The Necessity of Experimentation

Create Art Podcast

Introduction to Experimentation

Hi there friend, this is Timothy Kimo Brien, your head instigator for Create Art Podcast where I take my 20-plus years of experience in the arts and education world and help you tame your inner critic and create more than you consume. Are you paralyzed with fear about trying something new or learning a new technique for your artistic discipline? Worried that you will fail miserably and lose the audience you have worked so hard to build? Are you just simply afraid of the unknown? Today I am going to talk with you about the necessity of experimentation and not only will I talk with you about that, but I have a guest who can attest to using experimentation to help his work.

Special Request

If you received some new insight or idea from this episode please share it with a friend that may have the same issues. Also, let me know what would make this episode a 5-star episode in your opinion. I want to make the content something that you find value in and would pass along to others. When we share resources like this we all win, we all get our work out to our audiences and create networks that will stand the test of time.

Special Note

One last thing I want to leave you with is an important issue for many of the listeners of this podcast and that is individual liberty.

While Americans overwhelmingly support the right of an individual to make their own decisions about abortion, unfortunately, that right is no longer protected everywhere in the U.S.

I want to take a moment to address the June 24th Supreme Court decision to overturn Roe versus Wade. This decision stripped away the legal right to have a safe and legal abortion.

Restricting access to comprehensive reproductive care, including abortion, threatens the health and independence of all Americans. This decision could also lead to the loss of other rights.

I encourage you to speak up, take care, and spread the word.

KDOI Rebroadcast COMIC BOOKS AS ART

KDOI rebroadcast of an interview with Mike Porter

Hello friend, this is Timothy Kimo Brien your head instigator at Create Art Podcast where I bring my 20 years in art and education to help you tame your inner critic and create more than you consume. In 2021 I am rebroadcasting my former podcast KDOI Podcast here so you can catch up on what we have been doing for the past 4 years. KDOI Podcast was my first serious attempt at podcasting after spending many years just creating content without regard to the final product. KDOI started in 2016 and had 3 seasons until I closed it down in 2019. I wanted to make sure that these gems didn't get relegated to my external hard drives, so here you go, there will be interviews, commentary, and projects that you can do for yourself. Enjoy these rebroadcasts and Create More Than You Consume.

Comic Books As Art

In this interview, I talk with Mike Porter, formerly of Little Fish Comic Books in his shop. I had just recovered from neck surgery so my voice is still gravely in this episode. We discuss his thoughts on art and what it means to be an artist. We also dive into his exploits in the comic book world and future projects he would like to accomplish. This was a bitter-sweet interview in that he was closing his shop. He reopened it a few months later at another shop but then decided to close the shop again. This just goes to show you that we all need support in our art.

Commentary Connection

Finding Connection

We don't travel this world alone, no man is an island, you have heard it before. I used to not believe that, however, with age comes wisdom if we are open to it and I have found that making connections with your audience and the world around you will improve your art. My wife gave me a box of cards for the holidays in 2022. I was puzzled because they were creativity cards and I thought, what the heck is this, I don't need them. Well, folks, I was wrong and I will attempt to do a card a week and record an episode about how I am utilizing the card I draw every week if you decide to pick up a deck and do these let me know.

Links on Connections

Kickstart Creativity

Connection Definitions

Connection causal or logical relation or sequence, contextual relation or association, relationship in fact, a relation of personal intimacy.

Connection Challenge

Reflect alone or in a group about a time you followed your intuition without knowing where it would lead.
Read and travel widely whenever you can. Be curious and open to new people, ideas, practices, and theories. Log the connection you've found because you've been open to new things because they fascinate you.
Visualize several experiences you've amassed as a collection of dots in your mind and look for patterns and possible points of engagement. Now, draw them.

