  • Ep. 42 - Growth and collaboration, accepting confrontation and lasting friendships w/ Thick Press (Julie Cho and Erin Segal)
    Note: The first part of this episode has some clicks because of a connection issue. We tried to clean the sound up as best as we could. Bare with it because we really think it’s worth listening to! This one’s a long one, but one of our most amazing conversations. Drew and I spoke with Julie Cho and Erin Segal about their collaborative publishing project Thick Press. The two friends who met when they were 15 have been working together as graphic designer and social worker, asking hard questions about the value of work, juggling life and professions and sticking with relationships. We recorded this episode on November 8, 2024, two days after the US Presidential election. Despite the disappointment of the time, Julie and Erin showed up for our conversation in a way that can only be described as generous and present. Drew and I always joke that the podcast is “our therapy” and this episode couldn’t be more validating of our motivations. We got to share about how we’ve struggled to keep Graphic Support Group going, the evolution of our friendship and admit to each other that we’re still here and making the project happen. Julie and Erin took such care to hear us and opened up their stories for us to learn and reflect together. We are so appreciative of their time and words.Thick Press officially published “An Encyclopedia of Radical Healing” shortly after we recorded. They share the details about the massive project in the episode, so please check out their Instagram for more information and support their work with an order. They’ve also been super busy since we spoke! Here is a listing of some of their upcoming activities and recent publications:* Thick Press will be at the LA Printed Matter Art Book Fair at the Art Center College of Design in Pasadena on May 15-18.* They have published Change the World: A Research Book for Children and Adults by Sibylle Peters, is based on 20 years of performance-based research at the Fundus Theatre in Hamburg.* The second, may we dream and design felt futures: where our creative being and practice can feel the sensations of care, intimacy, and liberation, by Denise Shanté Brown, is both a memoir and a guide to creative social practices.* The third, It’s Too Late. Do It Anyway! A Book about Being a Cultural Worker in the Apocalypse + a Hologram Starter Kit edited by Cassie Thornton and Magdalena Jadwiga Härtelova, is about a mutual aid protocol called The Hologram.Growth and collaboration!

  • Ep. 41 - Tattoo memories, drawing heritage and being Chindo w/ Gentle Oriental
    Warning: this episode contains some foul language. If you are sensitive to this or are listening around young children please use your own discretion before you tune in.James here :) I was able to sit down with Gabrielle Widjaja, who works under the name Gentle Oriental, and asked her about how she navigates the highs and lows of her creative practice. Gabby began her career as a graphic designer and over the years went through many hurdles to be able to tattoo full-time today. She shared her journey with me, and the two of us compared our different, but connected Asian American lineages.Gabby would like to shout out a Gentle Pokes, Studio Bumi and Ricky Wang! Check ‘em out! —We’re really excited to be sharing this episode with the GSG family. Thank you always for the support.

  • Special Mini Episode! Promises broken, promises kept. We R Here 4 U.
    Hi everyone, I'm James.And I'm Drew.Welcome to Graphic Support Group.It's kind of crazy to think that this podcast has been going on for over three years. When Drew brought his idea of Graphic Support Group as a creative collective, we both thought a podcast would be a fun first project to work on. But neither of us had any idea we'd create something that would resonate with so many other people and have such staying power.We really appreciate all the support and interest in the podcast over the years. And as we say in our Instagram profile, we are here for you. That means we'd love to hear from you for anything at all. Responses, questions, recommendations, suggestions, anything. Reminder, the hotline is always open.We have a new number since Google Voice decided to expire our old one. The new number is +1-929-277-1941.And you can always reach out to us via email, which is help@graphicsupportgroup.com. Don't hesitate to reach out for any reason.You can also DM us on Instagram. And last but not least, you can also send us a message through Substack where you can subscribe and get all our updates. We're at graphicsupportgroup.substack.com.We really look forward to hearing from you, and we really mean that, so please don't hesitate to reach out.We have a lot of new ideas in store for year four. And we plan to engage more with our audience and community to get a better idea of what this podcast means to everyone and help us determine what else Graphic Support Group could become.Thanks again to all our guests over the years and a big thanks to all of our listeners. We really appreciate the support from you all, the calls, likes, messages, and the generosity overall. It really means a lot for us to get some support in that way as well.A seriously big thank you. And so with that, we have a special mini episode where we're finally replying to one of our favorite calls we ever received on the podcast. We know that this response is now years delayed, but we still felt like we owed it to Berlin's number one graphic support group fan to respond and follow up on our word.Again, we are very sorry about the delay getting back to you. I think by now you received the t-shirt that you talk about in the call after a series of shipping fiascos where the shirt was returned from Germany back to the U.S. And then I had to send it again. I think that took several months, so I hope you got it. And please know that we value your time, your support, and your enthusiasm. And thank you again for the kind words.With that, please enjoy Berlin's number one graphic support group fan.

  • Episode 39 - John Provencher - Off Script
    A few months back Drew invited John Provencher to his Brooklyn home and we had a deep dish conversation on the many trappings of design work. John very candidly shared his many experiences working as a designer and how he found a “loop hole” from his former client-driven career.Nowadays, Provencher’s work revolves around the generative art he creates using scripts and code-based tools. At a time when technologies like NFTs, Web3, blockchain and AI are quickly shifting the landscape of creative work, John has been able to find harmony with technology. He even has taken a reverse trajectory and mined older machines like an old iMac and other archaic screen-based devices.Ironically, while producing this episode we had some heated battles with our own podcast technologies. We’ll spare you the details, but let’s just say that the current state of these AI tools—tools which many designers fear threaten their creative labor—simply aren’t all that smart yet. Graphic Support Group is about the human dimension of creative labor and, as we all know, humans aren’t perfect. So, please pardon some of the audio quality hiccups you may pick up throughout the episode. Fortunately, with patience and some luck with backed up files, we are finally able to share this lively conversation. At times we run “off-script,” but we had a great time speaking with John, talking about the epic Pink Floyd album “The Wall,” sharing how bad I am at video games, and getting behing the tomfoolery of graphic design. As always, thank you for the support and stay tuned for exciting updates in the next few months.Please subscribe, rate and share if you’ve enjoyed our sessions.- James Get full access to Graphic Support Group Podcast at graphicsupportgroup.substack.com/subscribe
