Come With Me...

Come with me, and you'll be, in another episode of The Living Artist!

Interview with Daniel Hustwit

Interview with Daniel Hustwit

In this episode of The Living Artist, Preston interviews Los Angeles artist Daniel Hustwit, with a special guest appearance from Miss X. Daniel is an extremely talented painter and is currently in the middle of a fantastic and thought-provoking Solo Show at ShockBoxx gallery entitled "Diarealism: An Unbearable Art Movement", which is up until the 23rd of March. In this wide-ranging conversation, Daniel talks to Preston about developing and executing the body of work for his show, his unique blend of pop culture and fine art in his work, the importance of being passionate (and sometime subversive), his origins in art and criminal justice, distillation as opposed to dilution, being "California sober", recently having his instagram account blown up by the Arsty algorithm, and so much more. This is a fascinating and fun conversation that you will not want to miss. While you are at it, check out Daniel's Solo Show at ShockBoxx or on Artsy. Enjoy!

For Those About To Rock with Special Guest Ariel Cohen

For Those About To Rock with Special Guest Ariel Cohen

In this episode of The Living Artist, Preston gets a visit from special guest Ariel Cohen. Ariel stops by to share his experience and perspective on being an artist who thrives, while also having a "day job" that he values and thoroughly enjoys. In fact, the theme for this episode came from a discussion with Ariel on the importance of having a full episode devoted to this topic. Listen in to hear Ariel share his insights on the topic, and stick around for a "yes, and" from Preston afterwards. Above all else, The Living Artist hopes that this episode drives home the importance of cultivating a feeling of self-love with wherever your path takes you in this kooky art world. All artists have value and we can truly learn from one another. So, for those about to rock... Well, you know the rest. Enjoy this final episode of Season 4 of the pod!

I'd Like To Phone A Friend

So, tune in for this episode that will hopefully give you some ideas of how you can build on and even expand the relationships in your life and career. Enjoy!

So Testy...

So Testy...

This episode of The Living Artist podcast is all about testing. How do we know what we are truly capable of accomplishing as artists without pushing our boundaries a bit? This can be achieved in the form of testing. Testing out ideas, techniques, tactics, new media, etc. The beginning of this episode even starts out with a test that Preston himself is trying out and he has already garnered some interesting results and even peripheral ideas from. Hopefully, listening to this episode will inspire you to develop some new ideas that you will be interested in testing out in your own art practice and career. Enjoy!

Straight To The Top

Straight To The Top

In this episode of The Living Artist, Preston takes us "straight to the top" by redefining what that even means. As artists, it is our job to have lofty goals, but also to not make one of them be the end all be all for our careers. This latter mindset will only set you up for a major comedown that can be hard to recover from. Listen to this episode and get a reminder of what a true and fulfilling career can look like. One that is constantly moving and endlessly inspired. Enjoy!

What The Hell Should I Do?

What The Hell Should I Do?

In this episode of The Living Artist, Preston breaks down what we should do when we have been approached online or through social media by a "gallery" that wants to show our work for a substantial fee. This could be nationally or internationally, and could be an exhibition, art fair, or other type of situation. Are these scenarios and relationships worthwhile? How do we decipher if they will be worthwhile to us as artists? This is the topic for today's conversation. We hope you come away with a better understanding of how to make the best decision for yourself based an a variety of unique and personalized factors. Enjoy!

The Antidote

The Antidote

In this episode of The Living Artist, Preston delves deeper into the topic of gratitude and even flips it on its head. He challenges us to see gratitude as a tool that makes us more resilient and "dangerous", in the best of ways. Gratitude can not only make us happier and appreciative of the things that we already have, but it can also be the antidote to elements in our life that we may be fearing or even dreading. Strap in for another episode that we hope will challenge the way you think of gratitude. Enjoy!

Seeing The Matrix

Seeing The Matrix

In this episode of The Living Artist, Preston talks about the importance of having pattern recognition in our lives and art careers. It might seem to be a simple skill, but when honed, it can turn into a superpower. Preston talks about pattern recognition in terms of using it as a framework to spot consistencies and inconsistencies in our lives and work. We can then fine-tune these to either stop a bad habit, or double down on a practice that is serving us well. Enjoy the episode!

