A LINEAGE OF THE REAL AND THE AUTHENTIC. Luc Tuymans is a Belgian visual artist, many of whose paintings explore people's relationship with history and confront their ability to ignore it. World War II and the horrors of the Holocaust is a recurring theme in his many faceted work. Tuymans is a key figure of the generation of European figurative painters who gained renown at a time when many believed the medium had lost its relevance due to the new digital age. “I want the feeling of doing something special” “For young artists now, it is very strenuous and very difficult” “There's a big difference between a drawn line and a painted line”

"Are you gonna paint that, or feel that?" Sydney G. James drops that kind of heat in this no-holds-barred Detroit is Different conversation. She brings the stories behind the Blackout Walls, the politics of public art, and the legacy of Black family in Detroit into vivid focus. “People don't understand—when I painted at MOCAD, folks walked in and said, ‘This feel like Grandma's house.' That's art!” Sydney shares her journey from drawing cartoons at three to setting visual standards with murals that honor, heal, and celebrate Detroit. “We need pamphlets with every house in Conant Gardens,” she says, lifting up the deep lineage of culture in neighborhoods dismissed as 'red zones.' From Cass Tech to CCS, from LA TV sets to East Side lots, this episode is a masterclass in keeping it real, bold, and Black in the city that raised her. “I didn't paint next to another Black woman until I hired her,” she reveals—making clear why Black women artists must not just be included but lead.

For the season 4 premiere we talk to lettering legend and muralist Ximena Jiménez. Born in Cali, Colombia, she moved to Argentina in 2014 to study graphic design in Buenos Aires where she fell in love with hand-lettering. Today she creates lettering for brands, paints murals for cafés and restaurants, gives workshops across the globe, and live-paints on jackets at festivals. Her lettering work is raw, dynamic, expressive and immediate while effortlessly conveying important messages about equality, self-care and mental health. After moving to Bogotá—one of the graffiti capitals of the world—she discovered street art and started experimenting with spray cans. Ximena explains how the city has influenced her work as a muralist and gives us a detailed description of her process of creating her signature large-scale, hand-lettered murals using spray paint. Hint: “caps” and “cutting” are a thing, apparently. Throughout the conversation Ximena reflects on the importance of political and personal messages in her art and how she has gained more confidence through therapy and self-reflection. She describes the balance between personal and political art and the value of giving herself permission to take risks. Lastly, Ximena generously shares her social media strategy of focusing on her community rather than viral content to maintain her artistic integrity. Go check out this engaging conversation with one of the best letterers of our time and make sure to tell all your type-obsessed friends about it! _________MENTIONED LINKS: • Berlin Letters Festival • University of Buenos Aires: Faculty of Architecture, Design and Urbanism • Fileteado Porteño (Argentinian sign-painting style) • Bogotá Graffiti Tour • LetterWest 2026 • Circus Network (Gallery from Porto, Portugal) _________FOLLOW XIMENA: Instagram: @jimenezletteringTikTok: @jimenezletteringWebsite: jimenezlettering.comOnline Shop: jimenezlettering.com/tienda_________If you liked this episode, please subscribe and leave a review.

This week's episode on the Artist Academy Podcast is all about mural meetups—what they are, how I plan them, and why they've become one of my favorite ways to mix art with adventure. I'm sharing stories from recent trips to Florida, Costa Rica, Mexico, Barcelona, and St. Croix, where I teamed up with other artists to paint murals in exchange for accommodations (yes, you can trade your talent for a tropical stay :palm_tree::art:). We'll dive into how I find these opportunities—spoiler: Facebook groups are gold—and the real talk about what can go wrong, from flaky hosts to surprise logistical curveballs. Plus, I'm breaking down what I've learned from each experience to help you plan your own paint-and-travel adventure. If the idea of creating art in a beautiful location with like-minded artists lights you up, this episode is for you. Wanna join the Missouri Mural Meetup?

