Curtis and I sat down to catch up. He's done some traveling and some really cool projects since he was last featured on the program. We dig into some projects, how travel changes your headspace, and a bit of what its like to be an artist in art spaces around art people. If you wanna catch Curtis Glover on the web you'll see him on instagram @curtisglovercreative

Knoxville is rich in artists that don’t have an outlet to showcase their work outside of bars or coffee shops or other businesses that aren’t art-specific or associated with a university or other outside entity; there are other great galleries that have funding and we certainly don’t want to disparage them! Some of them are also doing great things. But we are looking to give voices and visibility to artists that might otherwise be unseen. We curate the shows based on how we can uplift Knoxville artists - visually and sonically - on an inclusive platform that we haven’t seen in existence for a long time. You can find the NEGATORY GALERY online at @negatory_gallery so keep an eye out for their show announcements. These folks are after my own heart trying to uplift and shine light on artists who are underrepresented in the area. The stuff that disturbs the comfortable and that's what I'm all about.

Luke Love is on a journey and we talk about it. Luke and I go over the origin story of our paths crossing just a little, we talk about his path through art and his relationship with being an artist. His really complicated relationship with brushes also comes to light. He's a delightful human and He's currently exploring his artistry in a way that I find is really whimsical and entertaining. Give it a listen, go check out his work on display this month at The Holistic Connection on Gay St, Knoxville. He will be there today (12/13) live painting and being his awesome self. You can catch him on the web @lukelove_artworks Also if you wanna snag a hoodie like mine and mentioned in the episode go here: RedZacharyCreative Thank you all so much for listening, that's the last episode of the year. Cya soon!

Mallory and I sat down to have a chat about where she's at in life, the ethos and origin or her unique style, a bit of backstory on her education and adjacent interests in her life. This was a very enjoyable, warm, open and frankly blunt conversation about art and life, just how I like em. I hope you all enjoy it as well. Big thanks to my sponsor, their info is below.

Hello all. just a lil update about Psychshow 4 hanging till the end of the month. Please go show some love to @dabeckrules and @kaichicaloca, they were impacted by Helene and sadly couldn't have their art or themselves present for the show. Huge bummer but they are both alive and well, kicking ass and taking names to get things back in order other there. Beyond that I share some other details so go give it a listen. I really appreciate yall :)

In my opinion, Annie makes gloriously wonderful and absolutely ridiculous things. Which is kinda my favorite type of thing. So, as you all well know, I sent a message into the ether and was responded to warmly. Annie pretty much gives us the download on the hows and whys and WTFs of her life as a lens of how it has shaped her art and business practice. If you like cuss words, dead things, puns, and crude humor this lady makes things for you. If you wanna catch her on the web you can do so by climbing her link tree

Lyndsey is smack dab in the middle of learning how to be a full time creative, She took the leap and left the day job and has been on her artist path for a lil while now. This conversation allowed us both to poke around with that life scenario a bit, we also hit the usual beats of inspirations, stylistic influences, and one cantankerous feline. Yet again another person warmly responded to a question from the ether! You can find her on instagram @lyndseyullomart or her etsy LyndseyUllomArt Big thanks to my sponsor, their info is below.

I spotted some of Brandon's work around town and as usual, I had to pick his brain about a few things. It was a treat to dig in and peek a bit into his inspirations and motivations for making the deliciously complicated things that he does. He's also really good at explaining these things, which I am endlessly appreciative. So dig in yall.

Laurel Smith is one of those all around creative types. She paints, she writes, she follows her curiosity. I love that, so you all know I had to pick her brain just a little. We take a conversational romp through where she's been, where she's at, and where she would like to be. You all cind find her work on her website at https://www.laurelhookersmith.com or her instagram laurel.h.smith Big thanks to my sponsor, their info is below.

This isn't a normal episode and truly none of them are that normal, but this one breaks the mold just a bit. I sat down with Jody so he could pick my brain about some work I've done recently that I am not a fan of. We chat about the hows and whys of the whole scenario and I wanted to present a lesser seen facet of my artistic self, feeling it important to be transparent and authentic in this adventure. This is also a conflict any and every creative person goes through in some form or fashion in their lives. So this is a bonus episode specifically for the other artsy folk out there who know this pain. If you didn't listen to the last shenanigans he and I dove into go hit up episode 56 and give it a listen. Jody is awesome and he makes excellent media so go listen to Ramblin Man Pod as well.

Piper Paisley hit me up to grace the mic and we had a fun chat, picked their brain about their influences, reminisced about small town radio shenanigans, the trials and tribulations of being a new and learning independent artist in east Tennessee. We also snuck in a clip from her first single, so keep an ear out for that.

