Episode 62 Drawing in Front of Living Wallpaper with Holly Funk

Hey Listener, we’re gearing up for the big “Six Bomb Boards Presents The Death Row Show” at Madtree Brewing in in Cincinnati this Saturday April 30th from 4 PM to 10 PM. One of my favorite Live Artists, Holly Funk, comes on the show to discuss what it’s like making art in front of a room full of people. Topics this week include: Large Japanese drums. Is Live Art performance art? “It’s not just white guys with beards…but it’s a lot of white guys with beards”. When did you start drawing things? “I’m a good problem solver, but I’m not creative”. Artists sniffing their own farts. Playing in a Jackson Pollock cover band. What artists do you look at for inspiration? Swiping vs. photocopying. Why is Adobe so complicated? Digital art vs. Analog art. Your host has a Live Art panic attack. Stories of interacting with the public of yore. Graduating art school and then people stop making art. Your host loves humor in artwork. How do you feel when you’re making Live Art? Shout to Woodward Cinema and SecretBase Theater. Hands are weird flesh spiders. Nationalism sucks. The anxiety and frustration of trying to make art happen in Cincinnati and shouting out a lot of incredible local artists.
