I like the way he's not about the money. A lot of painters are all about how much they get for a painting. They measure success by the amount they get. I never put my price up in 25 years. Because I love to paint for the average person who appreciates the art soooo much more than the rich. The rich just buy them because they can. Usually means nothing to them. When you put a painting in an average persons house they are talking about that art for there rest of their life. They treasure it like it's the best thing they ever had. Iv made many people cry with paintings Iv done for them, many people, but never a wealthy person.
He is! But he already has been a huge Star in the music world in his past life. I had the chance to meet him in 2002 and he didn't change at all. And at the time he was already huge in that Neo Metal scene, making magazine covers with his band 🙂
I love Mark talking about trying to make yourself a “painter” quickly or doing it the long way where you learn all about it and over time make yourself into a more mature and better painter. Bravo!
Speaking about "human connections". I love this podcast and all the others because, they give me that human connection. It is refreshing to hear artists talk about the emotional and mental grind they go through every time they produce art. I can relate with that, and to hear them talk about the same, is comforting.
I love how honest Mark is about his journey as an artist. His analogy of follow the money, the work, or the quality is something all of us struggle as an artist. Thank you Andrew Tischler for this amazing interview of an amazing person.
Andrew thank you for doing this podcast, you introduced us to Mark in your first podcast with him and I have been following his progress, and so doing this follow up was amazing thank you man❤️
My thought on ai. As someone who knows the baseline of how ai works and as an artist myself, as it is rn. I think it’s a totally unethical. Ai takes in images and mashes them together to make “new” things. Algorithms don’t take inspiration. They don’t take in human emotion. They do what they’re told in code and spit out mashed up and usually ugly or very smoothed in images. And it’s unethical cause it is stealing. Ai databases get filled without permission, actual artists work and then mash up with others to make an image. No matter how someone tries to spin it, it’s not inspiration or reference. It’s just plain stealing. Plus most artists make art to express themselves. To me real artists do it to express and put their passion into. People who want cheap knockoffs in 5 minutes, aren’t artists. They’re consumers who don’t want to pay for skill. Or tech bros to make money off of real work.
It's a tool and it needs to be learnt in order to get the most out of it. It's not meant to replace artists and it allows ordinary people who are not artists, the opportunity to create something artistic and in doing so it gets more people interested in art and in the process it elevates the work of artists, by appreciating the skill involved. As for stealing, no its not stealing, created works can be influenced by a look or oeuvre of an established artist but they can never be passed off as one of your works because they do not have the provenance of one of your works. I use it because it allows me to visualise my wildest ideas without wasting a canvas, my oil paints and my time. It's not human art, it's AI art.
AI art is subjective, for now. It's only going to get better and even the fake "smoothed" aspect will be gone, leaving us with absolutely no way to tell other than some kind of digital signature. I'm really on the fence bc as a tool to create original art, it's trash to me. But as a tool to help inspire true artists it is pretty great, but a fine line.
It is stealing! No one can use someone’s work to make a profit without consent. Those companies are thieves, and whoever uses their products is taking part on the theft.
I really appreciated the honestly from Mark and from you Andrew. Mark’s take on AI rings true… people still want human connection and artists want the process. Thank’s once again Andrew
I really enjoyed this conversation with Mark and yourself. Not just about the painting but exploring the elements within human connection. Just as your interview explains those things that make being human intriguing and difficult with so many different layers. Yes, we need to show up and be present in the moment, that in itself sets the stage for many possibilities but the one opportunity to enjoy the space, to know we can make those decisions to focus on that one task like I am with exploring lots of ways to paint sea foam hitting the beach, some days I just paint over the top and start again but I learn from what I did before, I don't get lost in the time lost or method of not achieving the look I want. It's as your conversation leads to, those things that make painting meaningful, that measure of success. We're so thankful that we have people like yourself Andrew, that is offering your knowledge to many people and though you are successful as an artist applying yourself in this modern age, your giving back while also adding a wonderful human perspective to it all. Being able to communicate through art is super great, but stepping out beyond the easel and being real can be very difficult, yet it helps us grow as people which definitely must help our own attitude towards life and how we show up as ourselves. Being human is a blessing and a beautiful thing, being able to celebrate that in whatever we do has so many rewards, even in the challenging and tribulations there is ways to change, to adapt and to explore. Survival is that one answer of 'YES I WILL OR NO I WONT, AND NO MATTER WHAT, IM GOING TO BE OK'. Many blessings and keep going well. Love the Tisch daggers by the way, interesting to hear about Mark's brushes and process, awesome human being with knowledge and growth through adversity.
