Cozy Armenian art, AI theft, and grandmothers | Maretta Aivazian

Welcome to the SECOND SEASON of Jazve Talks, the podcast where we spill the coffee, not the tea.Our next guest, Maretta Aivazian (https://www.instagram.com/artist_mara_aivazian/), is a graphic designer and illustrator known for her cozy and whimsical drawings of Armenian culture, and elderly people. (You may have noticed our new logo and brand identity – that's her creation, too!)But unfortunately, in the age of AI, no artist in the world is safe from generative slop and theft.One of Maretta's illustrations made in honor of her family was stolen and fed into AI. We spoke with her about this, childhood nostalgia, and our grandmothers. --Shout out to photographer Tatev Malumyan (https://www.instagram.com/tatevius/) for helping us film this episode.

Patti Talks Too Much Patti Hi. I'm Patti and it's been said - many times - that I talk too much. I'm a teacher, author, nature lover and for ten years I owned a coffeehouse cafe where my faith in the goodness of humans was restored every day. This podcast highlights the awesomeness of humanity - er...outside the warmongers, globalists, tyrants and politicians in general. You know, the rest of us weird, quirky and sometimes hilarious humans.We'll talk woo, probe mysteries and leave you thinking about something more interesting or entertaining or uplifting than your grocery list, or boss or that oil change your car needs. I talk too much because I can't help my Gemini moon and Leo Rising nature. I do a podcast because it's cheaper, funnier and more productive than therapy.
