The Undraped Artist Podcast
Artist Jeff Hein interviews some of the world’s most accomplished and gifted artists about their work, process, philosophy and experience. Tune in every Monday for a new episode.
Help Me Keep the Podcast Alive and Even Make it Better!
I pay the bills with painting sales and through mentoring my Hein Atelier students. This means that I can't do this podcast forever unless I can hand the work load over to someone else. Reaching my total pledge goal will make it possible for me to hire an editor/manager. This will not only allow me to reclaim my much needed painting and teaching time but it will also help me to improve the podcast's overall production value. With an editor/manager, I can add more features, such as image and text overlays referencing artists, or paintings, that my guests mention. I can also add links in the show notes to important topics discussed. For those who don't have time to watch entire episodes, I'll be able to post shorts and reels of conversation highlights to our youtube and social media channels. Perhaps best of all, your donations will also allow me to consider your suggestions on how to improve the podcast. Every dollar donated brings us one step closer to ensuring that this enriching source or knowledge, information, inspiration and entertainment will be here week after week and year after year.
As a thank you gift, I am offering an "Undraped Artist" branded painters apron to each patron who's reaches $100 in total donations. Just send an email to me at - TheUndrapedArtist@gmail.com to claim your gift.
Where Professional Artists Bare All
What I would have done to have had the chance to pick the brain of just one of the world's greatest painters when I was learning to paint and trying to navigate the mysterious and intimidating world of art. Well, it's never too late. On this podcast brains are everywhere and you can hear (and watch) me pick them all. Don't miss an episode of inspirational, informative and and entertaining conversation with me, Jeff Hein, and the world's best.

His freelance illustration career began with paperback book covers, where he developed his characteristic realistic renderings of fantastic scenes, often using posed models and handmade maquettes for reference. His has worked on more than a dozen assignments for National Geographic magazine, painting reconstructions of Moche, Kushite, and Etruscan civilizations.
The inspiration that came from researching these scenes of ancient life led to a series of lost world paintings, including ”Dinosaur Parade” and ”Waterfall City.” With the encouragement of retired publishers Ian and Betty Ballantine, he committed two years’ time to writing and illustrating Dinotopia: A Land Apart from Time, which was published in 1992.Solo exhibitions of his artwork have been presented at The Smithsonian Institution, The Norman Rockwell Museum, The Norton Museum of Art, The Delaware Art Museum, and other venues. He is a popular lecturer at art schools, movie studios and game companies, and he teaches occasional workshops.

Lucas Bononi (b. 1991 | Los Angeles) Is a contemporary painter living and working in New York, NY.
Lucas reflects the sensation of nature through the lens of the modern world in his paintings with nuance
and subtle visual splashes of color and light that tell the story of living in a city while expressing natures
unrepeatable beauty. It is in this way that he invites us to question the relationship between beauty and
chaos, as well as, figuration and abstraction. His participation in leading museums, galleries and press
stretches worldwide.

“I’ve have had a wonderful career with many prestigious galleries over the past 25 plus years. In 2021 I made the final decision to leave all gallery representation behind.
As the art world continues to change I have decided that I will be representing myself exclusively for the foreseeable future. But who knows, maybe someday I might consider reentering the gallery world.” -BRYCE LISTON
