New Updates: Rodney Dickson

So it's been quite some time since you saw any truly new interviews from me. Well, I'm back at work on another interview, this time an update with Rodney Dickson. Rodney wanted to talk with me about the changes he has faced in the recent times and how they have affected his paintings.

We are working on adding more to the film, so it'll be a few days before it gets online.

Thanks for your interest. If you want to help, we accept all methods of monetary donations at the link to the right. 

Filmed on a Canon 5DMK2 with a Zoom H4n for audio recording. Edited in Final Cut X. Made on a Mac. 

Cheers.

My Day with John and Rodney

On a lovely Saturday in August. During my recent NYC trip, I got to spend a part of the day with two of my favorite painters and film participants, John Zinsser and Rodney Dickson. We began the day with John coming to Rodney's to pick me up so we could go talk about a few projects I am working on. We invited John into Rodney's and ensued a wonderful conversation about painting and nyc gallery history. John, being the historian he is, never seems to be without his camera.

Once we left Rodney's, John and I went to his studio with Rodney in tow on one of his motorcycles. Yet another wonderful conversation about painting ensued there. Here's some pics covering that wonderful day. Pics at Rodney's by Zinsser, pics at Zinsser's studio by myself.

Here's a collection of screen captures that I've recently been working with. Lots of new footage all edited, synced and color graded. Ready to be put together for a masterpiece.

Enjoy.

Rodney Dickson on Expression

I will just stop writing here and let the video speak for itself. Rodney says it in a very personal way.



Thanks for watching, and supporting.

Rodney Dickson Talks About Influences.

Everytime I sat down to speak with Rodney, I was always immensely drawn into his stories. Here is one of those stories where he speaks about one of his major influences, and one that also became a friend.

I got so much footage from Rodney, and I really wanna put it all online, but that would kinda kill the need for a documentary film that I've been working on for over two years.



Thanks Rodney for letting me into your world. I look forward to future filming jaunts with yourself.

BTW, Here's another great video of Rodney while he was painting. Filmed by Emanuele Sferruzza Moszkowicz, when he visited the painter a number of years back. It's amazing to get to watch Rodney paint, as it's such a private experience.
