The Sisters Perry are back baby! This week we discuss the color authority that is Pantone and how they streamlined color which is kind of a big deal. The sisters look back at the history of PMS, introduce our good friend Roy G. Biv, and get down with some color psychology. Take aways this week are that 1. you don't mess with Adobe and 2. Miranda Priestly was right.  Find images and links to what we discussed at artclubpodcast.com

It is history time!! But it's super relevant and fun. This week Art Club is talking about Persian carpets and they're (we're sure) outrageous shipping costs!

We find many cousins, learn about the spring sheer and discover that Ann pronounces everything weird always.  Find images and links to what we discussed at artclubpodcast.com --- This episode is...

Scottland!!! This week, Art Club is breaking it down with clay animation (just one part of the bigger topic of stop motion). The sisters talk about all your favorite clay friends from Gumby and Pokey to Wallace and Gromit to Morph (ah classic Morph).

It's the remix, Intaglio 2: The Streets! This week we wanted to throw it way back and give our first episode another try (since we have improved since day one) so we are looking at the little baby printing method of intaglio. The sisters talk cash money, discuss how much intaglio needs to be coddled and rock on with our ephemeral selves. And as always with printmaking it is process, process and more process!  Find images and links to what we discussed at artclubpodcast.com --- This...

This week, Art Club is visiting Jerusalem 2.0 aka the Churches at Lalibela in Ethiopia! It's one city with 11 legendary rock cut churches that were built by angels (probably) and may or may not have held the Arc of the Covenant (whom is quite dramatic). The sisters discuss the history and restoration issues at Lalibela and decide that the Old Testament is the best testament. Oh and the name means "the bees recognize your sovereignty" so original Queen Bee over here.  Find images and links to...

You're getting paid by the hour, so make it detailed as hell! This week Art Club is going old school with some rock-cut architecture (a la Abu Simbel, the ancient city of Petra and more). The Sisters Perry use all parts of the buffalo, create a new radio host dubbed The King of Kush and decide that the WHS (World Heritage Site, duh) is the new VIP.  Oh and all the names are wonderful.  Find images and links to what we discussed at artclubpodcast.com --- This episode is sponsored by ·...

Welcome to the stage the incomparable, the always topical, #1 tire manufacturer in the world....Lego! For the sisters Perry, Lego feels like Christmas which makes it our perfect holiday treat (after Cricket on the Hearth). This week, we're going deep into Lego's plastic use and we learn that Legos have been to space. But really that we just want everything in miniature. Also, apparently, Laura does a mean elevator pitch which we will hopefully hear soon.  Find images and links to what we...

If you didn't learn in the Faberge Egg episode, we LOVE Russian royalty and that's what we're talking about this week! We discuss the sorted history of The Winter Palace (which is now the Hermitage Museum) located in St. Petersburg. The sisters learn some common knowledge, Russian monarchs tax everything you love and there are many cats. Ann learns a fun fact about the London Bridge and that, honestly, being a Tsar is hard.

Art Club is coming to ya live-ish! Never heard of optical dot art? Cool, cause we just made it up! This week we're making our own category  of art in which the brain goes "ehh close enough" (including Pointillism, stippling, Ben-Day dots and then some). The sisters discuss Willy Wonka and meet our new favorite super villain extraordinaire Polka-Dot Man.  Find images and links to what we discussed at artcludpodcast.com --- This episode is sponsored by · Anchor: The easiest way to make a...

Get ready to conga to the coffin cause this week we're talking about death and art! If art has taught us anything, it is that humans are obsessed with death (always have been and probably always will be). The sisters discuss bubbles as omens of death, death photography and mourning jewelry (which is possibly Laura's least favorite thing ever) among other form of momento mori art. But seriously, this episode gets creepy so be warned!!  Find images and links to what we discussed at...

This week Art Club is going hella metal and looking at some Viking art! We are taking a dive into runestones which are either the OG war memorials or very large obituaries. The sisters spoil the show "Vikings" and discover the ultimate pantie-dropper name: Runemaster Bloodaxe. But remember that while runestones are about a dead person, they're really about who made them.  Find images and links to what we discussed at artclubpodcast.com --- This episode is sponsored by · Anchor: The...

