He believes in the importance of painting from life to develop fundamental artistic skills, stressing that understanding principles like value, composition, and color provides a foundation for creative expression. Throughout his career, Keith has learned to approach plein air painting as a way to capture the essence of color, light, and atmosphere, rather than creating finished pieces, and uses these sketches as references for more contemplative studio paintings. His artistic journey began with a love for art in school, and he transitioned to being a full-time artist with the support of his wife, navigating the challenges of an art career through discipline and continuous learning. Keith advocates for building personal relationships with clients, maintaining an email newsletter, and having a strong website as key marketing strategies for artists. Finally, Keith reminds us of the value of constraints in fostering creativity and encourages aspiring artists to paint from life, return to fundamental principles, and understand that creativity is a dialogue between the left and right brain hemispheres.Keith's FASO site:https://keithbond.com/Keith's Social media:https://www.instagram.com/keith.bond/https://www.facebook.com/KeithBondFineArt

On this episode of Crazy Wisdom, Stewart Alsop welcomes Andrew Burlinson, an artist and creative thinker, for a deep conversation about technology, creativity, and the human spirit. They explore the importance of solitude in the creative process, the addictive nature of digital engagement, and how AI might both challenge and enhance human expression. Andrew shares insights on the shifting value of art in an AI-driven world, the enduring importance of poetry, and the unexpected resurgence of in-person experiences. For more on Andrew, check out his LinkedIn and Instagram.Check out this GPT we trained on the conversation!Timestamps00:00 Introduction and Guest Welcome00:27 Meeting in LA and Local Insights01:34 The Creative Process and Technology03:47 Balancing Solitude and Connectivity07:21 AI's Role in Creativity and Productivity11:00 Future of AI in Creative Industries14:39 Challenges and Opportunities with AI16:59 AI in Hollywood and Ethical Considerations18:54 Silicon Valley and AI's Impact on Jobs19:31 Navigating the Future with AI20:06 Adapting to Rapid Technological Change20:49 The Value of Art in a Fast-Paced World21:36 Shifting Aesthetics and Cultural Perception22:54 The Human Connection in the Age of AI24:37 Resurgence of Traditional Art Forms27:30 The Importance of Early Artistic Education31:07 The Role of Poetry and Language35:56 Balancing Technology and Intention37:00 Conclusion and Contact InformationKey InsightsThe Importance of Solitude in Creativity – Andrew Burlinson emphasizes that creativity thrives in moments of boredom and solitude, which have become increasingly rare in the digital age. He reflects on his childhood, where a lack of constant stimulation led him to develop his artistic skills. Today, with infinite digital distractions, people must intentionally carve out space to be alone with their thoughts to create work that carries deep personal intention rather than just remixing external influences.The Struggle to Defend Attention – Stewart and Andrew discuss how modern digital platforms, particularly social media, are designed to hijack human attention through powerful AI-driven engagement loops. These mechanisms prioritize negative emotions and instant gratification, making it increasingly difficult for individuals to focus on deep, meaningful work. They suggest that future AI advancements could paradoxically help free people from screens, allowing them to engage with technology in a more intentional and productive way.AI as a Creative Partner—But Not Yet a True Challenger – While AI is already being used in creative fields, such as Hollywood's subtle use of AI for film corrections, it currently lacks the ability to provide meaningful pushback or true creative debate. Andrew argues that the best creative partners challenge ideas rather than just assist with execution, and AI's tendency to be agreeable and non-confrontational makes it a less valuable collaborator for artists who need critical feedback to refine their work.The Pendulum Swing of Human and Technological Aesthetics – Throughout history, every major technological advancement in the arts has been met with a counter-movement embracing raw, organic expression. Just as the rise of synthesizers in music led to a renewed interest in acoustic and folk styles, the rapid expansion of AI-generated art may inspire a resurgence of appreciation for handcrafted, deeply personal artistic works. The human yearning for tactile, real-world experiences will likely grow in response to AI's increasing role in creative production.The Enduring Value of Art Beyond Economic Utility – In a world increasingly shaped by economic efficiency and optimization, Andrew stresses the need to reaffirm the intrinsic value of art. While capitalism dominates, the real significance of artistic expression lies in its ability to move people, create connection, and offer meaning beyond financial metrics. This perspective is especially crucial in an era where AI-generated content is flooding the creative landscape, potentially diluting the sense of personal expression that defines human art.The Need for Intentionality in Using AI – AI's potential to streamline work processes and enhance creative output depends on how humans choose to engage with it. Stewart notes that while AI can be a powerful tool for structuring time and filtering distractions, it can also easily pull people into mindless consumption. The challenge lies in using AI with clear intention—leveraging it to automate mundane tasks while preserving the uniquely human aspects of ideation, storytelling, and artistic vision.The Role of Poetry and Language in Reclaiming Humanity – In a technology-driven world where efficiency is prioritized over depth, poetry serves as a reminder of the human experience. Andrew highlights the power of poets and clowns—figures often dismissed as impractical—as essential in preserving creativity, playfulness, and emotional depth. He suggests that valuing poetry and artistic language can help counterbalance the growing mechanization of culture, keeping human expression at the forefront of civilization's evolution.

