Need a dose of creativity and accountability? Hosts Monica and Candace are prioritizing ART and talking about it in a real way. One take, no script, and no filters… just two humans inviting listeners in for a fun weekly chat about what they’re making now and what is inspiring them.
00:00:10:03 - 00:00:11:05
Speaker 1
Welcome.
00:00:11:06 - 00:00:11:28
Speaker 2
Hello.
00:00:12:01 - 00:00:23:21
Speaker 1
Hello. Hello. What number? 24. 24. I should have known before we started. Welcome to episode 24 of As We Art.
00:00:23:23 - 00:00:29:17
Speaker 2
I like that it was very smooth as we art. It was almost like the more you know.
00:00:29:17 - 00:00:41:04
Speaker 1
You know, the more you know. Rainbow star. Welcome. We are a podcast. We are a YouTube channel, and we are glad you're here. What are we talkin?
00:00:41:06 - 00:00:56:16
Speaker 2
Today we are talking about as we do every time we are talking about, what we've created this week and what's inspiring us. And we want to hear from you. Share with us what are you creating and what's inspiring you?
00:00:56:19 - 00:01:17:02
Speaker 1
For sure. We love hearing from you. So we're talking about art projects that we are either in progress or completed this week. The here and now. Because I could talk about my ideas forever, but that's not what this is about. Can't we're talking about what we're doing right now helps keep us accountable. Count accountable. Cannibal accountable.
00:01:17:02 - 00:01:19:24
Speaker 2
A cannibal helps make us a cannibal.
00:01:19:24 - 00:01:26:13
Speaker 1
Hannibal the cannibal. So it helps keep, keeps us accountable. Oh my God, I got to talk cannibal over.
00:01:26:13 - 00:01:27:29
Speaker 2
There's named Monica.
00:01:28:02 - 00:01:52:13
Speaker 1
I'm Monica, I'm Candice, we're glad you're here. If you're listening on the podcast. Awesome. Welcome. Thanks for returning. Thanks for joining. And if you are watching us on YouTube, that's great. You can see some extra visuals, but don't worry either way, follow us on Instagram because we post pictures after every episode to show the art we're talking about or the other bits and pieces and details that we mentioned.
00:01:52:20 - 00:01:55:29
Speaker 2
Yeah, Instagram is the way to go.
00:01:56:01 - 00:02:04:22
Speaker 1
Yeah, it's nice to have the visuals with a podcast. It's a little tricky, but yes, if you're just listening, we're so glad you're here. We'll try to describe our art oh so.
00:02:04:22 - 00:02:10:05
Speaker 2
Thoroughly step by step. We'll say in the left top one third, you.
00:02:10:05 - 00:02:22:16
Speaker 1
Have God snooze fest. So we did do some art this week. We were and were inspired this week and we're going to talk about it.
00:02:22:21 - 00:02:23:26
Speaker 2
We was inspired.
00:02:23:26 - 00:02:48:24
Speaker 1
The city will work and sound like weren't. If you say it too fast, so can, can and can't. This is such a problem. For those of you who don't know, one of my other things that I do besides art is I, help non-native English speakers build confidence with communication, but the can and can't and were and weren't, they're really close.
00:02:48:24 - 00:02:55:29
Speaker 1
If you say them, if you don't. Really, pronounce each one. So we were inspired.
00:02:56:02 - 00:02:57:01
Speaker 2
Yes.
00:02:57:04 - 00:03:00:07
Speaker 1
Okay. What do you do for art? Who's going to go first?
00:03:00:09 - 00:03:03:17
Speaker 2
I think me, because I just asked so.
00:03:03:20 - 00:03:06:05
Speaker 1
Candice, what art did you create this.
00:03:06:05 - 00:03:22:18
Speaker 2
Week? This week, I the first thing I worked on, I can't show because it's a surprise for somebody. I was able to show what I had made for my sister for her birthday because it had already been, like, mailed and, she opened it.
00:03:22:20 - 00:03:27:12
Speaker 1
And this time, that was the Firebird. That was for those of you who weren't there. Yeah, it was the barber.
