The brilliant Wajahat Ali, author of Go Back to Where You Came From, and playwright of The Domestic Crusaders, had me on The LeftHook to share my new book A Reasonable Guide for Unreasonable Women: 20 Steps to Find Your Purpose and Power in a World on Fire. Watch or listen to the full discussion on how to overcome the very real and urgent threat of fascism. (Side note: In France, Marine Le Pen is campaigning for president wearing an ankle monitor, following in the footsteps of her fellow Russian asset, the convicted felon/Epstein wing-man). Trump is doing to our country what he did to the East Wing of our White House. How do we rebuild from the wreckage? That's what A Reasonable Guide for Unreasonable Women is about. It's for anyone tired of Steve Bannon trying to demoralize us and flood the zone with sh*t. It's about concrete steps to stay grounded and focused in a world of chaos, to align your deepest needs and dreams with a higher purpose, creating world domination for the collective good. My own journey begins with being raised on stories of the government trying to kill you, and blame you for the crime, helped by Western corruption to cover-up the torture and murder. I am of course speaking of my Ukrainian heritage and the Holodomor, Stalin's genocide famine in Ukraine. In all my years of studying my family's history and the two monsters, Hitler and Stalin, who drove that history, I look back on America's own, and see the authoritarianism that established this country. The white supremacy blood lust terrorizing Black Americans, Native Americans, mass discrimination and violence against immigrants, and the list goes on. Trump, Stephen Miller, Peter Thiel, and too many others carry on that violent legacy. That's why they're aligned with the Kremlin, which sees Ukrainians as inferior.  In Ukrainian culture, we're taught to fight for our very lives, our voice, our art, our culture, our language, because no one else will. They want to erase us, so we must do the opposite and shine, shine, shine. In Ukrainian culture, art is literally survival. The coded language of poetry preserves historical truth, our shared humanity, our courage and defiance.  Life is incredibly stubborn. Creativity is how we fortify our resilience. A Reasonable Guide for Unreasonable Women provides 20 concrete steps for women–who are the favorite target of fascists, because they fear the fight in us–and their allies–to dream big for themselves and the kind of world we want to live in. That is how we reset the culture, overcome their darkness with our light, and gather our people to create a better world. We are the alternative to their dystopian vision for our future, a future that belongs to us.  To better get to new my new and most personal book, I put together this Q&A:  Empowerment can be a privilege. Many nonwhite women, especially immigrants, are juggling several jobs just to survive. How does this book make space for different lived experiences A Reasonable Guide for Unreasonable Women is based on my own lived experience of being raised in a Ukrainian immigrant family. My grandmothers both worked as maids to survive. So I take nothing for granted when it comes to the diversity of demands on women today. Throughout the book, I share wisdom and insights from women across history. There's also a recommended reading guide in the book, featuring an incredible list of women authors, like Mikki Kendall and trans activist Raquel Willis. I also share a troubling story about a Black mentor telling me to get a white man to join me for my pitch meetings and just sit there. I'm sad to say it did make a difference.  Planting seeds of hope and change – whether that's through launching a dream project like a film, book, business, non-profit, or some other ambitious goal – can be a grind. Does this book highlight organizations on the frontlines doing that unglamorous work in the shadows, helping us build that collective power?  Yes, absolutely! And I made sure that the blurbs (endorsements) featured at the front of the book included voices from grassroots groups, to promote their efforts to a wider audience. Julie Delaurier of Rise and Resist began as an organizer in ACT UP and helped organize Tesla Takedown and No Kings. She also organizes to track and resist ICE raids in NYC. She read the book and provided a heartfelt endorsement. So did civil rights leader Maya Wiley, President of the Leadership Conference on Civil and Human Rights, and Holley Atkinson of the grassroots group the Media and Democracy Project bringing legal challenges to the existence of Fox News. Isn't self-help ego-driven?  A Reasonable Guide is all about collective action. Individual choices produce collective action. Think of A Reasonable Guide for Unreasonable Women as Julia Cameron's The Artist's Way meets Timothy Snyder's On Tyranny. Self-knowledge isn't the end goal here; it's the foundation for knowing where you can make an impact. It cites women across movements and their advice on how to stay creative and build power in a time of mass destruction.  But isn't this focus on the self just new age nonsense which is a slippery slope to fascism, given reports of new age online movements being breeding grounds for fascist cult recruitment? This book follows an ancient tradition of taking on an empire with the power of ideas. Ideas cannot be killed. And you cannot stop an idea whose time has come.  Know thyself was popularized by the ancient Greeks, most famously by Socrates who was a champion of women for that time. The Greeks were conquered by the sadistic and corrupt Roman Empire. A couple hundred years later, the Greeks conquered them right back through the power of self-knowledge and ideas. Greek became the dominant language of the Roman Empire. Self-knowledge is not ego. The book walks you through steps to think creatively and conquer doubt in order to build meaningful collective action.  I had to produce my film Mr. Jones myself because no one wanted it. Mr. Jones was a film to bring historical justice and truth to a massive genocide by the Kremlin, covered up for generations, including with the help of Western corruption. A former Ambassador to Ukraine called Mr. Jones Ukraine's Schindler's List. A screening was shut down in Moscow, and Memorial, Russia's once largest NGO that dared to screen it, was liquidated. There were death threats and harassment during the making of the film, but still the team and I fought on, holding on to the power of our creativity and voices. That is what A Reasonable Guide for Unreasonable Women is about: remembering the power of your voice in a world that wants to silence you and kill you. It's also a damn good time.  I hope you will consider checking it out and pre-ordering A Reasonable Guide for Unreasonable Women, which helps build buzz in the industry and gets the word out. Thank you to everyone who has supported my work over the years. It means so much.   

