It's the first solo episode of the season! I had to do a Boonie 5 Spot! We dive into the world of vision boards and offer an alternative approach.

Do they exist? I am on the lookout for new ways to unwind and enjoy myself without breaking the bank. A transcript of the full episode is available here.

In this episode, Boonie is joined by our problematic favorite, Brian. We start the conversation by drawing comparisons between Baltimore and Houston and discussing how people in Houston have a better understanding of where to go for fun. We both believe Baltimore has the potential for a vibrant nightlife scene that black Baltimoreans deserve. Shifting gears, Brian discusses the attraction he finds in designs on women's nails—heaux nails versus bad bitch nails. The conversation then leads to the importance of good sex in a relationship. If the sex isn't great, Boonie and Brian know they'll eventually cheat, and they don't want to cheat or play games with someone's feelings at this stage of their lives.  A transcript of the full episode is available here.

In this episode, Boonie and guest KG discuss their favorite albums of 2023. This was a tough year for narrowing down favorite albums, especially in the hip-hop genre. We chat about our favorite songs from the year, including Tyrese's "Don't Think You Ever Loved Me," SZA's "Snooze," and Justin Bieber's "Moments." We also discuss Anais Cardot's "Colors," which we find joy and beauty in despite not understanding the French lyrics. Boonie and KG chat about their favorite albums like No Name's "Sundial" and Summer Walker's "Clear 2," and personal picks such as October London's "Rebirth."  Finally, we wrap up by chatting about Victoria Monet's album "Jaguar," appreciating its well-blended body of work from an artist who has been in the industry for a long time. We wrap up the episode by chatting about Beyonce, Andre 3000, Usher, Taylor Swift, Ozempic, and 2024. Oh, and yes, Boonie still has hope that new music is coming from Rihanna.  A transcript of the full episode is available here. The hashtag for the podcast #TheBoonieBreakdown.

Hi everyone. I hope you are doing well. I want to first say my heart goes out to the University of Nevada, Las Vegas community following the tragic shooting that occurred on December 6th. Through the podcast, I had the privilege of connecting with many at UNLV and my thoughts are with you all.It's important to acknowledge that while prayers and sympathies are extended, they can only do so much in the face of the ongoing issues surrounding gun violence and the accessibility of firearms. This recent event is but one of the many somber reminders of the urgent need for meaningful change in gun control. How exactly to do this I myself am still figuring out in a country still glorifying guns.This incident ties into some of the concerns I'll be discussing with this week's guest, Ali Fathollahi, an Iranian artist currently residing in Las Vegas. A few weeks ago, I had the opportunity to speak with Ali's wife, Nanda, and you can listen to that conversation as well. Ali holds a Master of Fine Arts from the University of Nevada, Las Vegas and went to the Azad University of Art and Architecture in Tehran, Iran for his Bachelor of Arts and his first Master of Fine Arts.Ali works in a wide variety of mediums, such as sculpture, light, and performance. In recent years, his work has critically examined the contemporary obsession with "Survivalism," both as a lifestyle and an ideology, often driven by fear and nostalgia. During our conversation, we delve into topics such as the challenges of language, the use of humor as a coping mechanism, and how pop culture influences our fascination with survival kits. As always, stay safe and healthy and I hope you enjoy this.Photo by Mikayla Whitmore.Links Mentioned:Ali's Instagram Max JobraniFollow Seeing Color:Seeing Color WebsiteSubscribe on Apple PodcastsFacebookTwitterInstagram

In this episode, Boonie is in conversation with Sam Smith of New Vintage By Sam. We discuss various aspects of style, including personal style development and the significance of clothing as a form of self-expression. Sam explains the importance of staying true to one's style and not conforming to societal expectations. Sam even shares how to regularly purge closets of items that no longer serve a purpose and make space for new ones. We discuss the importance of feeling comfortable in what we wear and making the most of existing pieces through creativity and styling hacks. We also explore the psychology behind purchasing branded items and the value we place on them. Additionally, we discuss the idea of buying preloved bags as a more affordable option and the potential profitability of renting designer bags for photoshoots. We also discuss the allure of sexy attire, the power of fabrics and scents in creating a sensual atmosphere, and the speaker's personal preference for silk robes and warm fragrances.

Hi everyone. I hope you are doing well. Winter is upon us. Classes are almost for me and I am looking forward to the holiday season. For this week, I had a wonderful chat with Eri King, an interdisciplinary artist working in various modes such as installation, sculpture, textiles, painting, drawing, video, sound, and performance. Born in Japan and growing up in Las Vegas, Eri fell into her art career while attending the University of Las Vegas, where she received a concentration in Studio Art and Art History, before completing her MFA at Hunter College in 2018. Eri and I had a ton of overlap within our art circles and it was great to learn more about her and her work. We discuss finding and creating art communities in affordable spaces, holding zen in Hot Cheetos, having Beyonce as Hunter College's neighbor, and secret paintings. As always, stay safe and healthy and I hope you enjoy this.Links Mentioned:Eri's WebsiteEri's InstagramAddiction by Design: Machine Gambling in Las VegasEri's "Lined and Torn" ExhibitionEri's "The Emotional Show" ExhibitionFollow Seeing Color:Seeing Color WebsiteSubscribe on Apple PodcastsFacebookTwitterInstagram

In this week's episode, Boonie is joined by the homie Shika! We do a sh*t that hits different episode featuring the classic Love Jones. We express our disappointment with the movie, discussing how it lacks the drama we were hoping for. We even mention the poetry snap era and how we're glad we didn't experience it. Later in the discussion, we explain the shift in our mindset towards relationships as we've grown older, becoming more cautious and less excited. We take responsibility for being comfortable in our own space and admitting that actively dating is not a priority. Despite not fitting the conventional mold, we maintain hope for the future but are not currently focused on dating.  A transcript of the full episode is available here.

