Just a heads up, this is the second last episode before I take a month long break over October and start recording again. Please rate the podcast five stars 🌟 I make the podcast with zero financial support and help. It would mean a lot to me!
Keziah is a Naarm-based painter with her own distinct style and narrative. She is also a drag artist with the stage name, Bae b Tooth. Her story is vibrant, brilliant and demonstrates her growth as a person. She has been apart of several different creative avenues; tattooing, animation and painting, where she found her voice!
We talk about her journey into art, her upbringing, sex-positive art, feminism, the male gaze vs female gaze, body image and self-care as we enter our thirties and more.
Keziah grew up in a religious household drawing Disney cartoons and trying to explore live drawing with her siblings. As a teenager, she studied art in high school but didn't have the best experience, which I don't find surprising considering I also had a pretty rough time with tertiary art. As a young adult, she moved to Brisbane and enrolled into TAFE doing an Advanced Diploma in Animation where she ended up finding her people. It was vast contrast of her previous experience - but allowed her to further her exploration of artistry. She moved into tattooing but didn't have the best experience during her apprenticeship. From COVID lockdowns, Kezamine started working on her paintings. From that she is harnessing her skills more.
Kezamine is now living in Naarm, breathing fresh creative energy into her art. She focuses on vibrant and colourful portraiture and expressive poses using the human body through the female gaze. She emphasises the unconventional beauty we all have within us and champions those aspects we may shun.
About Keziah:
Keziah Gall (Kezamine) is a mixed media artist based in Naarm, Australia (Melbourne). Her practice provokes discussions of gender, sexuality and intimacy, by distorting the perception of the body.
Through the use of a vibrant colour palette and sexually graphic imagery, she welcomes you into her personal world in a way that is inviting, tantalising and stylistically unique to her work. Combining techniques from her studies in animation, comic design and street art, Kezamine’s work is illustrative, bold and unapologetic.

Drapl is one of Brisbane's most well known street artists. His past roots with spray paint started with graffiti, something that we discuss within this episode. His decision to move away from graffiti and into street art was what opened up creative opportunities for him, and thus lead him to becoming one of Australia's best street artists.
Throughout the whole conversation, Drapl is honest about his feelings and attitudes towards art. His determination to continue his practice when faced with large-scaled works is what makes him such a fantastic painter. Undeniably, this determination has contributed to the melting pot of which Brisbane is becoming. He is an invaluable part of Brisbane culture and throughout the wider Australian communities he visits, both rural, regional and otherwise.
Without artists such as Drapl, we would not be able to advance culturally through the arts. Drapl has demonstrated, not only through his artwork but also through his words, that his abilities are transforming the spaces we live in. These transformations are positively impacting all of us who are able to see them in person and online. I look forward to seeing how his creations inspire future artists and allow growth for Australian communities culturally.
I hope you enjoy the episode, and I am very thankful to Drapl for coming on to discuss his art and journey with us.

In this episode, I chat with KYEL 925 who is a photographer and the founder of No.1 Network. He embraces the underground, the unknown, and the unconventional. This ability combined with his lived experience is what makes him and NO.ONE NETWORK such a success.
I really enjoyed having Kyel around for a tea and a chat about his journey. He has some crazy things coming up and I really look forward to seeing No.1 expand and develop in the future!
About KYEL 925:
KYEL 925’s is a photographer who's work focuses on the art of documentation and journalism, often delivering a unique perspective and love for underground communities. His photography has a life-style approach, often taken through a 35mm film camera he can fit in his pocket, bum bag or hang around his neck.
Through this process, Golly has travelled and actively found artists, youth culture and unique characters that are often under-exposed or misunderstood. His documentation has covered a large network of subjects from general street culture on his travels (overseas and East Australia), too teenage exploration and curiosity for the unknown.
His 35mm Photography Zine releases currently include: ‘Golly Elyk’ (2012) ‘Japan’ (2014) & ‘Them.Dam.Vandals’ (2015) ‘Melbourne’ (2015).

Established in 2018, NO.ONE NETWORK was formed through a network of creatives being documented from inner-city Brisbane. From street artists and graffiti, to rappers and fashion designers, to beat makers and DJ’s, to guerrilla photographers and everything in-between. Through our work and community, No.1 Network aims to form an ultimate urban nexus of artists amongst Brisbane’s ‘youth culture’ & provide support for the local community.