First off, If you haven't listened to Steph Cabell's previous episode go do that (ep 54). Its a more artist focused conversation about where she is in her artistry and songwriting. This episode, is definitely not that at all, we touch base on it but this episode focuses more on the creative chemistry between her and her graphic mastermind Troy Dunn. Troy makes Steph's promo graphics, he even made the graphic I'm using on this episode. Dude is seriously talented and it was a treat to have him on. Its also his fault that we have cake and obliterated the episode budget on sweets. No complaints. Troy Dunn owns True Blue Electric Tattoo, facebook , you can find him on instagram Steph would really like for you to find her on her Steph Cabell Music social outlets of facebook and instagram and if you're into the tiktok shenanigans you can find her wackiness there too.

Through the wonders of social media I discovered Zim (Alexander Zimmerman) doing his thing. His raw style of presenting ideas that create a positive friction in society is something I had to pick his brain about. This episode is kinda heavy, gets political at times, and has important information about the art and the artist. We had a blast in this conversation and I hope you take this as a catalyst to dig into his body of work and be more socially aware of how the world is operating around you, at least a little bit. You can find him on the web in all sorts of places but primarily he streams on his youtube, his website is thezim.com, and you can follow him on instagram @_thezim

Daniel Clay as an elegant simplicity to his work hat I had to dig into. We spent time talking about where he's been, what other creative outlets he's had and how he ended up with the style and ethos he has now. It was a treat to pick his brain and I hope you think so as well. you can find him on the web in a few places such as: @danielclay, his website or youtube Big thanks to my sponsor, their info is below.

Joshua Shorey has been on the list for a long time, I really enjoy the elegance his work seems to naturally have and he was kind enough to let me pick his brain a bit. He tells me some of his life experiences and analyze a bit how these things informed his artistic visions. He also clues me in on his journey through the mediums he has used over his life. You can find him on his website Bapodesign.com and on his Instagram @bapodesign Listeners get 10% off on Relaxed Tax by Sagan Financial Group, a local Chattanooga company serving all 50 states.

You know some days just throw you a curveball? That happened this day, but after a successful scramble Shannon and I were able to sit and chat about all the things. Travel, festivals, music, stop motion animation, quilts, texture sensitivities, and a bit about a dog too. Shannon is a UTK Print MFA Candidiate '26 and also led me through some of the visual vocabulary and decision making ethos of her current bodies of work. I certainly enjoyed getting the inside scoop on her work and I hope you do too.

Another message into the ether met with an enthusiastic yes. Keith has a varied array of mechanical interests on top of a creatively saturated family and childhood. He loves bikes, motorcycles, and apparently upcycling as well. He lets me pick his brain about the how's and whys of his work, music, a bit of travel and a lot of how these things all come together to help him pursue his craft. We sat in his garage, listened to the rain and had a fun conversation, I hope you all enjoy listening as much as I enjoyed recording!  Listeners get 10% off on Relaxed Tax by Sagan Financial Group, a local Chattanooga company serving all 50 states.

On this episode of the KAANP we have Callie Goetz @the_nuclear_potter and she is legit double trouble. A nuclear scientist AND one hell of a potter. We sat down in her studio at Might Mud and talked a lot about porcelain and a little about how her science and her art influence each other. How inseparable they are, and how pottery is like jazz. So if you need to know how this all works just like I did, then definitely throw this one in your ear holes and hang on! Also the BIG news attached to this episode is that the KAANP is now part of the Podnooga network! This is a Chattanooga based podcast network and I am happy to be on board with them. I give ya the run down in the first two minutes to get you up to speed and then its business as usual.

To me Vincent Drake had always been an aloof figure in the realm of Knoxville creatives. His work has a look that I really enjoy but hard to label. It's deconstructed, composed, chaos, and order all at the same time and I really dig it. When I made it into his studio to record our conversation he made it clear that he very much disliked small talk and was very excited to have a long form conversation about his work, the environments that spawn his creations, and we even get into the nature of free will a bit. We went all over the map with this one and it was a treat to pick his brain but he also picked mine a bit too. So be ready, this conversation could be considered a bit revealing for more than just the guest, we both take a dive into our creative ethos just to do so.

This episode features a wonderfully talented Skout Smith. She paints, she draws, but mostly she tattoos. We cover the bases, influences, work flows, and how chasing the muse is a bitch sometimes. Also her adventures into vintage camper ownership and its hurdles. She's gonna be tattooing at Golden Heart in Seymour for the next little while, I would definitely check her out sooner than later if you're in the market for some new ink. We had a fun chat and I hope you enjoy listening. You can find Skout on instagram here, and the tattoo shop Golden Heart here. As always yall are downright the best listeners and I appreciate when ya hit the play button every single time. --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/kaanp/message