Show Notes: Jennifer Gibbs shares her journey as a woman and artist who worked in the entertainment field and later became a mother. She enrolled in a PhD program at NYU in comparative literature, focusing on performance and the embodiment of the female and feminine. She was cast in various off Broadway shows and earned her actors equity card. During her graduate studies, Jennifer received a Mellon Fellowship for teaching. She talks about her decision to focus full time on acting and writing for theater and her recognition of limited support in academia for multidisciplinary approaches to performance. Jennifer worked in the theater for a decade, mainly acting and writing plays. In her mid-30s, she became a mother, experiencing unexpected pregnancy losses and serial grief. This led to a shift in focus to writing, which was fruitful and collaborative. She was the artist in residence at the Here Arts Center, where she developed a play called Sounding, which integrated film, music, lyrics, and scene work. The play premiered three weeks before her son Liam's birth. From Working in Theatre to Working in Television As their family relocated to Los Angeles, Jennifer became interested in writing for television and screen. She learned to write for television at the suggestion of an executive at HBO. She took the leap, not knowing how to write for television, but found it fulfilling. For the last decade, Jennifer has been writing new plays and television worlds. Recently, she started a small independent production company, aiming to empower women creators to produce work that might not be produced in film and television or in the multi-platform arena. Jennifer's most recent project is called Riot Mom, a multi-platform universe story that unfolds on various distribution platforms. The company is driven by her connection to her work and her personal connection to her work. The first project they are producing is called Riot Mom, a multi-platform universe story that unfolds on audio, live, and television platforms. Early Influences from the Art World The conversation turns to Jennifer's father, Tom Gibbs, a Chicago-based artist. Jennifer describes her experience as a child of a sculptor, how she was introduced to and influenced by the artists around her. They often had a band of sculptors at their house, some in assistant positions and colleagues from Chicago. They would have meals together, discuss work, and have opinions on various projects. Despite not wanting to do sculpture, Jennifer loved drawing and painting, and would often work in one of the studios. A Young Actor on Tour Jennifer shares her experience as an actor during her national Broadway tour, describing it as exciting and workmanlike. She learned from the technical staff about the complex process of moving from one place to another, like a circus. Gibbs describes the experience as a crash course in self-producing, directing, and balancing personal and professional boundaries. She also discusses the challenges of maintaining a balance in a collaborative environment, where one must leave their family, home, and friends behind to work on a show. Jennifer believes that maintaining healthy boundaries is a challenge for anyone working in theater, film, or television. She found the experience intensive and valuable, making lasting friendships with people she collaborated with in New York.  The Artistic Process and Healing Grief Jennifer shares how she processed the grief of two stillbirths through her work. At the time, she was working on a film based on a stage adaptation of an Ibsen play. She met Andre Gregory, who was casting Vanya on 42nd Street, and they had a two-hour conversation in a cafe. Although she did not get the role, she received support, encouragement, and mentorship from Gregory. He advised her to make her own project which inspired Jennifer and others from the Harvard theater community, including Jeannie Simpson and Peter Hirsch,  to create a play called Lady from the Sea. They spent two years working on the play in Jennifers' living room, creating a unique and rarely produced piece. Jennifer talks about her journey to create a multi-disciplinary theatre show based on a film adaptation of an Ibsen play. She discovered a deep connection to grief and loss in the original play, which they had not considered in their previous work. After a decade of working on the project, Jennifer realized that grief is a form of radical transformation that is generative and creative. She learned that denying or overcoming grief can deprive individuals of the opportunity to create and acquiesce to the next stage in their transformation. A First Book and a New Project Jennifer's first book, "Oh Mother," is a literary non-fiction book about serial grief and the value of a certain approach to grief. The book is experiential and personal, and was written during the pandemic. Her journey highlights the importance of embracing grief and embracing change in life. She talks about a world created with Jenny Castro, that explores the intersection of women's creative process. The story revolves around two middle-aged women who were estranged from their riot girl days in the 90s, and they reunite in a suburban context. She talks about the project, the production team, pitching, and another project called Train Hoppers, a  multi-platform, single episode of a story that can be experienced online, at live events, or through a live pop-up event.  Influential Harvard Professors and Courses  Jennifer discusses her experiences with Marjorie Garber's Shakespeare and her seminar on ghostwriters.  She was influenced by playwright Adrianne Kennedy, who became a lifelong mentor and friend after graduating from Harvard. Jennifer also discusses her love for 16th-century British poetry and the pressure to conform to Aristotelian standards in the world of television, film, and playwriting.  Timestamps: 00:02: Journey Through Comparative Literature and Theatre  03:30: Balancing Academia and Acting 06:03: Transition to Motherhood and Writing O9:20: Exploring Television and Film  12:36: Learning from Her Father's Artistic Journey 20:04: National Broadway Tour Experience  26:01: Processing Grief Through Art  37:58: Current Venture: "Riot Mom"  45:46: Influences from Harvard Links: LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/jennifer-gibbs-27b91386/ Featured Non-profit This week's featured non-profit of this episode is American Pilgrims On the Camino, recommended by Kelly Murphy Mason who reports: “Hello all.

