Artist Series: kaNO from IHCS on Vimeo.

It’s been ages since we’ve been able to deliver an Artist Series, but thanks to kaNO for granting us some time– here we are. Our interview with kaNO was the first that happened on the move. We started out in Dumbo, Brooklyn– one of my favorite areas in NYC, and moved its way to kaNO’s home and studio. For more from kaNO, consider following his blogs: Kimanyen | Kano Kid and his Twitter.

For those unfamiliar with the Artist Series segment, the Mr. and myself like to crash a New York City artist’s home and studio to understand how they work, where they started and what the future holds. The point of these interviews is not for a quick view, but is instead intended to really highlight some of the work that these incredibly talented artists have produced and have therefore been designed to watch at a leisurely pace. Hope you enjoy.

Since today is the preview night for San Diego Comic Con, what a better opportunity than now to release our interview with Steve Talkowski.

If you’re not familiar with Steve yet, you should be. For over a year, Steve has shared his process on bringing his Sketchbot character to life. And seeing his prototype in person, and the latest images have made it’s release a much anticipated one. Leave some love and feedback in the comments section.

Also, the Mr. is working on a second video completely dedicated to an in-depth view of Steve’s Sketchbot character. Steve showed us the 3D modeling along with the different version and changes that have been made to his art robot. Look forward to that soon.

And so, ladies and gentlemen, above you’ll find the latest project my Mr. and I have decided to dive into. Artist Series, is just what the name entails– we’ll be going around, hopefully, to the homes of NYC artists; and invade their homes, their studios, their kitchens, etc.; and learn more about them, their collections, and their current projects. The first artist, as you can tell from the title post is: Lou Pimentel. Keep reading to see images of some of Lou’s work, and read a little more about the CONTEST!
