Ep. 90 Curtis Glover

Curtis and I sat down to catch up. He's done some traveling and some really cool projects since he was last featured on the program. We dig into some projects, how travel changes your headspace, and a bit of what its like to be an artist in art spaces around art people. If you wanna catch Curtis Glover on the web you'll see him on instagram @curtisglovercreative [https://www.instagram.com/curtisglovercreative/?hl=en]

Ep.89 NEGATORY GALLERY

Knoxville is rich in artists that don’t have an outlet to showcase their work outside of bars or coffee shops or other businesses that aren’t art-specific or associated with a university or other outside entity; there are other great galleries that have funding and we certainly don’t want to disparage them! Some of them are also doing great things. But we are looking to give voices and visibility to artists that might otherwise be unseen. We curate the shows based on how we can uplift Knoxville artists - visually and sonically - on an inclusive platform that we haven’t seen in existence for a long time. You can find the NEGATORY GALERY online at @negatory_gallery [https://www.instagram.com/negatory_gallery/] so keep an eye out for their show announcements. These folks are after my own heart trying to uplift and shine light on artists who are underrepresented in the area. The stuff that disturbs the comfortable and that's what I'm all about.

Ep. 88 Luke Love

Luke Love is on a journey and we talk about it. Luke and I go over the origin story of our paths crossing just a little, we talk about his path through art and his relationship with being an artist. His really complicated relationship with brushes also comes to light. He's a delightful human and He's currently exploring his artistry in a way that I find is really whimsical and entertaining. Give it a listen, go check out his work on display this month at The Holistic Connection on Gay St, Knoxville. He will be there today (12/13) live painting and being his awesome self. You can catch him on the web @lukelove_artworks [https://www.instagram.com/lukelove_artwork/?hl=en] Also if you wanna snag a hoodie like mine and mentioned in the episode go here: RedZacharyCreative [https://www.etsy.com/listing/1763104230/unisex-kaanp-logo-hoodie?click_key=dd6ca399b5208c1f40e86cb7351fa360c259fac4%3A1763104230&click_sum=bec9b558&ref=shop_home_active_1] Thank you all so much for listening, that's the last episode of the year. Cya soon!

Ep. 87 Mallory Cowan

Mallory and I sat down to have a chat about where she's at in life, the ethos and origin or her unique style, a bit of backstory on her education and adjacent interests in her life. This was a very enjoyable, warm, open and frankly blunt conversation about art and life, just how I like em. I hope you all enjoy it as well. Big thanks to my sponsor, their info is below.
