Marian Bantjes at Pop!Casts
I am ever so thankful for the brilliant and wonderful Marian Bantjes. Her insights on her work provide such an awareness of the world that I am inexhaustibly intrigued by. The symbiosis of poetry, visually and thoughtfully, and design filled with love provides me with endless inspiration. I hope you enjoy this wonderful video as much as I do.

Meeting Andy Gilmore
Back on September 5th, I met Andy Gilmore at a showing of his work with some great music from LouLou and the Sharp Sword. After a long anticipated talk with Andy about his work, I had learned quite a bit. He believes that they are geometric proportions that exist naturally and that we tend to encounter them at some wonderful moments. These proportions occur in all aspects of life. We discussed how this is encountered through skateboarding, music and several other forms. Gilmore works tediously at this, whether it’s through the designs that he does mostly in illustrator, his extremely fine, analytical illustrations, or the music he produces.