In this episode, we explored the joys and challenges of using "shitty" or outdated tools in creative work. We discussed how embracing less efficient methods and older technologies, from film cameras to typewriters to VHS tapes, can lead to unique results and greater artistic fulfillment, even if the process is slower. While recognizing that digital tools offer speed and precision, we argued that working with constraints and imperfections can spark new ideas and help us develop our own creative voice.We also examined the role of productivity in creative work and life. We acknowledged the cultural pressures to prioritize output and efficiency above all else. However, we proposed that an excessive focus on short-term productivity can lead to burnout and limit creative growth in the long run. Instead, we advocated for balancing disciplined work with experimentation and play, trusting that this approach can sustain creativity and satisfaction over a lifetime. Ultimately, we encouraged listeners to critically examine their metrics for success and consider optimizing for personal fulfillment, even if it means taking the scenic route. -Ai If you enjoyed this episode, please consider giving us a rating and/or a review.

We discuss the complex emotions and motivations behind creating and sharing artistic work in the digital age. We grapple with the duality of making art for oneself versus seeking validation and approval from others, especially in the context of online platforms like YouTube. The conversation touches on the allure of views, the ego boost of popularity, and the manipulative aspects of digital spaces that can distort an artist's intentions.We also discuss the importance of staying true to one's artistic vision, focusing on the work itself rather than external metrics of success, and finding a balance between commerce and authentic expression. We reflect on the value of in-person connections and experiences outside the internet, and the need to embrace all aspects of the creative process, including the discomfort that comes with putting one's work out into the world.Throughout the episode, we offer candid insights from our own journeys as creators, sharing both the joys and struggles of walking the line between passion and validation in an increasingly digital landscape. Ultimately, we emphasize the importance of self-awareness, discipline, and staying committed to the work, even in the face of internal doubts and external pressures. -Ai If you enjoyed this episode, please consider giving us a rating and/or a review.

This is The Thirty Second Episode of the Visual Scholar Podcast - With Tim Mcburnie. Let's look at how properly understanding the role of artistic process steps can lift your artistic game! Below is in Automagically generated summary so you can check out the content and also to help with search functionality! ---Defining Process:The process is the journey from an initial idea to the finished artwork. It involves three main phases: ideation, creation, and presentation. Each phase plays a crucial role in how the artwork is perceived and experienced by both the artist and the viewer. Ideation Process:This is where everything begins—with an idea. Transforming a vague thought into a tangible concept is the first step in the creative process. Creation Process:This is the actual making of the artwork, where ideas are turned into physical or digital forms. This phase is often messy and far from the polished look of the final product. Presentation Process:The final artwork is presented in a way that enhances its perceived value—through marketing, storytelling, and sophisticated presentation techniques. Artists often work in environments that contrast sharply with the beauty and cleanliness of galleries and final presentations. Studios are functional spaces where the messy reality of artistic creation unfolds. The process of creation is not just about using specific tools or techniques but understanding why and how different methods affect the finished product. For instance, comic book artists use line and color to create vibrant, clear images that print well, which is essential for the medium. Practical Takeaways: Understanding and refining your process can significantly enhance your art and enjoyment of creating.It's crucial to choose a process that not only achieves the desired artistic outcomes but also aligns with your personal preferences and the practical needs of your medium.Philosophical Takeaway:The magic of art often lies in its mystery. Just as people enjoy the illusion of a magic trick without seeing the hidden mechanisms, they appreciate art more when its creation seems effortless. However, for artists, embracing and understanding the process behind the scenes is what enables them to produce magic repeatedly. Conclusion:As we wrap up, remember that the process is integral to art. It's what you spend most of your time doing as an artist, and it's where the real joy and discovery happen. Whether you're a seasoned professional or just starting, focusing on process rather than just the final product can enrich your artistic practice.--- This Podcast is designed to help you demystify the world of Art, Productivity, and Creativity.
