“I’m not a researcher, or a scientist, or a psychologist; I’m just an artist, a guy interested in what it means to challenge my being, to dive deeper into what it means to be human.”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

\"\"<\/a>Artist (& SO much more) Timothy Goodman<\/a> joins the show to talk about his gorgeous new graphic memoir: I ALWAYS THINK IT’S FOREVER: A Love Story Set in Paris As Told By An Unreliable But Earnest Narrator<\/a> (Simon Element). We get into how his murals and online posts coalesced into a memoir, the nature of attachment disorder and heartbreak, Timothy’s penchant for social experiment<\/a>, what drove him to spend a year in Paris in 2019, and why he used a variety of mediums to tell a single story (& in the process tell a much<\/em> bigger story). We also talk about his artistic history & influences, the drive to fill every inch of the canvas, using art for social good, the musicality of his art & art-making process, how he graduated from house painting to design to art, and his Excalibur moment of discovering the Sharpie<\/a>. Plus we discuss toxic masculinity & therapy, the difference between traveling the world and depaysement, our favorite NBA teams, and more. Give it a listen!<\/a> And go read I ALWAYS THINK IT’S FOREVER<\/a>!<\/p>\n

“All my work is about a canvas or wall of discovery that I need to fill up. I’m really about filling up every inch of the canvas.”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
