In Platemark s3e45, host Ann Shafer talks with Bob Schneider, who is best known for his music but is a serious artist as well. You may know some of his best-loved songs like 40 Dogs (Like Romeo and Juliet), Honeypot, Deep Blue Sea, and Peaches, but you will be delighted to learn about his print output. These are gorgeous etchings primarily made with Katherine Brimberry at Flatbed Press in Bob's hometown, Austin, TX.
In the episode, Bob and Ann talk about all sorts of things including anxiety, AI, and creativity. Their discussion about creativity is fascinating: he's a surrealist at heart and subscribes to the idea that images emerge unbidden from his subconscious. In fact, he believes he is just cultivating things that are already there.
Numerous etchings are online at flatbedpress.com. His digital compositions, collages, and paintings are available at Yard Dog Gallery.
Bob plays a lot of live shows in Texas, including weekly Monday nights sets at Saxon Pub in Austin. He plays select shows in other places; check his website for tour dates near you. He's a consummate performer and is worth seeking out.
