Show And Tell: Andy Brinkman and his beats!

On Thursday night Brinkman gave the Kansas City pod a crash course on digital music production. With Ableton Live projected on the wall, the KC pod talked about recording, synthesis, software, and songwriting while munch on pizza (thanks Brent!) Below are links to some of Brinkman’s tunes.

Trey Bryan's Sketchbook From Paris

Hey Everyone,

I just got back to Kansas City from Paris France this past sunday night. I want to thank Andy Brinkman and Jane Radstrom for holding down the fort. I love traveling- it's always been a good way to clear my head and think about things at home and my career, in Paris, it was no different. what an amazing place with beautiful people and architecture. The French language is a lot like dancing, you have to commit to speaking it or else your just going to look like a fool, haha. 

My brother Beau, 20 years of age, has been studying in France for 2 months now, 4 weeks in Torre, a couple weeks now in Paris. Its amazing to me that he speaks fluent French and he's only been studying the French language for three semesters! Incredible! We had such a good time going to cafes and wondering down narrow alley ways at all times of the night, we even rented bicycles several times to get around Paris. We met some great people you showed us a heck of a time as well. I tried my best to sketch all the time while I was there - here are some of those sketches.

if you would like to see more- I've posted them all on my blog

thanks for looking

Dr. Sketchy's in Kansas City

Sure, you can spend your time in a life-drawing class rendering the gross anatomy of aging hippies who earn extra money by posing naked for art students. Or you can attend Dr. Sketchy’s Anti-Art School at the Loft in the West Bottoms from 6 to 10 p.m. first and third Sundays.  A combination of drawing class, cabaret and burlesque where the focus is on gorgeous models, awesome music and social lubrication. Art monkeys: bring your sketch pads, pencils, pens, paints or whatever artsy medium lifts your luggage. Non-artists: You’re free to attend just for the entertainment. The cover is $6 at the door, way less than the Junior College will charge you to draw somebody’s grandmother.

Due to the nature of warehouse loft living we do in fact celebrate a summer vacation. Dr. Sketchy Anti Art school KCMO is in session Sept. thru June.

New Mark English Paintings

I went over to Mark English's studio today, it's always a pleasure to see what he's up to. Mark has been venturing into a realm of abstraction that not only breaks and bends the rules of forms- but also color and saturation. Very cool stuff so I took a few shots of the works in progress - I hope you enjoy them, please tell us what you think!

Thanks for viewing

Excerpts from BRNK's Skethcbook

Howdy everybody, it's been a while since I've thrown stuff up here and since the snopacalypse has me stuck indoors, I figured it was time for a sketchbook update.
