In this inspiring episode of the Practicing Art Podcast, host Kanon Knaphus sits down with visionary artist Artfool (Maurice Laflamme III) to explore the deeper layers of the artistic journey. Broadcasting from his desert sanctuary, Broken Lantern in Joshua Tree, Artfool shares raw insights into his daily 12-hour painting practice, the spiritual nature of creativity, and how psychedelics have shaped his process and perspective.
Listeners will discover how Maurice:
- Maintains artistic discipline through marathon painting sessions
- Translates emotion and vision into large-scale works
- Balances fatherhood and art
- Co-creates immersive festival experiences (Stilldream, Burning Man)
- Builds and nurtures an intentional art community in the high desert
With themes of visionary art, creative devotion, psychedelic inspiration, and the artist’s path to mastery, this episode is a must-listen for artists, seekers, and fans of soul-driven work.
