We're back from our (unexpected) absence! And of course, we've got to address the elephant in the room - diseases and epidemics! From the Black Plague to the AIDS epidemic, Michael Kay and Kris discuss how previous diseases influenced the art world.
Kris and Michael K talk about all things illustration. What it really is, what fields of work it encompasses, and whether to school or not to school. Michael K discovers the magical Rody Horse in a Japanese dollar store, and Kris tells her latest live lobster encounter.
We welcome special guest Jenny Miller, creator of The Japricorn! Jenny talks about starting this awesome jewelry store business from the ground up (and believe us, she had quite the hustle even back in her school days). We chat about what kinds of products she makes and sells, and where you can find and buy her work. Jenny and Kris announce a special collaboration project. Check out her website: https://www.thejapricorn.com/, and follow her on Instagram: @TheJapricorn
What the heck is up with some of the weirdest art content in modern history? Home to some of the strangest art objects and performances, Dada is a cultural icon and the symbol of an age. Does that sounds fancy? GOOD--click in and come hang with us as we talk urinals, falling paper, and cardboarded-guys spouting gibberish.
Have you ever wondered what you should or shouldn’t do when going to an art gallery? Kris and Michael Kay discuss some common gallery etiquette in this week’s episode. What should you wear? Can you touch stuff? Can you take pictures? They touch on these topics and much more. Kris and Michael Kay also discuss their artistic highlights of 2019.
In this (long delayed) episode, Kris sees some exhibits at her local art museum that spark some thoughts about gender. Her and Michael Kay discuss what she saw and her takeaways from that. They also chat about Texas culture, and how things in the Lone Star State aren’t always exactly how outsiders think they are. Amongst all the chaos of life, Kris finds solace in playing World of Warcraft.
Fan art can be a very polarizing subject... Even amongst Kris and Michael Kay. In this episode, the two chat about the world of fan art, and provide their personal perspectives on it. Is it infringing on copyright? Is it a sincere form of flattery? What do some big media conglomerates (*cough* mouse ears *cough*) think about fan art? Hint: Michael K may or may not have been the recipient of a cease and desist letter regarding some fan art - she explains what happened, and explains some of the legal mumbo jumbo surrounding fan art. It’s a fascinating world full of inconsistencies and gray areas.
Kris has a gin problem! Michael Kay lives in Japan now! Oh yeah, and they fangirl over why art is still relevant today. From having pretty things on walls to helping treat mental illness, art will always have a home. They also convince Will to talk about his vigilante Boise Christmas Light Project!
