    NFTs

    On this SOLO SHOT episode of Artini 🍸🎨, host Kim Ratliff jumps into the glittery, chaotic, sometimes head-scratching world of NFTs 🤯🖼️—inspired by Netflix’s documentary Minted 📺💥. From overnight crypto-fame 🚀 to the dramatic NFT cooldown ❄️📉, Kim spills the tea on how digital tokens flipped the art world upside down. She chats about big wins for artists 🌍✨, blockchain mysteries 🧩⛓️, and the not-so-fun stuff like authenticity drama 🕵️‍♀️ , “wait…what just happened?” moments, where NFTs stand now 🧐⏳ and whether they’re a revolutionary chapter in art history—or just a very expensive screenshot 🖱️😂. Cheers to art, tech, and a little digital chaos! 🥂💻🎉 Got an Artis to suggest? Let us know: Artinipod@gmail.com Artini Music is registerd with Pixabay, free, legally allowed to use it.

    Yayoi Kusama/Solo Shot

    This episode is a Solo Shot with Kim Ratliff 🥃, diving into the endlessly fascinating life of Yayoi Kusama — the artist who turned childhood hallucinations, mental illness, and relentless obsession into one of the most recognizable visual languages in contemporary art. 🔴 From her traumatic upbringing in Japan, to her rise (and erasure) in 1960s New York, to her radical nude performances, anti-war protests, and deeply intimate relationship with artist Joseph Cornell, Kusama’s story is equal parts brilliance and survival. I talk about: Her lifelong experiences with schizophreniaThe Infinity Net paintings and obsession as therapyWhy she left NYC and voluntarily lives in a psychiatric hospital todayHow she outlasted the art world that tried to ignore her All while connecting the dots (yes, those dots 🔴) between art, control, and staying alive. 📺 Watch the documentary discussed in this episode:Kusama: Infinity (2018) — available on Amazon Prime Video👉 https://www.amazon.com/Kusama-Infinity-Yayoi/dp/B07C7K7V8F Grab a drink, stare into the infinite void, and try not to dissolve completely. 🍹✨ Share your thoughts, questions or requests!

    Salvador Dali

    Buckle up, buttercup—we’re diving into the wild, surreal world of Salvador Dalí, the man who turned melting clocks into a lifestyle choice. From his eccentric childhood to his explosive rise in the Surrealist movement, we unpack the art, the ego, the mustache… and the muse who ruled his life, Gala. Expect dreams, drama, and a little delicious Dalí-level weirdness. 🥸✨ Whether he’s collaborating with Disney, stirring up Surrealist scandals, or painting the subconscious like it owes him money, Dalí delivers. And we’re here for every flamboyant second. 🌪️🍭 Book: "Steal Like and Artist" Dali's Disney Animation ** He was also asked to do a sequence for Hichcock! We left that part out! Sooorryy! xoxo

    Frida Kalho

    Grab your tequila (or your paintbrush) — we’re diving headfirst into the kaleidoscope life of Frida Kahlo, the woman who turned heartbreak into high art and pain into pure magic. In this episode, we sip and spill about Frida — both the Oscar-winning film with Salma Hayek and the Amazon Prime documentary that digs deep into the real Frida behind the flowers. Expect wild love stories, unapologetic self-portraits, monkeys in the house, communist cameos, and more tequila than a cantina at closing time. We’ll talk about her explosive relationship with Diego Rivera (the ultimate “it’s complicated”), her fearless bisexuality, and how she made her suffering into something vibrant, political, and shockingly modern. Between her surreal self-portraits and that iconic brow that launched a thousand T-shirts, Frida reminds us what it means to live out loud. So mix yourself something strong, settle into your favorite chair, and join us for a night of laughter, color, and chaos — because if Frida taught us anything, it’s that beauty doesn’t come from perfection… it comes from passion. 💋🎨🔥 Frida, the movie on Amazon Prime Video Frida, the documentary on Amazon Prime Video Cheerful-electro-swing from Pixabay, free Got an Artis to suggest?