Today, Sarah is joined by gender-expansive and nature-based tarot reader, workshop facilitator, and writer Lee Starfield for a live coaching session on one of the biggest challenges many creatives face: finishing what they start. Together, they explore how redefining success can help you finally complete the work that's calling you. On this episode of Moonbeaming you'll hear: Why perfectionism often keeps us from finishing our creative projects How to balance discipline with intuition without becoming overly rigid Why fear of finishing is often rooted in scarcity and self-worth Why showing up for your creative practice matters more than feeling inspired How devotion, rather than discipline alone, can transform your relationship with creativity Why community and collaborative art-making can quiet the inner critic and reconnect you with play Whether you're writing, painting, making music, or simply trying to finish something you've been carrying for years, this conversation offers practical tools and compassionate encouragement to help you trust your creativity again. --- Meet Lee: Lee Starfield is a gender-expansive and nature-based tarot reader, workshop facilitator and writer from Brooklyn, NY currently based in Boulder, Colorado. They serve as a conduit between earth and ether and are passionate about creating spaces for clients to connect with their creativity, intuition and community.

In this special DanceSpeak x No Starving Artists crossover episode, we sit down with Moncell Durden for a candid conversation about the International Dance League and some of the bigger questions its inception brings to the dance community. Through Moncell's perspective, we dig into what dancers can consider when new professional opportunities emerge, from sustainability and understanding contracts to asking better questions before signing on the dotted line. This isn't legal advice, but rather an invitation for dancers to think critically, stay curious, and better understand the opportunities in front of them. A thoughtful conversation about IDL that ultimately asks a bigger question: how can dancers become more informed participants in their own careers?

When Bill Fontana sees a still object, he doesn't just notice what it looks like, he wonders what it sounds like. He asks himself, “what does it hear?” Bill is a sound sculptor. He places microphones and vibration sensors on objects, then speakers project sounds from the objects - sounds that can't really be heard with the human ear alone. The results are beautiful, other worldly, meditative sounds and he's been doing this for 50 years, all around the world. Now, Bill is Grace Cathedral's 2026 Artist in Residence. His latest installation is called “Resonance.” KALW's Jenee Darden spoke with him on “The Sights + Sounds Show.” 

If you've ever looked at another artist's career and thought, "Why is it happening for them and not for me?"—this episode is for you. In this episode, I'm talking about the difference between fault-seeking and miracle-seeking, and how the evidence you train yourself to notice can shape the way you experience your art career. When you're constantly looking for what isn't working—the unanswered email, the gallery that hasn't called, the post that didn't perform—it becomes very easy to believe nothing is happening. But what changes when you start noticing the evidence that things are moving? We'll explore how this mindset shift can help you stay resilient, recognize momentum, and keep showing up for your career even when the bigger results haven't arrived yet. If you're building an art career and finding yourself caught in comparison, frustration, or wondering when it will finally be your turn, tune in.

