In case you can’t tell by the conversation, I am a real fan of these two. Chris &amp; Anne Lukeman are genius escape room designers that come to the artform via the lens of independent film makers. Their escape rooms are based on Anne and Chris’ favorite movies &amp; tropes, and are not just piles of puzzles. These two are masters of the most unusual, and underrated, modern art forms.CU Adventures in Time &amp; Space <a href="https://cuadventures.com/" rel="nofollow">https://cuadventures.com/</a>Play at Home (The Lost Temple) <a href="https://cuadventures.com/at-home" rel="nofollow">https://cuadventures.com/at-home</a>Twitter <a href="https://twitter.com/cu_adventures" rel="nofollow">https://twitter.com/cu_adventures</a>Instagram <a href="https://www.instagram.com/cu_adventures/" rel="nofollow">https://www.instagram.com/cu_adventures/</a>FaceBook <a href="https://www.facebook.com/CUAdventures" rel="nofollow">https://www.facebook.com/CUAdventures</a> Intro Music by Friedrich Habetler <a href="https://www.friedrichhabetlermusic.com/" rel="nofollow">https://www.friedrichhabetlermusic.com/</a>Exit Music by Alexy Rom <a href="https://www.youtube.com/c/pianosynthorgan/videos" rel="nofollow">https://www.youtube.com/c/pianosynthorgan/videos</a>

Jenna is such a marvelous and joyous person, that I married her. Yes, my wife is an artist. Professionally she is a musician, singer and teacher. However, in recent years Jenna has started to explore multiple different arts, art techniques, materials, and means of expression. This is one of my favorite episodes because it is rare that an artist makes a discovery-of-self during the podcast. So, if you like a good story, listen in. Enjoy.Intro Music by Friedrich Habetler https://www.friedrichhabetlermusic.com/Exit Music by Alexy Rom https://www.youtube.com/c/pianosynthorgan/videos

Tom & Cindy

Never in my life have I met two more reluctant artists.  Cindy and Tom are each geniuses in their own right, but as a team they are the most phenomenal, inspiring, giving artists I know. The local theatre community regards Cindy & Tom as indispensable artists and trusted colleagues, yet they refuse the accolades. Take a listen and you will fall in love with them. Enjoy.

This week on Art Nerds is the extremely talented, super smart, and freakishly eclectic musician and writer Riley Ann. She is a multi-faceted artist working out of Ft. Collins, Colorado and, despite her young age, she has actually been influenced by an 8-track tape! Through the course of our talk, I came to admire her drive and attitude towards ‘writer’s block’. Riley Ann seems to continually challenges herself (and others), and strive to become a more prolific artist. She’s intuitive introspective empathetic, aware, and not to spoil anything, but we may be starting work on a new rock-opera. Just sayin’. Riley Ann: <a href="http://www.rileyannsound.com" rel="nofollow">www.rileyannsound.com</a> <a href="https://www.facebook.com/riley.ann.351" rel="nofollow">https://www.facebook.com/riley.ann.351</a><a href="https://www.instagram.com/rileyannsound/" rel="nofollow">https://www.instagram.com/rileyannsound/</a>The Catcalls:<a href="http://www.thecatcallsband.com" rel="nofollow">www.thecatcallsband.com</a><a href="https://www.facebook.com/TheCatcalls" rel="nofollow">https://www.facebook.com/TheCatcalls</a><a href="https://www.instagram.com/thecatcalls/" rel="nofollow">https://www.instagram.com/thecatcalls/</a>Back to the Mountain Band:<a href="https://www.facebook.com/backtothemountainband" rel="nofollow">https://www.facebook.com/backtothemountainband</a><a href="https://www.instagram.com/backtothemountainband/" rel="nofollow">https://www.instagram.com/backtothemountainband/</a>Make More Everything Challenge:  <a href="https://makemorefoco.com" rel="nofollow">https://makemorefoco.com</a>Intro Music by Friedrich Habetler <a href="https://www.friedrichhabetlermusic.com/" rel="nofollow">https://www.friedrichhabetlermusic.com/</a>Exit Music by Alexy Rom <a href="https://www.youtube.com/c/pianosynthorgan/videos" rel="nofollow">https://www.youtube.com/c/pianosynthorgan/videos</a>

Katye thinks big and dreams even bigger. She is determined to redefine ‘art’ to include all forms of artistic expression. It’s wonderful to find an artist who takes such joy in the creation of their art, and truly believes art can bring us all together. Just take a listen to Katye and you will walk away believing art can indeed change the world. Enjoy.KTKannibal - <a href="https://www.ktkannibal.com/" rel="nofollow">https://www.ktkannibal.com/</a>Prism Studios - <a href="https://www.prismstudiospaint.com/" rel="nofollow">https://www.prismstudiospaint.com/</a>Urbana-Champaign Independent Media Center - <a href="https://www.ucimc.org/" rel="nofollow">https://www.ucimc.org/</a>Intro Music by Friedrich Habetler <a href="https://www.friedrichhabetlermusic.com/" rel="nofollow">https://www.friedrichhabetlermusic.com/</a>Exit Music by Alexy Rom <a href="https://www.youtube.com/c/pianosynthorgan/videos" rel="nofollow">https://www.youtube.com/c/pianosynthorgan/videos</a>

Meet Rob Poe, the creative mastermind behind the long-running webseries Space Hospital. Think one part daytime soap (that one in a hospital), one part lost in space, and one part 70s kitch, and you get Space Hospital. Yes, we were absolutely influenced by the social norms of 1970s television. Are we still allowed to think Archie Bunker is funny? It was an absolute delight getting caught up with my old college chum, and a great deep-dive discussion. Enjoy.Space Hospital <a href="https://www.youtube.com/user/spacehospital" rel="nofollow">https://www.youtube.com/user/spacehospital</a>Intro Music by Friedrich Habetler <a href="https://www.friedrichhabetlermusic.com/" rel="nofollow">https://www.friedrichhabetlermusic.com/</a>Exit Music by Alexy Rom <a href="https://www.youtube.com/c/pianosynthorgan/videos" rel="nofollow">https://www.youtube.com/c/pianosynthorgan/videos</a>

Alicia Buskirk, a.k.a. The Midwest Midnight Checkout Queen, is not only a delightful human being, but a fake professional wrestler! OMG!! (OK, I kinda geeked out a little bit on this one).