00:03:27:18 - 00:03:40:26
Speaker 2
But this time I'm making something for my mom. But her birthday has not occurred yet, so I can't show it. I will show it when it's completed. And she has it in her fingers.
00:03:40:28 - 00:03:53:07
Speaker 1
But I'll take a progress picture. I won't put it on this week's episode in case your mom watches, but I will add it to our future episode because it's nice to see the progress, because you did something a little different with the black. Maybe you can mention.
00:03:53:09 - 00:04:17:07
Speaker 2
Yeah, I died. Not, I didn't die. I'm still here. I died d e d my lino before carving so that I could tell what I had carved away and what still needed to be carved. So it was awesome. I've never done it before. A lot of lino artists do it, and, yeah, it was worth it.
00:04:17:09 - 00:04:38:23
Speaker 1
Yeah, it's really cool to see the difference. And like we said, after she's already sent her mom the gift we can show you. But normally the linoleum that Candace works with is gray, and when she carves away, it is still gray. And so she died. This block, this linoleum block this week for the first time she died.
00:04:38:23 - 00:04:59:22
Speaker 1
It blew. And when she carves away it's gray. So there's a really nice contrast and it already looks cool just to see that color contrast. Even if a blue has nothing to do with the final printing colors, which I don't know if it will or won't, it don't give anything away. It doesn't, but it's just a way to have some contrast when you're carving.
00:04:59:22 - 00:05:03:16
Speaker 1
So I thought that was just ingenious.
00:05:03:16 - 00:05:07:07
Speaker 2
Yeah. It's nice. Save my eyes as I get older, you know.
00:05:07:13 - 00:05:12:28
Speaker 1
Yeah. More of a contrast. That's awesome. What else did you do in your linocut studio?
00:05:13:00 - 00:05:23:00
Speaker 2
I also printed some more cards. Smaller cards, more, the heart lino that I had made, several months back.
00:05:23:04 - 00:05:24:18
Speaker 1
Why did you print more?
00:05:24:20 - 00:05:29:07
Speaker 2
Because I got an order from my paying customers.
00:05:29:10 - 00:05:37:20
Speaker 1
Didn't this are the best? Yeah, they ordered a ten pack, of blue hearts. And so Candice did that with her grumpy ghost stamp on the back.
00:05:37:20 - 00:05:39:09
Speaker 2
Yes. Little grumpy.
00:05:39:09 - 00:05:39:21
Speaker 1
Love it.
00:05:39:28 - 00:05:41:27
Speaker 2
I haven't signed them yet, but.
00:05:42:00 - 00:05:44:15
Speaker 1
There's still drawing. You did ten.
00:05:44:17 - 00:05:46:06
Speaker 2
That did ten. Yeah.
00:05:46:08 - 00:06:05:16
Speaker 1
It's really cool to be able to print our own cards. And if you're going to spend I mean, you go to a store now, it's like $5, $7 and in the card aisle for one card. So we're like, let's just print our own. And it's nice if you're out there listening and you are a card giver, you have occasions to gift cards.
00:06:05:19 - 00:06:11:08
Speaker 1
Consider, finding a local artist, a linocut artist. I mean, you can also contact us.
00:06:11:15 - 00:06:11:21
Speaker 2
Yeah.
00:06:11:21 - 00:06:15:05
Speaker 1
There's any artists? A lot of them. Do. They sell their prints as cards?
00:06:15:05 - 00:06:21:08
Speaker 2
Yeah. We have a friend that's a watercolor artist. Alyssa. Shout out Alyssa LR.
00:06:21:08 - 00:06:23:03
Speaker 1
Yeah. Her watercolor.
00:06:23:07 - 00:06:34:04
Speaker 2
She's a watercolor artist. Her she's her stuff's awesome. But she she makes cards. And then there's a lot of people around here that do cards with their art. It's awesome.
00:06:34:07 - 00:06:55:22
Speaker 1
So, yeah. And check in your local area, whether it's like local shops that sell local art or go to a craft fair, art fair, when they set up their tents and cards are such a good way to go. And you know, you're not committing to like a really, high end piece of art that you're purchasing for your wall.
