05 Not A Hobby: Dirk Rathke
20/02/2017 Duration: 20minThis episode is a little different than the previous Not A Hobby interviews - our guest is Dirk Rathke, an artist living and working in Berlin, Germany, and he does not have a full time job that he balances with his art career. But I wanted to interview him anyways since I feel like there is a fascination among the artist community in the US that longingly looks to their European colleagues. There is a sense that the funding and general support from the European governments for their artists is much more generous, so that they are able to focus full time on their art career without having to take 2nd or even third jobs. Dirk is a painter and has lived in Berlin quite some time. He was in Houston for an exhibition late last year and I wanted to ask him some frank questions about what the assistance situation is really like in Germany. You’ll be surprised how familiar it all sounds despite some glaring differences.

Listen to Shannon discuss her work, her multiple jobs, the fun of adjunct teaching, and hopes for what will come next after her "coffee break" from Starbucks.

01 Not A Hobby: Solomon Kane
09/09/2016 Duration: 21minBeing an artist is a lot of work. Not only do you have to continuously come up with good ideas and then execute them, but you also have to deal with the professional side of things, including promoting yourself, which often has no relation to the creative part of making work. And still, most artists don't make their living off of their art work. But they don't stop being artists. So to make ends meet, many artists have another job. Welcome to Not a Hobby, where we interview those artists who balance a full-time job and an art career. For these people, being an artist is not just a something you do in your leisure time. Episode 1 of Not A Hobby interviews Houston artist Solomon Kane.
