FALL BLOCKBUSTER TRAVELING EXHIBITION:

Dinosaurs Around the World WHO: The South Florida Science Center and Aquarium is welcoming guests of all ages to experience their fall blockbuster exhibit, “Dinosaurs Around the World.”

WHAT: More than a dozen animatronic dinosaurs will literally be “moving” into the West Palm Beach venue, as the cutting edge exhibit looks like something out of a Spielberg film. The life-like replicas will roar, swing their tails and scratch their claws to the delight of tourists and locals all season. Some are so large that they actually have to be displayed outside the museum. “Dinosaurs Around the World” invites guests to travel back to an age when dinosaurs ruled the planet – no time machine required. In addition to the pack that will be on display like a prehistoric zoo, the exhibit also features a multi-layered narrative, fossils, authentic casts, cutting-edge research and immersive design elements. The resulting story is a clearly painted picture about the prehistoric planet and its early inhabitants.

CONVERSE’S CREATIVE CO LLABO R AT IO N The Summer 2015 Converse Chuck Taylor collection first debuted on the Milan runway, and shares its inspiration with the Missoni Men’s S/S 2015 Collection – drawing references from the urban surfer as he travels along the southern European and north African coastlines in search of the next great surf break, and a slice of bohemian hedonism. The collection is a visual narrative of his journey where European style converges with subtle Maghrebian influences.

The summer ready silhouettes reintroduce the toweling effect to loom knits that were once a dominant feature in Missoni’s often-bold menswear. This technique has been applied to a multi-stitch jacquard that forms the uppers of both the Chuck Taylor All Star ’70 ox, and Deck Star slip-on sneakers; a space-dyed mix of cotton, rayon and flax creating a vivid, rich textural surface with yellow, earthy accents. Solid egret white midsoles, toecaps and heel tabs compliment the look, and the collection is grounded with Missoni’s signature terracotta canvas on the sockliners.

Converse First String is a limited-edition collection that celebrates craftsmanship, authenticity and collaboration at the highest level.

October 16-17 + Friday at 7 pm + Saturday at 7 pm & 9:30 pm

Jerry Seinfeld

Entertainment icon Jerry Seinfeld’s comedy career took off after his first appearance on The Tonight Show Starring Johnny Carson in 1981.

Eight years later, he teamed up with fellow comedian Larry David to create what was to become the most successful comedy series in the history of television: Seinfeld. The show ran on NBC for nine seasons, winning numerous Emmy, Golden Globe and People’s Choice awards, and was named the greatest television show of all time in 2009 by TV Guide, and in 2012 was identified as the best sitcom ever in a 60 Minutes/Vanity Fair poll.

Alexander W. Dreyfoos, Jr. Concert Hall Tickets start at $60 Note: Tickets on sale since June 26.

January 16 at 8 pm (Saturday)

Kristin Chenoweth

The vivacious voice and sparkling stage presence of Tony Award winner Kristin Chenoweth has yielded a stack of musical theater, film and TV credits, including originating the role of Glinda in Wicked along with playing Annabeth Schott on The West Wing. The classically trained soprano, who portrayed a high school dropout on Glee, is one of the Great White Way’s most luminous stars and will perform favorites from Broadway and beyond.

Alexander W. Dreyfoos, Jr. Concert Hall Tickets start at $30

Young Croatian cellists Luka Sulic and Stjepan Hauser have achieved remarkable success by taking the cello to challenging new heights.

Their daring style breaks down boundaries between genres, from classical and film music to pop and rock. 2Cellos soared to fame in 2011 when a YouTube video of the pair playing Michael Jackson’s Smooth Criminal took the world by storm and lead to a Sony Masterworks record deal and an invitation to join Sir Elton John on tour.

Alexander W. Dreyfoos, Jr. Concert Hall Tickets start at $29 (For VIP Meet & Greet package information, visit kravis.org/2cellos or call the box office at 561-832-7469. Limited packages are available.)

The Grammy nominated musician, iconic for her folk songs and poetry, has released a new memoir, ‘Never Broken: Songs Are Only Half The Story’, and opens up with Art Hive Magazine about her life, career, and her winding road to happiness.

Interview by Angela Yungk

Photography by Kurt Markus

AH: I wanted to start from the beginning. You spent years of your childhood practicing and performing- what was it like to be a performer at such a young age?

