We also talk about self-care while being an artist, a homeschool teacher, a mom, and a professor.LaToya's websitehttp://www.latoyamhobbs.com/LaToya's instagramhttps://www.instagram.com/latoyahobbsShop 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

He’s been involved with the institution for 15 years and he guides us through the fascinating life of Robert Blackburn, his contributions to contemporary printmaking, and the history of the workshop.

In this episode Miranda speaks with Kitikong Tilokwattanotai. Kitikong is the founder and director of the Chiang Mai Art on Paper Studio located in Northern Thailand. He and his studio have been mentioned in past episodes of PCL because, one way or another, all roads in contemporary printmaking in the Eastern Hemisphere lead back to C.A.P. Studio. We talk about the history of printmaking in Thailand, or as some might be surprised to learn, the lack thereof, and how Kitikong built his business from his studio apartment with only enough room for a bed and press to the gorgeous three-story building with four full-time printing employees which he runs today.C.A.P.

Oremus worked for fifteen years as an Associate Professor in the College of Arts and Creative Enterprises at Zayed University in the United Arab Emirates, where she was responsible for the establishment and development of the first printmaking studio and printmaking discipline in the nation's capital on the Abu Dhabi. She is also an accomplished printmaker whose practice explores the unpredictability and fragility of life from both a universal and personal perspective. This is emphasized through her examination of the concept of physical and environmental decay brought about by the passage of time influenced by her background in the study of archaeology.Karen Oremuswww.karenoremus.comSpeedball giveaway:www.pinecopperlime.com/the-dox-thras…se-fundraiserThe fundraiser:ioby.org/project/save-historic-dox-thrash-houseThe instagram:www.instagram.com/dox.thrashSPEEDBALL GIVEAWAY:www.speedballart.com/speedball-stud…l-print-posse/Shop 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

In this episode Miranda speaks with Brian Robinson, a Torres Strait Islander printmaker who currently lives in Cairns, Queensland. Brian works in large scale relief prints, on average measuring one by two meters and each centimetre is filled with a dense iconography of colonial history, pop culture, and traditional Torres Strait Islander motifs. So in other words, he works big and thinks big, all with a playful lightness of being. We talk about his practice of interweaving images of pop culture with traditional carving motifs, how his relief prints influence his sculptural practice, and using a linocut to create the Parade Track for the 2017 Commonwealth Games.creative move brisbanehttp://creativemove.com.au/onespace galleryhttps://onespacegallery.com.au/mossenson gallerieshttp://mossensongalleries.com.au/SAVE DOX THRASH'S HOUSEioby.org/project/save-historic-dox-thrash-houseShop 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
