My guest is Gary Copeland—writer, poet, photographer, and boxer. Gary embodies RAW: unfiltered, honest, emotionally direct. But what makes him invaluable is that he doesn't keep it to himself. In this episode, Gary shares raw advice on getting started creatively and why living authentically might be the most important creative practice of all.

Welcome to Art Nomad, a podcast that wanders the world of art and creativity with those making it. Each conversation offers a window into the minds of today's artists and thinkers—sharing the stories, ideas, and decisions shaping contemporary culture, while opening up new ways to think about your own creative path.

This week's theme is PLAY, and my guest is artist Elisabeth Condon. She was smoking cigarettes before she could light a match, which might surprise you given her strict Christian Science upbringing. She also didn't speak a word until she was four years old, while most children begin talking around age one.

Instead of speaking, Elisabeth retreated into an imaginary world shared with her dolls—a world that profoundly shaped both her life and her artistic practice.

Join us as we explore the role of PLAY in creativity, and why it may be one of the most powerful tools we have for discovering new ideas, new perspectives, and new possibilities.

In this STORMY episode we are talking to New York artist Sage Gallon—painter, poet, photographer, music producer, author, recording artist, and filmmaker. A man who wears many hats, and wears them all remarkably well.

To say Sage's life has been a storm would be an understatement. It's been more like a crushing tornado that has flung him from coast to coast, deep into darkness, through homelessness, addiction, and prostitution. Yet from that wreckage Sage emerged to be named one of the 40 Black artists to watch in 2014.

Sage and I walk through his journey—the chaos, the resilience, and the warmth that now embraces him. Beyond his story, we explore how the theme STORM has shaped the art world, and the profound impact it has had on culture and creativity.

Art Nomad explores how creative minds think and shape culture. Through conversations with artists, we uncover the ideas, obsessions, and contradictions that define how they create—and in doing so, we change how you see the world.

Each episode is built around a theme shaped by the guest's creative DNA. We don't just interview; we experiment in real time, bend the format, and create moments that couldn't happen anywhere else.

If you're looking for creative inspiration, new ways of thinking, or a deeper understanding of your own imagination, this is a podcast for you.

See you somewhere unexpected...
