Nao Matsumoto [https://naomatsumoto.com/]had a dreamlike ascension as an artist in his 20's, but eventually a lack of sales for his very-expensive-to-make work stalled, so did gallery representation along with it. Today Nao is a a successful wood worker + fabricator, happily married father of 2children 7+9, with an artist wife, Lori and a shared art gallery, Lorimoto. [https://www.lorimoto.com/] We talk about his art practice today, how hiis fabrication feeds him and the long-term affects of his foray into the gallery world. If you want to hear an authentic view of the real ups and downs a professional artist in the art world, Nao shares his experience without hesitation. Check out more about Nao HERE.

DLG1125_Joseph Arthur is on tour and enjoying life now more than ever.

Joseph Arthur's has worked hard, evolved and shares the value he's found in forgiveness. Joseph Arthur is a well known and respected musician. Joseph grew up in Dayton, Ohio, the son of a lawyer father and insurance salesman mother. It seems as if Joseph had a lot of conflict with his parents, but has some thoughtful things to say about forgiveness. He is someone who works hard on himself, physically, emotionally and spiritually. His creative work is instinctual whether it's songwriting, music,, poetry or visual art. Joseph Arthur started working in high school with a band of guys all older than him, 5 nights a week making  a good living so he never went to college or even needing to look for a side job. An outspoken voice about his opinions about vaccines during the pandemic, along with the birth of his daughter around the same time, affected his career and recharged it. His opportunity to revisit his career and opened a lot of new doors and he's now enjoying life now more than ever. https://josepharthur.com/ #josepharthur @joseph_arthur [https://www.instagram.com/joseph_arthur/?hl=en#] Song/Video RISE [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PBeJ2MB4-3g] Current Tour [https://www.google.com/search?q=joseph+arthur&oq=joseph+arthur&gs_lcrp=EgZjaHJvbWUqCggAEAAY4wIYgAQyCggAEAAY4wIYgAQyBwgBEC4YgAQyBwgCEAAYgAQyBwgDEAAYgAQyBwgEEC4YgAQyBggFEEUYPDIGCAYQRRg8MgYIBxBFGDzSAQg3OTAxajBqNKgCALACAQ&sourceid=chrome&ie=UTF-8#wptab=si:APYL9bu5vNv2Bp3YUWePe-iW2vQoKVF3UaTP5Ti5udbvXSq8XNyO1vO5stXGHCZttj3T2LbgBTRNSdh-yYqSDtPlCqAqHLiw-vy_CA4LpTOqPXctsrSstdZFQwhCNSGk8GoJX-onDoNa]

DLG400 Gabe Panchero, Funhouse Comedy and how Gabe got to be so Gabe..

About 12 years ago Gabe Panchero [https://www.instagram.com/gabepac1/] and Sameer Naseem [https://www.instagram.com/sameermon/]launched their own comedy show, Funhouse Comedy [https://www.instagram.com/funhousecomedy/]. After a two year run at Passenger Bar, the bar closed and for the past 10 years, it's been running at Pete's Candy Store [https://www.petescandystore.com/]. At the time of this session, Funhouse has about 2 weeks left at Pete's. Gabe talks about the ideas that formed Funhouse, the prized life experience it's been, and what's in mind next for the show. Stay tuned! I learned a lot from Gabe and how his childhood made him who he is today, a hilarious, thought provoking comedian and a proud bi-lingual Chicano. His father is a social worker, the child of Mexican Migrant workers, his mother a lawyer, working with MALDEF, the Mexican-American Legal Defense Fund. Gabe was taught by monks, which Dr. Lisa feels had a profound affect on his view of life—he's unusually level-headed. He's never been to therapy though he seems to possess robust coping skills. We also explore Gabe's ideas about relationships which is well considered and thought-provoking. Website: https://www.gabepacheco.com/ Bio: Gabe Pacheco, originally from Washington, DC, is an actor, comedian, host, friend, and roving academic. He’s an entertainer who inspires you to think, moments after you’ve already laughed. A bilingual performer with progressive leanings, watching 10 minutes of Gabe on stage  can feel like you’ve smoked a joint of Ghost Train Haze sativa and mockingly laughed at headlines from the Sunday Times. Animated, literate, and with a touch of sly post-Millennium wit, Gabe shimmies and flickers his way through a set. No one gyrates their hips better to the notion of the world crumbling around us, and no one better evokes the spirit of norteño music with the message of early-80’s DC hardcore. It’s comedy that is steeped in the present, while hoping for a less ridiculous future. With a decade of experience on the NYC scene under his belt, Gabe has appeared on stages as big as Caroline’s, as experimental as The Creek & The Cave, and as buzzed about as the Knitting Factory. He’s been accepted into the Asheville Comedy Festival and the Accidental Comedy Festival. He’s shared insights on Sirius XM’s “Tell Me Everything with John Fugelsang” and “Affirmative Reaction with Xorje Olivares”, while also sitting in as the permanent guest host of the widely popular, left-wing humor and journalism podcast, “The Katie Halper Show”. Gabe has trained at the UCB Theater in NYC and is a veteran in the Story Pirates Acting Company, preparing him for his starring role in the short film “Leaves in Autumn”, which was screened at the Anthology Film Archives (NYC) as part of the New Filmmakers Festival in 2018. Gabe Pacheco is a performer. And a storyteller. And an informed bystander of the seemingly never-ending spectacle of current world affairs and humanity that demand our attention...moments after we’ve already laughed.