Art Club would like to introduce the oldest (and coolest) known textile: felt! This week we're going on a journey where we learn that felt is a big big deal from its origins to its many varied uses by modern-day artists. Ann sees camels in a whole new light and Laura promises that she knows the difference between felt and foam (seriously, she does). But the biggest take-away this week is that you can light anything on fire if you want it enough.  Find images and links to what we discussed at...

Knots or nothing baby! This week Art Club is checking out knot art from macrame to forensic knotting. The sisters plan a macrame themed Met Gala, meet zombi William III, reminisce about friendship bracelets and heavily discuss sailor macrame circles. Ann gets very impressed with Laura's writing and we get a little deep. Also there are many many puns, it's just too easy. Why knot!  Find images and links to what we discussed at artclubpodcast.com --- This episode is sponsored by · Anchor:...

You don't find grit son, you earn it!! We are Art Club and this week, we're looking at another method of printmaking: lithography (aka stone mark)! The sisters make a brief stop at the Moulin Rouge, pick their mascot (welcome the Art Club Levigators)  and decided that printmaking is most definitely not an art form for the procrastinator. Also, Ann has found the new Spice Girls and Laura becomes a 1940's detective. Get ready for the most fun you've ever had in your life! Find images and links...

Constant vigilance, CONSTANT! Welcome to Art Club where Laura illegally sets off fireworks, time is an illusion and Ann is feeling weird (but hopes you still want to be friends).

The sisters require no unnecessary noise during their newest reality competition show: Firemasters but there will sound effects in case you forgot how fireworks sound.  Find images and links to what we discussed at...

Paint a picture, it'll last longer! This week Art Club has a mini art history lesson as we look at the goddess  Venus in western art from antiquity to today. The sisters marvel at the soap opera that is mythology, learn that word choice really is crucial and look for that classic gothic curve (you know where her limbs are too long but in a hot way). Oh and there is more Titan, hallelujah!  Find images and links to what we discussed at artclubpodcast.com --- This episode is sponsored by...

Welcome to a very special episode of Art Club where you get to meet the cast! Ann and Laura decide to take a break and shoot the shit with a little Q&A. The sisters Perry answer your burning questions such as...what would we name out boat? What is our mythical creature of choice? Which painting would we like to be trapped in?

Robins! Paint! Stat! Art Club's second minisode is a follow-up to our Coloring Books episode (so check them both out). We learn about the paint-by-numbers craze which was inspired by THE Leonardo Da Vinci and was a part of the first colored picture of Mars. Laura and Ann go on a small EDM DJ tangent but mostly we just want to let the people paint and have a good time damn it!  Check out our website for more Art Club at artclubpodcast.com

Prepare yourselves for some sassy, saucy adult coloring books on Art Club. This week, the sisters Perry explore coloring books from their strict start to their political teen years and finally to the relaxation of old age. Ann and Laura begin in the 80's (the 1680's duh), discover that there is no room for fun in early coloring books and have a philosophical debate on whether kids should even be allowed coloring books (it gets real). Color for your health and always find a way to sneak "doth"...

It's our first episode about food and sadly no, sweetbreads are not what you think they are. We're discussing the traditions of weddings cakes from ancient Rome to now but mostly focusing on how much we love food. Ann and Laura ask the big questions like where is the 4th tier of Queen Elizabeth's wedding cake? What does "full of eggs" really mean? Is there an open bar? And what are your feelings on a chrome-themed wedding? Remember, the world is your pet oyster!  Find images and links to...

Introducing the new hosts of Art Club, L.E. and A.R. Perry! (It's still just Laura and Ann). This week is part II of our tattoo double feature and this time we're focusing on tattooing in the USA from the 1776 to present day. We're getting all of our passwords tattooed (how else are we going to remember?) and making sure everything is Turkish Bath level classy.  It's sailors, soldiers and the circus, which is nothing to sneeze at!  Find images and links to what we discussed at...

It's only skin deep guys! In celebration of our 25th episode, we're doing a two-parter on the art of tattooing. EZ Diamond (Laura) and Annling (Ann) are minimizing small talk and hitting all the continents to discuss early tattoo traditions. No matter where in the world we go or which tattooed mummy we're discussing, women always dominate. Make sure to tune in next week for tattoos part 2!  Find links and images to what we discussed at artclubpodcast.com --- This episode is sponsored by...
