#22 with Marcus Marcus and James Oscar Lee

Welcome back to ARTMATTERS: The Podcast for ArtistsHappy New Years! On today’s episode i sit down with two terrific detroit-based artists. James Oscar Lee is a painter and textile artist, and Marcus Marcus, a multi-hyphenate, who develops music, performance art, and practical design. These two have been friends for years, and are frequent collaborators, one of the many reasons i asked them both to sit down and speak with me today. In this conversation we  discuss the shifting productivity of their artistic careers, the quiet after finishing up a project, how they stay confident while exploring new platforms or media, working for others, working together, old guy tools, and a brief look into their daily studio practice. About Marcus Marcus:A dreamer learning to execute in the fields of Performance, Music and Practical Design. Born in Detroit, Raised in Southfield.About James Oscar Lee:James Oscar Lee is a Detroit-based painter and leather goods designer. His colorful abstract style on large-scale paintings layers figurative gestures and disrupted landscapes that tell multiple stories upon closer inspection. Each stroke of a brush or drag of a palette knife is meticulously but emotionally placed, like that of a note by a composer. Deeply inspired by music, the avant-garde sounds of both local and well-known musicians in part guide his every action as he paints. If you're enjoying the podcast so far, please rate, review, subscribe and SHARE ON INSTAGRAM!      If you have an any questions you want answered, write in to [email protected] the Podcast:Host: Isaac Mann www.isaacmann.cominsta: @isaac.mann Guest 1: Marcus Marcus https://open.spotify.com/artist/5thcH28PybtL9eWDG6DIbM?si=kOGHZRXBTR28DOmO8hKwuginsta: @hellclam Guest 2: James Oscar Lee https://www.jamesoscarlee.com/ insta: @understands_absolutely_not
