John Bell: Artist & Designer - Epi. 260, Host Dr. Mark Sublette

I do this podcast because the people I meet in my line of work are really interesting. That's a lot of it. John Bell is exactly the kind of podcast I love doing because he's not somebody you can just throw into a typical mold and say, oh he's an artist or he's an art dealer. You know?

John is an Academy Award-nominated individual who's worked on movies like Back to the Future Two, Men in Black, and Jurassic Park. All are culturally significant, yet they'd be incomplete without the influence of John Bell.

That's not all he's done, however. John also worked for Atari, General Motors, Nike, and Electronic Arts. You know, just a few small companies.

So it's the story of perseverance to some extent, and how you can start off as one thing (in his case a car designer) and end up in a completely different area. that being said, they have this unique kind of symmetry and rhythm that becomes clear on his journey and in his artwork.

This is a great podcast documenting the very interesting journey of artist and designer John Bell.
