16 FALL 2014

The popular radio trio, Kevin Rolston, Virginia Sinicki and Jason Pennington of The KVJ Show, were a morning staple in the Palm Beaches and Treasure Coast for over 14 years. Unbeknownst to listeners, The KVJ Show abruptly left the popular WLDI Wild 95.5 to head south to Miami’s The Coast 97.3. Once on 97.3 The Coast, the morning show format changed to predominantly music, and the KVJ talk was cut to a minimum. To add insult to injury, the broadcast was silenced completely after only 7 months on the air. This transition upset the loyal listeners; the fans of KVJ took immediate action once the show was off the air, creating a Save The KVJ Show page on Facebook that attracted over 6,000 loyal fans to band together in hopes of their return. With the help of the KVJ Nation, The KVJ Show is now back on the airwaves on Palm Beach Broadcasting’s 97.9 WRMF in only 5 months from the time they left Miami.

ART HIVE: A lot has happened to you guys in the past year. Can you give us a recap of all that has occurred?

KEVIN: We’re a show that’s been broadcasting here for 14 years, at the time, and really, our goal was just to stay here. We didn’t want to go anywhere else. Radio is changing; syndication is getting bigger and digital is changing everything that is out there. We were looking at the great landscape of things and know how companies affect radio, and being with a big company, we were looking at our future and our ability to stay in South Florida. We were concerned that we wouldn’t be able to continue like we had been for another 15 years

so we started to look for options to keep our families here and stay in South Florida, and really, the only option was to try to find a place to grow. So, we had an opportunity to do that and felt like that was the best move that we could have made to try to extend our stay and hopefully never, ever have to leave South Florida. That was a big part of what the decision-making was. We didn’t want to leave this area; we love this area. So we went in, and the easiest way to put it is that things did not work out the way we wanted to. But the amazing thing about it is that it really cleared the pathway for our return and for us. It gave us a great realization of just how awe-some our listeners were. If we were in love with the area before, they are going to have to drag me out of here dead because there is nothing that will get us out of here now! That just really solidified it. Coming to WRMF, it gives us that opportunity with a smaller, lo-cally owned company, and the size signal they have is perfect for us, because you know, in the seven months that we were on the air in Miami, we had loyal listeners from Broward and Miami-Dade, and we’re able to keep all those people. With WRMF, we’re going to be able to grow and not have to move at all. It’s perfect! And instead of a 45 minute commute to work, I go through one traffic light and get here in four and a half minutes! We’re really excited because we firmly believe that we are now at a place where we can do another 15 years on the radio.

AH: The demand is obviously there for you guys to come back up here so that makes sense.

COMEBACK CALL IT A

Art Hive's one year follow up with the stars of The KVJ Show, after their turbulent journey

throughout the South Florida airwavesBy Angela Yungk and Jessie Prugh Illustration by Jon Hunt


KEVIN: Yes, and ultimately when people ask about Miami, it was such a huge blessing in disguise because ultimately our plan was to stay in South Florida and not have to move. Mission accomplished.

AH: There was a time lapse when you were off the air and your fans really made them-selves known. Did you guys realize just how loyal and strong they were?

VIRGINIA: We had no idea. They assembled themselves and got together and said, “we’ve got to do something", and we kind of just watched it all happen. We did not set them in motion, they did it on their own, which makes it so much more of a blessing to know that people would love us that much.

JASON: Without them, we never would have had a job. KVJ Nation saved our careers!

VIRGINIA: Palm Beach Broadcast-ing told us they noticed us be-cause of them (fans)! They had to take notice because they were blowing up social media, calling stations and asking, “Who’s going to hire the KVJ show?” They were acting on our behalf and it was such a gift.

AH: Well, It’s clear that no one can bully you guys around! You have amassed thousands of people looking out for you. It’s amazing!

VIRGINIA: Yes, and we would have never known about them if we wouldn’t have had to go through that. I think it was all supposed to hap-pen, but we didn’t see it that way when we were going through it because it was all very painful. It was very sad to have to go through all that transition in one year, but the good thing that came out of it was this group “The KVJ Nation” that wanted to save us. If we weren’t lost, we wouldn’t have needed saving. Thank goodness for them!

