This week I'm in the Catskills talking with my favorite Irishman, photographer Leon Carter. We're talking about our experience working in the photo industry. We're also discussing if it's the right path to peruse your dreams in the art world head on or to get an art adjacent job and work your way in. Also while we're having this discussion our other friends are having a massive bonfire, burning a pile of things we pulled out of Leons barn and half a tree we cut down.

This week I'm talking with Rochester NY based graffiti and collage artist Nova. He has a new book coming out entitled " Graff Fragments, analogue collages by Nova" that showcases 365 collages that he created in 2023. If you're in the Rochester area he has a show of all the collages opening this Friday June 7th 6-9pm at Lumiere. The show will be up for two months, so make sure to head over and give yourself enough time to take in this immense collection of work.

This week I'm back in Staten Island catching up with Chris RWK the night before our collaboration show opened. We're talking about collaboration, the series that's in the show we had and the role that nostalgia plays in our work.

This week is another compilation of the fake advertisements I have at the end of each episode. I've been doing these for the past 61 episodes so I figured it was time to take a min again and highlight some of the great companies that make this podcast possible.

This week I’m back talking with one of my favorite native New Yorkers Tara Gaddy. We’re discussing some of the fun, crazy and downright outrageous experiences we've had living in New York City.

This week I'm talking with the head of digital marketing for Avon, Lynn Luong. Regardless if you’re a small buisness or a large corporation we are all dealing with the same issue when it comes to marketing, how to keep our audience engaged. It was great to sit down with Lynn and discuss some of the strategies she utilizes to help grow Avon’s customer base in this new digital era, where we are all trying to beat the algorithm. The opinions expressed in this podcast are those of the speakers. They do not purport to reflect the opinions or views of Avon, its parent, partners or affiliates.

This week I'm talking with two software developers who happen to be my old band mates, Justin Craig-Kuhn and Dan VerWeire. I've done one previous episode on Ai but after talking to Justin last time he was in town I thought it would be good to revisit the topic with two people who understand this technology way more than myself. I must admit I am treading water most of this conversation but I believe it's important that we all understand what we can about this technology and how it will effect our future.

This week I'm in Toronto With Toastoro. It's Toastoro's first time to Toronto so we met up with Urban Ninja and Sketch Rat two great local street artists to give us the lowdown on the scene and show us around. It's been a year since I interviewed Urban Ninja So It was great to able to catch up with him and see what he's been working on.
