Ideas expressed in this episode:
- Art being able to communicate messages that words can't describe
- Creating, manifesting, capturing, hunting for... "IT"
- The podcast highlighting todays "unsung heroes". These artists have the potential to eventually become "cult classics".
- Our job as an artist is to translate experiences and to share them with the world
- Different levels of dimensions and consciousness
- Virtual reality becoming a part of reality
- Living with love and fear in our lives. Creating a no fear zone
- Becoming Photo Editor for Vice
- Conversations becoming artworks within themselves
- Trying to live within a non-consumerist way of life
- The art world being a vast sea of hits and misses. Being both deep and shallow.
- Our relationship with our own truths and universal truths