JASON: We’ve always known we had passionate people who lis-tened to the show, but when all this went down they really got to-gether and showed up like a very visible gang; the protectors of the show.

AH: When you were on WILD 95.5 (WLDI), your show was com-prised of approximately 4 hours of talk time with fifteen minutes of commercial breaks. What can we expect from your new show as far as the format goes, on 97.9 WRMF? KEVIN: Right now, what we really want to do is feel things out by de-termining what the listeners want. Transitionally, the show before

us was playing more music, so right now we are playing about three songs an hour so the audience that was listening before won’t be completely overwhelmed with the change. We want to make the transition smooth since it may take listeners a little while to get used to us because… we’re a little weird. Ul-timately the goal is to do what’s best for the audience.

AH: So what you’re telling us is that eventu-ally we’ll have Jason going through the Mc-Donald’s drive-thru naked again?

JASON: [laughing] Yes-all the goofy stuff!

VIRGINIA: That never stopped during the break!

JASON: I was out of a job and still doing all that stuff.

VIRGINIA: He was making videos the whole time, like his Bigfoot

video “My Sweet Sasquatch; it got something like 800,000 hits! It’s unbelievable! He was very much up to his antics dur-ing the break.

AH: When the change oc-curred, what kind of experi-

ences, whether it be personal or professional, did each of you

gain from this whole ordeal?

JASON: I can tell you, for me, that I was already close to Kevin and Virgin-

ia, and when you go through something shitty together, you really become a fam-

ily, big time. I mean, they aren’t blood related, but really, they are blood related.

VIRGINIA: It was so funny, for me, I started to develop Jason’s so-cial anxieties…

JASON: I don’t have social anxiety! You keep saying that! It’s called panic disorder with heights! I can still talk to people…

[laughing]

VIRGINIA: Ok, I started getting panic attacks, and I’ve never had them before. I’m not afraid of heights but I started becoming afraid of buildings, and people and going out, and it was all very pecu-liar. And my husband was like, “ I can’t believe Jason’s the one that seems to have it all together the most out of the three of you”, be-cause I was freaking out. Jason really became my rock. I would ask him questions and bounce things off of him, and it was all so weird. Jason was the voice of reason and calm.

JASON: I was drunk the whole time.

KEVIN: The thing that I thought was great about the time we had off, for me personally, was that for fifteen years I really had my nose to the grind stone and I think I lost some perspective because it’s always been about the show; it’s all I could think of in the back of my head. For fif-teen years it was always about the next show, and to not have a show that was coming up really gave me some time to be able to sit back and reflect. Not only in my own life and to spend time with my family, but it also gave me a better perspective on what this job really is and what it is we do, and at the root of it all, it’s about the listeners and about a relation-ship. It’s what connects us and binds us together, the relationships we have, and through KVJ Nation and getting to see listeners out, it made me realize that we’ve been blessed to have this position. In a sense, it’s a responsibility that we have, being here, that we have to look out for the community the way they’ve looked out for us. There are needs that need to be addressed and we need to use the power that we have with this radio show. It’s not that we are pow-erful, the radio station itself is powerful. You take that away and you really don’t have what you had before. In a sense, we’ve been given a gift, but there is a burden. There is a responsibility to take care of the community and use it in that way and so I have a new perspective coming into this. To me, it’s not even that I’ve got a job or that I get to go on and have fun with my best friends. I really look at it more than ever, because you hear about people going through stuff like driving to cancer treatments, we realize that everyday we have to give listeners something to smile about, to laugh about, and help them out any way that we can, wherever we can.

VIRGINIA: One of the ladies from KVJ Nation said, “I would listen to you guys driving my husband to chemo every morning. You got me through chemo!” I just thought, “Whoa, I got you through che-mo?!” I can’t wrap my brain around it.