Hi everyone. I hope you are doing well. These recent days have been shrouded in a somber tone, although perhaps it has always been. I am both saddened and angered by what is happening in the Middle East. As a method to cope through it all, I am trying to keep busy and seek solace in my daily activities. Wherever you are, I hope you are finding your own ways to navigate this insane situation. With that all said, today I am interviewing Quindo Miller. Quindo spent their formative years in Guam before moving to Las Vegas. They earned a BFA at the University of Nevada, Las Vegas, and explores isolation, rituals, and repetition through the medium of painting, drawing, installation, video, and sound. They have exhibited at venues such as the Goldwell Open Air Museum, 5th Wall Gallery, La Matadora Gallery, and the Las Vegas Contemporary Art Center. Our discussions lead us to empty tarot cards, musing about art residencies, the process of archiving everything, and documenting a sense of place. So please, wherever you are, be safe, take care of yourself, and I hope you enjoy this.Links Mentioned:Quindo's WebsiteQuindo's InstagramFollow Seeing Color:Seeing Color WebsiteSubscribe on Apple PodcastsFacebookTwitterInstagram

The conversation touches on Brian's role in creating all the content and his efforts to be inclusive in terms of casting. Brian emphasizes the importance of representation for underrepresented groups, particularly Black women, in his work. He also distinguishes BlkTouch as a different space for artists rather than competing with platforms like OnlyFans, emphasizing the focus on ethical porn that prioritizes consent and well-being. In the final part of the conversation, Boonie and Brian discuss future projects, such as verbal dominance and further exploration of the glory hole concept. Boonie emphasizes the importance of execution and having an audience. They also address their focus on serving and resonating with the audience rather than chasing industry recognition. Brian even shares some of his favorite scenes and projects, along with upcoming additions to the website. The conversation concludes with a reminder to sign up for a subscription and explore the films, along with contact information for BlkTouch on various platforms.

Hello everyone. I hope you are doing well. We are on to the second episode of this fall season, this time with Noelle Garcia. Based in the Chicago area, Noelle is an artist and educator who focuses on themes of identity, family history, and recovered narratives in her work. She is an indigenous artist from the Klamath and Paiute tribes. She earned her Bachelor of Fine Arts from the School of the Art Institute of Chicago, and her Master of Fine Arts from the University of Nevada Las Vegas. Noelle has earned awards and fellowships at various institutions such as the Smithsonian's National Museum of the American Indian, the Nevada Arts Council, the Illinois Arts Council, and the American Indian Graduate Center. I had a good time re-listening to our conversation as we discussed how motherhood informed Noelle's beadwork, the ownership of stories, and deciding who to sell one's trauma to. As usual, relax and I hope you enjoy this.Links Mentioned:Noelle's WebsiteNoelle's InstagramEdgar Heap of BirdsTrail of TearsMaternal Perspectives ExhibitionTending Tender ExhibitionCenter For Native Futures and Indigenous ResearchFollow Seeing Color:Seeing Color WebsiteSubscribe on Apple PodcastsFacebookTwitterInstagram

Hey everyone. Wow, it has been a while since my last episode. Life kinda happened and I just needed another break to deal with some moving and life changes. I'm back with 10 new episodes that will be released over the course of the coming year in conjunction with local Las Vegas artists. A few things about my life since. I started doing some VR with Unreal and I was able to show it in this year's Ars Electronica. At the same time, I got to travel around a bit in Austria with my parents. Just two weeks ago, I traveled back to China for my Ph.D. in Computational Media and Arts, which I talked a bit about with my guest today, Krystal Ramirez. Krystal is an interdisciplinary artist and educator from Las Vegas, Nevada. Her practice focuses on our relationship with places of reverence and devotion. She has a BFA in Photography and Studio Art from the University of Las Vegas, Nevada and she recently received her MFA in Art Practice from Stanford University. She has shown in museums and galleries throughout the United States, including the Nevada Museum of Art (Reno, NV), Barrick Museum of Art (Las Vegas, NV), NMSU Art Museum (Las Cruces, NM), SOMArts (San Francisco, CA), and Gallery 400 (Chicago, IL.) Through our conversation, we discussed our interests in photography, the instability of language, and the possibility of working with our parents in art. As always, stay safe, and relax, and I hope you enjoy this.Links Mentioned:Krystal's WebsiteInstagramSpivak's Can The Subaltern Speak?Follow Seeing Color:Seeing Color WebsiteSubscribe on Apple PodcastsFacebookTwitterInstagram
