This is a conversation about art- one work at a time. In each episode, artist R. Land revisits a single piece from his catalog, tracing its path from first idea to public life. Alongside executive producer Kim Drobes, Land explores how these works were made and how they moved through cities and culture. Through stories, reflection, and the occasional surprise, In Pieces with R. Land offers a closer look at the unpredictable life of art: the small decisions that shape it, the meanings that gather around it, and the ways a work continues to evolve long after it’s finished. This is art, after it leaves the studio.

    Loss Cat

    Before algorithms. Before memes. Before anything went viral on purpose. Loss Cat began late at night in a Kinko’s, with a forgotten image, a marker, and a joke that landed harder than expected. What started as a spontaneous, funny gesture, a sad-looking cat with exaggerated eyebrows and a few carefully chosen words, slowly made its way onto walls, poles, and sidewalks across Atlanta and beyond. In this episode, we talk with artist R. Land about how Loss Cat quietly became part of the visual landscape and how it morphed from a one-off flyer into a shared cultural reference point. We talk about the power of simplicity, the strange emotional weight of a pair of drawn-on eyebrows, and what it means to claim authorship once something you made starts living its own life. Special thanks to DJ, composer, and producer Chris Devoe for providing the theme music for this podcast.   If you’re enjoying “In Pieces with R.
