Bedroom with Patrick Sean Gibson

Episode 2 - DJ Basta // Producer. DJ. Beat Maker. Visual Artist. Teacher.
--
“DJ Basta, aka Nick Basta , was one of my earliest visual art idols. Growing up where we did in our little northern pocket of the Bay Area, Nick was somehow tapped-in to a larger cultural scene of the outlier arts. Things like Graffiti, Hip Hop, Reggae, Block Parties, they weren’t really big factors or pillars of where we came from, but somehow Nick learned about them and did what he does best: he taught us all and put us all on game. When I was a late-teenager, Nick was like this artistic and cultural messenger to me. He would go to the city and bring back little nuggets of cultural gold. Nick has always had this upper echelon taste and an extremely magnetic quality and and when you combine those two facets and add-in the special sauce of his willingness to teach and share, you get to experience someone who is wildly influential. Sit back and listen to this big homie talk about the beginning years of his art life in the North Bay, finding Graffiti, going to California College of the Arts, throwing block parties in Oakland, DJ’ing events for over a decade, transitioning from DJ’ing into producing beats, col2laborating with all sorts of musicians and emcees and singers, his involvement with his crews Macarthur Maze and The Electric Colors, having his music played at Golden State Warriors Games by fellow Macarthur Maze member DJ D Sharp, Macarthur Maze being featured on Sway’s Radio Show and having their work on the billboards of Times Square, the Roots and Branches record box project, Nick and I’s cassette tape collaboration projects “QQQ” and “222”, as well as just a plethora of wisdom and good vibes. Big shout outs, always and forever, to the big homie DJ Basta. Roots and Branches forever. Welcome to the BEDROOM y’all. WORLD WIDE PEACE! ” - PSG

Episode 1 - Owen Tuttle // Patrick's High School Art Teacher. Artist. Shepherd. Cowboy. Legend.
--
"Owen was my high school art teacher, but more than that he was my Master Yoda. When I was a wild and crazy senior in high school, Owen helped tame the beast that I was by assigning me a specialized curriculum. He, for some reason, saw a budding passion in me that I didn't even know existed yet. In his classroom, Owen ( Mr. Tuttle, at the time ) let me experiment on my own terms, independently from the rest, and throughout my senior year I began to discover this newly developed and passionate budding love for the art of making things and expressing oneself creatively. Fast-forward 18 years since then, I've been professionally working as the visual artist I always dreamed of becoming. Looking back, Owen had a lot to do with my initial jump and I'll always respect him for his encouragement and his non-authoritarian approach to his teachings. A lot of these episodes I'm recording are to share with you, the listener, but if I'm being honest... this one I recorded just for me. Sit back and listen to this legend talk about his run-ins with James Taylor and Jackie O, growing up in and around The University of Iowa, spending summers in Cape Cod, going to the San Francisco Art Institute and being taught by the famed painter Joan Brown, shepherding around California and Oregon, becoming an art teacher, and overall just how he's lived a varied, beautiful, and colorful life. I'm very stoked that Owen decided to come on to the pod for the inaugural episode, as it feels only right for him to be here at the beginning of a new creative path I am undertaking with this podcast joynt. Getting the chance to reunite with him and record some of his life's history was incredible and I feel absolutely honored. Big shout outs, always and forever, to Mr. Owen Tuttle. Welcome to the BEDROOM y'all." - PSG