00:06:55:22 - 00:07:13:11
Speaker 1
You're buying their prints, their cards, which I think is a nice kind of entry way, affordable way to support a local artist. I'm glad you mentioned Alyssa. I'm going to post her post. I'm going to post her tag. What am I saying? Her handle?
00:07:13:13 - 00:07:14:04
Speaker 2
I don't know.
00:07:14:10 - 00:07:36:04
Speaker 1
When I do. I asked her about you guys when I do the Instagram post, I will tag Alyssa and show you her awesome art. We often get cards to give to people and each other. Her art is great, so I'm glad you mentioned her because it's nice to mention, no other artists that we really are inspired by.
00:07:36:06 - 00:07:40:15
Speaker 1
Post handle, tag, shout out or whatever the kids are calling it.
00:07:40:15 - 00:07:44:08
Speaker 2
All those crazy, crazy words that we don't understand.
00:07:44:10 - 00:07:46:09
Speaker 1
Oh, you understand them better than I do.
00:07:46:12 - 00:07:46:25
Speaker 2
Not by.
00:07:46:25 - 00:07:56:06
Speaker 1
Much. Oh gosh, thank God for Candace for the technology. This podcast and YouTube channel would not be happening if it weren't for Candice Collier. So I'm.
00:07:56:06 - 00:07:57:26
Speaker 2
Grateful. That's not true.
00:07:57:28 - 00:07:59:00
Speaker 1
Very true.
00:07:59:02 - 00:08:01:03
Speaker 2
Thanks for telling the world my last name.
00:08:01:03 - 00:08:18:13
Speaker 1
Geez, I might call you. Yeah, you could say, Monica, we will give you $10 million right now if you can make a video ad sound and edit it and upload it to the internet, and I'd be like, keep your money, because that's not happening.
00:08:18:16 - 00:08:19:23
Speaker 2
You can do it.
00:08:19:25 - 00:08:26:19
Speaker 1
Thank you. I believe in you. Thank you for your vote of confidence, Candice. But, sorry to say, probably not.
00:08:26:21 - 00:08:30:10
Speaker 2
Well, since you didn't do a video this week, what did you do?
00:08:30:13 - 00:08:32:04
Speaker 1
Oh, look at that Segway.
00:08:32:04 - 00:08:34:09
Speaker 2
It's like we planned it. Don't.
00:08:34:10 - 00:08:36:28
Speaker 1
And we will never have a script.
00:08:37:01 - 00:08:38:13
Speaker 2
Yes.
00:08:38:16 - 00:08:51:01
Speaker 1
No. Yeah. In case you're new here, we do this one take. We keep everything and we don't edit anything out, and we we don't plan what we're going to say. We really don't know what the other person's going to say.
00:08:51:01 - 00:08:56:21
Speaker 2
Totally winging it. Yeah. It's. What's another idiom for that off the cuff. Oh, yeah.
00:08:56:28 - 00:08:57:23
Speaker 1
Off the top of the head.
00:08:57:29 - 00:08:58:26
Speaker 2
Yeah.
00:08:58:28 - 00:09:08:08
Speaker 1
Improv. Okay, so I finished a stained glass panel that I'm super psyched about, and I just had this vision of a bright green.
00:09:08:08 - 00:09:08:28
Speaker 2
Plant.
00:09:09:03 - 00:09:19:29
Speaker 1
Potted plant with a bright gold background, and I achieved it, and I'm super psyched about it. I, I just, I don't know, this piece makes me so happy. It's a.
00:09:19:29 - 00:09:20:14
Speaker 2
Bang.
00:09:20:14 - 00:09:22:07
Speaker 1
And tell me what you guys think. Hold up.
00:09:22:09 - 00:09:25:07
Speaker 2
I'll be the mike mover. The mover of Mike's.
00:09:25:09 - 00:09:29:04
Speaker 1
Yeah. And I also brought this white. It's kind of big. Honey.
00:09:29:06 - 00:09:31:09
Speaker 2
Can you hold it up to the wall instead?