We are ALL feeling the stress and toxicity in the world these days.

You're Such A Rando

Don't be a "rando" and just listen to this episode of The Living Artist podcast. In this episode of randomness, Preston shares three things that he is pondering at the moment. These topics range from "future setting" to creating a new mindset (and you) through breaking the pattern of thought repetition. It's wacky. It's random. It's a must listen? You be the judge...

The Force Is Strong With You

The Force Is Strong With You

In this episode of The Living Artist, Preston revisits the topic of fear. Sure, it might partially be due to the upcoming Halloween holiday, but also because fear is such a primary and debilitating factor that can limit our personal and artistic growth. Learn how fear "sneaks in through the back door" to influence us to fall into a state of avoidance. Instead of challenging our fears, we become complacent and fall into a pattern of repeating "safe" activities. Listen in and become a witness to uncovering and observing your own personal fears, so that you can push through to the other side. Enjoy!

Be Invisible With Me

Be Invisible With Me

In this episode of The Living Artist, Preston talks about adopting a mindset makeover when it comes to our expectations. It is not about not expecting great things to come to us right away, but rather to understand and trust that good things are stacking up for us whether we can see them or not. If we are doing the work and have our end goal in mind, then we need to trust the process and know that our progress is compounding, not unlike investing. If we can make this mental adjustment, not only will we increase our chances of success, but we will also be a lot happier in our day to day lives. Enjoy!

Yes, this definitely means learning from those who have come before us, but also learning from younger generations as well.

Don't Be Cagey

Don't Be Cagey

In this episode of The Living Artist, Preston talks about not holding back in showing our artistic authenticity. As usual, he found inspiration for this episode in a random place, and in essence, this is part of what the message for this episode is all about. Taking inspiration and filtering it through our most authentic selves. Also, learning how to be yourself and showcase yourself more fully in everything that you do, dropping a bit of the "curation". In the end, this is what people and collectors respond to. The authentic human experience. We have to be courageous enough to show ours loudly and proudly. Enjoy this episode!

Reclaiming Your Power

Reclaiming Your Power

This episode of The Living Artist is all about reclaiming your power as an artist. Sometimes struggles in life can be used as a catalyst to make change, or to rediscover who you are and what you are here on this planet to do. Preston shares how his recent bout with Covid gave him time to reflect and refocus on what matters and doesn't matter in his life and art. He realized that he had been giving away some of his power and worrying too much about what other people think. And are they even thinking these things at all? Managing our thoughts and what we choose to believe, might be one of the most important practices that we can devote time to. In the words of Marcus Aurelius (or maybe not...) “the happiness of your life depends upon the quality of your thoughts.” Listen in and rediscover why you are the only artist on the planet who can create with the unique voice, style and perspective that is so uniquely YOU. Enjoy!

In this episode Preston talks about learning how to use isolation as a super power in your creative process, while also learning how to spot and correct when it has taken a negative turn.

Negativity To Creativity

Negativity To Creativity

In this episode of The Living Artist, Preston talks about dealing with negativity in our lives and art practice. Negativity can come from anywhere, including our own thoughts. Learn how to be aware of negativity, roll with it, use it, and even transmute it in your artwork. This is an extremely important topic that is sometimes overlooked in importance and can destroy us if left unchecked. After all, we are all only as good as the thoughts that we think and energy that we let into our worlds. Enjoy!

Fame (Oh, and Intention Setting)

Fame (Oh, and Intention Setting)

In this episode of The Living Artist, the topic isn't so much about Fame as it is about Setting Intentions. Preston talks about getting crystal clear with what your end goal is as an artist, and then reverse-engineering the steps in order to get there. Many times we need to just cut through the noise and figure out what the right path is for us as individuals. It could be a path towards fame, success, financial freedom, making a living as an artist, or any other iteration that works for you. The power lies in a clear intention and then a visible path with actionable steps to getting there. Enjoy this episode!