Limb Loss Awareness Month 2025 Colorado State University: MediFlex Prosthetics LLC   CSU MediFlex Prosthetics team   Here we are again for the month of April and bringing awareness to the Limb Loss/Limb Difference community. Every year, in the month of April, I shift gears on my podcast and create a theme centered on the amputee community and interview people versus talking from my personal experience. Each year I have met some amazing people from doctors, to athletes, to innovators and entrepreneurs. This year I am excited to announce the future of our community, students! Each of the 5 weeks of April I have students, of varying levels of their education, from all across our nation, talking about what they are studying, inventing, building, and perfecting in the prosthetic world. We have undergraduates to PhD students, all of whom are spending their college careers, and life after, making our community a better place by creating the next generation of products meant to allow us to live fuller lives as amputees.   Today, I am excited to introduce Garrison Hayes and Eric Gutierrez-Camacho, two of the five student team from Colorado State University, they are the founders of MediFlex Prosthetics LLC and their creation is part of their senior project at CSU.                     The work they do focuses primarily around 3D printed feet modules for amputees, both above knee and below knee. Their idea, which I will allow them to explain, is a tough, indestructible foot that allows for more energy return to the user. This could be life changing, not to mention energy saving! So many of us already struggle with moving around for long periods of time due to fit or phantom pains, but we also deal with exhaustion due to a loss of energy as our foot hits the ground, giving nothing back.   Internal carbon fiber skeleton of foot   3D printed foot shell that is built in sections for ease of replacing portion that might wear down over time     Garrison, a lead in the creation of this foot, is also an amputee. He has been able to trial each prototype and give instant feedback from an amputee's true perspective. A vital component when making a new prosthesis before marketing it. This team of students has created an LLC to continue building, bettering, and supplying this type of equipment to our amputee community well after their college careers end. Their goal is to make their product quick to get and affordable for everyone.                                 As they formulated their ideas and worked around getting large 3D printers to create such strong feet with high quality materials they have also been competing in this field with their product and I am excited to say that this past weekend they received an overall 1st place finish at the Murals competition at CSU for their product The Goldilocks Foot. Way to go,Team!!   These students are just one example of the intensely competitive world of biomedical and medical engineering that can be found in our universities around the nation. Each team, each level, building off of other projects, creating all new ideas, and researching the field of prosthesis and a deeper level, all in all, working towards making the life of an amputee as comfortable, balanced, and natural as they once were with the part they are missing. This month, I want you to make sure to like, share and subscribe to my podcast as we go deeper into the world of engineering for the amputee community and what these inspiring students are bringing to the table. If you would like to watch the whole interview it can be found on my YouTube channel The future is NOW!

Murals by The Most Unknown Podcast

How do you turn mural painting into a thriving art business?

On this episode of the California Now Podcast, host Soterios Johnson dives into the best of Sacramento's food, culture, and outdoor scene with three expert insiders. First up, Johnson is joined by Benjy Egel, the food and drinks writer for The Sacramento Bee. Egel explains how the area's agricultural abundance helps fuel its thriving farm-to-fork dining scene. “So much of the U.S.'s produce comes from the Sacramento region and the Central Valley as a whole, and so we have this wealth of tomatoes and asparagus and even caviar here in the region,” says Egel. He then dives into where to grab some local good eats, from neighborhood favorites in Little Saigon to Michelin-starred joints in Midtown. Next, Johnson is joined by Ashley Shult Langdon, author of Mildly Scenic, a trail guide to Sacramento's Lower American River. The outdoor enthusiast and longtime Sacramentan describes what aspects of the river continue to surprise and delight. “Just within a 10-minute walk from the city, you can feel like you're out in the wilderness,” says Langdon. Langdon gets into her favorite spots and the family activities that visitors can enjoy along the lower half of the American River.    Last, Johnson talks arts and culture with Hillary Louise Johnson of Sactown Magazine. The seasoned writer discusses Sacramento's growing creative landscape. “There's such a density of public art [in Midtown], in part because Sacramento's pretty mural-crazy,” says Johnson. She then goes on a culture-fueled walking tour throughout the city's artsy neighborhoods with stops for coffee and shopping along the way.