In the illustrated guide, Poking the Squid, Perrin Roosevelt Ireland illustrates the splendid diversity of nature's eroticism. Chock full of delightful watercolor comics featuring pregnant seahorse dads, spider oral sex, and the four-headed echidna penis, Ireland takes us on a wild biodiversity ride through queerness, infidelity, consent, divorce, sex change, and even sexual cannibalism in the animal world. Ireland interviews researchers probing the leading edge of animal reproductive biology and, with the help of her cats Ursula and Pudge, brings readers along as she learns the latest discoveries that implode traditional notions of sex roles, relationships, and just who is mounting whom. These researchers are making dolphin vaginal popsicles, retrieving sperm packets from male squid mouths, and documenting dolphin orgies. From the externalized clitoris of the spotted hyena to mating-by-fusion in anglerfish, Poking the Squid draws on decades of feminist and queer theory to show that sexual diversity is biodiversity, and boisterous boinking is only natural. Ireland reminds us that we humans, from habitat destruction to climate change, impact all of animal life, including their private lives. Yet Earth's sexual ecosystem is filled with joy, resilience, and vitality — a balm to climate grief and a reason to protect all forms of nature's pleasure. And by illuminating and celebrating animal diversity, Poking the Squid invites us to embrace our own. Perrin Roosevelt Ireland is an artist and environmentalist. For a decade, she worked at the Natural Resources Defense Council (NRDC), ultimately as deputy to the executive director. Her artwork has been published in Discover, Nature, Scientific American, and The Rumpus. She serves on the board of the Roosevelt Institute, was an inaugural Artist in Residence at the New York Aquarium, and is a Banff Graphic Novel Resident. Perrin lives in Brooklyn, New York, with her cats (and muses) Ursula and Pudge. Buy the Book Poking the Squid: What We Can Learn from Animal Sex (Hardcover) Third Place Books

We go deep into the darkness with Italo … exploring how his best artistic endeavours come when he's at his lowest. We explore how art bridges to the other-worldly and how it teaches how to master the self.  We talk Prince, dreaming, The Crossing, when art "fails", unplugging with creativity, the alluring symbolism of the jellyfish and living an analogue life.   Others mentioned from the podcast: Dr. Marjorie Wollacott – ep 44 Dr. Vera Tiesler, MD – ep 81   Italo, IG: https://www.instagram.com/italo.castro.art/ FB: https://www.facebook.com/italo.works/

Artist and Actor Sebastian Tillinger Makes His Publishing Debut with a Raw and Searching Memoir of Life in 1999—Written When He Was 25 In HOW THE FERRIS WHEEL WAS BROKEN: A Love Letter to Los Angeles (August, 2026 | Regalo Press / Distributed by Simon & Schuster | $21.00 | Trade Paperback | ISBN: 9798895656778), author Sebastian Tillinger writes an honest, stream-of-consciousness memoir that details his  struggles to find work as an actor, audition after demoralizing audition, with 57 characters crammed in his head, while walking the tightrope between art and making money, celebrity parents and his own insecurities.            Along with his search for work, purpose, and meaning, Sebastian writes about love in all its messiness. Years after they first met in acting class, he reconnects with Sarah, a "petite stunner" with black hair who grew up in Boulder, Colorado, and was a drummer in an all-girl punk band in the eighties when it mattered. Six years his senior, she is the first woman he had sex with whom he truly loved. He asks Sarah to marry him, mostly to prove he's a man. (“I don't believe in marriage,” he muses. “I don't really know what I'm getting into.”) And he nearly screws up that chance when he gets high in the courthouse while they're waiting to get their marriage license. (Imagine going through the X-ray machine with an eighth of weed and a metal pipe stashed in your pockets… Sebastian did it.)Deeply introspective and wildly entertaining, HOW THE FERRIS WHEEL WAS BROKEN invites us to hop inside 25-year-old Sebastian Tillinger's head and travel back to 1999. I hope after reading the book, you'll agree that Sebastian's trip was never dull. Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/arroe-collins-unplugged-totally-uncut--994165/support.

They also share memorable opening-night stories and a few simple ways to feel more confident when you walk into the room.Key topicsIn this episode, Valerie and Armin discuss the artist's dual role as maker and marketer, and why both matter.They explore why attendance at art openings is not optional networking theater, but part of showing up for yourself and your work.They talk through how to handle the first 20 minutes of an opening, especially when nerves spike and you need time to settle in.Valerie shares a simple artist introduction approach, including a short elevator speech that quickly explains her work in abstraction and mixed media. Armin describes the pressure many artists feel around saying “I'm an artist” out loud, especially early in their careers.They compare practical ways to be ready for conversations, including having artwork accessible on a phone or carrying printed postcards.The conversation covers etiquette at group shows, including why it's important not to make someone else's opening about your own promotion.They discuss clothing for openings, emphasizing comfort, confidence, and dressing in a way that feels authentic rather than staged.Valerie and Armin stress the value of celebrating solo shows and receptions as milestones, not just obligations.The episode closes with a reminder to introduce artists to one another, build community, and lean into the unexpected connections that happen at art events.

Are art skills and business savvy the only keys to illustration success? Jake Parker, Anthony Wheeler, and Lee White discuss the characteristics you need to become an exceptional illustrator (they're not what you think!).

