  • Solution Based Thinking

    We are down to essential services and that means that we need to get serious. People are having a hard time adjusting to this new reality and I want to help. I have three main ideas right now:


    1. Get a journal to vent your emotions. Don't do that on social media. We need that space for important communications.

    2. Be solution-based. Do not waste time thinking about things that you cannot change. Figure out what you can do and do more of it.

    3. Make it simple for the kids. We have a responsibility to engineer this transition as safely as possible for the young ones.


    That's it for now. Keep the lines of communication open and clear, focus on solutions not complaints, take extra care to be good to the littles.

  • Rational Sense

    We are on lockdown, sheltering in place and we don't know where our food is going to come from or how long this is going to continue. A full half of the United States is about to be in full blown crisis mode. I'm strongly suggesting that the way to ground this transition is by sending citizens rations and making the food supply chain transparent. This is a time to stick together even though lots of people are probably going to have a hard time doing so.

  • Researching Sustainability Sustainably: Dialogic Podcast Season 2, Episode 23
    Returning to research, we hatch a sustainable plan of doing night hikes up to UCSC’s library.
    Instead of learning about styles and techniques we want to learn about the people, the leaders of the art world, art history, the tradition we are participating in.
    The problem with using research for pose ideas is that it feels more natural when you create the pose, organically. (Having maybe some ideas/ inspirations in your head)
    We discuss the difference between working organically and intuitively in creating work VS trying to produce work based on a certain style or even sometimes after a specific photograph. We decided imitating other people’s styles or photographs feels less interesting than coming up with our own organically.
    One of the values of doing research is that you become proactive about what you are consuming in terms of culture. You dove deeply into a subject and have more control over how what you see which will affect what you do creatively, it’s like a visual diet. Becoming smart about what you chose to see will affect your creative output, just like being smart about the foods you eat will effect your performance.
    Research and exposing yourself to art history is going to give you the benefits of having really rich influences, it’s like choosing your inheritance. You’re adding to your mind, it’s like adding decoration to your home, it’s beautiful and thought provoking.
    It’s been done.
    It is not smart to “shoot in the dark.”
    Asking why you like something will lead to a deeper understanding of yourself.
    Often times we don’t see artist - we see the only the art.
    Researching sustainability: researching sustainably.
    Sustainable execution.
    Think Local, think organic.
    Old model of cover shoots included huge energy costs in production.
    The reason for high production value of old school photo shoots is to eliminate the competition through production costs. In order to keep the bar high in a sustainable manner new techniques for increasing the production value will need to be invented.
    The new goal is high value low carbon cost.
    A ‘low carb-on diet’
    We discuss the idea of an artist needing to create a body of work. What does it mean to choose what you want to leave behind as a legacy, as an artist?

  • Hip Hop, Catharsis and Apologies: Dialogic Podcast Season 2 Episode 20

    We discuss why we love Hip Hop. Madison explains how the music moves her and Jake dives into an explanation of the Greek concept of catharsis. 


    Then, we are rudely interrupted by a less than civil citizen and we left that part in for you to hear. Haha what a tool.


    What follows is a conversation about apologizing. When is it good to apologize? When is it a bad habit. What is a real apology? What do apologies do? We get super philosophical about saying I'm sorry. #sorrynotsorry 


    We hope you have a badass and unapologetic start to 2020.
