HAVE A DOPE DAY

Childhood friends Wes and Jeff use to make short film with whatever they could get their hands on as young warthogs growing up in the late 1900s . Back when you had to b kind and rewind your VHS tapes before you took them back to blockbuster on Tuesday. Back when you had to WAIT for your favorite show to come on because streaming wasn’t a “thing”. Fast forward to 2023 and you can see them doing the same thing as adults with taxable incomes and no parental supervision to stop them from accomplishing a life long dream of writing,filming,editing, and self funding their latest project PILLOW MAN . You can only see this project in person on the big screen Friday October 13- 7:30 pm at the colonial theater 3522 Stockton blvd

I have had the pleasure of sitting down with a few photographers and getting a chance to learn what their process is this is important to me because it gives context to the visuals they produce I call this process finding the “why” . Melissa’s “why” we extract special to me because it made so much sense considering her journey as a creative up until this point. YOU will have to listen to this episode to find out what I’m talking bout.

Once upon a time on this planet before computers before mass production before Walmart and Costco things were made by hand . By a person with a soul and personality filled with passion for the things they made with their own two hand. Because We have gotten so far away from this in today’s world it’s easy to spot a sign or piece of furniture that has that soul built in to it . Alyse the owner and founder of steadfast crafts is that missing link in today’s world building custom pieces with soul and passion . This episode is the journey Alyse took to become the creative we all see today.

HOPE is someone I have seen for a very long time in this city . After talking with him I can honestly say he’s a true vandal and will never stop painting graffiti. This episode is his story in his own words.

This episode is an honest look in to what being in a relationship with a graffiti writer looks like for some people

This episode is about a true legend in the Graff game. I will not give you his name because anything we say can and will b used against us in a court of law!

Yo this Sacramento is truly a small town at heart. I say that because one way or another everyone knows everyone we're all connected through one another. In the Graff/ hip-hop scene its even smaller so I wasn't too surprised to find out WEL SED is my cousin 😮😁 and we didn't even know it . This episode is his own story in his own words and it's a dope one!

I'm excited for you to check this episode out. One of my favorite artist friends and her husband sit down with me and talk about the challenges of being in a relationship with a full time artist. I appreciate the honesty and respect they have for one another. I love how they have found a way to work through their challenges and keep things interesting when away from one another 🍄😁. I'm even more excited to tell you about Uli's podcast -TALK ARTY TO ME- dropping soon also produced by- WE ARE SACRAMENTO-

And much more!

Thank you

Great art highjacks you're attention forcing you to "stop what you're doing because it's about to ruin the image and the style that you're use to"(shock g) lol. What I mean is GRANT KONISKI'S art is very powerful and it stopped me in my track's and forced me to ask myself"wtf am I even looking at right now?" I have to know about this guy. This episode is just that me/you learning about Grant's journey as an artist in his own words!

Thank you
