Synthesizer

I've been a fan of their work for a while now and decided to get an under-the-hood look at the business and them as people and fellow synthesizers of their client's realities into award-winning, eye-catching projects.

Shane was a touring musician before diving into the fabrication world full-time through a tragic twist of fate.

Zarina an established oil painter @zarinastudio (instagram) joined Shane to lead an unstoppable team of thinkers, tinkerers, and fabricators called DecoTron.

While hearing their stories and perspective we got into the "art of not practicing" where each project is a one off, Unique projects. How Zarina weaves an integrated system of managing projects, personalities, and clients with her threads of emotional intuition and respect.

They are no doubt an asset to Dallas Texas' visual and social fabric. Big thanks for agreeing to speak with me and share with my audience!

A Dose of culture to my uncultured brain.. I may look the part but I'm far from cultured in my Mexican/ Italian/ Portuguese roots. In this episode, Miguel showcases the rich heritage that is the Latino movement. With Celebrator color palettes he shows us all how harsh some of the realities our Mexican brothers and sisters face every day. I love how he stopped and looked back on how his work was received. He explains through than one movement, gained insight of where to go next with his work. 

Excuse the plethora  "Likes" spewing from my mouth as I try to explain visual concepts early in this episode. I hope it doesn't detract from the conversation too much.

Do you know what you want to do? Well, it's not over... Now the task is to figure it the fuck out! How do I get what I want to do in front of those who will connect with it the most? Jenkins is one of those artists who has a bedrock of characters and solid vision in his arsenal. Emotional icons he uses to navigate the world. Characters we can all relate to. It was fun as a fan and fellow artist to see the inner workings and give him my first take on his artwork. I hope through this interview you'll get a glimpse of what it looks like to find your voice as an artist creator or art fan yourself.
