Pottery and ceramics is one of the most ancient crafts transcending form and function, we interact with it on a daily basis and yet we seldom consider it. It can be as simple as coffee cup we use every day or as complex as an artists statue. In a time when many ancient crafts have gone forgotten pottery is alive and well and no place is that more true than in Justin Reeves’ Potter Ray Studio on Commerce street in Jacksonville TX. Justin Was kind enough to sit down and give a demonstration while also discussing his personal journey into the craft, and opening his own business. So please join me as we go and meet Justin Rives!

Punk rock was born out of the Midwest in the late 1960s the disillusion of the Vietnam war mixed with an economic downturn left many feeling abandoned socially and politically. During this time Detroit bands such as Iggy Pop and the Stooges, MC5, and Death, would break through born out of blues rock but with more aggression and irreverence. Where many of the early punk bands incorporated a sardonic tilt to their music Death the only African American band of the proto-punk era would bring far more political and social aggression as well as more technical virtuosity as they were originaly a funk band. Death was the direct line from which Hardcore would be born harder faster, and more aggressive than other genre of punk with a keen focus on community and expressing your dissatisfaction with the status quo as loudly as possible. And that is were our men of the hour Militant Defiant come in, a Tyler based band first introduced to me by my brother I saw them live in the short lived Dead Street venue where I knew I was witnessing and participating in something special. So come with me as we go and meet Militant Defiant.

Sean Green is an artist but more than that he is a marketer and storyteller. The commercial side of art is often looked at as the dirty unspoken portion of the business, a true artist doesn’t think about the monetary value but does their work solely for the love of the craft. Sean Green makes no bones about it, he does his work to sell. Not to say he does not love what he does or he is unskilled nothing could be farther from the truth, but he is an artist of the people, this is his job. He sets out to paint his pieces to sell, his goal to exchange value for value and his persona matches that perfectly. A street artist with stories to tell I hope you enjoy meeting him just as much as I did, so lets go and meet Sean Green!