In this episode, I chat with Matt who is the artist behind Granny Prints. He is a social worker and visual artist from Sydney. We connected online as I started exploring lino printmaking. Printmaking is a practice that requires patience, trust and the methodology of trial and error.
Matt is a passionate artist who has dedicated his time to helping others not only through his art, but through his social work. He openly discusses his journey with mental health as a cis-man, something which needs to be more of an open conversation and I appreciate Matt's vulnerability when discussing this.
I look forward to seeing Matt's development as an artist within the next coming years. His ability to generate beautiful art discussing topics which speak true to the current zeitgeist is something I think he should be really proud of.
I hope you enjoy the podcast and I would like to thank Matt for coming on.
About Granny Prints:
Matt is an emerging artist, primarily focused on printmaking, who is living and creating on the lands of the Gadigal & Wangal people (Sydney, Australia). He is a social worker, amateur weightlifter, and enthusiastic cook. He lives with a neurodiverse brain, chronic illness, and like most folks: experiences challenges with his mental health. Matt uses his creative pursuits to help manage the ups and downs of being a human living through late-stage capitalism.

Macami is a Brazilian photographer currently based in Sydney, Australia where she is undertaking her Masters degree. She is experimenting with the duality of movement and light with her artworks. They are based around surrealism with a gorgeous essence of dream like notions.
Our discussion was based around how she became a photographer. She is very educated and I appreciate her ability to be able to undertake so much study and still stay on her desired path. I was incredibly excited to talk with her because her works require so much foresight and planning. It was definitely great to hear from someone who expresses themselves through the lense because she absolutely has mastered her abilities with a camera.
This conversation is perfect for those who want to embark on a photography journey, or if they are curious how the arts in Australia is for someone like Macami. Thank you Macami for coming on the podcast I really appreciate your words and the craft you're mastering!

Aki Yaguchi is an artist based in Naarm (Melbourne), Australia. She creates these gorgeous murals and artworks with a figure as the main focus. I have been wanting to have her on my podcast for quite some time now! I think the work she makes is gorgeous and I have been really curious about who that figure is and what inspired it.
We discuss her journey into art and her works, how she has found running an art business, what her self-care routine is like, and what the future holds for her. It was a really lovely conversation, and I feel like even though Aki is going through a period of change - her new works after this period will be amazing and have that level of soul she's looking for.
ABOUT AKI:
Aki Yaguchi is a Japanese/Australian artist and illustrator based in Melbourne, Australia. Her art explores the interplay between her heritage and femininity, and is often centred around “Tobu Hime”, or ‘floating girls’; they are the visual representation of Aki’s imagination, a vehicle for her creativity, a mascot for her identity, and a friendly companion. The Tobu-Hime are a sign of good fortune and safety to all those who come across them. Her work spans across multiple mediums, including paintings, drawings, large scale murals, digital works, sculptures, installations, and apparel.

With over 20 years experience, self-taught artist Cax One has taken lessons learned from his own graffiti and street art practice and applied these skills, styles, and techniques for applications in galleries, festivals, workshops, and events across the country. His style is an accumulation of references from character design, illustration, graffiti type, and cartoons, with bright, bold colours, sharp, gestural lines, and explosive movement.Cax has many accolades and well known clients under his belt, including a record opening attendance at Ballarat’s Red Brick Gallery, painting live murals at Falls Festival, reinterpreting a character for Sesame Street, and producing work as part of a national campaign for Telstra.

Despite boasting a full portfolio of diverse and large-scale events and work, Cax continues to dedicate significant time to mentoring young artists and at-risk youth in both Ballarat and Melbourne.

In this episode, I speak with Brisbane based artist Emmauel Moore. A key focus in this discussion is how moving away from your roots, taking on feedback and critiques can help you within an arts practice and ultimately help you flourish into a better artist.
Emmanuel's deep love for art is evident through his journey from graffiti to fine art. Although Emmanuel didn't finish high school, he applied himself through his tertiary education, finishing his BFA at University of Canberra. His knowledge with art history is incredible, and we had a great conversation about Dali and his influences. There is so much to this conversation, that I can't describe in the introduction. Have a listen and let me know what you think!
I look forward to seeing the art the Emmanuel creates for his solo exhibition - details pending, make sure to follow his Instagram to stay in the loop.
Learn about Giorgio Morandi, the still life artist Emmanuel talked about.
About Emmanuel Moore:
Emmanuel Moore is an Australian painter based in Brisbane. He is best known for is public and canvas works depicting inanimate objects and nature such as trains and flowers, though now focuses on still life and observational painting. He predominantly uses acrylic and spray paint and explores a variety of illustration and traditional techniques to produce his work. Since finishing a bachelor degree in visual art at the University of Canberra (2019), he has exhibited paintings at the Caloundra Regional Gallery, as well been apart of a variety of group exhibitions throughout Australia.

