    Isaac Schweitzer: A True Artist’s Love for Mixed Media Art

    In this episode, I sit down with Tampa-based mixed media artist Isaac Schweitzer, a creator whose work pulses with ornamental maximalism, dense patterns, layered imagery, and an unapologetic celebration of abundance. Together we explore the roots of his vivid artistic vision, the influences that shaped the way he sees beauty and culture, and the deeply personal process behind the intricate worlds he brings to life on canvas. What emerges is a portrait of an artist who lives fully in color, who honors tradition while forging his own path, and who reminds us that creativity is both a craft and a way of being. Join us for a rich, inspiring exchange that invites you to look closer, feel deeper, and perhaps rediscover the joy of expressive abundance in your own life. Some of the Pieces of art discussed in this episode: • Nightbloom – acrylic on canvas (11" × 14"), a self-portrait featuring dense background patterns • Ibogain Frequencies – a series of three related mixed-media pieces with abstract, African-inspired, tribal, and psychedelic elements • High Tide – a mixed-media / patchwork piece incorporating sewn fabrics and unconventional materials. See Isaac’s newest art in person at the Endless Summer exhibition When: Friday, August 21st at 8:30 pm Where: Artmosphere327 14th Ave S, St. Petersburg, FL Cost: Free Please see website for tickets https://www.eventbrite.com/e/endless-summer-art-show-opening-reception-at-artmosphere-open-studios-tickets-1994681519119?aff=oddtdtcreator Thanks for listening and remember to be kind to yourself XOXO -Bryson

    Faking it Till You Make it...But Make It Drag With Sasha Devaroe

    In this episode of For the Record with Bryson, I sit down with drag performer Sasha Devaroe for a conversation that’s funny, real, and unexpectedly grounding. We talk about what it actually means to “fake it till you make it,” how confidence is built over time, and how to stay sane in a world that’s constantly trying to tell you who you should be. Sasha opens up about her journey, her accomplishments, and what it’s taken to keep showing up as herself, even when there’s pressure to conform. We also touch on what’s been happening across the country with drag bans and why these conversations matter right now. If you’ve ever felt like you had to perform just to fit in… this one will hit.

    More Than Content: Ceji Flame on Survival, Growth, and Real Life

    This week, I’m sitting down with Ceji Flame for a conversation that goes way deeper than what you see online. We start off light with a little pop culture talk, but quickly get into Ceji’s story — how he got started in adult content, the reality behind the work, and the challenges that come with it. From navigating pressure and expectations to dealing with personal struggles, this episode pulls back the curtain in a real way. Ceji opens up about obstacles he’s faced along the way, including conversations around drug use, mental health, and what it takes to stay grounded when life starts pulling you in different directions. What stood out most to me is how he’s been able to stay focused, keep pushing forward, and come out stronger on the other side. This is an honest, unfiltered conversation about growth, resilience, and figuring things out in real time. Listener discretion advised — we touch on sensitive topics including substance use and mental health. ⸻ Resources (if you or someone you know needs support): ​Substance Abuse & Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA)National Helpline (Free, 24/7): 1-800-662-HELP (4357) https://www.samhsa.gov/find-help/national-helpline ​988 Suicide & Crisis LifelineCall or text 988 https://988lifeline.org ​The Trevor Project (LGBTQ+ support)Call: 1-866-488-7386 Text: Text START to 678678 https://www.thetrevorproject.org ​LGBT National Help Centerhttps://www.lgbthotline.org To keep the up with Ceji: ​X- @cejiflame​OF - @cejiflame To keep up with Bryson: ​X-Brysonthickxxx ​Instagram- @fortherecordwithbryson​Inquiries- fortherecordwithbryson@gmail.com Remember to be kind to yourselves XOXO :)