00:09:31:11 - 00:09:45:13
Speaker 1
Oh, that's a good idea. You got stained glass in this particular glass is not opaque. You need the white background to really see the colors. Yeah. All right. What do you think? Is it against a wall?
00:09:45:15 - 00:09:55:13
Speaker 2
No, it's probably too too high. I'd come down a bit. Okay, here we go. Nice. It's beautiful. The colors are awesome.
00:09:55:16 - 00:10:04:09
Speaker 1
Yeah. Thank you. I love the colors. They definitely were inspired by my kitchen from childhood in the 70s. Shout out to the green and golds.
00:10:04:11 - 00:10:05:24
Speaker 2
Yeah.
00:10:05:26 - 00:10:13:13
Speaker 1
And now we had, like, avocado green and gold. Is this like the wallpaper in our bathroom? In a kitchen I loved it.
00:10:13:19 - 00:10:16:19
Speaker 2
My grandmother had avocado, green carpet.
00:10:16:21 - 00:10:21:19
Speaker 1
Oh, carpet. We had gold shag carpet throughout the house. I'm talking shag.
00:10:21:22 - 00:10:24:06
Speaker 2
We had gold carpets. It wasn't shag.
00:10:24:09 - 00:10:49:00
Speaker 1
This is kind of awkward to hold, but, the colors change. Whether it's in a window or against a wall. The two tone golds. I'm excited about the green leaves and the gray pot. I just this just made me happy to make a big, big fucking house plant. Just sitting there being all happy. And I'm gonna I'm going to release it into the world and put it up for availability for sale.
00:10:49:06 - 00:11:09:04
Speaker 1
I want to keep everything I make because, I mean, I make things that I enjoy. Once in a while, when we have to do a commission, I have to give that away to the customer at the end, which by the end I'm usually very happy to give them because it wasn't my idea. But when I create things just just in the moment, and this one was one of those, I sometimes get attached to it.
00:11:09:07 - 00:11:13:02
Speaker 1
But I think this plant will have a forever home and and be happy somewhere.
00:11:13:02 - 00:11:14:09
Speaker 2
Forever a home out there.
00:11:14:10 - 00:11:37:25
Speaker 1
Yeah, yeah. So I was really, glad that I did that. I also worked on writing. I'm writing. I started a new essay about the my relationship with rowing. This is a sport I've done since I was 13. So if I'm 50, that's almost, almost a 30 years. It's almost 40 years.
00:11:37:29 - 00:11:41:09
Speaker 2
Almost. Wait. Yeah, 37 years.
00:11:41:09 - 00:11:42:14
Speaker 1
That's a lot of years.
00:11:42:16 - 00:11:44:05
Speaker 2
As a lot of years.
00:11:44:08 - 00:12:04:12
Speaker 1
Yeah. So I started, a new essay, about that, creative nonfiction, about just what it's meant to me. My relationship with it, how I feel, and about explaining the boat, but also like how I got started and how some of the more interesting experiences in a boat on the water. So anyway, why did I mention that?
00:12:04:12 - 00:12:21:16
Speaker 1
Oh, my writing I did writing this week. That's that's art that counts. Sure is. And that felt good. And yeah, we attended we mentioned last week we were going to be attending an art opening and we went and it was lovely.
00:12:21:16 - 00:12:22:26
Speaker 2
It was great.
00:12:22:29 - 00:12:38:15
Speaker 1
So for those of you who don't know, one of my pieces of art was part of a collage of a lot of artists, 150 artists, and they revealed the big reveal. And it was a piece by Matisse, I don't know, the official name has koi fish in it, I think.
00:12:38:15 - 00:12:39:04
Speaker 2
Yeah, koi.
00:12:39:04 - 00:12:43:14
Speaker 1
Fish. I should have looked at the name before coming to this recording, but I'll.
00:12:43:14 - 00:12:48:07
Speaker 2
Just look up on Rima T's and Fish. Yeah, but.
00:12:48:07 - 00:12:49:09
Speaker 1
He might have done more than one.
00:12:49:14 - 00:12:51:05
Speaker 2
Well, so whatever. You'll find one of them.