First off, thank you Andrew for doing a show with Mark and polling user questions to ask him. As an oil painter myself, I'm deeply in love with Mark's work (especially the use of luminiousity and contrast). I've always loved hearing other artists speak about their process and seeing that process and how it informs the work. Great job on the interview, I'll be checking out the videos.
First l admire your generosity of spirit to acknowledge and appreciate another artist's gift. To hear the journey of both of you gives so much insight into artistic searching. Thanks to making beauty to feed our souls!😊
Thoroughly enjoyed this video presentation Andrew! I’ve always loved your work and had recently discovered Mark’s work and his vivid portrayal of the west. You can feel the passion in his subjects and color variations. It is inspiring and that pushes all artists to become better! Thanks!
Thank you Andrew, for sharing and doing this interview or talk with Mark... straight from the heart n soul of the man... the human connection to our art :)
I really love how Mark responds, very up straight, a real educator❤ So glad I got to watch this, 1hour felt like 30minutes cos I wished it didn't have to end.. Thanks for putting this up Andrew👏🏽 you're a blessing!❤
I love to hear how Photoshop is just accepted now in this conversation. Yet I am old enough to recall when Photoshop was viewed just like AI is viewed now.
I found this interview so inspiring and this man is so interesting and candid. I could listen to him for hours. Us artists are introverts and big worriers and we use art to erase our worries.
Another greatly introspective interview, full of inspiration and solid information from both of you, Andrew. The wrap up regarding the meaning of success was meaningful to me, a reminder to show up and do the work as best possible, instead of stressing about details and future. As you said, dream big and focus on the day.
I'll admit I have had some doubts about my painting lately. But to hear Mark went through similar things, at the same age, really motivates me. Thank's so much Andrew.
This dude is awesome! Such a solid point about the movies and why you need the human connection. This was a classic conversation, thanks brother andrew!
Thank you guys for this terrific podcast. I am so impressed with Mark as an artist, and a person and can’t believe what he has achieved in the last 8 to 10 years. His courage to pursue his happiness is truly inspiring.
Thank you guys for that talk, that was very inspiring. Looking after Mark's band since I was a boy and when he showed up with his paintings I got my eyes full of wonder. Im in the beginning of the way and every single word from such a talented guys as you means much for me. Thanks for what you are doing, being yourself, guiding us with the light of your own example. Much respect!
Thank You Andrew for this podcast with Mark Maggiori. It was so wonderfully down to earth and real. I admire you both so much. And you are definitely as good as Mark. Don’t you worry. You are absolutely fabulous . I love both of your work because I know that both of you put your hearts in it. This is what I am doing too when I paint. Though I m far away from your quality. Thank you. I wish you and your family only the best.
A highly interesting interview: the amount of effort and persistence and dedication and experience needed to become an accomplished artist..The one takeaway must be life style balance. Only you and your family can make career choice fit a successful life at the end of the day. I hope both you and Mr Maggiori will remain mindful of that reality..ED Adair
Andrew you are an amazing individual. You never cease to amaze me with your unselfishness.❤ and of course you're beautiful paintings ❤ thank you so much for your tutorials sharing your knowledge and abilities you're such a talented person❤ love your personality. Your pleasure to watch God bless you, yours and your career.❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤ God bless you man❤
I truly enjoyed your podcast thank you for bringing the information to many of us who hope to become successful happy artists I agree with Mr MAGGIORI comments on AI we are still human and need the connection
Thank you for this learning experience, and I'm happy this not another exploitive on American Indian arts, but as an artist who feels and sees as one should to create.
