“Art is actually a lifeline…When presented in conjunction with important ideas, art can change us inside. It changes the way we see, think, feel, and the way that we talk about things that are important to us.” -Rina Faletti, PhD   Episode Description:  When a disaster strikes, the conversation typically focuses on what has been lost: homes, livelihoods, and even lives. The emotional and spiritual toll of a disaster can be harder to recognize, but it is every bit as important. But in times like these, it's crucial to remember that humans are creative creatures, and we have access to a wonderful tool that can help us heal: ART. As survivors work to rebuild their homes and their lives, art ​can help them feel​ less alone by providing an opportunity for shared experience and expression. Art teaches them to see things differently—to notice details, to find beauty where they may not have seen it before, and to connect with their community and themselves. Art-Responds was curated by Dr. Rina Faletti with the same vision. As the importance of art and community became apparent in disaster recovery, Dr. Faletti began gathering artist-responders that are also active in making this vision possible: Oscar Aguilar Olea, Julia Crane, Andrea Dale, Lowell Downey, Laura Resen, Jeff Frost, Linda Gass, Edmund Ian Grant, Norma I. Quintana, Kristi Rene, and Brian Fies who is also our guest in Season 3 Episode 6. As they strive to bring art into disaster recovery, they also open the opportunity for deeper conversations on community engagement, disaster preparedness, and recovery.    Tune in as Dr. Faletti discusses how important it is to introduce art as one of the first responses to recovery and not the last, what gathering artist-responders and putting together an exhibit is like, the unifying and healing power of art, and the importance of storytelling in recovery.  Connect with After The Fire USA:  Website: https://afterthefireusa.org/ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/RebuildNorthBay/ Twitter: https://twitter.com/AfterTheFireUSA Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/afterthefireusa/ LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/company/atf3r YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCuTefxZgWUJkDVoZGZQpxgQ Highlights: 03:04: Fire Goes Where Water Flows 12:25: We are Reflections of Nature 17:56: Gathering Artist-Responders Together 23:15: The Role of Art in Recovery 28:46: Why Art Should be on the Front of Recovery 37:18: Art Brings Community Together 42:00: The Unifying Power of Art  45:45: Meet the Artist-Responders  

“Art doesn't seem very important in an event like this. And yet sometimes, it's the thing that lasts the longest and means the most.” -Brian Fies    Episode Description:  Wildfires are devastating. They destroy homes, businesses, and sometimes even entire communities. And when they're over, what's left is often a wasteland of charred earth and blackened trees. In a few minutes, everything you've built has burned to the ground, without having the chance to say goodbye. But the most painful thing is to be forced to move on when you're still grieving your loss. They say it's just stuff, but it's your life embedded in them.    But as much as you want to, there's no going back. You can only build a new life. And in this new life, it's important to remember and tell your story. One way to memorialize your story is through art. It's a way to connect with others who have gone through something similar and help them heal. Author, artist, and fire survivor Brain Fies and his family were one of the thousands who lost their home during the 2017 Tubbs Fire. Four years later, he still continues to inspire others through his art.    Tune in as Brian relates the painful events of that day and how being an artist enabled him to be a source of strength for his family and others who have gone through the same experience. Jennifer and Brian also discuss the wisdom found in following building codes and landscaping, how climate change plays a huge role in these global wildfires, the demarcations of life before and after the fire, controlling your fire narrative, allowing yourself time to grieve, and the role of an artist in disaster recovery.     As an artist or journalist, you have a powerful voice. Let your story be a source of healing for yourself and your community.

Originally aired on October 5, 2020.This week, there was so much "housekeeping" business to take care of, I made it a whole episode.  Here's the lineup:-I am just about done the title track, "Once Upon a Dream," for the next Thirteenth Hour soundtrack LP.  I finally figured out what was missing from the backing part.  More synth (there's a surprise).  Then it all fit together.  It's odd, in a way, since the beat is fast (120 bpm), but the vocals are actually quite slow, much slower than I anticipated.  So there's an alternating ascending / descending note progression that can be heard in the background (that's the new part) that helps to bridge the gap between the tempo of the beat and the speed of the vocals.  This version can be heard at the end of the episode.-Speaking of synth, check out the weekly podcast, SR Weekly.  Steven, the host, who goes by the alias Synth Redneck, used to host his show on youtube but has since moved it over to an audio only format that is available on major podcasting platforms.  If you check out the 9/16/20 episode, you'll hear The Thirteenth Hour synth orchestra theme as one of the selections in that week's set.  If you're a synth musician yourself, you can submit your music for consideration to be included in a future episode or just check out the lineup with each episode to discover some great new music.-By the way, proceeds from the next Thirteenth Hour LP, Once Upon a Dream, will also be donated to the organization Corazon de Vida (see last week's episode).  If you are also interested in helping to support their mission, learn more at https://www.corazondevida.org/get-involved.  Join me and others at the virtual event that Corazon de Vida is throwing on 10/29/20 at 7 PM PST by clicking on the picture below or here.-Speaking of guests, next week's we'll be hearing from author and illustrator Brian Fies, of works such as What Ever Happened to the World of Tomorrow? for another installment of the Like a Hood Ornament Rocketeer segment.  I hope also to have finished the short story, "The Last Rocketeer" in time for that episode, since they are tied together serendipitously, as we'll discuss in the episode.-Speaking of other creative folks, check out frequent podcast guest Adam of ACToyDesign on Patreon for an exclusive podcast all about toys, including a lot of retro 80s content.-This year, Halloween falls on a Saturday, always a treat when you're a kid (at least it was that way when I was a kid and you could spend all day out collecting bags a bags of candy - one year, I collected two whole pillowcases).  Stay tuned!  I'll try to come up with something special for the end of the month!∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞ Signup for the mailing list for a free special edition podcast, a demo copy of The Thirteenth Hour, and access to retro 80s soundtrack!Like what you see or hear?

