Using his talents to think outside the box! Kurt Schmierer is an artist, graphic designer, photographer and lover of all medias TV/Radio/Magazines. Kurt has owned and run an online magazine called Proud Times for 8 years as Graphics Editor, Interviewer and the person who helped set up countless stories and coordinated over a dozen writers coast to coast. The magazine went from nothing to interviewing George Takei, Cyndi Lauper and backstage with Elton John in a short 8 years. During the 8 years of Proud Times, Kurt was also the wizard behind the curtain, the brain behind the forehead, and the proud producer of the number one growing show on KYRS. Joining the OUTSpoken crew in their first year, he helped to elevate OUTSpoken to the next level, being key in securing such national guests as Marc Solomon from Freedom to Marry, Ross Murray with GLAAD, and entertainers such as Anjelah Johnson, comedians – Lily Tomlin, Margaret Cho, Bruch Vilanch and Captain Kirk himself William Shatner. With his extensive 30 year background as an artist/painter, Kurt has turned his talents to media. His experience in marketing and managing different online media outlets through the years have brought him ready to support and grow that amazing talk show. Reproducing artists’ artwork for over 18 years Kurt has turned his radio show and magazine creative style to helping artists in all medium – painting, drawing, sculpting, photography, writing and acting become the stars they are and connect their talents to the public. The idea of artist simply was a long time, and after years of inquiries and questions, Kurt decided to put practice to practical use. His experience in the field makes him a great source of knowledge for artists striving for growth and expansion.
