Peter Shear Interview

from ahtcast · host Phillip J. Mellen

Words of the day: pause. confusion. change and interested. This interview is with Bloomington, Indiana artist, Peter Shear. I asked about the beginnings of becoming an artist, and Shear talked about it as being a kind of attraction to it, and that can be what makes one an artist. I asked about education and a bit of the response I got was about "self-educating" without shortcuts, and much more. One of my direct questions was: "What is your favorite thing about the internet? A snippet of Shear's answer was: "It's where our..." On creative block? Answer: "It doesn't last..." Listen in for more! (due to a couple of audio blips, this interview is not recommended for headphones. Some strong language) The artist's website: petershear.com/home.html (original intro song by David T Miller and Phillip J. Mellen. Also appearing in this episode is the music of Clap Your Hands Say Yeah)
