15 M.o.F. - Travis Parr (Artist / Icelantic Skis) - a podcast by Brian Goldrich

Welcome back. It is goldy right here talking on this side. And it is the 15 minutes of fame.  And as a matter of fact, joining me today on this particular cast is mr. Travis parr. He is a painting and other type of medium artist.  And the way I got to meet this fine gentleman was because I enjoy skiing what you might see behind me right now, these fine, fine icelantic skis, born and raised right out of golden, colorado and well, evergreen as well.  That's where they're made now in denver, golden, evergreen. You guys are so colorado-ry that travis is the guy who paints all the top sheets for icelantic. He's done it since the beginning, and he's still doing it now.  The questions i've got for travis today is, "what the hell is going on, man? " holy cow. Talk about a curveball in the world that we're living in.  Corona virus and how does this treat what you've done in the past and what you're doing now? Well, we're only currently on day 15. Who knows how long this thing's gonna go? But you know what? I was just saying was, you know, as a community and as a global entity, we've always looked towards the arts, and right now, you know, it's netflix, it's tv, it's social media.  It's... It's these awesome zoom meetings that are happening and things are changing. People are getting super creative on how they're gonna connect with each other, what they're actually gonna offer to the society. And, you know, I don't see my profession actually being stunted by this.  There's a lot of creativity out there and things to talk about, about what's going on. Keep going. And what we're going through. And so, by doing that, it's... It's just a crazy process.  For the first week, I currently didn't create anything. I just kind of wanted to sit here and and manifest, like, really what is going on. And instead of, you know, working out of fear, I really wanna work out of love.  I mean, I think that's the true thing that we all need to kind of figure out is how do we... How do we make these decisions? And are these decisions based out of fear or are they gonna be based out of love. And right now it's just, I mean, the pot is just boiling over with all of these emotions. So as an artist, these are our tools for our craft to express our self, and so there's definitely a lot of content to be created from this. That's a really interesting point. I kind of now kind of bring it to a tangible moment that... Could we see a line of icelantic skis that have a covid-19  Interjection because of what happened in your life? Will there be a top plate that is kind of like homage to a time of life? Well, you know, what's funny is i've been doing that with icelantic since day one.
