Black Bulb Creative's Podcast Tailored Towards Creative Lifestyles And Those Within It.

A man with a self-described playful and morbid style, Bare Bonez, joins Black Bulb Podcast this week to discuss his start in Portland's sticker scene.Originally from Chicago, which he considers their scene to be close-minded with most of the artists keeping to themselves, he felt the immediate openness of Portland's scene after moving here a few years ago. Bare Bonez initially used Inkjet printers to make his stickers and laminated them with packaging tape; however, that changed when after a few months of living here, Rx Skulls invited Bare Bonez to his studio and showed him his process. From there, he has continued his sticker and artist journey.Also, one of Bare Bonez' loves in life is Pee-wee Herman. He is planning to do a Pee-wee Herman-themed show in early 2019, but most of the details are being kept under wraps, so definitely keep an eye out for it!Tune in to the episode to hear more about his past and his plans for the future.

Robert Rios, owner of Irican Productions and member of Faithless Saints, Sorry Not Sorry, and Ground Score, joins Black Bulb Podcast this week to discuss his start and his passion for music. It all started after he graduated from Expression College for Digital Arts in Emeryville, CA, and realized he could not afford to live in the Bay Area anymore. With connections, he decided to move up to Portland, OR, in 2008 and has since been a part of the music scene. Robert started doing recordings for bands for free or cheap for the first few years until it became a full-fledged studio as we know it today. Tune in to hear more about recording mishaps, how he prefers not to master the album after recording, and trying to make a living off music.Sorry Not Sorry: https://www.facebook.com/sorrynotsorrypdx/Ground Score: https://www.facebook.com/groundscorepdx/Faithless Saints: https://www.facebook.com/faithlesssaints/

This week, we have Hello Kitska sharing a glass of Cascade Street Distillery's Chipotle Pepper Vodka. Although she is relatively new to the scene, it all began when she posted an Instagram photo of the Seattle Gum Wall with a hashtag of Skam. They ended up speaking online, and after the cleaning of the Gum Wall, Skam invited her out to meet up with him, Rx Skulls, Dr. Scott, and Voxx Romana. After some hesitation on her part, Skam and Voxx Romana helped put up her first and second posters. It took off from there, and Hello Kitska has been hooked since.Tune in to hear more about her story as an artist, how her artwork comes from her dreams and subconscious and women she sees when she sleeps that she considers her wardens, the origins of her name, and how she is jealous of artists who can do both 2D and 3D work.Hello Kitska also runs a panel at PDX Art Jam every first Saturday at the month from 1-4PM at PDX Exchange. Artists create artwork on the spot, which then is available for sale afterwards for those inter

Skam, originally hailing from North Dakota, is here this week to talk about his beginnings and interest in art over Cascade Street Distillery's North Sister Vodka. While in North Dakota, he gained notoriety creating snow and ice paintings before ultimately moving out west to Portland after realizing North Dakota does not have much of an art scene. When Skam first started learning about stenciling, his influences included Shepard Fairey and Banksy; however, there was a shift in Portland's street art culture when the Graffiti Abatement Program started. This gave rise to Portland's now large sticker scene. Tune in to hear the full story including where his name came from, being self-taught in silk screen printing, relating to Peter Parker, and his love of horror movies, video games, and reading.If you have time this week, head on down to the Goodfoot on SE Stark to check out the Vinyl Killers show. The show will start at 5PM and includes artists CTDZN, Ace Troy, Wokeface, Asinine, and this week's artist, Skam. W

This week, we have Amityville's own Christian Gabriel sharing a nice pour of Cascade Street Distillery's Chipotle Vodka. Christian feels his life began after high school when he joined the Marine Corps, dealing with the ups, the downs, the deaths of friends in Iraq, and coming back a different man. This led to him discovering painting as therapy, since using alcohol to treat PTSD is not a sustainable option. During Christian's darkest moments, painting made him feel that he did not need anyone else, just a brush and his imagination. Tune in to hear the rest of Christian's story!Christian Gabriel works and gives back to the community as well. He is involved with East Creative, an art collective, and Do Good Multnomah, a non-profit organization helping homeless veterans find housing. Christian is also a co-organizer of Rose City Wellness Week, which is happening this month starting on 17 Sept and runs until 23 September.Thank you as always to Cascade Street Distillery for providing their Chipotle Vodka!

This week, the lovely Anna Duvall (aka Anna Deez Nutz) joins us over a nice glass of Cascade Street Distillery's South Sister Gin. She details her early life of being born in Berlin, Germany, followed by a move to the Big Island, Hawaii, at the young age of two. Being a haole, she says she found it hard to fit in with her peers, so with nothing else to do, Anna states she developed an interest in drawing, which became her "magic trick" to fit in. Luckily for her, this began a life-long passion leading to being featured in Thrasher's Envelope of the Month, Boneyard tap handles, and at a Portland Art Institute gallery (though not without complications). Watch the video to learn more about Anna and what has brought her to this point!You can reach Anna Duvall on Instagram, Facebook, her personal website (Anna Duvall Art), or email her at duvall_anna@hotmail.com.