An astonishing variety of murals greet visitors to the temples and palaces of southern India. Beautiful in execution and extensive in scope, murals painted on walls and ceilings adorn the most important spaces of early modern religious and political performance. Scene by scene, histories of holy sites, portraits that incorporate historical figures into mythic landscapes, and Tamil and Telugu inscriptions that evoke the imagined topographies of devotional poetry unfold before the mobile spectator. Body, History, Myth reconceives the relationship between art and devotion in South India by describing how the extraordinary sensory experience of a viewing body in motion unfurls a sacred narrative exquisitely designed to teach, impress, and inspire. Anna Lise Seastrand offers new insights into the arts of early modern southern India, bringing to life one of the most culturally vibrant yet least understood periods in Indian art. She shows how temple visitors become active participants in the paintings through their somatic engagement with visual stories and devotional landscapes. Seastrand highlights the significance of textuality in early modern South Asia by examining the status of professional scribes and the prominence given to authorship of religious literature and art. Her insights are presented alongside new translations of the texts that accompany mural paintings. Featuring a wealth of stunning images published here for the first time, Body, History, Myth: Early Modern Murals in South India (Princeton UP, 2024) provides a multidimensional reading of temple art that fundamentally reframes the artistic, intellectual, religious, and political histories of early modern India.

Beautiful in execution and extensive in scope, murals painted on walls and ceilings adorn the most important spaces of early modern religious and political performance. Scene by scene, histories of holy sites, portraits that incorporate historical figures into mythic landscapes, and Tamil and Telugu inscriptions that evoke the imagined topographies of devotional poetry unfold before the mobile spectator. Body, History, Myth reconceives the relationship between art and devotion in South India by describing how the extraordinary sensory experience of a viewing body in motion unfurls a sacred narrative exquisitely designed to teach, impress, and inspire. Anna Lise Seastrand offers new insights into the arts of early modern southern India, bringing to life one of the most culturally vibrant yet least understood periods in Indian art. She shows how temple visitors become active participants in the paintings through their somatic engagement with visual stories and devotional landscapes. Seastrand highlights the significance of textuality in early modern South Asia by examining the status of professional scribes and the prominence given to authorship of religious literature and art. Her insights are presented alongside new translations of the texts that accompany mural paintings. Featuring a wealth of stunning images published here for the first time, Body, History, Myth: Early Modern Murals in South India (Princeton UP, 2024) provides a multidimensional reading of temple art that fundamentally reframes the artistic, intellectual, religious, and political histories of early modern India.

Welcome to the daily304 – your window into Wonderful, Almost Heaven, West Virginia.   Today is Sunday, Feb. 23, 2025  Jackson County's new metals plant hosts a progress tour…artist Kelson Thorne's murals brighten communities across the state…and West Virginia's own Jennifer Garner makes Variety's list of best TV performances of the 21st century…on today's daily304. #1 – From WOWK-TV – The future of metalmaking is slowly taking shape in Jackson County. TIMET, also known as Titanium Metals Corporation, is one step closer to building a plant where furnaces will be used to melt and process titanium. The plant hosted a tour earlier this month to show their progress since last year's groundbreaking. They are expected to start melting metal in the fall. Leaders said the facility will be the “first of its kind.” The plant will use renewable solar energy through a partnership with BHE Renewables. When operations are officially up and running, it will create two hundred jobs for the local economy.

A Petersburg resident and WVU graduate, he strives to use his art to make his community a better place. One way he does that is through the Folk Around Appalachian Arts and Music Festival, something he has hosted twice via his art company, Art Junkie. He's already working on the third event, planned for this coming June. Thorne says the festival will be combined with a Petersburg Art Week, taking it from a one-day event to two days. The goal is to celebrate the community with an emphasis on Appalachian arts—which includes musical acts and those specializing in fine arts. Thorne's first mural was for a resident of Westover, across the river from Morgantown. He had never done a large-scale project but, to get the job, he says, he told the client he'd figure it out. Figure it out he did: Murals have since become a big focus for him. Many of his murals can be found spread throughout Petersburg, with others found in Keyser and Marlinton.

Garner's performance as Sydney Bristow on “Alias” was number 54 on Variety's list of “The 100 Greatest TV Performances of the 21st Century.” The list only features scripted shows that started on or after Jan. 1, 2000. Since “Alias,” Garner has become Hollywood royalty with performances in films like “Deadpool & Wolverine,” “Juno” and “13 Going on 30.” In 2018, she received a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame, making her the fifth West Virginian to have one.
