Ep. 177: Beau McCall (aka The Button Man) and Souleo (Icon of Harlem)
Beau McCall—proclaimed by American Craft magazine as “The Button Man creates visual and wearable art by hand-sewing clothing buttons onto mostly upcycled fabrics, materials, and objects. His artworks offer commentary on an array of topics such as pop culture and social justice. Buttons are a universal fastener connecting the world through an everyday item. Through this medium I create visual and wearable artworks by hand-sewing clothing buttons onto mostly upcycled fabrics, materials, and objects. My goal is to generate a dialogue by using buttons to expand the definition of art, stimulate one’s curiosi...

MUSE: The hidden figures behind art history's masterpieces with Ruth Millington
Ruth Millington’s wonderful book uncovers the hidden figures behind art history’s masterpieces. We tend to forget that each great artist, whether from the past or present, has their own unique muse who inspires them, gives them energy and influences their creativity. For Picasso it was Dora Maar; for Rodin it was Camille Claudel; for Frida Kahlo it was her illness. Those muses had a significant impact on the artists we love, but they often get hidden behind the shadows of giants whom they inspired. In this interview, Ruth and I talked about Muses who...