Tisch, I just saw this and thought it was great. His style in reminiscent of Hildebrand Brothers. I am getting back into my art after a 65 year absence. As part of your academy learning almost too much to process…but: AI! I have spent two weeks looking at a plethora of AI CZcamss and found that the tools are excellent, however there are many who have no art ability claiming to have as they solely use the AI generated images…used as a tool allows me to play with a variety of compositions, the truth is as M and you state “creative hand gives the work of art that personal connection, not the photo or computer”…blessings and happiness new year. William Fort Worth, Texas
wow!!! thank you it was inspiring. There is a war in Israel, causing a great deal of anger, pain, bereavement, and, above all, uncertainty. Your podcast provided a moment of sanity and optimism."
I really enjoyed this interview and was so impressed with the openness and honesty of both artists. My takeaway? Make my art as good as I can get it and hope that I'm able to achieve success by choosing subjects I love to paint. God's speed Andrew
What an excellent podcast!! Thank you!! Thank you!! Congrats to Mark and his path. I don't in know how to use paint on my canvas, I use all kinds of leather. I have learned so much from Andrew's videos. I look forward to following Mark, too! No fear of IA.
Thank you for being you Andrew! You're a, for real,!. So do appreciate your honesty, and your unselfishness! You're so very talented and I believe an excellent father, and not ashamed of it! You're my kind of guy! Love love love your work I don't believe there's anything in this world that you can't paint.
Great interview. We’re lucky to have an original of his, which we bought about 10 years ago. We’re probably going to sell it soon; just need to find the venue.
Thanks man for this video. Love both of you. On AI- personally, my biggest concern as a painter is painting, and even if a robot can paint a Rembrandt one day, it doesn't take away my opportunity to go out and paint a Hughey (me). I completely 100% agree with Mark. It's about pushing yourself to be a great painter with a desire to achieve excellent quality. And the beauty of art is quality can be different for each artist, the attributes of a work that are important to the artist are unique to the artist. That's a matter of the soul, very human and very special. Thanks for doing what you do, it's good for my soul. And thanks to Mark for sharing his insights. 😊❤
OMG!!! WOW!!! What do you say about that awesome art "they're very nice"..no way...they are stunning. Incredible.. that one with the sun on the clouds - he certainly knows how to capture the light, or the Native Americans - the backgrounds were up front and centre!! or the last one with the enormous clouds being the focal point in the whole painting with the tiny cowboy seemingly insignificant but not.... don't want to waffle on.. but did I hear Mark say he was asked to lower the price or even negotiate on his art...people should be offering to pay double because he is not charging enough.....mmm I'm only10 mins into this video cheers from WA and a big THANK YOU to you both. OK I've watched the whole episode now and thank you Andrew for bring Mark to us. I am not a student but I am a follower/subscriber off your art channel - unfortunately I do not do FB, Insta' etc so what I see here I am most appreciative of. AI.. anyone (well not me but most people) can learn how to use a computer but not everyone has the talent to paint like either yourself or Mark. I used to make my own cards but go to a market and people say the photos on my cards are nice but then go to the stall next door and buy 6 for $2 computer generated ones...so false. I don't even like changing my photos, what I take is what I paint, if I'm going to change it so much with computer programs/apps etc then why did I take the pic in the first place. I agree with what Mark said about AI making kids brains into much.. you only have to see how many problems kids have because of technology today.. I hear the term "kids are addicted to their phones etc"...where are the parents they should just set down the rules 'no phone at the table'. Only have a hour or so of tech a day. teach them to play and socialise not troll their 'friends'.. that's not friendship and it will not teach them life skills. Again quoting Mark people want to see how a game is played not just someone who has practised kicking goals over and over or hitting aces to the same corner but cant play a decent game.. that's not sportsmanship and its not interesting or exciting.. I think all high school students should watch videos like this, not just for the subject of art but the subject of life. I laughed at Mark exchanging his daily activities with his wife.."I painted a horses head today"... i love that you both still interact with your families when you can and its not all about squirreling yourselves away in your studios all day every day...life still happens around you you need to participate sometimes in between your genius moments. Apologies from this 70 year old chickie from Western Australia for the long diatribe - thanks for an awesome video Andrew and to Mark thank you so much for your time especially as we could all see how much pain your were in. I hope your holidays went well, your back got better (buy yourself a TENS Machine - Transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation they are brilliant...the size of a mobile phone a gadget for pain.. they work) and I wish you luck in your move to Arizona. I will certainly be looking at your channel too :)... OUTSTANDING!!!!!