00:12:51:09 - 00:13:18:25
Speaker 1
I will put that post in our Instagram post to show you the big reveal. The actual 150 artist created this beautiful collage. It was awesome to see it come together and a picture of the actual artwork so you can see the difference. It's it was a really great event. We're glad we got to go. We were also very surprised for a friend who showed up for this art opening.
00:13:18:29 - 00:13:29:16
Speaker 1
Totally unannounced. Totally didn't expect to see him. It was so great. And then we ended up going out for drinks and dinner after, oh my God, you guys, we were so adulting.
00:13:29:16 - 00:13:32:10
Speaker 2
We were 100% adulting and we had a lot of fun.
00:13:32:14 - 00:13:33:14
Speaker 1
We had a lot of fun.
00:13:33:14 - 00:13:41:09
Speaker 2
So shout out to Andrew for showing up. He came just to see Monica's art revealed and that's really nice.
00:13:41:09 - 00:13:57:19
Speaker 1
And it came alone. His wife had other plans and he he just it was so nice. And so the three of us got to talk after it was just one of those nice surprises. I don't know if if you follow this podcast, you know, Candace and I would like to get out more often. We we tend to stay home and work a lot.
00:13:57:21 - 00:14:18:17
Speaker 1
And so that was just a really cool, unexpected, evening. Yep. Yeah. So, the, the art opening went well. And then this piece, like I said, my plant piece is done and will be eventually on our website that we're working on, on selling our art. It's not ready yet, but it's getting there. We'll keep you posted.
00:14:18:21 - 00:14:22:29
Speaker 2
So almost there. Not really almost, but it's getting there.
00:14:23:01 - 00:14:49:25
Speaker 1
Yeah. So inspiration. But before we move on to inspiration, we do want to remind you listener land. Let us know what projects you're working on no matter where you are in the process. Share your art with us. Share your ideas, your current projects, whatever that is that you're working on. We we are really, truly inspired by you all, sharing with what you're working on, whether it's in the comments on YouTube, comments on Instagram, or send us an email or a direct message.
00:14:49:29 - 00:14:51:03
Speaker 2
Yeah for sure.
00:14:51:05 - 00:14:51:27
Speaker 1
We love it.
00:14:51:29 - 00:14:53:10
Speaker 2
Yeah, we really do.
00:14:53:12 - 00:14:53:18
Speaker 1
And.
00:14:53:25 - 00:15:00:27
Speaker 2
Have fun looking at people's art. It's awesome. Or watching if you're, you know, theater or film or whatever.
00:15:00:29 - 00:15:12:10
Speaker 1
Yeah, yeah, listening to music. If you're working on a new song, if you're trying out a new recipe in your kitchen, if you have some flowers blooming in your garden that you worked on tending, this all counts. And we love seeing it.
00:15:12:12 - 00:15:30:17
Speaker 2
It's all creativity. It's awesome. For inspiration this week, I think my inspiration has been kind of like finding a different pace for life. We're on the East Coast and we're going through a bad heatwave right now, so.
00:15:30:19 - 00:15:32:16
Speaker 1
The East Coast in the United States. In the.
00:15:32:18 - 00:15:43:24
Speaker 2
States? Yes. And it's hot. It's like almost 100 degrees and humid. It's really not fun. We also don't have air conditioning, so.
00:15:43:26 - 00:15:45:09
Speaker 1
Yeah. Anyone else out.
00:15:45:09 - 00:15:50:01
Speaker 2
There? Nice, nice, sweaty evenings in bed.
00:15:50:04 - 00:15:51:11
Speaker 1
But adjusting your pace.
00:15:51:11 - 00:16:26:20
Speaker 2
Just adjusting. Yeah. Because you can't do things at the same pace when it's, you know, you're sitting in a humid bubble as a human. So it's just kind of been inspiring to, like, change pace and, and do things differently and approach things differently and really focus on like what it is I absolutely need to get done in the moment versus what I do to like, find a distraction sometimes to prolong because I don't have the energy to spend on the distractions when.
00:16:26:22 - 00:16:27:12
Speaker 1
Yep.