J: I really liked practicing, it was like putting a puzzle together that you had to get better at all of the time. And that sort of led me to being in the family show, and when my parents separated at age eight I became a duet with my dad. I was probably the only person that went from elementary school right to the bar. I just kept practicing, but I did have a good skill set. By the time I was homeless…I wasn’t trying to get signed, I was just living in my car, trying to get by and the only thing I could figure was to sing. I had grown up making a living that way, and then I got discovered completely by accident.

AH: What led to that ‘accident’ of you getting signed?

J: I ended up homeless because I wouldn’t have sex with the boss, he wouldn’t give me my paycheck and my rent was due that day so I got kicked out of where I was living. And I was sick so often…and then when I was living in my car, my car got stolen and so I just ended up in the poverty cycle that was hard to get out of. So I started getting jobs at local coffee shops one night a week, writing enough material for a show, hoping I could just find an audience and get some door money to get rent money and get off the street. A radio DJ came in and I ended up getting a really great following and a buzz sort of built about me on the radio. He asked me to come in and record some acoustic songs, he said he would play them... he would play them at two in the morning and one of them was requested so much that it ended up in their top ten countdown next to Nirvana and Soundgarden. Who is this girl singing with an acoustic guitar that’s in the top ten in San Diego?

AH: I think about your career back when all that happened in the 90’s, and now with social media being so important for artists, do you think your career would have been different if you had been discovered via YouTube or something like that…and are you happy that you weren’t discovered in that way.

J: It was word of mouth which is what social media really is…

28

ARTHIVEMAGAZINE.COM

just gives people a greater mouthpiece, a broader reach. I found out I was actually in several college textbooks as one of the pioneers of grassroots marketing on the internet. Which is really because of my fan base, who created this network across the country as I began to tour…that first record was not successful for at least over a year, but I had built this very hardcore fan base. So I had like a 100 songs at the time but none of them were on the record…they would share these songs with each other and sort of create this army that I was able to mobilize and point in the direction of calling local radio stations and things like that.

AH: You have been very vocal about your experience being homeless. In a perfect world, what could or should be done to help the homeless population in our country?

J: Well, I think there are homeless youth and then there are homeless adults…I think that one thing that people don’t realize is that there are a lot of families that are literally one paycheck away from homelessness.

Just one kink in the chain, an unexpected medical bill or a car accident, things like that will literally make it where families can’t pay that month’s rent. And then there are families with two jobs, they may not have the best education or the best paying jobs. It’s really a much more prevalent problem than people realize, I think people seem to stigmatize it as just lazy people and really that’s not necessarily the case. And with homeless kids, they only go on the street when they feel safer on the streets than they do at home. We don’t have great systems for intervening and helping…I think foster care is great and that’s important, but at the same time mental health and really addressing emotional systems within families is too. I wish we had emotional education in schools from a young age so that we could start fostering and helping people. As much as we pass on our genetics to one another, we also pass on our emotional issues and systems of abuse, these are transferred from family to family…we need education to intervene. We learn math, home economics, and science but we don’t actually learn what it means to be fundamentally human and how to try to relate to one another, ways to handle anger and those types of things.

Jewel’s new memoir, Never Broken, and album, Picking up the Pieces, are both available this Fall.

“To develop on your own you have to spend time in silence and experiment to find originality.”

AH: In your past interviews you have mentioned not ever having gone through therapy or used drugs to get through your own hardships.What has kept you moving forward and given you strength?

J: I’m not against therapy or medication. I think that is a personal decision everyone is capable of making on their own. I would encourage people not to feel stigmatized by those things. We go to school and we learn Spanish or French, why not go somewhere to learn the emotional language? I didn’t have access to it because I didn’t have the money or the support around me to figure all of that out. But I do think that there are things-and one of the reasons I am writing this book-that people can do that are very practical, that took me forty years and a lot of pain to learn. The premise of the book is basically that happiness begins and ends with you and there is nobody else that stands in your way. That’s the way you need to look at.

AH: What is it like to have to stir up those emotions for your memoir, Never Broken. Was it something that came easy to you and were you excited to share this with your fans?