Great interview guys. Really enjoyed hearing about Marks successes that came from following his heart and instincts. Not always an easy choice but I believe that If we run with our God given talents, we will eventually realize our best selves. Great stuff!
I was reluctant to watch this, knowing that I’m a beginner artist-no shows, no fame but I’m glad I did! The question and answer about what he was exploring or trying to push I can relate to because I’m always trying to figure out what I need to do better or if there’s a different direction I want to take! Bottom line, inspiring
No need to compare yourself with these guys they are just so damned interesting to listen to no matter what your age.. Im 70.. I think kids could learn a lot of life lessons from listening to Mark. Happy painting no matter what stage you are at, as long as you are enjoying it. We dont all have the luxury of genius :)
Thank you for this, fascinating. Re: AI, I think in terms of history and the impact of photography to the artists of the late 1800's and early 1900's. With this historical perspective and the advantage of hindsight, when applied to the impact of AI to today's world of art, I see a clear path. Yes, there will be an impact quite similar, and yet very different. We will understand with the passage of time the true cost. There will be those who see the advantages and others who are crushed in the wake of it all. As an example, portraiture. Prior to photography portraits were in the hands of artists. With photography anyone could obtain a likeness. With time, we appreciate Sargent, Bouguereau, Klimt, even Van Gogh and so on. Mark said "the human element". It is more than that, it is the act of creation. No machine to this day can create. They can only alter what already exists.
I think the main reason why portraiture has survived is the fact, that a painting is not just a snapshot, but an experience that comes with an emotional connection to long term memory. A painted portrait is kind of like a celebration. Because of that, there will be little excitement to even look at what AI will do. The automated portrait is just what the label say: artificial. Who wants to look at an artificial standardized industrial image anyway? So the impact of AI might turn out to be surprisingly low long term.
Hi guys, I've commented about AI before and I feel that it's the artist who interests most of us. As in: how did he/she get to that creative practice, how did they get the inspiration to put their lives into their enterprise? It sure ain't money! Art is an expression of our humanity. A mirror of our emotions and creating something from nothing is more human than any technology created by said humans. Cheers.
I like the way he's not about the money. A lot of painters are all about how much they get for a painting. They measure success by the amount they get. I never put my price up in 25 years. Because I love to paint for the average person who appreciates the art soooo much more than the rich. The rich just buy them because they can. Usually means nothing to them. When you put a painting in an average persons house they are talking about that art for there rest of their life. They treasure it like it's the best thing they ever had. Iv made many people cry with paintings Iv done for them, many people, but never a wealthy person.
Loved how he’s relatable! The huge sell if his painting doesn’t seem to have changed him or made him arrogant. Seems like a very down to earth guy.
He is! But he already has been a huge Star in the music world in his past life. I had the chance to meet him in 2002 and he didn't change at all. And at the time he was already huge in that Neo Metal scene, making magazine covers with his band 🙂
The genuine nature of the way Mark speaks on all sorts of topics is refreshing and inspiring. Thank you for the interview to both of you!
