listen

At Artist Hideout, I’ve decided that an internet radio show would be the best way to put together some different types of interviews and content over the phone.
Here, you can listen to the most recent show.

Finding Value in Silence (for your creative self)

I am increasingly becoming aware that we live in a culture that is fixated on noise. I am not sure exactly why this is. Perhaps it means that people always have something going on, that they don’t really want to look at who they really are as much as being defined by the […]

Canvas Cashed Out

BBC reports that a canvas covered in 100,000 notes of 1000 kroner (about $16,300 USD) was stolen from an Oslo Art Gallery.
Each banknote was individually glued to the 6′5″ x 13′ canvas frame.
The thieves cut these individually off the canvas leaving only the frame behind.
While on one hand I am not sure whether to […]

My camera seems to be acting up and is giving everything a pinkish hue so here is the best I could do in terms of showing you the current […]

How to Find your Creative Process

As I sit down to write this little post on finding your creative process, I realize how I have been slightly dreading to write this post. Not because it’s bad or that it’s a difficult process, but because I so often have trouble finding my own process myself. Some days it is so […]

Any ideas on how to teach a first time internet user?

I’m going to go completely off of arts here and ask a question. Does anyone have any great resources on teaching a first time internet user how to use the internet?
 
My parents have recently signed up for Broadband Internet and it will probably pretty much come down to me teaching them how to use […]

Using Allegory in your Work - I have a new painting to start…

Lately, I’ve been doing more reading that artwork. I am an avid reader. It’s been an obsession of mine most of my life. One of my favorite authors is C.S. Lewis among others.
I have found that there always seems to be an underlying allegory to his writing that hides just as much […]

Redefining The Place of Art in Our Lives

I have been thinking about what we perceive as art or not. Broadly, it is defined as “The product of human creativity”. I think I struggle a little bit with this definition. Going off of that, it would confuse innovation with art. Maybe innovation is an art?
You see there are […]

Lessons from Nature

Around here it is beginning to thaw finally. Everything has been iced over completely for the last few weeks.
There seems to be a freshness in the air though there is still quite a bit of slush in the roads. There is hope that the freeze is over. People are happy as […]
