Art is storytelling
The “art” of the art is to be able to tell a story with your craft. Many of us think of a story as something you can either read in a book, listen to on your iPod, or watch on a television screen. The fact is though, that the best artists of our time and from days gone by have told a story with their medium of choice and it was never about the brushes, the hammers, or the computers, but rather about the story and the passion behind the work that glows through.
Today, I was listening to an inspired podcast by my good friend John Meadows called “On the Log“, and the story that he was able to weave along with the thoughts that he wanted to get across combined with the flawless audio production to me was “Artistic”. John has come a long way in the Podcasting world and has improved his delivery after each and every episode he has done. His non-pretentious attitude towards the engagement of his community no matter how large or small is a breath of fresh air! Every week, John tries to tie in the old with the new, bringing what many would consider old fashioned values to a community of high tech enthusiasts.
This next month, I will be speaking at Podcamp Boston 3 on web 2.0 tools meshing with creativity and the arts. John, in my mind embodies the ability to create art with web 2.0 tools through his podcast and I am proud to be his friend.