Both artists are legends
They really are! I have followed them both and taken a video class from Andrew.
I love Mark talking about trying to make yourself a “painter” quickly or doing it the long way where you learn all about it and over time make yourself into a more mature and better painter. Bravo!
Speaking about "human connections". I love this podcast and all the others because, they give me that human connection. It is refreshing to hear artists talk about the emotional and mental grind they go through every time they produce art. I can relate with that, and to hear them talk about the same, is comforting.
No, a legend takes decades to earn. Don’t throw that word around so easily. They are good artists but not legends and probably never will be.
They're both mediocre.
Listening to Mark describe his journey is super inspiring and makes me want to work harder, too. Thanks Andrew for bringing this to us.
I love how honest Mark is about his journey as an artist. His analogy of follow the money, the work, or the quality is something all of us struggle as an artist. Thank you Andrew Tischler for this amazing interview of an amazing person.
You two are very talented I like the emotion you create in your works and absolutely love golden hour !
Andrew thank you for doing this podcast, you introduced us to Mark in your first podcast with him and I have been following his progress, and so doing this follow up was amazing thank you man❤️
My thought on ai. As someone who knows the baseline of how ai works and as an artist myself, as it is rn. I think it’s a totally unethical.

They do what they’re told in code and spit out mashed up and usually ugly or very smoothed in images. And it’s unethical cause it is stealing.

Still not sure. Always easy to give someone else the credit! Time will tell!!!! Still AI?
AI art is subjective, for now. It's only going to get better and even the fake "smoothed" aspect will be gone, leaving us with absolutely no way to tell other than some kind of digital signature. I'm really on the fence bc as a tool to create original art, it's trash to me. But as a tool to help inspire true artists it is pretty great, but a fine line.

That's not fair Mark, I just spent half an hour writing my thoughts and you said it all in 3 lines :(...
Great interview❤ I'm so happy for Mark Maggiori and his success! It gives hope for many artists... keep painting !
Thank you Andrew, for sharing and doing this interview or talk with Mark... straight from the heart n soul of the man... the human connection to our art :)
Some big goodhearted chat here, and art was just the ríght medium to convey it. Awesome.
Both individuals are quality men. Very inspirational.
My two favorite artists in the same podcast! Thank you for this phenomenal interview!
I really love how Mark responds, very up straight, a real educator❤
So glad I got to watch this, 1hour felt like 30minutes cos I wished it didn't have to end..
Thanks for putting this up Andrew👏🏽 you're a blessing!❤
I love to hear how Photoshop is just accepted now in this conversation. Yet I am old enough to recall when Photoshop was viewed just like AI is viewed now.
Been following Mark from his Nu Metal band Pleymo. He became such a professional painter!
I found this interview so inspiring and this man is so interesting and candid. I could listen to him for hours. Us artists are introverts and big worriers and we use art to erase our worries.
You both inspire me. Thanks, wonderful.
You are both incredible artists. You helped me more than any other artist out there. Your videos have been invaluable to my journey as a painter.
Another greatly introspective interview, full of inspiration and solid information from both of you, Andrew. The wrap up regarding the meaning of success was meaningful to me, a reminder to show up and do the work as best possible, instead of stressing about details and future. As you said, dream big and focus on the day.
Thanks for making this happen, loved hearing from Mark and having a window into his creative process and thinking.
Andrew. Please keep doing these podcasts? Thank you.
They are a sort of "recharge/reset/power-up" for me.
I'll admit I have had some doubts about my painting lately. But to hear Mark went through similar things, at the same age, really motivates me. Thank's so much Andrew.
Love these podcasts, glad you were able to pick them up again. Thank you.
This dude is awesome! Such a solid point about the movies and why you need the human connection. This was a classic conversation, thanks brother andrew!
This is really cool conversation. I was a gallery owner years ago, and now I am a painter, and it's such a process. Thank you...
