Podcast appearances and mentions of Paul Sahre

Hi everyone! Today I'm speaking with Joe Hollier, Co-Founder of Light -> a minimalistic, non-addictive smartphone alternative. For those of you who have known me for a while I've been on a long-time mission to become more intention with the information I'm taking in and to cultivate more focus and flow into my day. Partner that with my long-time meditation practice and over the past few years it has become obvious to me that my phone... as convenient as it is... is definitely part of a larger problem.This year I "upgraded" to a Lightphone and started to set more serious boundaries with my phone. I noticed that on retreats/vacations/weekends when I don't have a traditional smartphone on me I feel more focused, intentional, and peaceful. On days when I am on my phone a lot I feel overwhelmed, more anxious, and "rushing" non-stop. I also found it more difficult to participate in things I loved: reading, learning, and tapping into that state of "deep focus".Well, it turns out I'm not alone. According to recent research: Checking phones has become so prevalent that more than 40 percent of consumers said they look at the devices within five minutes of waking up, according to a 2016 survey by Deloitte. Fifty percent said they check them in the middle of the night. “The brain starts learning how to switch rapidly from one task to another to another,” says William Klemm, senior professor of neuroscience at Texas A&M University and author of Teach Your Kids How to Learn. “It becomes a habit. But this habit conflicts with focused attentiveness.” Y'all, IDK about you but I don't feel good feeling so distracted - I want more peace and a sense of calm groundedness in my day-to-day. Enter Light - and this conversation.  What we talk about: Joe and Kaiwei's journey of creating a "light" phone in the era of "more is more" (more apps, more features, more addiction)What it was like building towards a very polarizing vision: the challenge of fundraising in an era where smartphones were all the rage & VC's were looking for "hockey stick" growthThe power of community: bringing customers along the journey of building a complex, multi-year hardware tech product (How crowdfunding made all the difference)The research behind going light + the benefits seen from case studies like schools that went 100% light phone and the benefits seen from customersWhat "actually" makes smartphones addictive?Why "screentime" often isn't enoughJoe's own journey of cultivating an "intentional" life (as an artist and multidisciplinary designer)What Joe predicts the future of social might look like AND tech companies he's loving these days+ so much more!About Joe:I'm a multi-disciplinary artist and entrepreneur. I studied design at the School of Visual Arts and graduated as the valedictorian. I started a design studio & skateboard company called Five on That, working as an animator, film maker, and illustrator mostly. I was also selling and exhibiting my painting and collage work. The Smithsonian commissioned a short film called "Diary". Other clients include Nike, CNN, the Lincoln Center, Debbie Millman, Office of Paul Sahre and Sagmeister & Walsh.

Erik Carter is a graphic designer and art director running an independent practice based in New York City. He's previously worked as an art director at Google, a senior designer at MTV, an art director for The New York Times, and as a designer at the Office of Paul Sahre. His clients include The New Yorker, The New York Times, Verso Books, and New Directions. He is currently a visiting professor at Pratt Institute and has taught at the California College of the Arts. He also writes about "Typography. Color. Capitalism. Chaos." in his newsletter Design Harder.In this conversation, we discuss graphic design's rooting in capitalism and how that impacts how we teach design in the classroom. As well as how we are helping design students think critically about their work's impact on culture.

Join me, poet and podcaster Avren Keating and photographers Eve Gasse and Ian Hutchings to discuss Brian Karlsson's photography and Paul Sahre's typography in the book of BOOK.

This is a very special episode for me. Firstly, because of my guest, a great reference for me as a designer. Second, because it wasn't planned. Let me explain: earlier this year I was invited to curate a project called Voices From the Atelier for the Porto Design Biennale. It consisted of the definition of 6 themes for which I invited designers to speak. In this context, I was pleased to receive Paul Sahre's words on the subject of Memory.What started out as a very objective conversation, about a very specific topic, quickly turned into something that is impossible not to share. Instead of spending 20 minutes chatting, we had to interrupt after 1:30 talking about design and the life of a designer. Paul Sahre is a graphic designer, illustrator and author from New York City and New Jersey. He is a frequent visual contributor to the New York Times, has designed several book covers and has built and destroyed a life-size monster truck hearse made entirely of cardboard and Epson prints for the band They Might be Giants. I feel like stealing Magritte and saying that, with a dose of surrealism, this is not an interview. It's a conversation between two people who love what they do and who share a special taste for guitars. This is, in fact, where this conversation begins. 