In this episode of The Truth In This Art, the guest is Jose Duran.About Jose Duran: Born in Moca, Dominican Republic, Duran is a painter, designer, and sculptor whose work constructs elaborate, opulent interiors rooted in Baroque and Rococo traditions. His practice is grounded in extensive research into survival, celebration, vengeance, sabotage, and aspirational desire within Black communities. Duran centers Black feminine figures in his compositions as a reclamation of their historically overlooked contributions to European standards of taste, and as a form of retribution for generations of forced labor under colonial rule.In the conversation, Duran discusses his early career in fashion, including time spent studying and working in Paris, as well as an MBA program in Taipei focused on the Asian luxury market. He explains his decision, at age 41, to leave the fashion industry behind and commit fully to becoming a visual artist, a shift shaped in part by a residency in Senegal that marked his entry into the art world.Duran describes the influence of his late mother, a hairstylist whose gatherings between the Bronx and the Dominican Republic shaped his early understanding of beauty, celebration, and hospitality. He also outlines his research process, including his study of the historical relationship between textiles and the transatlantic slave trade, and his investigation into love-attraction plants once used by enslaved women in the Caribbean, both of which directly inform his work.The conversation also touches on Duran's early relationship with artist Mickalene Thomas, and how that connection shaped both his confidence and his development as an artist.Follow Jose Duran on Instagram at @joseduranstudio to keep up with his work and future projects.Photo courtesy of subject.

Samar Hejazi is a Palestinian Canadian artist whose multidisciplinary work spans sculpture, textiles and printmaking, challenging traditional perceptions of reality. After spending years in Toronto, she now lives and works in Dubai. She's one of the primary contributors to the Metropolitan Museum of Art Costume Institute's latest exhibit, Costume Art, which debuted at the Met Gala in New York. Samar tells Q guest host Garvia Bailey how she was recruited for the exhibit and why she chose to honour Arab designers on fashion's biggest night.

If you think you have to perfect your art before you let yourself think about the business side, Jodie has news for you: that belief is not protecting your work, it's stalling it. In this episode, Jodie breaks down her 85% rule, the mindset hack she uses every time perfectionism tries to keep her work off the easel and out of the world. Jodie shares the story of an artist whose technically flawless painting had nothing left in it because the energy and story got polished away, and the piece of her own early work that's so "cringeworthy" it lives in a closet, but sold anyway. She walks through why art, business, and mindset were never meant to be separate lanes you pick between, and why the artists who build real, sustainable careers work on all three at once. In this episode: Why waiting for "perfect" is usually just stalling dressed up as responsibility The real difference between technically skilled work and work with a story Jodie's 85% rule for getting your art out into the world Why art, business, and mindset have to move together, not in sequence Resources Mentioned The Artist Who Gets Paid, Jodie's 3-part workshop (August 20, 25, and 27): https://www.jodiekingart.com/artistseries Studio Elite Mastermind applications: https://www.jodiekingart.com/studioelite Episode 16: How to Get Out of the Fugly Stage of Art: https://jodieking.com/episode-16-how-to-get-out-of-the-fugly-stage-of-art/ Episode 31: Artist's Money Mindset: What Do You Really Believe Is Possible?: https://jodieking.com/episode-31-artists-money-mindset-what-do-you-really-believe-is-possible/ Episode 87: How Imposter Syndrome Is Holding You Back as an Artist: https://jodieking.com/episode-87-how-imposter-syndrome-is-holding-you-back-as-an-artist-what-to-do-about-it/ Episode 113: From Hobby to Career: How Artists Go Pro: https://jodieking.com/episode-113-from-hobby-to-career-how-artists-go-pro/ Episode 145: How Your Mindset Impacts Art Pricing: https://jodieking.com/episode-145-how-your-mindset-impacts-art-pricing-one-on-one-coaching-with-jennifer-cupp/ Have a question for Jodie?

Show Notes There is a version of the music career that gets written about, and there is the version that gets played. Frankie Raye lives in the second one. She performs six or seven nights a week across the greater Tampa Bay area, mixes covers with originals depending on what the room wants, and treats the gig itself as the practice session. She points at old video of herself and measures the distance she has traveled, not against a chart position, but against her own playing. That volume changes how craft works. Frankie Raye does not describe herself as a guitar player. She describes herself as a singer whose guitar carries her voice, and she is direct about the shortcuts that make a set possible: capo up, transpose on the phone, skip the bridge if the chords are ugly, come back to the chorus. The room is singing along to the chorus anyway. What sounds like a confession is closer to a working method, and the results are visible over 12 years of professional performing. Her songwriting has flipped in the past few years. Frankie Raye used to build the music first and squeeze lyrics into it. Now the hook arrives first, often from a conversation or a road sign, and lives in her phone until a riff comes along that fits. A song she is recording this year began as a complaint about venues that want maximum energy on a minimum budget. Another began as a poem written from the passenger seat on a drive south. She performs that one, "Wasting Time," live during the episode. On artificial intelligence she is unambiguous. Frankie Raye does not use it for music, and her objection is not about quality but about origin and consequence: the material was written by people, and the person who could have been hired to write a song for a friend was not hired. That position leads somewhere unexpected. If machine-generated tracks are charting, she reasons, then chasing that sound is chasing something that no longer rewards a human for reaching it. So she stopped. She writes what she wants and releases what she wants, and she has decided against the label path she once wanted, choosing instead a following small enough to know by name. The measure she offers at the end of the conversation is not streams or signings. It is 50 people who bought tickets because they wanted to be in the room. That is a quieter ambition than the industry usually rewards, and it may be the only one currently under an artist's own control.