J: I’ve been thinking a long time about this book. It’s been a real process but again, people always say, ‘how can you be so honest?’ I feel like any of the emotions that I have aren’t unique. I didn’t invent any new emotions…every writer, every human feels these things. These are the particular things that have happened to me and I really believe that we can be resilient. Our negative experiences don’t have to harm us in a negative way as much as they can really help develop our character in a positive way.

30

ARTHIVEMAGAZINE.COM

AH: How do you stay inspired to continue your writing, whether it be your book or your music? What truly inspires you?

J: Writing has always been an extension of me. I think our minds always have a tendency to worry and to try to figure things out in a very myopic way. But if you check out of just your mind and look at your life and larger patterns then I think you can be quite effective at changing things.

The whole book is really about just being able to empower yourself, to give yourself permission to be very practical and pragmatic in all that you see.

AH: What other projects are you currently working on?

J: I am going to release an album with the book…and several of the songs will be about different times in my life.

It’s a folk record and will be a bookend for ‘Pieces of You’.

It’s very raw and I produced it myself.

AH: With all your years of experience, what advice would you want to share with an artist who is starting out?

J: Don’t assume somebody else knows what is best for your art than what silence can teach you. I think it’s important to really spend time in the quiet and really explore your own creativity in a very authentic and genuine way, otherwise it becomes a bit contrived. And that’s not to say that you don’t need influences, I think it’s great to listen to music and read books. The more educated and versed you are in great writing, the better the writer you will become. At the same time, I don’t necessarily recommend that people go to vocal teachers... and if you do, be quite careful with it because the only thing that we really have as leverage and currency as artists is our uniqueness of thought. To develop on your own you have to spend time in silence and experiment to find originality.

he dynamic design duo, Tarek and Christina from HGTV’s hit home renovation show Flip or Flop exemplify marital compromise to a T. Flip of Flop follows the couple through the ups and downs of buying distressed homes and renovating them from diamonds in the rough to desirable digs. Now in its third season, the highly successful show highlights the enormous risk involved when flipping homes and how they reach design compromise, all while making a profit.

Art Hive Magazine spoke with Tarek and Christina on what it takes to successfully flip and renovate a home, and some of the tips they have learned along the way.

You both have a great rapport with one another on screen! What advice do you have for couples who are in the process of renovating their own homes and have conflict with style decisions?

It’s all about compromise. Couples should each make a list of what’s important to them. Then go over the lists together and decide what things you agree on and what you can live without. When in conflict it’s best to try and find something you are both comfortable with. Since you will be living with it every day.

Where do you draw inspiration from when you are redesigning a house?

I spend a lot of time doing research on Pinterest and houzz. I also love LUXE magazine. It’s important to me to keep our design fresh and different.

What is your favorite home trend right now? Any trends you can’t stand and can’t wait to go away?

Right now we are loving concrete floors and reclaimed wood walls. We recently did a metallic wood wall in our son’s nursery and we are obsessed with it. It adds so much character and texture to the room. I used to be opposed to butcher block counters. But after using them I have to say they are growing on me. I really like some “glam” in my homes so it’s important to me that they don’t feel too masculine or simple.

34

ARTHIVEMAGAZINE.COM

What advice do you have for people looking to sell their home for top dollar?

First impressions are everything.

New carpet and a fresh coat of paint can go a long way. Make your home look as clean and clutter free as possible so buyers can picture themselves and their furniture living there.

In your opinion, when flipping a house, how do you renovate on a budget?

Choose designs that are simple and contemporary but that appeal to most people. A nice neutral laminate floor and subway tile with a contrasting grout color can be affordable and elegant. Also if not in budget, skip the structural changes (like taking down walls, etc.) and focus on a nice contemporary design.

Balancing your personal life with your busy careers must be difficult.

What do you both do to relax?

We are a big fan of “staycations”, we do a lot of one night getaways with our daughter at our favorite beach, Laguna. We also still have weekly date nights and Friday night family movie night at home.

What advice do you have for someone just starting out that aspires to have a career in real estate and design?

Work hard every day, focus on your goals and follow your dreams. Be prepared to do what others won’t!

FAKE IT ‘TIL YOU MAKE IT

FAKE IT ‘TIL YOU MAKE IT

JUST DO IT. You’ve heard the expression before—everyone has. But seriously, how many of us “just do it”? More often than not, we tend to waver and waffle, question our methods or motivations and increasingly rely on the advice of The Experts.