Awesome interview! Thanks to both of you! ❤
"A.I. -it's like getting someone to eat your food for you!" - Love it! Loved the podcast too. Thanks Andrew and Mark!
Thank you guys for this terrific podcast. I am so impressed with Mark as an artist, and a person and can’t believe what he has achieved in the last 8 to 10 years. His courage to pursue his happiness is truly inspiring.
i found him randomly on Instagram and fell in love with his art. i got me a "sonoran magnetism" painting in my room now and i absolutely love it!
wonderfull interveiw Andrew ,thank you xx
Good interview. Lots of information. Andrew kept the discussion moving. It sounded like a conversation between friends instead of a news report.
Andrew, your interviews are always so interesting and well presented. Thank you so much for sharing!
I am so dead I discovered your Chanel, Andrew. It was a great pleasure listening to the two of you, and I will continue to watch you from now on. ❤❤❤
Thanks cuz so inspiring. I've wanted to listen to Mark talk for a while now and it is great to dive into his brain.
i am watching your videos everytime i learned a lot from you GOD bless you
What a treat to hear you two brilliant painters. I felt like a fly on a wall!
Thank you guys for that talk, that was very inspiring. Looking after Mark's band since I was a boy and when he showed up with his paintings I got my eyes full of wonder. Im in the beginning of the way and every single word from such a talented guys as you means much for me. Thanks for what you are doing, being yourself, guiding us with the light of your own example.

Thanks Tische that was very relatable. Great to see two artists hashing it out that can relate to each other.😊
Thank You Andrew for this podcast with Mark Maggiori. It was so wonderfully down to earth and real. I admire you both so much. And you are definitely as good as Mark. Don’t you worry. You are absolutely fabulous . I love both of your work because I know that both of you put your hearts in it. This is what I am doing too when I paint. Though I m far away from your quality. Thank you. I wish you and your family only the best.
I have seen his work before. It stuck to me. Great to see a name and a face to such tough of class art!
A highly interesting interview: the amount of effort and persistence and dedication and experience needed to become an accomplished artist..The one takeaway must be life style balance. Only you and your family can make career choice fit a successful life at the end of the day. I hope both you and Mr Maggiori will remain mindful of that

Great Interview and loved the discussion on AI. Well thought out.
Aah I started following Mark's work around the same time I started following you! Wonderful to see you both chatting. Both incredible artists✨
Success is getting better at your craft. What an awesome definition!
Cannot beat the human touch the human hand the stroke of the brush from the artists 👨🎨 hand ✋
Such an insightful interview. Loved this so much!
Can't thank you enough for this podcast! Thumbs up 💯 times if I could. It helps those of us who are just starting to know where to point the ship. ❤
another amazing video, not only with mark, but with your amazing inspiration to spur the soul , I love it
Excellent conversation! So important, so interesting. Thank you Andrew for sharing this.
I truly enjoyed your podcast thank you for bringing the information to many of us who hope to become successful happy artists
I agree with Mr MAGGIORI comments on AI
we are still human and need the connection
Both of them great artists with good personalities, very ejoyable to follow them on social media
Wow,,, what an interview ,,, Thank you Andrew for doing these ,,, Mark is such a down to earth guy an amazing skilled painter,,, thanks
Got to watch his talk prior to his auction event. Very interesting journey.
I really enjoyed listening to this. Very informative & interesting insights shared. Wonderful art! Thanks Andrew & Mark!👍❤
Weird! Yesterday I ordered a tube of violet gray from Blick! 😀
Love the idea of listening to audiobooks while painting!
Thank you for this learning experience, and I'm happy this not another exploitive on American Indian arts, but as an artist who feels and sees as one should to create.
Tisch, I just saw this and thought it was great. His style in reminiscent of Hildebrand Brothers.