What happens when you spend 27 years building a career in healthcare, then decide to bet on yourself and build something of your own? For Steve Ruiz, it meant leaving the comfort of a long career, trusting his instincts, and turning a passion for Puerto Rican food into a growing family business.On this episode of I'm An Artist, Not A Salesman, host Luis Guzman sits down with Steve Ruiz, co-owner of Mama D's Empanadas, to talk about entrepreneurship, Puerto Rican culture, family, risk, resilience, and what it really takes to build a business from the ground up.Steve's journey is anything but predictable. Growing up in Bushwick, Brooklyn, he dreamed of playing professional baseball and even had an opportunity to try out with the Minnesota Twins. After suffering a serious knee injury and experiencing a heart attack at just 18 years old, his path took a completely different direction. He eventually found his way into the medical field, where he spent 27 years working at Hospital for Special Surgery.But while Steve had a stable career, he and his wife, Diana, were building something on the side. What started as a food truck grew over six or seven years, introducing customers throughout New Jersey to authentic Puerto Rican empanadas and cuisine. Eventually, people kept asking the same question: Where can we get your food all the time?That question helped push Steve and his family toward opening Mama D's Empanadas, a brick-and-mortar restaurant in New Jersey. Making that leap wasn't easy. Leaving a 27-year career meant giving up security, taking on risk, learning an entirely new industry, and figuring out how to run everything from food preparation to equipment repairs and customer service.Steve explains why he believes failing is easier than succeeding. Failure can teach you what went wrong and give you another chance to improve. Success brings a different challenge: figuring out how to repeat it and keep moving forward. That mindset has helped Steve approach entrepreneurship with patience, accountability, consistency, and a willingness to learn.A major part of the conversation is the importance of Puerto Rican culture and storytelling through food. Steve isn't simply selling empanadas. He's sharing the food, traditions, memories, and family stories behind them. Mama D's is designed to make people feel at home, whether they're Puerto Rican, Latino, or someone experiencing Puerto Rican cuisine for the first time.Puerto Rican food and culture as a foundation for building a businessLeaving a 27-year healthcare career to pursue entrepreneurshipGrowing from a food truck into a brick-and-mortar restaurantWhy consistency and quality matter more than gimmicksLearning from customers and constantly developing new empanada flavorsThe importance of research before taking a major financial riskWhy Steve chose to buy the building instead of simply signing a commercial leaseBuilding a business that can become part of the family's long-term legacyThe conversation also gets personal. Steve talks openly about fatherhood, raising his children, and the lessons he shared with his daughter before she entered the U.S. Space Force. His daughter went on to become a cybersecurity expert working with satellites, while his son built his own career in Connecticut. Steve's approach is simple: give your children the tools and guidance they need, but don't force them into the family business. Let them create their own path.Listen to IAANAS Podcast: I'm An Artist, Not A Salesman, hosted by Luis Guzman, for real conversations about creativity, business, culture, personal growth, and the messy road to building a life on your own terms.

In this podcast, Marci sits down with one of our favorite Christian artists, Megan Woods, for an honest and encouraging conversation about faith, music, and learning to trust God through every season of life.Megan recently released her powerful new song, “Heaven Down Here,” and we talk about the heart behind the song and what it means to look for glimpses of heaven in the middle of everyday life. Megan also takes us back to the beginning of her journey in music, sharing how her passion for music developed and the experiences that helped shape her as an artist. But one of the most memorable moments of the conversation is the story of how her mom was searching for hopeful music during a difficult time and discovered Casting Crowns. That discovery had a profound impact on her mom's life, and ultimately became an important influence on Megan's own faith and musical journey.Throughout the interview, Megan opens up about what God is teaching her right now, including the ongoing process of learning to trust Him more and more. She also shares about the importance of seeking wise counsel and surrounding ourselves with people who can offer godly wisdom, encouragement, and perspective.It's a conversation filled with stories of God's faithfulness, the power of music, and the ways He can use a song—or even an unexpected discovery—to change a life.Make sure to stay tuned to Your Network of Praise, where you'll hear Megan Woods' new song, “Heaven Down Here” on the radio, online at ynop.org, or on the YNOP Mobile App.