By Jon Hunt Illustration by Jon Hunt More at https://huntillustration.carbonmade.com

W

e are surrounded by “authorities” in every field: self-help gurus, cardiac surgeons, Macintosh certified technicians, equestrian portrait painters, New Age cat healers… The list is endless. We are indoctrinated via the insidious miasma of twenty four-hour-a-day advertising and the well-meant advice of our own mothers that we should only trust the bonded, certified, insured, terminally degreed, guaranteed, licensed, accredited and Google+ rated EXPERTS. And that’s all well and good—if you are hiring a contractor to fix the roof, a mechanic to service your transmission or a bounty hunter to roust out a delinquent client.

But I have learned a thing or two over the years that I was not taught in school. When it comes to art, no one (except hoity toity gallery owners) cares about your grades, degrees or extracurricular club activities. That’s right. I said it. NOBODY CARES. I am a freelance illustrator and writer. My first big time professional gig was writing and illustrating a children’s picturebook about the Middle Ages (Illuminations, 1989). I was fresh out of art school and raring to go. Did I have any prior experience illustrating books for children? No. Had I ever written for children? Um-- no. Did I have a degree in Medieval History? Heh, uhh, nope. Did I let any of that stop me from writing the book, producing sample illustrations and signing up for a conference where editors could see my work? Hell no! Did my editor ask for degrees, certifications, a college transcript or a resumé? Nope.

She did not. My editor bought the book because her own instincts told her it was something she wanted to publish. When it comes to making art and writing stories “the proof of the pudding is in the eating”. Which is an old proverb from the 1600s that basically means “Don’t trust what anyone says about that 38

sausage made out of old oatmeal and animal guts. The only way to know that it’s not gonna kill you is to eat it yourself ”. Wash that down with your lukewarm midnight coffee.

Don’t get me wrong— I’m not trying to get anyone to quit art school or drop their Society of Illustrators membership. However, my point is that you can do quite well in school, yet if you don’t have marketable skills, then you will falter in the professional world. And it can be daunting out there. Every job listing seems to require multiple years of experience and expert-level certification in every software application known to man, and honestly in some cases, you just can’t falsify or get around those requirements. But I will guarantee you this: If you present an art director with a kick-ass portfolio of images done with a professional polish and consistency that looks like the work she publishes, you. will. be. hired.

So how do you put together a portfolio that will get you noticed? Simple—You study the market that you wish to create images for—science fiction book covers, for example. You learn the rules, study the masters of the trade and ask working professionals for advice. You then proceed to make illustrations that look like science fiction book covers. You literally “fake it ‘til you make it”. Still don’t believe me? Well, check this out: As a personal project I created a digital painting to commemorate the 60th anniversary of Ray Bradbury’s seminal classic Fahrenheit 451. After seeing images of the cover that I had posted online, a Romanian book publisher licensed the use of the piece for their own edition of the book. And no, they didn’t ask me for a resumé. So, what’s the best advice I can give all of you aspiring illustrators? JUST DO IT. (and then do it again and again and again…)

CREATIVE CHATTER WITH SIMON DOONAN

CREATIVE CHATTER WITH FASHION GURU

SIMON DOONAN

By Jennifer Love Gironda

Photograph by Michael Childers

If we took a look at the ‘mood board’ inside of your mind, what would your current inspirations be?

At the moment I am revisiting 60’s psychedelic rock graphics, and Mid-Century surrealists like Max Ernst and Leonora Carrington, and Victorian fairy painting. I am having a trippy moment.

If you have to name one quintessential fashion icon from today for each category, who would they be?

Miley is very psychedelic and trippy. Caitlyn Jenner is very surreal and glamorous. Karlie Kloss would make a fabulous Victorian Titania.

Anyone who reads your works better be prepared to laugh, and laugh loudly! Is there any time that your sense of humor has gotten you into trouble?

No. I am invariably making fun of myself. So the only person to be deeply offended would be moi.

What is your favorite quote or fashion-saying?

“These shoes are really comfy and don’t hurt at all.” I love the denial which kicks in when women are wearing their fave mega-heels.

You have made such an impact with your work with Barneys New York. We’ve enjoyed reading about your ‘anything goes’ take on the window display. What were some of your favorites that you created?