I am getting back into my art after a 65 year absence. As part of your academy learning almost too much to process…but: AI! I have spent two weeks looking at a plethora of AI CZcamss and found that the tools are excellent, however there are many who have no art ability claiming to have as they solely use the AI generated images…used as a tool allows me to play with a variety of compositions, the truth is as M and you state “creative hand gives the work of art that personal connection, not the photo or computer”…blessings and happiness new year.

Great interview Andrew; lots of thoughtful responses an earnest questions answered.
i love that just about all artists have such good hearts
WOW!!! What an amazing listen. As someone who also works alone making art I found the discussion about it extremely entertaining :)
Such an inspiring interview that will motivate me to work even harder in painting! Thanks Andrew and Mark!
thanks for all your content, Andrew! You always have something to inspire me to continue working!
wow!!! thank you it was inspiring.
There is a war in Israel, causing a great deal of anger, pain, bereavement, and, above all, uncertainty.
Your podcast provided a moment of sanity and optimism."
Thanks Andrew and Mark. A fabulous listen while painting. Extraordinary work🤗💓
An amazing interview. I really enjoyed watching it. Both of you are absolutely incredible artists. ❤❤
Very interesting! Would love to learn more about his printing buisness though... hope he'll be a guest on the podcast again!😊
I really enjoyed this interview and was so impressed with the openness and honesty of both artists. My takeaway? Make my art as good as I can get it and hope that I'm able to achieve success by choosing subjects I love to paint. God's speed Andrew
Love these podcasts 🤘🏻
On what platform you conduct these podcasts ?
What an excellent podcast!! Thank you!! Thank you!! Congrats to Mark and his path. I don't in know how to use paint on my canvas, I use all kinds of leather. I have learned so much from Andrew's videos. I look forward to following Mark, too! No fear of IA.
Thank you so much for posting this talk/interview
Thank you for being you Andrew! You're a, for real,!. So do appreciate your honesty, and your unselfishness! You're so very talented and I believe an excellent father, and not ashamed of it! You're my kind of guy! Love love love your work I don't believe there's anything in this world that you can't paint.
Marco is a true master!!!!
AMAZING :))))) Really feel inspired!!!
There will always be a huge space for Real Artists in an Ai world. Even Ai can not paint the way the 2 of you can paint!
Most of all, who wants to even see automated generated images?
I always forget he was in a band. When I heard him speak I was like...oh yeah. Such a great painter!!
Great interview. We’re lucky to have an original of his, which we bought about 10 years ago. We’re probably going to sell it soon; just need to find the venue.
Thanks man for this video. Love both of you. On AI- personally, my biggest concern as a painter is painting, and even if a robot can paint a Rembrandt one day, it doesn't take away my opportunity to go out and paint a Hughey (me). I completely 100% agree with Mark. It's about pushing yourself to be a great painter with a desire to achieve excellent quality. And the beauty of art is quality can be different for each artist, the attributes of a work that are important to the artist are unique to the artist. That's a matter of the soul, very human and very special. Thanks for doing what you do, it's good for my soul. And thanks to Mark for sharing his insights. 😊❤
So informative and humbling. Thank you.
Beyond inspiring. Thank you for this!