Úgy érezte, hogy elveszett a festészet világában.En: He was wrestling with his internal struggles and felt lost in the world of painting.Hu: Ekkor lépett mellé Emese, egy kedves, fiatal nő. Arca mosolyt sugárzott, miközben ő is rendelt magának.En: Then, standing next to him, appeared Emese, a kind young woman whose face radiated a smile as she placed her order too.Hu: „Te is művész vagy, ugye?” kérdezte Emese, mintha olvasott volna Bálint gondolataiban.En: “You're an artist, aren't you?” Emese asked, as if she had read Bálint's mind.Hu: „Igen, de mostanában nehezen megy,” vallotta be Bálint.En: “Yes, but it's been difficult lately,” Bálint admitted.Hu: Emese bólintott, együttérzően nézve rá.En: Emese nodded, looking at him sympathetically.Hu: „Én is voltam így. Néha csak egy új látószög kell.”En: “I've been there too. Sometimes you just need a new perspective.”Hu: Bálint figyelmesen hallgatta.En: Bálint listened attentively.Hu: Emese mesélt neki saját útjáról, hogyan talált rá az ihlet újra az apró dolgokban.En: Emese shared her own journey, explaining how she found inspiration again in small things.Hu: Ahogy beszéltek, Bálint felfedezte a hajnal első fényében vöröslő partot, és a feje tele lett új ötletekkel.En: As they spoke, Bálint discovered the beach glowing red with the first light of dawn, and his head filled with new ideas.Hu: „Köszönöm,” mondta végül hálásan Bálint.En: “Thank you,” Bálint said gratefully at last.Hu: „Nélküled talán sosem jönnek rá ezek a gondolatok.”En: “Without you, these thoughts might never have come.”Hu: „Ne aggódj! Az inspiráció mindig visszatér, csak figyelnünk kell,” biztatta Emese.En: “Don't worry! Inspiration always returns; we just need to pay attention,” encouraged Emese.Hu: Bálint elhatározta, hogy azonnal nekilát egy új vázlatnak az esti strandról.En: Bálint decided to immediately start a new sketch of the evening beach.Hu: A fejében újra zsongott az alkotás varázsa.En: The magic of creation buzzed in his mind once more.Hu: Eltelve reménnyel és új ötletekkel hagyta el a strandot.En: Filled with hope and new ideas, he left the beach.Hu: A holdfény utat mutatott neki vissza az ösvényen, immár nem elveszetten, hanem újra művészként érezte magát.En: The moonlight showed him the way back on the path; he no longer felt lost but like an artist once more.Hu: Az éjszaka emlékezetessé vált.En: The night became memorable.Hu: Inspiráció, amit váratlan módon nyert, új lendületet adott a dolgozáshoz.En: The inspiration he gained unexpectedly gave him new momentum for his work.Hu: Most már tudta, hogy a félelmei fölé kerekedhet.En: Now he knew he could overcome his fears.Hu: Várja őket a vászon és a festékek világa.En: The world of canvases and paints awaits him.Hu: Az égbolt minden színe gondosan megőrzi számára, hogy újra megfesthesse a saját történetét.En: The sky carefully preserves all its colors for him to once again paint his own story.

Drew Forsyth is an award-winning portrait photographer and director based in the North West of England, working with commercial and advertising clients across the UK and internationally. His work centres on people who've given everything to be extraordinary at what they do — from dancers with English National Ballet and musicians of the BBC Philharmonic and the Hallé Orchestras, to Nobel Prize-winning scientists, politicians, and performers at the height of their careers. His photography has been featured by BBC News, The Guardian, The Times, and Rolling Stone, and recognised by the Royal Society of the Arts. He's an AOP Accredited Photographer and Fellow of the RSA, and speaks internationally at events like Photo North, Pas de Deux Photo Conference, and the Royal Photographic Society.In this episode, Drew and Nikki trace his path from a JCPenney-style family portrait studio to photographing world leaders, Nobel laureates, and major corporate campaigns — and he breaks down exactly how he prices that work today. They dig into setting boundaries on set (and how to say yes to more without losing your mind), why those early "conveyor belt" studio years became his real technical training, and why he believes his biggest competition isn't other photographers — it's being forgotten. Drew also walks through how he actually quotes corporate jobs (day rates, itemized breakdowns, and the cautionary tale of a client who blamed him for "cheap-looking" dresses), how personal passion projects like his "Breaking Ground" series and a helicopter shoot over Manhattan became his best marketing, and the "Helsinki Bus Station Theory" — his framework for why so many photographers give up on their style right before it becomes distinctive.Topics covered:Setting boundaries with clients without losing bookingsWhy "conveyor belt" studio work builds indispensable technical skillsThe accidental path from individual sessions to corporate/organizational clientsPricing corporate shoots: day rates, itemized quotes, and scope questionsWhy past-client relationships and personal introductions beat cold outreachMarketing through consistent presence, not constant hard-sellingPassion projects as a client-acquisition strategyThe Helsinki Bus Station Theory: staying the course creativelyIf you're building a photography business, want to grow your portrait photography income, or are curious about how to make money from photography online, this conversation is packed with actionable advice.