Create Art Podcast

Welcome Friends,

Today we will be talking about Talent. In this episode, I am talking with my previous boss Brandon Larson who is a logistics guy and a woodworker. Our overall conversation deals with talent between the generations and his management techniques to get the best out of his team. We discuss :

How Baby Boomers are aging out, Gen Xer's are taking over and Millenials are filling in the gap behind
Millennials have many ways to gain experience besides just working a job, Youtube, 500 cable channels, internet resources
Brandon's approach to managing different generations
How he learned how to do woodworking by watching YouTube channels and getting plans through Pinterest
How due to making more objects and furniture he was able to increase his talent, learn by doing method
He reads a lot of online resources on management as an art form and gets to practice that on the job
How he uses mentorship to fill in his experience gaps
Starting a new talent, go with cheaper materials so that it costs less and the cost of failure is low and not a detriment
How he brings each individual's skills in the workplace to make a more cohesive tea

Forbes article discussed

Commentary: Self Care and Creativity

Create Art Podcast

06/13/20 • 17 min

Welcome friends to create art podcast. I'm Timothy Kimo, Brian, an artist, podcaster, and teacher with over 20 years of experience in multiple artistic disciplines and I'm here to help you tame your inner critic and spark your creativity to live a more fulfilling life. Here you're going to find conversations, interviews, commentary, and projects that will help you to discover your voice. Today we're talking about self-care and how that can help you overcoming burnout, sparking fresh ideas, and keeping you invested in your chosen interest.

Articles discussed in this episode are :

Simon Gottschalk To Be More Creative, Embrace the Art of Doing Nothing

In a hypermodern society propelled by the twin engines of acceleration and excess, doing nothing is equated with waste, laziness, lack of ambition, boredom, or “down” time.

But this betrays a rather instrumental grasp of human existence

Thomas Oppong For A More Creative Brain, Take Breaks on Purpose

Your brain needs downtime to remain creative and generate its most innovative ideas.

A growing body of evidence shows that taking regular breaks from mental tasks improves creativity and that skipping breaks can lead to stress, exhaustion, and creative block.

Shane Mehling Creative Breaks, Why You Should Take One Immediately

Sometimes we get so caught up in trying to finish something, or trying to start it, that we end up spending a few anguished moments of our day before we get frustrated and then kick the can down the line, the task always on our mind, weighing us down and pretty much keeping a little black cloud over us. Not only do we not finish our project but we also constantly feel bad about ourselves for being so lazy/uncreative/dumb.

So maybe it’s time to take a vacation.

Strategies discussed:

Set time aside to do nothing
Turn off phones, computers, tablets any distractions
Set up a meditation area
Take a walk
Use a journal to track your journey
Take a hot bath

We are using two articles to get our point across today. first up is Erik Wahl from his All Business article The Importance of creativity in the workplace. He discusses how creativity and problem-solving are interlocked and require the same skills. The 4 major points he discusses are Fluency, Flexibility, Elaboration, and Originality.

Michael Schneider, in Ink magazine, published an article discussing how taking three steps a manager can make a more creative workplace. His three main points are

Encourage risk-taking. Increase connection and collaboration. Create a shared vision, but allow employees to pursue it autonomously.

Create Art Podcast

05/16/20 • 12 min

Hello friends, thank you for catching another episode of Create Art Podcast, I am your head instigator Timothy Kimo Brien with over 20 years of experience in the art world in many disciplines. My aim is to help you unlock your creative side and inspire you to ward off that internal critic that says no. You can do this by creating more than you consume. This episode is a little different from the previous 6, we have had conversations with some great fellow artists and some commentary on articles that deal with creativity.

I will be presenting my project on The Hollow Men by T.S. Elliot. I have a long history with this poem as it sparked my awareness and love of poetry back in high school. I recently had a great discussion with Joel Ciaccio from The Hack Sessions Podcast on T.S. Elliot and here you will listen to how I hear the poem. This is a project for me as I have reenvisioned this piece many times in my life as a stage performance, a death metal song and now as an audio project. Take a listen and let me know what you think.

I am challenging you to take a piece of work and reenvision it in your own way. Share it with everyone and let's discuss. You can reach out to me in many ways, email [email protected], website createartpodcast.com, IG and FB @createartpodcast and Twitter @createartpod.
