Funding Your Art Part 1 - Canadians Avoid USA Travel

Cannabis Goldsmith - A Show About Art and Design ·

2025/12/17

I'm going to document my experience seeking funding for a book of photography and for a documentary film. I am hoping it will help others who are seeking to fund art. It will be journalism, but also provide the steps I will take to secure or fail to secure funding for my projects. This first part of the series is about getting your thinking clear and straight about what you want to fund and why, before you even think about how much money you will need for your projects.It turns out the USA

Is it a restoration? An art project? The Maitland Tower is an incredible historical riverfront property being developed into community art and event spaces by Philip Ling. I went upriver to have a look, and learned how this project combines the modern and the old in new ways that will grow art in South Eastern Ontario.I also talk about why it's important to license creative work from artists instead of stealing it for commercial purposes.The Maitland Tower Websitehttps://maitlandtower.caTRIBE –

2025/11/26

As podcasts I once trusted for news, journalism, and truth become chat shows or mouthpieces for a handful of US tech companies trying to justify their extreme valuations, I take a step back and consider if I really need their advertorial content or banter. I am cutting them out of my life becausethey are spreading slop now too. It’s time to focus on truth, art, and the real.I talk about how emotionally trying it can be for an artist to look at work they produced when young. There are a lot of

Petr Válek and THE VAPE Synthesizers - Big Diamond...

Cannabis Goldsmith - A Show About Art and Design ·

2025/11/19

One of the greatest human experiences you can have is when you resonate with an artist's work, or it resonates with you on some almost unconscious level. Petr Válek's synthesizers are hand-built from found materials and embellished with designs coming from a very deep place in a rural area in the Czech Republic. They are also fun and comical. How can an art object contain such multitudes? How can I buy one of these for my own studio?In the second half of the show I talk about all the big

Media Literacy 101. The American media pundits are coming into Canada to sell books and influence our politics. They are appearing on our state funded current affairs shows as "news” but this is not news, it is US marketing funded by Canadian tax dollars. The first part of this episode describes the hypocrisy of American media pundits who use marketing, disinformation or polarization to sell more books and podcast subscriptions to Canadians and Europeans, while capitalizing on their own

2025/11/05

I describe the difference between the news media space in Canada and the United States, and why I believe most Canadian journalism is now state funded government propaganda. I describe how I get my news from a variety of non-Canadian sources to kludge together a view of what is going on in my own country.I talk about an incredible brooch from the house of Boivin that was designed in the 1950’s, auctioned in 2013, and then completely vanished into a private collection.

I Wrote the Prime Minister

2025/10/29

My Mom taught me how to write a decent letter of complaint, so I wrote one to our Prime Minister, Mark Carney, who seems to have moved on from the impressive date-specific unaccomplished achievements he promised to Canadians just a few short months ago, in order to get elected. I gave him some suggestions and told him Canada needs a sales and marketing focus to increase foreign exports, not political speeches. We can already sell into non-US markets so why aren’t we doing that? I don’t expect a

I’m already designing a Canadian themed Sterling Silver trophy belt buckle for the 2026 Calgary Stampede, based around a Sugar Maple leaf from my own tree in the front yard. This silver masterwork will be packed with cultural and national symbolism. Who will wear it to the Stampede next year?It is just too sad to watch the USA spiraling toward civil war or becoming a failed state.

The gallery that forgot Canada

Artists can be prickly, but we are brave. In this episode, I artsplain why the National Gallery of Canada and its new director, Jean-François Bélisle, need to get out of their offices and into Canadian communities to connect with artists on the ground. If only our national arts institutions would support Canadian artists instead of generating bold yet meaningless policy rhetoric.I marvel at how the recent National Gallery Annual Public Meeting, held on September 8th in Fredericton, has absolutely

The USA has shot itself in the face. I have never seen brand destruction like this before. They are doing absolutely everything they can to drive away their friends and customers. We in Canada are buying Canadian and non-USA products. Customers around the world will soon avoid purchasing USA made products on principal alone, and this presents business opportunities for us outside America, if we can figure out how to trade with each other.TRIBE - Custom precious metal jewelry pieces for corporate

Diamond prices drop further, and Botswana, a country where 20% of their effective GDP comes from mining natural diamonds, is in deep trouble. Over 25 international post offices are refusing to ship packages to the United States and this will cause problems for artists trying to reach US customers.