I am calling this art chat because we spoke about a huge range of subjects; her journey, studio, businesses, fashion and art practice, and more! There is no one way to describe her, she is an incredible artist and human being.
This is also PART 1 because we both decided we are going to do a follow up art chat at a later date. We could literally talk for hours!
I hope you enjoy!
About Phoebe Paradise:
A self-taught artist, Phoebe’s commercial illustration practice began in the early 2010s, producing hand-drawn, collaged and xeroxed gig flyers, merchandise designs and record covers for punk bands, indie labels and local venues. Throughout the course of her career, this music community has been a bedrock of support and inspiration for Paradise, who is also well known for her involvement in local underground acts. (Lexicon & Pleasure Symbols most notably).In 2014, Phoebe began developing arts merchandise of her own to sell at craft markets, boutiques and the then-burgeoning online marketplace. Inspired by the DIY methodology of her local punk band clientele, the label PARADISE was borne. From humble beginnings of photocopied zines, hand drawn t-shirts and custom-painted vintage leather, the label quickly grew to popular cult status across Australia. In a few short years, the label went on to produce multiple collections of fashion garments and accessories, high profile photoshoots, runways, artist collaborations & pop-up shops.
In early 2020, her focus diverted from retail output by the COVID-19 outbreak, Paradise was unexpectedly commissioned a series of highly visible public art installations which catapulted her work into the wider public eye. The Brisbane City Council’s Outdoor Gallery Program commissioned Paradise to produce several light-box illustrations (installed in Brisbane’s CBD), and an animated projection, entitled Subtropical Surreal, which would go on to become her first Public Art Collection acquisition.
Soon after the success and visibility of these public outcomes, Phoebe was swept up in a whirlwind, year-long national campaign for ‘Behind the Mac’ by Apple. The multi-faceted campaign centered Paradise’s visual arts journey (rather than her fashion designs), and included original illustrations and the recently acquired Subtropical Surreal. This campaign was the start of a change in direction for Paradise’s career, who began a marked pivot away from the label, and instead toward public art & exhibited works.

Michael Delany is a powerhouse of a creative and individual. He is an artist, interior designer, and nightclub owner in Sydney and Melbourne. I have adored Delany's artworks for a few years now, he has this ability to make you pause and check yourself physically and mentally - something I find to be very provocative. His use of block colours draws you into his artworks and encourages you to look further. To see his art, click on his IG link below!
In this episode, we reflect on his journey of art, interior design, and owning nightclubs. We talk about his art and how his journey into art, his techniques, how to deliver an excellent title, and how where he gets his inspiration from. We delve into a bit of the business side of things and we talk about running a nightclub in the early 2000s. This episode was absolutely awesome to record - Delany is a hugely talented artist.
ARTICLE - Remembering Honkytonks: The Club that Defined Melbourne’s Hedonistic Party SceneI hope you enjoy it!
About Michael Delany:
Michael Delany is an aged emerging artist who would describe his paintings as being figurative, existential, romantic and dadaist.Although he will paint the human face, these paintings are not really portraits. Human forms are used as sympathetic tools to form a puzzle created in sync with the paintings’ titles. These are visual poems that speak about optimistic mediocrity, public secrecy, mistaken empathy, euphoric hubris and the exhiliration of doom.
His previous solo shows include :
“A WISH IS JUST A DREAM COME TRUE” The Kelvin Club Melbourne 2022,
“HELLO ALWAYS ENDS IN GOODBYE” Abstract Thoughts Sydney 2022,
“DELUSIONS” Motorik Atelier Sydney 2020,
“DISAPPOINTMENT” Babekuhl Sydney 2019,
“MEAN-SPIRITED SYMPATHY” Babekuhl Sydney 2018.
Michael has spent much of his life operating nightclubs, notably honkytonks in Melbourne and currently moonlights as an interior designer of hospitality venues: Piccolo Bar, The Abercrombie and Ricos Tacos are amongst recent projects.

