Episode 38 – Marika Christine // Musician. "In the world of early birds and night owls, very few have mastered the ability to live simultaneously as both, but the one and only Marika Christine is one of these rare and special humans. By morning, she’s selling donuts and coffee, and by evening she’s playing rock shows. In my eyes, Marika might be the eighth wonder of the world because of that!...

Episode 37 – Mayya // Musician. Alright if there’s one thing about me that y’all know by now is that I fuck with San Francisco hard. This place fucking rips and our creative scene does too. And you know who backs me on that same energy? My homie Mayya.   I can’t exactly recall when I met Mayya, but that’s kind of the beauty of it. I would see her around at house parties years ago and she’s been so...

Episode 36 – Donta Santistevan // Illustrator. Designer. "The homie Donta has fulfilled the dream. He grew up in California, obsessed over the worlds of skateboarding and art, eventually went to art school, and after years of hard work has found himself at the intersection of art and skate heaven, working as an in-house Illustrator and Designer for The Mag aka The Bible aka Thrasher Magazine...

Episode 35 – Fez Moreno // Poster Designer. Illustrator. “Fez Moreno is a concert poster god. He’ll probably cringe when he hears me say that, but it’s the truth. He’s picked up the metaphorical-baton from the old school 60s psychedelic masters like Rick Griffin and Stanley Mouse and brought it into the present, blending that lineage with his own unmistakable flavor. It’s no secret, that my dude F...

Episode 34 – Krusty Wheatfield // Cartoonist. Artist. “Alright, first things first, let’s get it on record: I’m a fan of Krusty. Their art style is so raw and whimsical - there’s a whirlwind of relatability and humanity all within their little old line. Usually, their work is either absolutely full of color, where it just sort of explodes off the page, or it’s often just a single color, like black...

Episode 33 – LaTajh Simmons-Weaver // Film Director & Writer “Sometimes I get suggestions for who should come on the BEDROOM™ Podcast, and LaTajh was someone multiple film homies kept requesting. We started following each other on the gram, and at one point I slid through with my classic inquiry. LaTajh was down, and I didn’t know what to expect, though their Instagram bio says “better offline...

Episode 32 – Madeleine Voge // Artist. Fantasy Writer. Creative Director. “A few months back, I was partaking in the classic, all-too-human ritual of doomscrolling when I stumbled upon a gem in the rough - a stylish, articulate, left-of-center online “it” girl talking about KidPix, the history of the Muni logo, retrofuturism, and gothic design. Her name was Madeleine. She was a creator and she liv...

Episode 31 – Emilio Villalba // Painter. Professor. “You know when you meet someone new and you just sorta hit it off and that person becomes your new favorite homie? Well that’s exactly how I felt after spending the afternoon talking to Emilio in my art studio. The dude is an absolute sweetheart of a human. He’s kind, eloquent, well spoken, stylish to boot, and his perspective on painting is laye...

Episode 30 – James Wavey // Musician “His government name is Michael Bridgmon, but to all of us in the Bay Area music scene, we know him as the one and only James Wavey – and what a fitting name for dude. He’s about as fly as they come, and Wavey is only the tip of the descriptive iceberg that defines the aura he exudes. James is calm, cool, and collected, with a grounding presence. His musical ca...

Episode 29 – Harry Nordlinger // Cartoonist. “One of the unexpected side effects of creating the BEDROOM™ Podcast is that I feel more tuned in than ever to the creative talent pool of the Bay Area - and it’s thriving. Sure, it may be more expensive than ever to live here (a topic for another day), but that very pressure of surviving and thriving as an artist creates star-studded, diamond-like tale...

Episode 28 – Ashley Graham // Art Director at The Fillmore “In San Francisco, first there was a guy named Bill Graham – ever heard of him? Famed concert promoter, legend of the city, basically responsible for so much of San Francisco’s iconic musical past. But fast-forward a few decades, and you know who holds one of the keys to the city’s scene now? Another Graham, the new homie, Ashley Graham, A...

Episode 27 - The Breathing Room // San Francisco-based Band “Sometimes I think about how lucky I am to be living in San Francisco and how with that fortune comes the added bonus of my creative friend group. For a city that’s supposedly got a “dying” art and music scene ( as defined by people who don’t actually live here ), I’m completely surrounded by a plethora of artists, all of which are just s...

Episode 26 - Cheyne Ellett // Artist. “ Cheyne Ellett, Ellett Cheyne – backwards or forwards, no matter how you say it, the man exudes talent and brings a straight up unique and original vision to his art. Cheyne has been holding it down in Pomona for years and is one of a handful of my Southern California visual artist homies. He’s got a great vibe and so does the art he makes. It’s colorful, ene...

