Jon Flaming: Western Artist (Part 2) - Epi. 315, Host Dr. Mark Sublette

I had Jon Flaming on today. I'm a big fan of his work, I love it.
I think he's so unusual and has a very personal, unique take on
Western art. 

It comes from a place that is deeply ingrained in him because he
is a true Westerner. His family owned ranch in Kansas. His
grandfather's father was from that area, but Jon's been in Texas
since he was five years old. Clearly, he's a Texan through and
through. 

His art is a modern synthesis of what the West can be through the
eyes of somebody who sees things differently. He had a design
firm of his own, which helped him understand the concepts that he
wanted to bring to fine art, which he's done
beautifully. 

One of the things I loved about this podcast, which is a two
parter, is that he doesn't pull any punches of what it takes to
do it and how you can succeed if you are committed. He speaks on
the types of elements that you have to have to succeed and the
kinds of people that he would like to work with.

Jon is one of these rare individuals who can not only make his
work, but also sell and market it himself and he does it very
well. So I had a great time talking to Jon. I think he's a
terrific individual and his art just as outstanding and fun. So
this is Jon Flaming on the Art Dealer Diaries Podcast, part two.