KEVIN: That is crystal clear to me now. We have a new purpose and drive with every show we

do and know exactly why we are doing it. It’s not for a paycheck; that’s personally

not the driving force. It’s the people who listen to the show and who are

connected to us, and us to them.

AH: Is there a possibility for The KVJ Show to be syndicated?

KEVIN: Yes, we’re with a com-pany that is growing, they have 113 radio stations nationwide, and

there is possibility, but there are good things and bad things with

syndication. Our only goal right now is to reconnect with the community

and do what we need to here. If we felt like we could still do the show that

we did and not neglect the community and make it work, then we would consider it, but

it’s not what we’re worried about. It’s too early to say, but we’ll see what happens.

AH: Is there any other last minute words you’d like to leave us with?

JASON: One thing I’ve noticed since signing here (at Palm Beach Broadcasting) is that their vending machine is the best out of any of the companies we’ve worked in. You can quote me on that!

DIY School by Michelle Hunt

“In today’s world creativity is as important as literacy… degrees aren’t worth anything now. It used to be if you

had a degree you had a job” –Sir Ken Robinson

As an artist I hadn’t considered teaching until my employer asked me to train a group of people that was interested in the type of animation I was doing. I was surprised at how much I enjoyed the experience and this led to the crazy idea of me becoming an art teacher in the public school system. The five years I spent in the trenches completely changed my view on education. Why was standardized testing so important and creativity undervalued to the point that funding for the arts was practically non-existent? Frustrated, I walked away from my career as a public school teacher and struck out on a new path that led to the Sudbury School. Since 2009 I have been a staff member and resident artist at Sunset Sudbury School in Davie, Florida.

Sudbury was conceived on a democratic model where students create their own community and system of rules. Do It Yourself School! (more about Sudbury here: http://www.sunsetsudbury.org) At Sudbury schools, students are encouraged to satisfy their natural thirst for knowledge, to explore the world, and to learn how to communicate with honesty and fearlessness. Curriculum is not proscribed, so students set their own goals and manage their own schedule without intervention or coercion by others. In this environment, students are able to develop characteristics that are key to achieving success. They are curious and enjoy learning new things; confident enough to rely on their own judgment and capable of pursuing their passions to a high level of competence.

The Sudbury School produces graduates who have retained a vital curiosity and interest in the world around them. They tend to be highly adaptive to new situations and able to work productively alone or in collaboration with others. I believe that this creative approach to life and problem solving is the key to innovation in 21st century science, business and the arts.

MUSINGS & MOTIVATION FOR YOUR

CREATIVE MIND

INSPIRATION

ANTHONY BURKS

ART DRONESTEVE AOKI


The following is my opinion (so please ex-cuse the horrifying lack of verifiable facts).

Over the years, it has become absolutely clear to me that it is impossible to become an artist simply by attending art school. Why not? Because there is no way to actu-ally teach anyone how to become an artist. Admittedly, it sounds like an inflammatory statement. Because um, well— I am a col-lege art professor. But seriously, I have a wholly logical explanation for my epiphany (Which is ironic since the creation of art-- at least in my own experience-- is not a logical or systematic process at all).

Confused yet? Good.

MFA artist statements tend to be riddled with self-aggrandizing platitudes about themes and semiotics and paradigms that are not useful for much of anything but propping up the sagging ego of an insecure artist. I have a more low-brow take on art-making. By my own definition, a visual artist is the creative force behind an image. He or she conceives an idea and it is given physical manifestation by the artist’s own hand. This artwork is an image that ex-presses and communicates the full extent of the artist’s intentions in an aesthetic manner. It can be a painting, drawing, comic, sculpture, calligraphy, etc. Unless the art in question is entirely conceptual (and I have some strong views on that sort of thing) then raw materials will be needed to create it.

