Does pour over coffee live up to the hype?  Drip coffee is the most popular way to brew coffee around the world.  Yet, coffee shops are using pour over brewing for single origin coffees because this method brings out the flavor of the coffee.  Join us as we sample three popular brewing methods (Drip, French Press, Pour Over) and determine if pour over coffee really does taste better.  This is how we brew it!

Have you ever fasted?   That break from food where you know you want it really bad, but you can't.   We look at things as taking a break or fasting from food, but what exactly does that mean?

I created a creative fast for myself as an artist, and wanted to clear my thoughts, work on my creativity, and rethink my artistic goals all while having no hands on creation of art of any kind.

As an artist, watercolor artist and abstract painter, so for the last 40 years I have been creating art and painting of some kind.  I decided a few months ago, I needed a change, I needed to challenge myself artistically.  So I decided to fast, a creative fast of no artwork or creation of drawings, sketches, ideas of any kind for sixty days!  

I did think about intermittent fasting, as you would with food, but I know myself, once I start a painting I get obsessed with it, or an idea or concept turns into a few series of paintings, so I knew that wasn’t the approach to cleansing my creative tank.   I needed a true break.

Join me in this episode as I talk about that experience, as I dig deeper into what was that process like and how I think it will affect my art and creative skills in the future.  Hopefully this podcast will get you thinking about creativity, whether it’s drawing, painting, writing or music.  We’ll see how this creative fast affected me, how it made me look at my own creativity and mindfulness of what it’s like to be an artist in today’s world. 

Digital media, social media, and many other distractions of life do play a key role in our daily creative lives, so we’ll discuss those effects along with myself sharing my view points on art , how this sixty day void of not creating any traditional art affected me as an artist.

The Brooklyn Art Library project  also known as the sketch book project is a non-profit community art project.  Artist around the world are participating in this innovated and creative social project that changed me as an artist.   My wife surprised me with this gift, as an artist it was one of the coolest projects to work on.  So join me as I talk about my experience as an artist as I dealt with obstacles of creative issues during the COVID-19 lockdown and how I felt about the sketch book, the art, the time invested, along with what I benefited from as a creative working through this book.

Their mission is to encourage creative storytelling within a global community.  The main goal is to make the library free and accessible to all, which led to them being the largest collection of sketchbooks in the world.  Over 14 years worth of  collection, they look at this much more than a art project, this is an inside look into what artists are thinking as an archive for endless inspiration.
