  • Great conversations

    The YouTube algorithm served me the Sagmesiter interview and I then I found the podcast. Now on a mission to burn through the rest of the interview catalog. Really digging the selection of people you’ve interviewed as well as the conversation that ensues. Thanks for putting this out there.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Twos Talks with Jim Fitzpatrick
Q: How did the Che Guevara poster come to life, and what was the moment that connected you to Che in Ireland?
Fitzpatrick describes meeting Che Guevara in a bar in Ireland, recognizing him, and the conversation that followed, which seeded the iconic poster and established the deeper personal and political resonance of the image for years to come.
Twos Talks with Shantell Martin
Q: Can you walk us through the New York City Ballet project and how you approached creating work across surfaces and spaces?
I started with deep immersion—interviewing dancers, visiting departments, and understanding the space—then developed large-scale choreographic drawings informed by rehearsals; the project grew from floor pieces to window projections and onstage moments, all tied together with words drawn from the interviews to create a cohesive experience.
Twos Talks with Shantell Martin
Q: How did the move to Japan influence your art, and what did you learn about yourself during that period?
Moving to Japan gave me a blank canvas, a fresh start, and a way to disconnect from prior roles; the experience taught me to trust my instincts, adapt to new environments, and build a practice that could translate across venues, audiences, and cultures.
Twos Talks with Shantell Martin
Q: What drew you to drawing as a primary mode of expression, and how has your left-to-right evolution shaped your identity as an artist?
It started with cartoons and a fascination for worlds you can visit through drawing; over time, stream-of-consciousness practice in clubs and live settings revealed a core fingerprint and identity that defined my work, allowing me to see how my style evolved from intuitively guided actions into a recognizable signature.
Twos Talks with Gail Anderson
Q: Do you see a lack of design icons in the market these days?
It's easier to make oneself a design icon now through social media, but the significance may differ from the past.