Here’s a funny little fact about art and art

supplies: Although Van Gogh’s paintings have sold for millions of dollars, the raw pigments, canvas and stretchers used to create each work have a value of far less than that. In fact, if Van Gogh were alive to-day and one of his paintings was destroyed while in his possession, the artist himself would only be able to make a claim to his insurance company for the cost of the raw materials used to make the painting. That could easily work out to be less than fifty bucks. However, if a collector had purchased that same painting and insured it, then that collector would be able to recoup the millions of dollars that the work was worth as indicated on the bill of sale. I like to believe that this is partial proof that ideas do indeed have measurable value.

If a bunch of random car parts were tossed into a dumpster, we wouldn’t expect a Lamborghini to come roaring out, now would we? (I suppose it couldn’t hurt to try, but don’t get your hopes up) Similarly, human beings are not hollow meat sacks that can be crammed full facts and figures in the anticipation that they will magically become great thinkers or artists.

Every couple of decades, educational theorists convulse around like an epileptic snake caught in a pickle jar in a vain at-tempt to re-envision a cutting-edge system for educating the masses. With access to libraries and the internet, raw information is available to anyone who wants to pursue it. Yet if we are to be perfectly honest with ourselves, we must admit that not everyone has the desire to learn. There

is this silly institutionalized self-delusion in educational management circles that educators should be held wholly account-able for the failure of the students in their charge. Thus, when a student fails to learn (irrespective of the circumstances), it is automatically assumed to be the fault of the teacher. But in reality, no matter how damn hard a teacher tries, it simply doesn’t matter to the jaded slacker in the back row sleeping off his all-night Minecraft session (That’s not to say that some teachers aren’t horrible, petty, passive aggressive clods, but that’s a subject for another column).

Now, don’t get me wrong-- I definitely believe that enthusiastic, engaged individu-als can be taught about the history of art as well as be trained in the proper proce-dures and use of tools and supplies for producing images. However, just as having a grasp of basic calculus does not make you Albert Einstein, simply knowing how to mix red and blue to make purple will not endow you with the visionary brilliance of Michelangelo, Frida Kahlo, Mark Ryden or Jenny Saville.

At the end of the day, the whole concept of “ART” is entirely subjective anyway. But let’s face it, if one does not have the imagination and unquenchable desire to create and share unique and personal snap-shots of the soul, then an A+ on a Design Basics quiz means nothing. (Wow, I think I became a poet for a second there. Sorry about that.)

displays with watercolors, pen and ink, and colored pencils. A truly unique artist, Burks graduated from the Art Institute of Fort Lauderdale, continuing his art and having it displayed at various events, galleries, and museums. Through his passion for art, he has connected with his home state of Florida and gone on to produce some wonderful pieces. His work can be seen at the Paul Fisher Gallery in the Endangered Species of Florida Exhibition, CONTINUUM, a gallery stemming from ArtSynergy and ArtPalmBeach, and Elements, a collaboration with goals of promoting the ecosystem of South Florida and its Everglades. Not only does Anthony Burks do artwork that reflects his Floridian roots, but he also contributes to helping fellow artists in his native state. Burks is the co-founder of A.T.B. Fine Artists & Designers, an organization meant to aid and promote the growing local arts scene.

A while back I stole Jessie’s copy of Steal Like an Artist by Austin Kleon.

Well, she said I could borrow it, but that sounded much more dramatic and ironic. I read it. Then I read it again. One part of the book that really resonated with me was Chapter 8, “Be Nice (The World is a Small Town)”. Being nice is something that is really important to me and I have written about it myself here in Art Hive Magazine…and I will keep on addressing it because I believe it is important, especially among us art folks. When I read this chapter in the book, Kleon addressed writing fan letters, not so much looking for a nod or any type of response, but just for the sake of telling someone that you admire what they do. I was already nine pieces into my monthly series, stippled portraits inspired by the idea of decoration, when it all just clicked for me. I instantly thought of some local lady artists that I admire and how inspired and decorated my life is because of their work; I stopped in my tracks and decided I was going to do some fan art.

I wasn’t sure at that time if I would spend the rest of the month creating a piece of fan art every day, but I

knew that I wanted, no, I NEEDED to, create some fan art pieces, and so I did. I created

ten pieces specific to this idea. It felt great to delve into the work, creating

images of folks that I admire with nods to their styles; with each

piece, I spent time thinking about what is was about the person that I admired and wanted to emulate my own work.

