Episode 6: Eccentric Chai's Very First Q&A

Episode 6: Eccentric Chai's Very First Q&A

Hi there! Welcome to episode 6 of Eccentric Chai, the blog for artistic misfits, wayward explorers, and the creatively weird.

This week I'm going to be answering a few of the most frequently asked questions that I receive, in the hopes that maybe I can shed some light on certain mediums, intuitive art, and the art biz as a whole.

Episode 5: Come Tornado, Come Covid, JC Porchfest Will Prevail

Hi there! Welcome to episode 5 of Eccentric Chai, the podcast for artistic misfits, wayward explorers, and the creatively weird. I'm your host, 

Today on the podcast I'd like to get real with you. These past several years have been straight nonsense for us all, but our two most recent local events

has me starting to feel we're coming out the other side. At least here in our little Missouri town.

Episode 4: That Scary Word, Style

Episode 4: That Scary Word, Style

Hi there! Welcome to Eccentric Chai, the podcast for artistic misfits, wayward explorers, and the creatively weird.

In this episode we're going to talk about that super scary word we all dread hearing: style. What is it, exactly? And why are we always trying to pursue it? Is it something we develop over time, or is it something that has always been there?

Episode 3: Five Ways to Bust Through That Creative Wall

Episode 3: Five Ways to Bust Through That Creative Wall

Hi there! Welcome to Eccentric Chai, the podcast for artistic misfits, wayward explorers, and the creatively weird. 

Today on the podcast we will be talking about creative block. We've all dealt with it, right? You don't have to be an artist to have experienced creative block. You just have to be a human. As for me, I HATE when I'm in a creative funk, and so I decided to put together a list of five things that could help me bust through that creative wall and return to my favorite place, the flow state.

Episode 2: Intuitive Art

Episode 2: Intuitive Art

Welcome to episode #2 of Eccentric Chai! 

In this episode I talk about Intuitive Art. Is there a one-size-fits-all definition? How can meditation help us understand this method of art? And what are the things you can do to discover your own definition and your own reasons for an intuitive practice?

Remember that this podcast is a sister project to my blog, Eccentric Chai: https://eccentricchai.wordpress.com/

This episode is also based on two articles on the blog.
