In this episode, we get completely sidetracked discussing atheists and religion and fight over which painting God has hanging over his couch. Our guest, Jesse Smigel from Blackbird Studios, has plenty to dish about his upcoming Atheist art show at Blackbird, "Celebrating Existence."Here are some links to help guide you through the rarified experience of this episode:Blackbird StudiosJesse's Facebook pageJesse's YouTube channel Episode 3: Jesse Smigel by SinCityArtcast

Episode 2: Cindy Funkhouser

You have the pleasure and rare honor to be among the first to call yourselves Las Vegas art insiders, because somehow, you've stumbled upon the debut episode of the Sin City Artcast! Lucky you -- you get to hear it with warts and all. Though we're kinda new at this podcasting thing (well, most of us), we're not new at this Vegas art thing. Our goal (as will be explained in the episode) is basically to pimp Vegas-based visual artists, galleries and events, learn more through in-depth interviews, and possibly entertain and educate you along the way. Your hosts for the inaugural episode are:Danny Roberts - OverlordGina Quaranto - Giggle MistressPj Perez - Knob-TwiddlerAnd our special guest this episode is Dale Mathis, whose complex, often motorized sculptures are on display at Statement Art Gallery throughout the month of October.If you like what you hear, it would be super cool of you to "like" us on Facebook, subscribe via iTunes or RSS, and maybe even tell your friends.Here are some important links you might want to check out while listening:The Art of Dale MathisFirst Friday Las VegasStatement GalleryBlackbird StudiosOtherwiseThank you and we're sorry.