If you have time, I challenge you to be a FAN. Write a fan letter,

make a piece of fan art, or send an email to tell someone that you

admire what they do, and don’t expect anything back. It is liberating to

just…gush - or it was for me at least.

Here are a few of the pieces that I created with just a little bit about the people that I am enamored with. The full mush-fest is on my blog; grab a toothbrush, ‘cause they are sugary sweet!

NEON FUTURE The electric dance music (EDM) scene is raging and taking its stand in global entertainment, and Miami-born Steve Aoki is shining through as one of its frontrunners. Not only is he a world renowned DJ, but he has created his own music label that is the epicenter of an EDM storm. For the past 15 years, Aoki's label, Dim Mak Records, has been changing the face of EDM. "Dim Mak has committed itself to maintaining a progressive mindset in the music community, and has thrived on its commitment to staying one step ahead of the game in all realms of the music industry." -Dim Mak Records. Art Hive Magazine had the pleasure of sitting down with Steve while at Liv nightclub in Miami to talk about what drives him creatively and musically.

By Angela Yungk


ART HIVE: You just killed it out there! How do you maintain that level of energy through-out the show? AOKI: It’s a reciprocal kind of feeling, where the audience and I are really recycling all the energy. The energy moves back and forth until it turns into this crazy ball of chaos and fun!

AH: Is that chaotic mindset how you go about creating your music?AOKI: That is definitely more controlled and a completely different process. (laughs) This (performance) is the end-all of the whole process of making the music. After the music is created and ready for the public to consume and understand the translation,

then that’s when it gets to the club or the show and we get to play with this “ani-mal” together.

AH: How did you end up getting into the music scene?AOKI: I’ve always been a music junkie. First and foremost, I’m a fan and I’ve al-ways been like that from day one. I was a tween when I picked up my first guitar and started playing in bands, then later signing bands and artists, and then moved to re-mix those artists; it was definitely a slow process. I’ve been producing for the last 10 years now, so it’s exciting to see how it's all evolved.

AH: What are your thoughts on the ever-changing electronic dance music (EDM) scene? AOKI: Dance music lives, breaths and thrives in clubs like LIV and whatever way it changes over time and no matter how it’s influenced by the greater population, it’s always going to exist here. I love com-ing back to spaces like this and testing out new songs, like from my Neon Future Pt.1 album; I played a lot of the songs off the album tonight to test out mixes and hear how the crowd reacts.

AH: Speaking of your new album, your newest song with Waka Flocka is amaz-ing! How do you go about choosing the artists you collaborate with? AOKI: Every artist I work with is a case-by-case scenario. So, with Waka Flocka we toured together across the U.S. for two months. It was an incredible tour and was kind of an experiment to see how the crowds would join together. It was my most favorite tour I’ve ever done. We actually wrote that song (Rage the Night Away) together on tour. It was a by-prod-uct of us hanging out, partying together, and raging together on tour.

“I’ve always been a music junkie. First and foremost, I’m a fan and I’ve always been like that from

day one.”

30 FALL 2014

AH: You’re obviously an extremely busy guy with your music career, your clothing line, and your own music label - what are you currently working on? AOKI: My album, Neon Future Pt.1, is my main focus and part two is coming out next year so I’m busy promoting it all around the world. I’m also putting out vid-eos constantly. I just put out the Free the Madness video, and we have more videos coming out soon. I’m going back to L.A next week to shoot Get Me Outta Here.

AH: What piece of advice you would give to someone just starting out in the music scene? AOKI: The most important thing is consis-tency. You want to continue to do your craft over and over again and you’ll even-tually hit a lot of hurdles. You may fall on your face more times than you are actu-ally running, but the hardest part is get-ting back up and having the courage to keep going. So you’ve got to keep consis-tent because eventually you will fall less. I mean, you’ll still fall; I’m still eating shit on all kinds of stuff, metaphorically speaking. But it’s all part of the process and part of life.