The last windows I designed for Barneys had a Foodie theme. My fave was a demented food -fight with caricatures of all the celeb chefs hurling hummus and guacamole at each other.

Bon appettit!

You write about creating an impromptu itinerary for places to see in Los Angeles for Japanese fashion designer, Rei Kawakubo. If you had to create a similar itinerary for her in Miami, what would be some of your top picks?

If I had to entertain Rei in Miami I would try to find a Cuban drag bar. There used to be an amazing outdoor latin LGBTQ disco down by the docks called The Waterfront. I would check to see if it was still open.

If you had one piece of advice for twenty-year old Simon Doonan (or someone aspiring to be like you!), what would it be?

Easy on the booze. My pals and I used to get so totally wasted in our early 20’s, I cringe when I think of some of our exploits. Oy! More on the Author and Creative Ambassador for Barneys New York:

“My relationship with art started at an early age.

I’ve always felt a deep connection towards Fine Arts, especially painting and drawing. I graduated as an artisan and continued my arts education at the University of Arts in Cuba.

I’ve always been in search of ways to express my art with the world, and in 2011 this search brought me to this amazing country (USA) looking for new and better opportunities, both professional and personal. I feel the freedom to create and experiment with new and old techniques that are reflected in my paintings in order to satisfy my artistic curiosity.

I always yearn for a connection to be made between the public spectators and my paintings.

Most of my artworks are done using watercolor technique, but you can also appreciate my other forms of work like lithography and the use of ink, as an extension of my artistic experiments.

I long to learn more techniques and expand my knowledge. Art is love and everybody deserves it.”

hen you think bastions of creativity, culture and innovation, Broward County isn’t the first place that comes to mind. Metropolitan areas like New York, Los Angeles and Miami each conjure up a specific and unique vibe. There’s a palpable energy flowing through those cities. They have scenes, histories, and have been the birthplaces of distinct styles and movements.

For the most part, Broward County feels like it was left back in the 90’s, some areas even earlier, and the County Commission’s recent legislation rendering Uber all but inoperable hasn’t helped to curb that perception. Don’t get me wrong, there are still things happening here, but you have to know where to look.

Ft. Lauderdale in particular has struggled with stagnation.

Sure, there have been a handful of newer bars that popped up on Las Olas and some great restaurant concepts courtesy of groups like Be Nice (Coconuts, Red Cow and Foxy Brown) and JEY (ROK:BRGR, Public House and Primo’s); but for the most part, the Himmarshee area is stale with the same old bars and clubs with the same old sticky floors and counters you remember (or don’t) from junior year of college and the soundtrack to match - hit America’s Backyard on any weekend night and I’ll bet your tab you hear “Wobble”. Brickell Avenue has been dying a slow death for the past few years. I’d all but given up on the city in which I spent the better part of the second half of my life.

Then things started to change. Visionaries looked at the rundown warehouse districts and dilapidated buildings and saw potential. The shell that housed a Motorola factory in Oakland Park sat dormant for years until it was re-imagined by the Funky Buddha crew. A brewery and tap room evolved into a bottling plant and distribution center and they’re on the cusp of opening a kitchen. Lazer Wolf, which resides in what was a train station back in the ‘20s, recently celebrated its third birthday and all but ushered in the craft beer craze alongside the likes of Riverside Market. Then there’s the FAT Village.

The area a few blocks from downtown is what I’d refer to as ‘Wynwood-lite’ and fosters a budding arts community, with one of the anchors being C&I Studios - a creative multimedia agency led by husband and wife team Josh and Amy Miller. They were among the first pioneers to venture into the ghetto off Sistrunk and the railroad tracks and firmly plant their freak flag.

They’ve been at it for a few years and have embraced the spot by opening the doors to their studio to regularly host events like movie nights and barbecues. They even went so far as to throw their own music festival, aptly titled For The Love (FTL – FT Lauderdale – get it?), which is returning in March of 2016.

