Design Council. He left CDT at the end of 2007 to form Studio Dempsey – and now lives and works in both London and Dorset.  Mike also hosts RDIinsights – a recorded series he devised in 2006, featuring interviews with world-class Royal Designers for Industry across all disciplines.

It's no surprise that designers like working on projects that allow them to fully display their creativity and talent. For Ethan Baldwin, those projects just happen to revolve around what might not be considered that exciting by others — banking and finance. That outlook is one of the foundations behind Slash and Structure, his new brand strategy and visual identity design firm.Ethan spoke about his passion for “making boring stuff less boring”, and how it's been important for him to balance his artistic skills with other aspects of a career in design. We also talked about working in-house vs. being an external vendor, and Ethan shared how his education at Oberlin and his work in the agency and financial world in NYC helped shape his perspective as a designer and an entrepreneur. For Ethan, being involved in the creative process is about more than just making something look good — it's about providing value, trusting the process, and staying connected to your craft!LinksEthan Baldwin's WebsiteSlash and Structure on InstagramFor a full transcript of this interview, visit revisionpath.com.==========Donate to Revision PathFor 10 years, Revision Path has been dedicated to showcasing Black designers and creatives from all over the world.

I titled this episode of "Chatter That Matters" "Forever Young" and recorded it live at the Toronto Hunt Club. The idyllic setting alone adds a unique backdrop to a conversation that erupts with laughter and spontaneous applause. The man at the center of it is the master storyteller, the iconic Canadian editorial cartoonist and painter Andy Donato. Andy Donato is not just an artist; he's a force of immense character, and his character is woven into the very fabric of who he is, from his distinctive appearance, with an unbridled shock of hair and a mischievous smile, to how he characterizes pivotal moments in time, to a handshake made with intent and integrity. Andy shares hilarious stories of his journey, from his early days as a layout artist at Eaton to his pivotal role as Art Director and then as a world-renowned and decorated editorial cartoonist. Over the years, many Canadian Prime Ministers consider being a target of his incisive cartoons as a badge of honour. Beyond the realm of editorial cartoons, Andy's "Bent Realism" painting style has been featured in one-man exhibitions worldwide. And to this day, Andy in his eighties continues to create a weekly cartoon, paint, and golf, a testament to my title, Forever Young. Deenah Patel returns to Chatter to Matters to talk about how small business owners can remain Forever Strong.  

Recently, Ben Chou and I went to the Massachusetts Independent Comics Expo (MICE). For me, it's been many years since I went there, and remember what a great collection of comics they had, many of which I still have today.   Well, this year did not disappoint. Held at Boston University's Fuller Building, the event featured dozens of comics creators, some at the start of their careers and others with a slew of titles to their names.   In this episode, Ben and I talked with a some of artists and one of the minds behind the event (who is also an artist, so remember that!). First up is Savannah Strodder. This was her first MICE and we talk about the experience, the people she met and some important lessons for her artistic career. Savannah has a comic out, “Mundae,” with beautiful illustrations and absolutely no text, so the reader can make their own story. I really like the concept and yes, I purchased a copy. I wonder how my story will go…..   Hannah Templer may be a familiar name—she's worked on titles like Doctor Who, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, and many more. Hannah also has a great series called “Cosmoknights.” It's all about a ragtag group of space gays out to save princesses from the patriarchy. Needless to say, I bought both volumes shortly thereafter. We go into the origins of the series, how it's grown over the years, and what we can expect in the forthcoming third volume. Hannah also shares some of her times at MICE and what she likes about the expo.   Tak Toyoshima is perhaps best known for his Secret Asian Man comic, and for years he was an exhibitor at MICE. Well, he's also one of the organizers as the Art Director, and let me tell you, that's no cake walk. Ben took the lead here, and the two talk about what led to Tak taking on this new role and what it's been like. Tak gives us some history on Secret Asian Man as well as some other projects he's working on (hint: think Choose Your Own Adventure). He and Ben talk about the state of the comics industry and the pros and cons of the recent changes that it's seen.   Wrapping this episode up is Shaina Lu. Like Savannah, this is her first time at MICE and she shares the great memories made over the weekend. Shaina is in the process of releasing a new comic, “Noodle & Bao,” all about a food cart that stands against a hip new café and gentrification. Shaina said the series takes a cue from what she has seen in Boston's Chinatown and we go into that as a theme. Shaina is also an art teacher for elementary students and we look at her teaching style and how she helps guide the next generation of creatives.

Not many kids dream of designing a billboard one day. It was at age 11, when he picked up his first commission from the printer (business cards for his equally entrepreneurial teenage brother), that he realised he was hooked on design. Soon after, a school careers night opened his eyes to commercial art, and his future was set. Some would call it a singular talent for designing original ideas. If you ask him, it's down to hard work and luck.  Ant Donovan is a multi-award-winning creative who has attracted widespread attention throughout his career. As Partner & Group Creative Director at Frost*collective, he's helped some of the world's biggest brands find people-centred solutions to difficult problems. Ant has had a huge impact in the design space over the past two-plus decades globally. And if you're Australian, there's a very slim chance you haven't been impacted by his work.  Ant's career in design has taken him on an amazing journey, from flying in a helicopter above the most populated city in the world to riding a hovercraft in the remote wilderness of Australia's outback. His first ‘real' job was as Art Director at the critically acclaimed photography and culture bible, Black+White magazine. Since then, he's worked with a diverse range of organisations and industries; from large-scale corporations, tourism bodies and retail giants, to iconic cultural institutions, not for profits and one-person start-ups. His passion and relentless drive to make work that matters is what gets him out of bed.  Listen in as Vince and Ant discuss designing layouts for David Bailey, Rankin and Testino aged 22, what drawing an entire typeface by hand with a Rotring pen can teach you about design, and how to find original ideas in today's oversaturated world.  https://www.frostcollective.com.au/ See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

  Chatting With Sherri welcomes award-winning artist and illustrator; Clarence Bateman! Clarence Bateman's passion for art was inspired by comic books from an early age. He fantasized about one day being a comic book artist for Marvel as Spiderman was his favorite superhero at the time. In his early teenage years he would hustle family members by doing Christmas cards and lightly twisting their arms to buy them. He would do art for his friends in school and they would pay him with comic books. He dropped out of high school to enroll in the The Edna Manley College of the Visual and Performing Arts in Kingston, Jamaica attending for three years before emigrating to the US.   After a series of dead end jobs he decided to go back to school for art enrolling in the New York City Technical College part time while holding down a full time job in the garment district as a pattern maker. He did a three year advertising program with the intention of becoming an Art Director and instead ended up working in the advertising field for the next thirty plus years as a freelance pre-production sketch artist. Sketch art at the time was done primarily with magic markers, color pencils and inks. When work started transitioning to the computer he taught himself how to use Adobe Photoshop and Illustrator.   Clarence's primary focus is Science Fiction and Fantasy art encompassing such a wide range of subject matter he considers it practically impossible to have artist block. He spends his late nights honing his skills, constantly learning, and working to become a better artist. Clarence Bateman artist and Illustrators of the Future winner from L. Ron Hubbard Presents Writers of the Future Volume 39.