AH: Since we’re on the subject of eating shit - how in the world did you come up with caking people during your shows? AOKI: There was a music video (Turn Up the Volume) from the artist Autoérotique and in the video there are cakes exploding after people blow out the candles. It was this epic, cinematic video, all done in slow motion and was really, really cool. So, I was promoting this artist because they’re on my label (Dim Mak), and I thought - I’m going to play the song and then I’m going to bring out this cake and hopefully have people get the connection between the video and the song. It was an experiment and you don’t know what’s going to hap-pen. There are no rules. In the beginning I only brought out one cake so there was only one person who got the cake. It went to the one guy who really wanted the cake, and there is always one person who wants the cake. If you want the cake, you will get the cake.

Neon Future 1 is now available anywhere music is sold.

CREATIVITY NEVER SLEEPS


PASTThe Sundy House, located in Downtown Delray Beach, Florida, was built in 1902 by John Shaw Sundy, the first mayor of Delray Beach. Tucked away off Swinton Ave, the Sundy House served as the initial hub to the community, housing the City’s first bank, church and school. The tranquil and beautiful Sun-dy House is registered on the National Registrar of Historic Places.

PRESENTNestled on almost two lush acres of rare tropical plants, the Sundy House boasts an award-winning restaurant and inn. Ranked as one of the coun-try’s top wedding destinations, the Sundy House’s Sundy Brunch offers manned-stations with a variety of global cuisines, and has won the Palm Beach Post’s “Best Brunch and Most Romantic Restaurant”

award. For your next vacation, the Sundy House offers twelve uniquely-designed bungalows as well as matchless

naturalized, freshwater swimming pools for your rest and relaxation.

FUTUREThe Sundy House will be receiving

a makeover that will bring the already impressive grounds to a greater level. Recently ac-quired by Hudson Holdings LLC, a fully integrated real estate company, the neigh-borhood surrounding the Sundy House will undergo a much needed redevelop-

ment that will bring in a fresh new vibe and appearance to

the area. Hudson Holdings LLC has slated multiple projects to

revitalize the Sundy House, its sur-rounding grounds and the neighbor-

ing properties, totaling 7 acres. Some of these projects include:

Crazy schedules, strange sleep habits, and bizarre moments of creative inspiration at 3am are sometimes trademarks of many highly creative people. But what if you decide you would like to sleep through the night, or fall asleep at a ‘reasonable hour’ like the rest of the ‘normies’. Maybe you have tried the traditional advice like sleeping on a regular schedule, avoiding caffeine and exercising regularly. After all of these options are exhausted and you still can’t put together a solid nights sleep, or can’t seem to fall asleep before the Australians start to dominate the front page of Reddit, you may ask if an over the counter (OTC) sleep aid is right for you?Let’s examine what’s out there.

Diphenhydramine & Doxylamine

Sleep aids like Unisom, Benadryl, ZzzQuil, Tylenol PM, Nytol, and countless other store brands all basically contain the active ingredient diphenhydramine or doxylamine. Usually the only difference is packaging, market-ing, or an extra ingredient for pain. These are antihistamines that have drowsiness as a side effect. Although they are rela-tively effective for most, a toler-ance can develop quickly and like any OTC medication, they are far from completely safe. You may experience dry mouth, dizziness, a ‘hangover effect’ the next day, and they have the potential to interact with many other drugs and conditions.

Valerian Root

Valerian root has been used to promote overall sleep and help treat anxiety. There are numerous studies out there that may or may not support valerian as a truly effective sleep aid. The active ingredi-ent of valerian is not com-pletely clear and different preparations may have dif-ferent potencies. Although relatively safe, it does have the potential for certain drug interactions such as with other depressants, and cer-tain drugs metabolized by the liver.

Melatonin

Melatonin is a hormone involved in the natural sleep wake cycle. Melatonin’s effect is usually milder than antihistamine based sleep aids and may help with ‘Jet Lag’ or falling asleep faster. Melatonin based sleep aids are also not without their side effects. Daytime dizzi-ness, drowsiness and head-aches can occur along with less commonly seen side effects like irritability and depression.

