Dean Haglund, Phil Leirness and Jon Lawlor have been collaborating on podcasts for a long time! For the past several years they have been getting together almost weekly to hold each other’s feet to the fire in the pursuit of creating art that is filled with life, while continuing to learn how to live more artfully. Now, Chillpak Hollywood Presents “The Art Life” to you on a regular basis! This week, the gentlemen discuss what Ray Bradbury had to say about the importance of feeling rather than thinking while creating. Dean, Phil, and Jon discuss in personal detail why the good feeling creating art can provide is the very feeling they might be seeking to avoid. They discuss the concept of how the very culture of staring at our screens might become helpful when it comes to seeking out life experiences and genuine experiences with art. Finally, the relationship between one great painter and a legendary Beat poet leads to a free-wheeling, frustrating, funny and fascinating discussion about fine art, poetry, performance art and So I Married an Axe Murderer!