00:16:27:15 - 00:16:28:26
Speaker 2
You gotta slow down.
00:16:28:28 - 00:16:50:13
Speaker 1
Yeah, that's a really that's a really good point. We are fortunate that that is our biggest issue right now. Yeah. And we don't know what part of the world you are in and what you might be, dealing with in terms of challenges. We know temps are rising all over the planet, and this heat wave might not be out of the ordinary for a lot of people.
00:16:50:13 - 00:17:10:19
Speaker 1
It might not be out of the ordinary for us soon, but right now it is taking some some adapt adaptation, some resilience to try to figure out new ways of dealing. And we are really, really grateful to still be able to do art. And yes, fans are not as effective as air conditioning, but we can't have everything.
00:17:10:19 - 00:17:14:29
Speaker 2
It's like someone breathing on you because it's like 98 degree.
00:17:15:01 - 00:17:34:09
Speaker 1
We have an house, we do have a few portable air conditioners that help a little bit, a little bit, help sleep at night a little bit. But we are really grateful to be able to make those adjustments and slow that pace down. I'm glad you mentioned that. As an inspiration. But I also noticed you brought your calendar in here.
00:17:34:09 - 00:17:34:26
Speaker 1
What's that?
00:17:34:26 - 00:17:43:14
Speaker 2
Well, I brought my calendar in because we had a very, serendipitous. Is that a word.
00:17:43:17 - 00:17:47:08
Speaker 1
For it already? For July 1st when we flipped the calendar? Yes. Oh, my gosh.
00:17:47:09 - 00:17:48:26
Speaker 2
Something like.
00:17:48:29 - 00:17:50:00
Speaker 1
Serendipity. Both of our.
00:17:50:00 - 00:18:16:19
Speaker 2
Mouths were agape when this happened. I flipped my calendar, which I should say up front. Neither one of us look through our yearly calendars ahead of time, right? Like we don't look at the pictures ahead of time. So I flipped my calendar to July, when July 1st hit, and the picture on July. I have to share because we both almost died.
00:18:16:21 - 00:18:27:04
Speaker 2
Yeah, because it's Monica's plant. The she just made. The colors are the same. The leaves are a little different, but it was like, oh my God.
00:18:27:06 - 00:18:35:24
Speaker 1
So we're looking at a picture of a houseplant in a pot and the the pot is also gray on my art and on the calendar.
00:18:35:24 - 00:18:36:25
Speaker 2
Backgrounds yellow.
00:18:36:26 - 00:18:59:03
Speaker 1
The backgrounds bright goldish yellow. And the leaves are really bold and green and have that kind of heart shape on them. And it was it was really cool to see like, yeah, okay, that's pretty cool. Like I did not know that was coming. I forgot about that when we switched the calendar over it. That's fine. Yeah. I'll post a picture of the calendar or we don't know.
00:18:59:03 - 00:19:02:02
Speaker 1
The artist is right. Is is illustrator on the back?
00:19:02:02 - 00:19:05:24
Speaker 2
This is, the witches calendar. Let's see if.
00:19:05:24 - 00:19:15:06
Speaker 1
They might say the illustrator will find them and put them in the Instagram post. But it was really awesome to see someone else was inspired.
00:19:15:08 - 00:19:20:21
Speaker 2
The illustrator is award winning illustrator Jennifer Hewitson.
00:19:20:24 - 00:19:23:27
Speaker 1
Jennifer Hewitson, you and I are on the same page.
00:19:23:27 - 00:19:25:26
Speaker 2
Yes, you guys, we're on the same wavelength.
00:19:26:03 - 00:20:04:07
Speaker 1
I can't believe it. Yeah, so that that was really cool to see. I like your inspiration this week. That's awesome. I'm going to just really go with that same flow learning I've talked about before, slowing down, but really being forced to by the weather makes a difference and by the circumstances happening in the world. And just being like extra grateful that we feel that we are in a place where we feel safe and healthy right now, there's a lot of people going through a lot of shit on this planet, and it sometimes it does drive me to think is doing are kind of tone deaf, but I think it's even more important than ever
00:20:04:09 - 00:20:10:04
Speaker 1
to stay creative and stay true to that and not succumb to all the dark stuff.