What happens when AI starts rewriting the rules of the music industry? On the first episode of The Artist Economy, Michael Walker, Chris Saunders, Sol Gold, and Devin Mooers break down the biggest stories shaping the future of independent artists. We dive into prediction markets manipulating Spotify charts, the multi-billion-dollar rise of AI music company Suno, the legal battle over AI training data, the collapse of the traditional touring ladder, and why governments are now treating frontier AI models like strategic technology.Along the way we ask bigger questions:Who really owns music once it becomes culture?Can AI companies profit from music they didn't create?Why are artists still chasing streams instead of owning relationships?What happens when every algorithm becomes a game?Is AI replacing artists... or forcing them to become more human?If you're trying to build a sustainable music career over the next decade, this conversation is about much more than headlines—it's about understanding where the industry is going before everyone else does.In this episode, Michael, Chris, Sol, and Devin unpack the forces reshaping music, technology, and the economics of being an independent artist—and what these changes could mean for the future of creativity, ownership, and artist careers.Key TakeawaysHow prediction markets created incentives to manipulate Spotify's charts—and what that teaches us about every algorithm.Why Suno's $5.4 billion valuation changes the conversation around AI music forever.The legal battle over AI training data, copyright, and who should benefit from the next generation of music technology.Why millions of songs being used to train AI may become one of the defining copyright questions of our generation."Blue Dot Fever" and what shrinking concert attendance means for the future of touring.Why governments briefly treated frontier AI models like strategic national assets—and why artists should care.---→ Book an Artist Breakthrough Session with the Modern Musician team: https://streetteam.fm/masterclass

I interviewed Kristina Buožytė & Vitalijus Žukas about Creation of the World on Monday, September 1, 2025 at Venice Immersive in Venice, Italy. Here is the story synopsis for Creation of the World: "Creation of the Worlds is a VR experience inspired by the visionary art and music of Lithuania's most renowned artist, Mikalojus Konstantinas Čiurlionis. This poetic VR odyssey is both a meditation on creation and a metaphor for the human journey toward inner maturity. Created by Kristina Buožytė and Vitalijus Žukas, the experience blends immersive storytelling with interactive elements, inviting viewers into a dreamlike world. With the freedom to navigate and soar through evolving environments, the viewer gradually discovers they are not merely an observer — but the creator and caretaker of timeless worlds. Inspired by over sixty of Čiurlionis's paintings, the experience blends visual art with a contemporary reimagining of Čiurlionis's music by Phil Von and Rokas Zubovas." Here are the contextual domains that are explored: [9] Surreal art [5] inspired by religious themes [9] and creation stories with a bit of a pagan edge. Here is the Elemental Center of Gravity: 1st Center of Gravity of Earth Element / Environmental and Embodied Presence: Spatial journey of the Lithuanian artist Mikalojus Konstantinas Čiurlionis.2nd Center of Gravity of Water Element / Emotional Presence: Musical score. "Immersive Cinema"3rd Center of Gravity of Fire Element / Active Presence: Very subtle gaze detected navigation mechanic. Mostly on rails, but there's quite a lot of variation.4th Center of Gravity of Air Element / Mental and Social Presence: No words or narration. You're left to discern the meaning of the symbolism on your own. Archetypal Themes and Character Explored: Explorations of the blending of different modes of artistic expression with the transcendent realms of mythology, religion, and symbolism. "Mikalojus Konstantinas Čiurlionis — painter, composer and visionary... His worldview and artistic depth reflect a Renaissance-like spirit, blending music, visual art and philosophy into unique and timeless universes." Also explorations how this transcendent is ingressed into physical reality, and the relationship between the two. The piece is also described as "an immersive VR fairy tale exploring the connection between the material and spiritual realms. A subtle, symbol- and metaphor-rich journey through human maturity and the awakening of creative power, told in the timeless language of myth. It is an ode to creation — divine, natural and human" Artist Statement: "Mikalojus Konstantinas Čiurlionis — painter, composer and visionary — is one of Lithuania's most important cultural figures and a unique voice in global art history. His worldview and artistic depth reflect a Renaissance-like spirit, blending music, visual art and philosophy into unique and timeless universes. Creation of the Worlds is our homage to his legacy — an immersive VR fairy tale exploring the connection between the material and spiritual realms. A subtle, symbol- and metaphor-rich journey through human maturity and the awakening of creative power, told in the timeless language of myth. It is an ode to creation — divine, natural and human — inspired by Čiurlionis's art and music." This is a listener-supported podcast through the Voices of VR Patreon. Music: Fatality

