In this episode Miranda speaks with Mehdi Darvishi, a mezzotint artist from Dorud, Iran, about growing in a small town discovering art through textbooks and teaching himself the mezzotint technique from YouTube videos. As well as how death is omnipresent in his work and in his lived philosophy and how this affects his attitudes towards life, travel, and taking chances as a working artist.[notes]Instagramhttps://www.instagram.com/mehdi.darvishi__/Megalo Presshttp://www.megalo.org/China Printmaking Museumhttp://en.guanlanprints.com/gw/gwBaseIntroductionArtTribeMuseum/view/1International Mezzotint Festivalhttps://www.facebook.com/MezzoFest/YouTube videos from Guy Langevinhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rX47mOt8NE4Shop Talkwww.patreon.com/helloprintfriendYOUTUBEwww.youtube.com/channel/UCOMIT3guY5PjHj1M7GApouwMERCHwww.teepublic.com/user/helloprintfriendWEBSITEwww.helloprintfriend.cominstagramwww.instagram.com/helloprintfriendprint galleryhelloprintfriend.com/print-gallery✨patreon✨www.patreon.com/helloprintfriendOur sponsor Speedballwww.speedballart.com