00:20:10:06 - 00:20:12:10
Speaker 2
Yeah, I agree, I agree, yeah.
00:20:12:13 - 00:20:44:25
Speaker 1
And, in terms of why I mentioned my writing was really inspired by rowing this week is because I joined a rowing club who I know, but in a very different capacity, and this is so freaking cool. And I'm so excited to share that in my rowing history, I have been a competitive rower often, and in my decades of being part of rowing clubs, I've been coaching, often coaching other adults or coaching youth programs.
00:20:44:25 - 00:21:06:14
Speaker 1
It's what I've done, and to be joining this club now and not doing either of those things very intentionally, no matter how nice they were about asking if I would consider coaching, I was like, I'm going to decline that offer. I am here just to row in a solo boat. I'm not even doing team boats, which is also unusual for me.
00:21:06:14 - 00:21:25:03
Speaker 1
So having the opportunity to go out in a single at my own pace just for the sake of like just paddling around lately, I'm not. I'm not training for a race. I'm not listening to other people talking and I'm not coaching. This is amazing. It's such a privilege to be just in that moment in nature, gliding across the water.
00:21:25:10 - 00:21:49:13
Speaker 1
I'm very, very, very lucky that this sport found me or I found it as a very young 13 to 13 years old. So I am very lucky. But I just want to say I am inspired by it because what you were saying, it forces me to slow down, be quiet, be contemplative and be grateful. Like that is my inspiration this week.
00:21:49:13 - 00:22:08:21
Speaker 1
So I have a lot more art coming, a lot more writing coming as you do. We have a lot of art and writing in the works, but we're so happy to come to you each week on as We Art and talk about what we're working on right now. We'd love to know what you're doing and what's inspiring. You definitely share with us.
00:22:08:23 - 00:22:17:02
Speaker 1
And also, I really like that we mentioned Alice's art, and maybe we could make that a regular thing where we give a shout out, let's do it.
00:22:17:05 - 00:22:31:11
Speaker 2
Let's do like an artist of the week. We'll give a shout out every week to an artist if anyone wants to suggest somebody that maybe we don't have on our radar, that'd be awesome. Does not have to be visual art, right? Yeah. You can do any art.
00:22:31:16 - 00:22:33:06
Speaker 1
Yeah. A musician, yeah.
00:22:33:09 - 00:22:35:07
Speaker 2
A dancer, anything.
00:22:35:09 - 00:22:45:07
Speaker 1
That's a good idea to ask the people in less sitting land. So if you would like someone to be raised up, shout, shout it out, shout.
00:22:45:07 - 00:22:46:23
Speaker 2
Shout it out and.
00:22:46:25 - 00:23:00:24
Speaker 1
Shout it out. It, please just put it in the comments or direct message us because we would really like to put a spotlight on some other artists out there that are doing their thing and creating. Yeah, that's a great idea. Candice.
00:23:00:26 - 00:23:04:01
Speaker 2
So it was a joint aid?
00:23:04:03 - 00:23:26:13
Speaker 1
It's a joint idea. But yeah, we're glad you're here. Episode 24. That's our art inspo for the week. We're so happy to see you. And I think we mentioned this before, but episode 26 is our halfway mark through the year. We committed to one year. We're doing it. This is amazing. So we're going to rev up for a some sort of giveaway to give you some art.
00:23:26:16 - 00:23:31:03
Speaker 1
On our 26th episode, we don't know the details yet.
00:23:31:05 - 00:23:43:20
Speaker 2
Start following us on Instagram if you're not already. We're probably going to do the giveaway on there because it's the easiest way to do it. But we'll give details in episode 26 and show what we're going to give away.
00:23:43:22 - 00:23:51:21
Speaker 1
Oh yeah. Oh, we'll get on that. Yeah, we'll be working. We have a task. Okay. Thank you so much. We'll see you next week.
00:23:51:26 - 00:23:53:09
Speaker 2
Thanks. Bye.