They’re a regular fixture in the art walks that take place on the last Saturday of every month, where practically every door is open and you never know what you’ll find inside. July’s art walk featured a swimsuit fashion show in the garden lot, complete

The highlight of August’s art walk was the silent disco thrown by C&I. You’re probably familiar or could at least venture a guess, but to the uninitiated, a silent disco is a dance party where everyone is jamming out to music being pumped through wireless headphones. Made popular at Bonaroo back in 2005, silent discos have been making appearances at events of every scale around the world. What’s the point? Well, it’s different. And fun. And a spectacle to watch. Most can appreciate the irony of a room full of people dancing and singing to no publicly perceivable sounds. C&I took it a step further by having three DJs perform at once and I happened to be one of them.

How’s that work exactly? Think radio stations in your car, except awesome songs instead of the same six you always hear.

Each of us broadcasted over a different radio channel and when listeners toggled between the three DJs, the lights on the headphones would change to match our respectively colored red, green or blue (yours truly) booths.

The point is that it’s fun, different and happening now, right here in Broward. These organizations are proving that it can be

done, but it takes great ideas, solid products and productions, good venues and staffs, perseverance and a whole helluvalot of hard work to make happen.

What’s next remains to be seen. While I haven’t been yet, Jump The Shark looks promising and if they can get the parking situation sorted, Rhythm & Vine has potential. There’s talk of a bar-arcade by the name of Another Castle opening near Funky Buddha, but from what I understand it’s hit a few road bumps.

Either way, the next big thing could be that spot you’ve always wanted to open. I leave you with a poem from English poet Arthur O’ Shaughnessy, the opening line of which you’ll probably recognize and can be found painted on a wall in the Funky Buddha’s tap room: We are the music makers, And we are the dreamers of dreams, Wandering by lone sea-breakers, And sitting by desolate streams;— World-losers and world-forsakers, On whom the pale moon gleams: Yet we are the movers and shakers.

T

he Art and Culture Center of Hollywood is helping celebrate the 100-year anniversary of Broward County in a big way. The Center commissioned internationally known and three-time Emmy Award-winning artist Wayne White to create a large-scale puppet of the county’s namesake, Napoleon Bonaparte Broward.

the students constructed their own original puppets based on an Everglades theme for display in the Interactive Art Room.

White and the students then marched the large puppets from ArtsPark at Young Circle in downtown Hollywood to the Art and Culture Center where they celebrated the opening of the exhibition.

The 12-foot puppet was created by White during a 10-day residency at the Center. For his first exhibition in Florida, the Los Angeles-based artist built the Napoleon puppet as the centerpiece of a gallery fun house he designed to include his witty “Word” paintings and new drawings from recent artist residencies in Key West and Captiva.

White won three Emmy Awards as a puppeteer and set designer on Pee-wee’s Playhouse, creating such iconic characters as Randy, Cool Cat, Dirty Dog, Chicky Baby, Roger the Monster, Mr. Kite, and Cowntess the Cow. He also worked in the music video industry, winning Billboard and MTV Music Video awards as an art director for The Smashing Pumpkins’ “Tonight, Tonight” and Peter Gabriel’s “Big Time.” His recent work as a puppeteer typically lampoons a person, place or thing with a sense of showmanship and sly humor, as evidenced in his Broward puppet. Prior subjects included puppets of Elvis Presley, George Jones, and Lyndon Johnson, and gallery installations of a boom town and a cubist cowboy rodeo.

The only-White-can-do-this Napoleon Bonaparte Broward puppet was created in conjunction with the year-long Broward 100 event that marks the centennial celebration of Broward County. As part of his residency, White also led workshops with nine talented high-school artists selected by the Center.

Napoleon Bonaparte Broward was the governor of Florida from 1905-09 and the County was named for him by the state upon its incorporation in 1915. He is known best for encouraging development in the region by initiating the drainage of the Everglades to create a rich agricultural plateau from he called “the fabulous muck.”

In addition to his three-dimensional works, White is renowned in the fine art world for his “word paintings.”

White repurposes vintage offset lithographs often found in thrift stores, and integrates them visually with painted phrases such as “Unfollow,” “Good Looking People Having Fun Without You,” and “Hoodathawt.”

The exhibition also showcases a selection of new works on paper that White created at artist residencies in Captiva (2013) and Key West (2015).

“I’ve always had the do-it-yourself approach,” White says of his artmaking practice.“I grew up in this blue collar family and didn’t have a lot of toys, so you had to make your own fun.

Building forts out of sticks and scrap lumber – that’s where I learned the joy of making something from nothing.”
