The Saturated Life Podcast
Gabe Wells
Exploring an artist’s beliefs will bring their artwork to life. That is the goal for The Saturated Life podcast. Hosted by Gabe Wells. While growing as a painter, I wanted to learn more about what other professional artist do in their daily life. What brought them to this profession? Why are we drawn to creating artwork? What are the beliefs and ideologies that go into their artwork? So I reached out to professional artists around the United States and inviting them to have an open conversation about who they are and why they do what they do. My goal here was to open the studio doors and learn from professional artists creating mind-expanding pieces. This is not meant to be too serious, though I will be getting into some of the processes and habits of professional artists, I also want to have some fun and laugh along the way. I believe you can tell a lot about a person by what gets them to laugh, and what they joke about. I hope you like this podcast experiment and find it both informative and entertaining enough to come back and listen to all the inspiring artists I had the pleasure for talking to.
Cinematic Oil Painter Gabe Leonard
Artist podcast conversation with Gabe Leonard, a world-renowned “Cinematic Artist”, that has been producing highly sought after works collected by everyone from college students to Hollywood elites for over 25 years. We discussed painting technics like the importance of draftsmanship in order to be a good painter. Gabe explained the importance of being very gestural with your artwork, and to worry less about painstakingly rendering every little aspect of the painting perfectly. Don't worry about mistakes, everything can be fixed or painted over to try again. I learned why history plays a large role in his artwork. We discussed his humble beginnings of selling artwork on Venice Beach, art fairs, and eventually galleries world wide. We even discussed his first psilocybin experience at 37 helped him see the order in the world around him a more profound way.

Honoring Nature, Free Will, and Oil Painting with Martin Wittfooth
Martin Wittfooth uses masterful oil painting techniques to juxtapose animals with a backdrop of a dystopian future. The painting poses the question of what if the cities we lived in were no longer occupied by humans? Animals would come to be the new residents. His paintings add a magical surrealism feel creating beauty out of what could be labeled dystopian. This artist podcast conversation with Martin Wittfooth covered so much more than just art. What it's like living in New York City as a working artists. The challenges of time management was a topic covered because most artists struggle with this aspect of their lives. We discussed the role psychedelics have with seeing the world with a new perspective, and bringing that perspective to his paintings. Martin talked about the podcast he produced called Porter's Square, and how sharing through podcasting can change the conversation about art.