Episode 25 - Anthony Ferraro // Musician. “His name is Anthony Ferraro – but a lot of people in the Bay call him Tony Peppers. He’s got a very successful musical act, band, moniker – whatever you want to call it – that goes by the name Astronauts Etc. But maybe you’re into the DJ or rave scene and you know him as Tony MF. Me? I’m just gonna call him the new homie. You see, Anthony – aka Tony, aka...

Episode 24 - Emma Munger // Illustrator. Cartoonist. “Emma Munger is one hell of a talented artist, and if you aren’t already following her on Instagram, you definitely should be - she’s one of my favorite follows. Go check out her work now. I’ll wait. No, really, go now... Okay, so I don’t always start these little diary entries on BEDROOM™ by shamelessly plugging people’s work, but I find it nec...

Episode 23 - Zelma Stone // Musician. “Zelma Stone is a remarkably talented person with an angelic voice and a very calming presence. I’m excited about this episode of BEDROOM™ because it’s sort of a first of its kind in a way - let me explain… You see, I put out a call to my community, asking who they’d like to see me talk to on this podcast, and a good friend of mine with immaculate taste sugges...

Episode 22 - Joel Cherry Tree // Artist. “Joel Cherry Tree - what a name, right? I was first introduced to Joel by our mutual friend Karina on a music video set I was directing last year. Joel came out to support the video, and I think that’s a huge part of what he’s all about. He supports musicians he loves by being a band and tour manager, he supports brands like Honey TV with his unique illustr...

Episode 21 - Jeremy McNamara // Director. DP. “The filmmaking scene in the Bay Area is small, but that’s sort of the beauty of it—everyone is kind of like family. But within that community, there’s an even smaller scene of us who grew up skateboarding. The few of us in the Bay film scene who were obsessively serious about skateboarding all found our love of filmmaking through the avenue of making...

Episode 20 - Salami Rose Joe Louis // Musician. Producer. “Join me as we take another trip down south for the second episode in a row, from the Bay to LA, to chop it up with my new homie, Lindsay Olsen, aka Salami Rose Joe Louis. She’s a genre-traveling multi-instrumentalist, musician, and producer. She’s dropped a whole magical crate full of amazing music, insanely colorful remixes, and has someh...

Episode 19 - Jesse Nyberg // Graphic Designer. Content Creator. “Join me as we take a trip down south, from the Bay to LA, to chop it up with my new homie, Jesse Nyberg.

His design work focuses heavily on typography, texture, and layout, blending the sensibilities of two completely contrasting worlds: traditional Swiss de...

Episode 18 - Tanukichan // Musician. Woodworker. “It’s Tanukichan season, y’all! For those who don’t know, Tanukichan is the solo project of classically trained Bay Area native Hannah van Loon. This is an episode I’m really hyped about because, well, to put it simply, I’m a huge fan of Hannah’s music. Her 2023 LP “Gizmo” and her latest drop, the 2024 EP “Circles” , are on heavy rotation for me. Th...

Episode 17 - Andrew Fairclough // Illustrator. Designer. Founder. "Andrew Fairclough is my Australian homie, and as the Aussies so perfectly put it, the dude’s a LEGEND, mate.

His work draws inspiration from mid-century spot illustrations, vintage sci-fi, comics,...

Episode 16 - Mike Jacobs // Director. Documentary Filmmaker. "Mike Jacobs is one hell of a dude and one hell of a storyteller. In my opinion, he’s a titan of filmmaking here in the Bay Area. I know he wouldn’t agree with me on that statement, but that’s just because the guy is about as humble as they come - and that’s what makes him so alluring. He’s modest and unassuming in his demeanor, but...

Episode 15 - Cole Hyland // Writer. Graphic Designer. -- “Cole Hyland, wow, I love this person. She’s a stunner of a human, inside and out, and I honestly probably love her more than she even knows, to be quite honest. I feel magnetically inspired by her, and I always look forward to spending time with her. I feel like we’re on some fine wine type shit—like, as we both age, our conversations just...

  Episode 14 - Jay Alvarez // Director. Writer. -- “Jay Alvarez is someone I spent every day with in high school. We had the same advisory class, which most of you probably know better as homeroom. Over those four years, I really grew to love this dude. On the surface, Jay and I might have seemed like we belonged to different crowds in high school - him, more of the rebellious scholarly type; me,...
