The longer you create mokuhanga, the more your individual tastes reveal themselves in your own  work, your style, your ideas, and your unique way of seeing the world. These are the qualities that make a mokuhanga artist or craftsperson shine, and they represent the place many practitioners aspire to reach. On this episode of The Unfinished Print: A Mokuhanga Podcast, I speak with someone who has spent decades refining his style, developing his ideas, and defining his relationship with mokuhanga at the same time exploring a variety of printmaking mediums. Daniel Kelly lives and works in Kyoto, Japan, and for many years his work has been exhibited in galleries all around the world. It can also be found in private collections and in some of the world's most important museums. We discuss Daniel's studies under Tomikichiro Tokuriki and the lasting influence Tokuriki has had on his work. Daniel explains his preference for papers from outside Japan and why he generally avoids using Japanese washi. He also details his creative process, discusses his use of multiple printmaking mediums alongside mokuhanga, and he reflects on the advantages each brings to his practice. We also talk about galleries, selling work, and Daniel's views on tradition—and how, in some cases, it can hold artists back.

Instead of using colour to describe reality, they used it expressively—often applying pure, unmixed pigments directly from the tube to create intense, non-naturalistic effects. Colour became independent from form and light, used to convey emotion, rhythm, and visual impact rather than accurate representation. This liberated approach to colour was short-lived as a movement but had a lasting influence on modern and contemporary art.

Synchromism, meaning "with colour," sought to construct painting through colour alone, treating it as the primary driver of form, rhythm, and spatial depth rather than line or traditional representation. Drawing parallels with musical composition, Macdonald-Wright and Russell aimed to create visual "harmonies" where colours functioned like chords, building dynamic and structured relationships across the canvas. The result was one of the earliest American contributions to abstraction, grounded in a systematic exploration of colour as an expressive and structural force. © Popular Wheat Productions logo designed and produced by Douglas Batchelor and André Zadorozny  Introduction music while working - Lester Young / Oscar Peterson  Disclaimer: Please do not reproduce or use anything from this podcast without shooting me an email and getting my express written or verbal consent.

Join Talk Cosmos, Sunday 14 JUNE 2026, 1–2 p.m. PDT as we explore the “GEMINI CAPRICORN MOON PHASES” about the upcoming New and Full Moon.Together, the theme of the two upcoming moon phases coincides with several big celestial turning points. In between the new and full moon, Chiron enters Taurus after its long 8-yr Aries transit. Taurus shifts us to begin its 7-year transit of healing self-worth where we shift perceptions from scarcity to abundance.Importantly, this month's pair of lunations suggests gathering information to activate new directions for healing our worth and environment. It begins June 14 with the 24°03' Gemini New Moon promoting deep activation, completing a powerful healing process of releasing what prevents us from nurturing our full identity.On June 29 the 8°15' Capricorn Full Moon occurs a week after the June 21 Summer Solstice, which falls on the first quarter moon. The next day, on the 30th, Jupiter enters its new year cycle in Leo! Shortly thereafter, Jupiter will square Chiron on July 1 to activate healing in a BIG way. Perhaps wounds surfacing of scarcity to be addressed with the intent of beginning to transmute these limitations towards an expanded perspective for experiencing abundance.It helps to remember that Gemini connects and gathers information, while Capricorn strips anything superficial away to find its fundamental basis. Together their energetic consciousness operates to achieve a sense of clarity; necessary for the spark of Mars activating the Uranian essence in the moment as they will soon be conjunct in Gemini the communicator.The Essence of the LuminaryThe second week of the month focuses on capturing the Moon's essence during its New and Full phases. As our most personal planet, the Moon regulates the past as it flows into the present, allowing us to experience emotions, habits, and feelings. Ultimately, it helps us piece together the meaningfulness of our life story.

You do the work. You train, you sleep, you eat well, you manage stress. And yet your joints still ache, recovery takes longer, and something just feels harder than it used to.I sit down with David Watumull, co-founder and CEO of AX3, to talk about astaxanthin, a naturally occurring antioxidant he has spent his entire career studying, one that most people have never heard of despite having more than 4,000 peer-reviewed papers and 100 human clinical trials behind it.This is not a conversation about the latest wellness trend. It's a deep look at the science of oxidative stress, chronic inflammation, and what actually happens inside your cells when the damage accumulates faster than your body can repair it.What we explore:- Why astaxanthin is categorically different from vitamins C and E, and how it works at every layer of the cell without ever becoming pro-oxidant.- How chronic inflammation starts with oxidative stress upstream, and why blocking it at the source is safer than suppressing the immune response after the fact.- Why this ingredient was one of only five agents in a 20-year NIH-funded program to extend mammalian lifespan by over 10 percent while also showing health span benefits.- How astaxanthin protects joints, muscles, and mitochondrial energy production, and what the data on competitive cyclists actually demonstrates.- What to look for in a supplement, why bioavailability determines whether you absorb anything at all, and how to build astaxanthin into a foundational daily stack.Chapters: 00:00 Intro03:30 Why Astaxanthin Isn't Like Other Antioxidants07:14 The Algae Origins of Astaxanthin11:22 Salmon, the Food Chain, and Nature's Design15:00 From Pharma Research to Supplement18:21 The NIH Longevity Study Explained23:15 mTOR, FOXO3, and the Aging Pathways29:10 Safe Anti-Inflammatory for Joints and Athletes35:15 Brain Protection and the Blood-Brain Barrier38:02 Skin Health and Sun Damage from the Inside45:00 Redox Balance and Liver Protection48:35 Mitochondria, Energy, and Endurance Performance53:00 How to Stack Astaxanthin with Other Supplements57:10 Dosing, Bioavailability, and What Sets AX3 Apart01:07:00 Why David Watumull Went All-In on One IngredientAbout David Watumull:David Watumull is the co-founder and CEO of AX3, a supplement company built on more than two decades of astaxanthin research. He was introduced to the ingredient as a teenager working on algae ponds on the Big Island of Hawaii, and has spent his career advancing its science through pharmaceutical-grade manufacturing, NIH-funded longevity studies, and peer-reviewed cardiovascular research. His work sits at the intersection of rigorous science and practical supplementation, and it shows.Connect with David Watumull:Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/davewatumull–This episode is sponsored by:AX3: Visit ax3.life and use code GABBY for 20% OFF your first orderWebsite: https://www.ax3.lifeInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/ax3.life–The Gabby Reece ShowThis is where I have real conversations with the people I find most worth listening to: scientists, athletes, coaches, parents, and thinkers who are doing the hard work of building a life that holds up over time.

Hawaiian police are asking for help tracking down a 36-year-old man they say is armed and extremely dangerous. Police say Jacob Daniel Baker murdered 3 elderly men over a 2 day killing spree in the Puna area of the Big Island. In recent days, at least two residents of the area requested restraining orders against Baker after they say he directly threatened their lives. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