It is a privilege to welcome country music recording artist Caldwell to the Jake's Take with Jacob Elyachar Podcast.  Caldwell's sound is as raw and real as the life that shaped him. Raised in a diverse community and grounded in values of respect, hard work, and authenticity, Caldwell found his rhythm early, picking up the drums at age five and turning to songwriting during high school. The spark that lit the fuse came when he watched a friend shoot a music video and thought, “I can do this better.” Drawing inspiration from Eminem, Elvis Presley, Bruno Mars, and Morgan Wallen, Caldwell channels his Southern roots into a fearless fusion of country, rock, hip-hop, and pop. What began as a relentless grind through local venues and bar stages has evolved into sold-out performances, viral moments, and a rapidly expanding fanbase fueled by his faith, grit, and unwavering work ethic.Hailing from Greenville, South Carolina, Caldwell is redefining genre lines with a high-voltage blend of country, rock, rap, and pop. Following a breakout 2025 that saw him named Rolling Stone UK's #1 Artist to Watch with his viral hit “Beer & Baddies” featuring Sexyy Red, which debuted at number 31 on the Billboard Dance/Mix Show Airplay Chart, Caldwell continues his meteoric rise with a major milestone of partnering with independent record label EMPIRE Nashville. Caldwell took this energy and harnessed a show-stopping performance for a record-breaking crowd at CMA Fest's Dr Pepper Amp Stage. The performance left the crowd wanting more and fueled the iconic WAKA FLOCKA FLAME to say from the stage, “Caldwell is the most exciting new country artist to come up!”On this episode of The Jake's Take with Jacob Elyachar Podcast, Caldwell opened up about how Chad Kroeger and Morgan Wallen influenced his sound, the stories behind his songs, including “F.S.U.” and “Flyin' Pass – Remix” with Yung Pinch & MOD SUN.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/jake-s-take-with-jacob-elyachar--4112003/support.

We're saying goodbye to The Artist's Way — and honestly, good riddance. We're recapping our favorite quotes, the insights that actually landed, and the many, many reasons this was the most frustrating craft book we've covered on this show.Would we recommend it? Hard no. Curious about Morning Pages? Google it — someone's written a better explainer than this book ever managed.Then we pivot hard: no more process, just craft. Enter The Scene Book by Sandra Scofield — composition-notebook cover included, so you know it means business. End-of-chapter exercises and everything. We're digging into the introduction and what we're hoping this one delivers that the last one didn't.Remember, we have a Writers Process meetup every Wednesday. Check us out.

"To Post, or Not to Post….That is the Question" In this pilot episode of The Intrepid Artist, the main question asked by a listener is whether sharing (or even having) one's social media plays an important role in grant and open call decisions. Arleene advocates for developing a thoughtful, engaging and empathetic feed, as opposed to one in which an artist is simply constantly sharing work. She wants a feed in which the artist shares who they really are, beyond the gallery setting; whether to use Stories vs. Posts, and the importance of sharing what you want to share, and how Arleene likes to be able to share her failures on IG as a way of showing her full output and working through those failures; whether you would make the work if it isn't/wasn't posted- a key question for artists to ask themselves, and how (of course) the ultimate objective is to be engaging in the studio. In the 2nd question, a listener asks how to get motivated to draw, to make work, which has Arleene recalling a lifechanging moment in her first real drawing class in art school, led by a professor who asked his students if they needed – not just wanted – to be there; Arleene and I share our very different takes on what it feels like being in the studio- euphoria vs. reality; how the research and other behind-the-scenes work done in the studio that's necessary for making our work goes unseen, and for Arleene that means it's hard to have gratitude when she's not making the art. Become a Patreon supporter of the podcast for twice as much content, for as little as $1/month, here: https://www.patreon.com/theconversationpod In the extended Patreon BONUS section, Arleene talks about her forms of meditation- the gym and working out, as well as swimming, as key rituals that help to clear her head before she gets to the studio, so when she's there, she's in the most optimal mental space to focus on her work.
