We have been artists making art for decades, and we've learnt a thing or two about what artists should avoid or be aware of. It still seems impossible to get recognised for your art these days. But we have to keep going. It would be amazing if someone would come along and support what we do. So, don't give up. Keep making great art and being the artist you were born to be.

We hope this list helps you along the way to being the best artist you can be. Peace.

We're back to discuss our art snobbery and try to come to terms with why we struggle with the commercial art world's status quo. We discuss the sad and untimely passing of the daytime TV genius that was Paul Reubens. Lastly, we look at the gorilla public art posters that appeared all over London that rightly or wrongly condemned the Tory party leaders.

We're back with Podcast 13. We chat about the art studio practice, beer, introduce a silly game of British slang, Carl Jung's Birthday, open calls, and the Turner Prize 2023.

We freestyle once again on art and being artists. There is conversation on such topics as the cost of Open Calls for art exhibition applications, my new shades, a recent FREE art opportunity and the Judges involved, and finally, a little update on us, the Artists.

Well, in this episode we discuss our trip over to Hauser & Wirth Gallery in Somerset. We learnt more about the gallery's history and discussed the two exhibitions that were on when we were visiting, we saw work by Rodney Graham and experienced the curated group show titled The New Bend.

We openly discuss Op art and artists George Westren, Bridget Riley, and Gerhard Richter.

This podcast was our best one yet, sadly the video didn't work this time. Also, it took my crappy computer 10 hours to render... 

If anyone would like to sponsor us with a new kick-arse computer, that would be nice #nvidia.  

So we kicked off setting up the studio space wall with a couple of chosen art pieces, and a bit of banter whilst adjusting the kit. A very affordable print by Mark Elliott Smith and a painting made by yours truly.  Firstly a special thank you to Stems Gallery Belgium and artist Nick Doyle, who kindly responded to my request to use their video on his website nickdoyle.org  

The first topic was on Bansky and his trip to Ukraine, #slavaukraine. We also mentioned the clothing giant stealing one of Banksy's prints to use in their shop window. A special thank you to #bansky for the use of his video on his website bansky.co.uk  

Next, we talked about the oil protesters vandalising great works of art. Even though it is an important topic, we are not fans of destroying artwork, what's next burning books and destroying religious symbols, I think you know what I'm talking about.  

Then came our Instagram artists, I chose Nick Doyle, who is producing such great works, and informs us of his conceptual framework and his thought process. Mark chose artist Jim Harris, who we don't know much about. 

One thing is for sure, he has produced an unbelievable amount of work and we think all of it is quite impressive, well-done #jimharrisart 

Thanks to Mark Elliott Smith and myself for having a go.

We look at some of our latest work, some art news and fairs going on and a few artists picked directly off of Instagram.

We got together in the studio for Living Too Late #6, an impromptu chat on being artists and where we are in the current social, political climate. We live our lives as artists, we are not smart, we are not hustlers, we make art because we must and we are not afraid.

Our conversation is completely spontaneous and things play out according to our current state of mind, which is built on decades of professional practise as artists. We hope you find something interesting in our ramblings, follow us and join in on Instagram, Youtube... We are Living Too Late.