SOME THINGS TO KEEP IN MIND WHEN THINKING ABOUT STARTING AN OVER THE COUNTER (OTC) SLEEP AID...

• If you decide to use an OTC sleep aid, it should be considered a temporary solution and not used in excess of 2 weeks.

• Over the counter (OTC) dose not mean completely safe or without drug interactions. Consult your doctor or pharmacist before starting. Doxylamine and Diphen hydramine are not recommended for people with certain conditions including: glaucoma, difficulty urinating, asthma, COPD or severe liver disease.

• Alcohol, benzodiazepines like Xanax, and other sedating sub stances will have an additive effect with sleep aids. Use caution and avoid combining these.

• Avoid driving and operating heavy machinery, including that Caterpillar 797 dump truck with the 13 foot tall tires.

The mechanism of sleep is complex and problems sleeping can have an array of underlying causes and solutions. Keep in mind that your doctor may be able to recommend behavioral changes to help with better ‘sleep hygiene’ or prescription sleep aids may be appropriate. In some cases OTC sleep aids may play a role in short term relief.

Southeastern University and has been practicing since 2007.

David Bromstad is another Miami local highlighting the talent of South

Florida. This multitalented artist has showcased his personality and skill

on HGTV’s Design Star, where he not only came out as the winner, but also

convinced America we needed to see more of him, thus hosting his own

show, Color Splash. His work is unique in his field, refined yet innovative,

and always an eclectic mix of color.

By Angela Yungk

ART HIVE: What inspired you to audition for HGTV’s Design Star?David Bromstad: I just happened to enter; it was just one of those very bizarre, crazy things to be in the right place at the right moment. I’ve never done adult interior design before, so I learned how to do interior design for adults on television. I was fabricating kids rooms for model homes throughout the southeast, and I was only kind of doing the interior design, and I was doing wall murals and such. So that’s how I got on Design Star - because of my kids rooms. I think they put me on because they knew I was talented, but I really think they put me on because they thought I wasn’t going to get past the first few episodes [laughing]!

AH: You didn’t just make it past those episodes, you won the whole show!DB: Yes! Well, I just didn’t want to be eliminated first [laughing]. I was seeing what the competition was made of and I started to realize it was all about “do-it-yourself” and I was like, “I do everything myself!” I was kind of a one man show when it came to my kids rooms and fabricating props; I just wanted to make it to the top four, and then when I made it as a finalist, I was like, “Oh yeah, I am going to win this!”

AH: Do you have any tips for novice designers to incorporate color in a room?DB: Well, a lot of times people go to paint to add color to a wall, but that can be a lot of commitment. The key is you want to bring in color slowly. Go buy some throw pillows, go buy some accessories and some art that can all kind of coordinate together; mix and match it around the room and your going to have a really beautifully designed space.

AH: You are very open about being out in the LGBT community; has it been a great experience to share that side of your life?DB: Oh, it has been an amazing experience! But it was also a reason I thought that I really wasn’t going to win (Design Star). I was up against this really pretty Southern girl who was absolutely amazing; she represented exactly what America seemed to be gravitating for. I knew I couldn’t be anything but myself. HGTV had been so amazing and they really encouraged me to be myself. It has been an amazing experience of positivity.

AH: I noticed you are working with the women’s shoe company, Naturalizer. What created that collaboration?DB: The collaboration started with me doing a painting; they turned the painting into a print and they put it onto the shoes and the handbags. It’s a really exciting project. We did the exact same thing for the fall collection and it’s a little different; it’s very sexy, it’s very hip, it’s very now. It’s been a very fun collaboration and also something very unusual. I’m like, “Oh my gosh, I’m doing women’s shoes.” [laughing]

AH: Do you have a piece of advice for artists just starting out that you wish you had when you first began your creative career?DB: The thing I always tell artists is that if you want to be an artist, make sure that every job you do has some art related moments. Never stray off your art path and never go for the money, go for the experience. Everyone has to put in their dues. You have to stick with it; if you don’t stick with it, you not going to go far. I have always stuck with it - no matter how obscure the job was, it was always something art related.

