Episode 1 - Owen Tuttle // "Owen was my high school art teacher, but more than that he was my Master Yoda. When I was a wild and crazy senior in high school, Owen helped tame the beast that I was by assigning me a specialized curriculum. He, for some reason, saw a budding passion in me that I didn't even know existed yet. In his classroom, Owen ( Mr. Tuttle, at the time ) let me experiment on my own terms, independently from the rest, and throughout my senior year I began to discover this newly developed and passionate budding love for the art of making things and expressing oneself creatively. Fast-forward 18 years since then, I've been professionally working as the visual artist I always dreamed of becoming. Looking back, Owen had a lot to do with my initial jump and I'll always respect him for his encouragement and his non-authoritarian approach to his teachings. A lot of these episodes I'm recording are to share with you, the listener, but if I'm being honest... this one I recorded just for me. Sit back and listen to this legend talk about his run-ins with James Taylor and Jackie O, growing up in and around The University of Iowa, spending summers in Cape Cod, going to the San Francisco Art Institute and being taught by the famed painter Joan Brown, shepherding around California and Oregon, becoming an art teacher, and overall just how he's lived a varied, beautiful, and colorful life. I'm very stoked that Owen decided to come on to the pod for the inaugural episode, as it feels only right for him to be here at the beginning of a new creative path I am undertaking with this podcast joynt. Getting the chance to reunite with him and record some of his life's history was incredible and I feel absolutely honored. Big shout outs, always and forever, to Mr. Owen Tuttle. Welcome to the BEDROOM y'all." - PSG