Lovely ! I wish we could see him working at the atelier
OMG!!! WOW!!! What do you say about that awesome art "they're very nice"..no way...they are stunning. Incredible.. that one with the sun on the clouds - he certainly knows how to capture the light, or the Native Americans - the backgrounds were up front and centre!! or the last one with the enormous clouds being the focal point in the whole painting with the tiny cowboy seemingly insignificant but not.... don't want to waffle on.. but did I hear Mark say he was asked to lower the price or even negotiate on his art...people should be offering to pay double because he is not charging enough.....mmm I'm only10 mins into this video cheers from WA and a big THANK YOU to you both. OK I've watched the whole episode now and thank you Andrew for bring Mark to us. I am not a student but I am a follower/subscriber off your art channel - unfortunately I do not do FB, Insta' etc so what I see here I am most appreciative of. AI.. anyone (well not me but most people) can learn how to use a computer but not everyone has the talent to paint like either yourself or Mark. I used to make my own cards but go to a market and people say the photos on my cards are nice but then go to the stall next door and buy 6 for $2 computer generated ones...so false. I don't even like changing my photos, what I take is what I paint, if I'm going to change it so much with computer programs/apps etc then why did I take the pic in the first place. I agree with what Mark said about AI making kids brains into much.. you only have to see how many problems kids have because of technology today.. I hear the term "kids are addicted to their phones etc"...where are the parents they should just set down the rules 'no phone at the table'. Only have a hour or so of tech a day. teach them to play and socialise not troll their 'friends'.. that's not friendship and it will not teach them life skills. Again quoting Mark people want to see how a game is played not just someone who has practised kicking goals over and over or hitting aces to the same corner but cant play a decent game.. that's not sportsmanship and its not interesting or exciting.. I think all high school students should watch videos like this, not just for the subject of art but the subject of life. I laughed at Mark exchanging his daily activities with his wife.."I painted a horses head today"... i love that you both still interact with your families when you can and its not all about squirreling yourselves away in your studios all day every day...life still happens around you you need to participate sometimes in between your genius moments. Apologies from this 70 year old chickie from Western Australia for the long diatribe - thanks for an awesome video Andrew and to Mark thank you so much for your time especially as we could all see how much pain your were in. I hope your holidays went well, your back got better (buy yourself a TENS Machine - Transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation they are brilliant...the size of a mobile phone a gadget for pain.. they work) and I wish you luck in your move to Arizona. I will certainly be looking at your channel too :)... OUTSTANDING!!!!!
I meant to say: I am so glad I discovered your Chanel.
Outstanding interview. Thank you
amazing interview!
His work is gorgeous
Great interview guys. Really enjoyed hearing about Marks successes that came from following his heart and instincts. Not always an easy choice but I believe that If we run with our God given talents, we will eventually realize our best selves.
Great stuff!
The two greatest in one place! 😍😍😍
I was reluctant to watch this, knowing that I’m a beginner artist-no shows, no fame but I’m glad I did! The question and answer about what he was exploring or trying to push I can relate to because I’m always trying to figure out what I need to do better or if there’s a different direction I want to take! Bottom line, inspiring
No need to compare yourself with these guys they are just so damned interesting to listen to no matter what your age.. Im 70.. I think kids could learn a lot of life lessons from listening to Mark. Happy painting no matter what stage you are at, as long as you are enjoying it. We dont all have the luxury of genius :)
Thank you for this, fascinating. Re: AI, I think in terms of history and the impact of photography to the artists of the late 1800's and early 1900's. With this historical perspective and the advantage of hindsight, when applied to the impact of AI to today's world of art, I see a clear path. Yes, there will be an impact quite similar, and yet very different. We will understand with the passage of time the true cost. There will be those who see the advantages and others who are crushed in the wake of it all. As an example, portraiture. Prior to photography portraits were in the hands of artists. With photography anyone could obtain a likeness. With time, we appreciate Sargent, Bouguereau, Klimt, even Van Gogh and so on. Mark said "the human element". It is more than that, it is the act of creation. No machine to this day can create. They can only alter what already exists.
I think the main reason why portraiture has survived is the fact, that a painting is not just a snapshot, but an experience that comes with an emotional connection to long term memory. A painted portrait is kind of like a celebration. Because of that, there will be little excitement to even look at what AI will do. The automated portrait is just what the label say: artificial. Who wants to look at an artificial standardized industrial image anyway? So the impact of AI might turn out to be surprisingly low long term.
I honestly loved this interview!!
Hi guys, I've commented about AI before and I feel that it's the artist who interests most of us. As in: how did he/she get to that creative practice, how did they get the inspiration to put their lives into their enterprise? It sure ain't money! Art is an expression of our humanity. A mirror of our emotions and creating something from nothing is more human than any technology created by said humans. Cheers.