Celebrating The Joy And Whimsy In Life With Sculptor

JEFF WHYMAN by Lucy Lazarony

HY

Internationally known and Delray Beach-based artist Jeff Whyman creates through steel and clay and fire. His large, steel sculp-tures “celebrate the joy, innocence, love and whimsy in life." He calls his ceramic pieces “intergalactic.”

Art Hive spoke with him about his art and having the great ceramic artist Peter Voulkos as a mentor.

Lucy: What draws you to sculpture as an art form?

JW: I like the three-dimensional physicality of sculpture. I like building, tearing apart and rebuilding… I like the unexpected of what happens. In working with the materi-als, it comes forth from you.

Lucy: Why do you work in steel?

JW: I like metal that’s been recycled, come out of demolition and gone through a his-tory already….I like the sound and smell of industrial steel arts. There’s an intense fire,

a very focused fire that you use for cutting steel.”

Lucy: Why do you infuse the figures in your large steel sculptures with human emo-tions? JW: To celebrate the joy, innocence, love and whimsy in life. It’s kind of an industrial approach to classical figurative expression. Drawing a bridge between the scale and construction and the timeless, hard quali-ties to the gentleness of human experience and the innocence of our life.

It’s a person of some kind. There’s an ex-pression of mood and life, an expression of celebrating life rather than just a steel I-beam and pipe. I want to share my heart. I think people long to share a heartfelt ex-pression in a beautiful way.”

LUCY: What do you enjoy about working in clay for your smaller pieces -- vases, teapots, platters, bowls and mugs?

JW: I also enjoy throwing on the wheel. My basic root is a potter…Mixing the clay, add-ing things and then loading them up, bring-ing forth the unexpected. I’m in control but in a lack of control. Building textures and surfaces with the hopeful expectation of the unexpected.

LUCY: You had the great ceramic artist Pe-ter Voulkos as a mentor when you were a young artist. Please tell me about that ex-perience. JW: He was the founding father of the ce-ramics movement as an art form from the early 50s, post-World War II. I studied with him. I lived with him and taught with him for 17 years. He adopted me and took me in. I was blessed. I met him when I was 19. It was a beautiful, loving, powerful relationship and he always respected me.”

The City of

BOYNTON BEACH comes to life with the KINETIC ARTS MOVEMENT

Many forms of art demonstrate and celebrate the beauty of movement, whether it be with brush strokes or the curve of a sculpted bust, but there is one form of art that achieves this in a more literal sense: Kinetic art. Kinetic art in its basic form is called the mobile, which is a hanging sculpture that is often created by fixtures that give it balance and stability. Being that kinetic art is a versatile art form, it can be seen in many different variations. From the very well-known rolling ball machines to wind chimes (musical art), to interactive art that often requires participation from the onlooker. Kinetic art that is produced to move by wind, water, solar, gravity, and electricity, giving this art form true diversity while using elements from the environment.

“Although its history is deep, kinetic art wasn’t established as a major artistic movement until the1950's. Kinetic art has been around since the early 20th century but it did

not become a modern art form until a few artists, including Naum Gabo and Laszlo Moholy-Nagy began to use electric machinery in their

sculptures.” - Jo Rose

There are many leaders in the field of kinetic art that showcase a multitude of forms, from Jean Tinguely, who created sculptures that portray an active presence, to Marcel Duchamp, who created the Bicycle Wheel which is considered the first piece of kinetic art. Alexander Calder is known for his invention of the mobile and performance piece “Cirque” that recreated an American circus. Also, George Rickey, who created sculptures with a stable base and moving components. And finally, Victor Vasarely, known as the father of “Op Art".

“Kinetic art was created by artists who pushed the boundaries of traditional, static art forms to

introduce visual experiences that would engage the audience and profoundly change the course of

modern art.” –Theo Jansen