At this point, the almost four decades strong and multi-Grammy award winning They Might Be Giants deserve legendary status. Twenty-three albums deep, plus musical collaborations with Disney, The Spongebob Squarepants musical and the beloved Malcolm In The Middle theme song. Headliner chats to John Linell, one half of the duo about the band's latest creative reinvention as they release their latest album Book - which, as the name alludes to, accompanies a stunning companion book in collaboration with Brooklyn photographer Brian Karlsson and celebrated graphic designer Paul Sahre.

They Might Be Giants have a new album and art book available now - both entitled "Book." The book "Book" was born through a series of brainstorms with longtime TMBG collaborator and legendary graphic designer Paul Sahre. "Book" finds TMBG expanding their world-view through multiple mediums while continuing to refine their songwriting craft. Two-time Grammy winners, TMBG started with Dial-A-Song Service powered by a lone phone machine out of their Brooklyn apartments, since then they have made 23 albums and have infiltrated your television sets with original themes and incidental music for numerous shows and commercials. They have a new song every day on their smartphone app. John Linnell joins us.

John Flansburgh (They Might Be Giants) joins Jordan and Jesse for a discussion of how drinking coffee when he moved to New York may have changed his life, the miniature taxidermy figures that John and Jesse share an affinity for, and the story behind the incredible TMBG song Robot Parade. Plus, John tells us all about the new They Might be Giants album out called BOOK and the accompanying art book that has art by Paul Sahre that was hand-typed on an IBM Selectric typewriter.  They Might Be Giants' new music and incredible art book project BOOK is OUT NOW!! Check it out here!Check out the video for the new song "Part of Your Wants to Believe Me" here!

Jordan talks to the They Might Be Giants cofounder about the group's new album 'BOOK' and the 144-page hardcover volume that accompanies it, which features original work by Brooklyn street photographer Brian Karlsonn alongside song lyrics and typographic illustrations by graphic designer Paul Sahre. They also discuss the upcoming tour celebrating the (belated) 30th anniversary of TMBG's breakthrough album 'Flood,' the artistic merits of city living versus country living, and some serious Beatle nerdery.  Learn more about your ad-choices at https://www.iheartpodcastnetwork.com

We are what we do, especially what we do to change what we are, wrote Eduardo Galleano on his Voices of Time book. Memory is directly linked to imagination. We are shaped by the memory of ancient practices, habits and modes of living. Facing a dark scenario regarding what living in our cities might be in a very near future, many people are looking back at old practices and also moving to rural environments. Design is based on memories, whether visual, physical, sensory, ethnographic and cultural. It has been an important tool in the assertion of identities but also, we must not ignore the role that design has played in sustaining civilizational models where justice is anything but blind. Focusing on this aspect of design, I invited the designer and professor Paul Sahre and the cultural researcher, designer and editor of DEEM Journal, Alice Grandoit.

Today's guest is Paul Sahre. He is a graphic designer at his studio OOPS - Office of Paul Sahre. He is also the art director for the band They Might be Giants and an Author of the book Two Dimensional Man. During this episode we talk about: -his unique path to starting OOPS Studio. -how he was always creative as a kid but it wasn't until his dad handed him a certain book that pointed him to graphic design. -the workshop he was at in Switzerland that was really influential to him and why. -what he misses about his days of creating lots of print design. -the wide variety of tangible design stuff he creates for the band, including a giant pink cardboard monster truck. -the struggles he faced right after finishing school. -projects where he was really excited to show his ideas to the client but they were not as excited. I really enjoyed chatting with Paul and I love the print-related ask-it-forward question that he has in the end. @psahre

This is the first part of an amusing talk with American graphic designer Paul Sahre, well known for his book cover designs and illustrations for the NY Times. When we asked him about his earliest memory of graphic design, he shares a story about his mother and a scary ink drawing of a demon beast that he drew when he was around 12 years old. Being a parent himself, he tells us how this is changing his way of working as a designer and how it affected his traveling. We were curious if he actually reads all the books he’s designing covers for and if he thinks there will be any book covers left to design in the future.

In this second part of the Paul Sahre interview, he tells us how being a teacher gives him a lot of inspiration, which is his selfish reason of being a teacher in the first place. He thinks the digitalization of the design culture will actually give the traditional way of the tangible graphic design a huge boost; few, but happier designers! We ask him about the crazy deadlines for NY Times illustrations and he tells us about the importance of setting rules for graphic design. Humour is something you can find in a lot of Paul’s work, so we ask him how serious he takes himself as a designer and ofcourse: how he would like to be remembered.