PSA: This episode has lots of swear words (spoken by me, not Sean). Please keep little ears at bay!
About Sean Baxter:
Sean "Miami" Baxter is a Traditional tattoo artist from Brisbane, Australia. He currently practices from Southtown Tattoo in Brisbane and Lefty's Tattoo on the Gold Coast. With six years of experience tattooing, his passion for the craft developed from exploring the Traditional style and the application of early European inspirations from the early to middle twentieth century.
Sean was mentored by Adam Smith at Whiskey Lane Tattoo on the Gold Coast. Sean's influences in tattooing include twentieth century artists artist such as George Burchett, Cecil Rhodes, Sutherland MacDonald, Amund Dietzel, and Ben Corday. He is also heavily influenced by artwork from this time period, such as postcard illustrations and vintage prop photography.Sean enjoys tattooing both in colour and black and grey. However, the current request and demand from clients is highly focused on tattoos in black and grey tones hence why he tattoos it more often. He is open to the request of colour, as he wishes to explore this more with his clients.
Over the last year, Sean has been enjoying exploring Western artwork references as per client requests. Previously to this, Sean never focused heavily on a particular subject or reference but has enjoyed exploring this subject matter. He is open to all reference points of Traditional tattoos.While tattooing does take a majority of his time and energy, he does enjoy his time at home with his two dogs, cat, and partner. Being creative is important to him, he loves creating new dishes in the kitchen and researching the art history when he can!
This year, Sean is looking to branch out and do more conventions and guest spots at other shops around Australia, make sure to follow him on Instagram to keep up to date to where he is and book in with a deposit if you're wanting a piece from him.

In this episode, I talk with powerhouse artist, art and indigenous advocate, and now politician Bec Mac.

**DONATE HERE FOR BEC**
About Bec Mac:
The core of my life’s work is connecting community through conversation and meaningful experiences. I am an artist and a creative entrepreneur and have founded three businesses LOVE TV, POPSART arts media and Chrysalis Project creative Place Makers which are all ultimately focused on making cities great by connecting people! I believe in the power of art and creativity to do this by uniting communities, revitalising their public spaces, and helping us understand better who we are as people.Presently I am putting all this experience and passion into my campaign to run as the local candidate in the upcoming council election.
My legendry live art event LOVE TV has been presented Internationally in partnerships with multiple City Councils including the City Of New York and last year at The Cairns Festival and was a ground breaker in creative placemaking.
As founder of POPSART Digital Placemaker, I revolutionised the way audiences engage with the arts through spontaneous, insightful interviews with artist at their exhibition’s openings and launches. POPSART collaborators have included QAGOMA, UQ Art Museum, Museum Of Brisbane, Opera QLD, and Inner-West Council Sydney, Richard Bell for Embassy 2019 Venice Biennale and Cairns Indigenous Art Fair. I have recorded over 600 interviews with creatives over the last six years forming a deep social and cultural documentation of the creative sector both locally and Nationally.
My passionate advocacy for a just and equal society saw my active involvement in the Senate Inquiry into Fake Aboriginal Art. In 2019 I collaborated with Aboriginal artist Richard Bell on his Venice Biennale project and my business Chrysalis Projects worked in partnership with local not for profit organisation Micah Projects in the Arts Against Gender-Based Violence initiative and I initiated projects centered around disability and caring, including documenting stories of lived experiences for people for the Brisbane Zero Campaign against Homelessness in 2022.
My work is unique and sits at the intersection between the creative community, on-line media, activism, the urban environment, cultural organisations, government, community engagement and the philosophy and outcomes of Placemaking.

About The Episode:
In this captivating episode, we embark on an artistic voyage with the talented Zaide. Join host Madelaine Buttini as they delve deep into the world of painting, uncovering the artist's unique journey and the evolution of their distinctive style. Discover the wellspring of inspiration that fuels their creative fire and gain valuable insights into their creative process, from that initial spark of an idea to the completion of a masterpiece. You'll also explore the fascinating habits and rituals that keep their artistic spirit alive. So, whether you're an art enthusiast or simply curious about the creative process, this episode promises a vibrant canvas of conversation and inspiration with Zaide.
About Zaide:
Large swathes of oil paint and gestural application with a palette knife characterise Zaide’s visceral style of painting. The work appears as an abstract array of clearly discernible paint strokes, indicative of a process in which volumes of paint has been expelled onto the canvas. As the viewer moves about each piece, the thickly worked strokes change and weave together in a variety of ways to imbue the subject with life. These swirling compositions invite the viewer to dive into the solitary state in which the paintings were completed.Zaide’s family history with Huntington’s Disease and his experience as a disability support worker informs themes of identity, imperfection and decay. The undulating peaks and troughs of oil paint on canvas show the tumultuous application by a hand inhibited by chorea. The expressive nature of Zaide’s work thus reflects on rejection of pre-established narratives in the artists’ life.
Zaide lives in West End, Queensland with fellow artist and business partner Aleja Hine. The two run community exhibitions together under the brand A2Z with the objective of providing a platform for local artists to share their work.