Illustrator and author of What Ever Happened To The World Of Tomorrow ? Vintage interview from 2009.

On this episode of the Popzara Podcast our own Nathan Evans talks with Brian about the fire that would change his family's lives forever. The two discuss the lingering effects of survivor's guilt and helplessness, which came flooding back watching the recent inferno that devastated Paris' Notre-Dame Cathedral. Already an Eisner award-winner for his heartfelt 2009 memoir Mom's Cancer, Brian is no stranger in using the power of comics to help make sense of a senseless tragedy.

What can comic art about illness and health care offer patients and families as they navigate health challenges? This month on Ethics Talk, we talk with Brian Fies and Phoebe Potts, the authors of graphic novels about their experiences with health care, about how comic art is a unique and powerful medium for communicating about difficult and emotional encounters with illness and health care.

Time Codes: 00:00:28 - Introduction 00:03:11 - Announcements! 00:09:33 - Blindsprings 00:42:07 - Albert the Alien 01:05:02 - A Fire Story 01:24:02 - Wrap up 01:25:27 - Contact us On the November webcomics episode, Sean and Derek look at three very different titles. They begin with Kadi Fedoruk's Blindsprings, a fantasy filled with magic and spirits, but one whose philosophical foundations are deeper than you may at first think. As the guys point out, the meticulous art is one of the highlights of this webcomic. After that, Sean and Derek turn to a lighthearted all-age series by Trevor Mueller and Gabo, Albert the Alien. Much like Blindsprings, this webcomic has been around since 2013, but there seems to be no foreseeable sign of story exhaustion. Finally, the guys look at a much more somber, and timely, completed webcomic, Brian Fies's A Fire Story. This is a brief account of the author's experiences in last month's devastating California fires. The story is heart-wrenching, and Fies includes commentary and photographs to underscore the full extent of the tragedy. Be sure to visit Brian Fies's blog and click on the banners of his two books, Mom's Cancer and Whatever Happened to the World of Tomorrow?. Your purchase of those works will help support Fies as he and his wife attempt to rebuild their lives.

The Two Guys with PhDs continue their valiant attempt to bring you monthly shows devoted to quality, substantive discussion of webcomics. In this March episode, Derek and Andy W. focus on three distinctive titles, two currently ongoing and one completed webcomic. They begin by looking at S.D. Lockhart and Patibut Narm Preeyawongsakul's Star Punch Girl (and Derek deeply apologizes for butchering Preeyawongsakul's name). This is a different kind of webcomic that has a heavy manga and video gaming influence. This title began in April 2013, and so far the creators have completed the first two chapters. The first establishes the narrative with a creation myth, the titular character forming our world and then protecting it from nefarious forces. In the second chapter Star Punch Girl is invited to Earth and is honored by its worshipful inhabitants. Preeyawongsakul's colors are vibrant and the standout feature of this webcomic. The guys also discuss this series' apparent fan base, believing that it comprises mainly a younger demographic, and then contrast that with readers of the next webcomic they discuss, Brian Fies's The Last Mechanical Man. Readers aware of comics history will especially appreciate this webcomic in that Fies bases it off of an episode of the Fleischer Studio's 1941 episode of their Superman serial, "The Mechanical Monsters." What makes this series so captivating is the elaborate drama that Fies spins from a relatively simple superhero premise, making his story primarily character driven and psychologically thick. Andy and Derek speculate that, as he did with his Eisner Award-winning webcomic, Mom's Cancer, Fies is using the webcomic format to develop and experiment with his story before finalizing it in hardcopy form. This series began in November 2013 and may soon be wrapping up. And while not taking anything way from the other titles, of the three webcomics discussed this week, The Last Mechanical Monster is by far the one that the guys appreciated the most. Finally, Derek and Andy conclude the episode -- as they usually do -- by looking at an already completed webcomic, Bobby Crosby and Sarah Ellerton's Dreamless. This series originally ran from January 2009 to July 2010, and the creators later published a special edition hardcopy of the completed story. This is more of a novella than a novel-like narrative, with Crosby writing in a tightly condensed manner. The guys focus on Ellerton's watercolor-like illustrations, giving the story a soft and emotive tone that underscores the content. In fact, the best way to describe Dreamless is as a melodramatic romance, with an emphasis on the "melodrama." It may not be to everyone's tastes, but as the Two Guys with PhDs point out, if you appreciate a good love story, then this title may be for you.
