Some people are extraordinarily unique and change the game completely. We here at NOT REAL ART are pleased to present last year’s episode on Juxtapoz Magazine founder and lowbrow art enthusiast Greg Escalante. Escalante was a bona fide maverick and trailblazer, carving out a space where so many of us could feel at home.For this episode, originally aired April 9, 2021, some 30 artists and friends gathered to record personal audio messages in honor of Escalante’s birthday on April 17. To celebrate the episode’s one-year anniversary, we’re baking a cake, lighting the candles, and remembering Escalante’s impact for one more turn around the sun. Juxtapoz, the publication Escalante co-founded with cartoonist Robert Williams, is still a leading work in the alternative and underground art space. Escalante's legacy is about far more than the magazine—it’s about the community he built and the lives he touched. During the show, you’ll hear tributes from many of the artists who were impacted by Greg, including Robert Williams, Shag, Shepard Fairy, Elizabeth McGrath, and Chaz Bojórquez, just to name just a few.The episode is hosted by NOT REAL ART founder, Scott “Sourdough” Power, Heidi Johnson of Hijinx Artist Management &amp; PR, and Wendy Sherman, who acted as Escalante’s personal assistant and gallery manager. Johnson and Sherman share their fondest memories of Greg, like his love of ice cream, their travels, and what a day spent with him would look like. Tune in to this week’s episode to hear the profound impact Escalante had, not just on the art world, but on the many weird and wonderful people in it.Key Points From This Greg Escalante Episode:The first time “Sourdough” heard about Escalante and Juxtapoz in 1995Hans's experience of being in Southern California in the center of the community Escalante was buildingHeidi's experience of working with Escalante and how they helped one another's careersHear artists like Robert Williams, Mark Ryden and Scott Hess share stories about their dear friend, EscalanteMerry Karnowsky, Ben Goretsky, Shag, Shepard Fairy, and Shana Nys Dambrot honor EscalanteHow Escalante changed Elizabeth McGrath's life and career foreverWhat a day spend with Escalante in Chinatown would look likeHeidi shares a story of a dinner she and Escalante went to when he had a rare drinkReflecting on some of Escalante’s wild birthday celebrationsHow Escalante approached studio visits with his characteristic generosity and opennessMore artists, including Marnie Weber, Natalia Faber, Timothy Robert Smith share what Escalante meant to themEscalante had a unique way of making people feel truly seenThe timeline of starting Juxtapoz; it all happened very quickly after he met RobertWhat Juxtapoz means to the art world and artists who ordinarily would have been ignoredThe story of how Robert and Escalante connected and metChaz Bojórquez shares the story of his and Escalante's friendshipSome other artists tell stories of their memories with EscalanteEscalante's experience of seeing Robert's work on the cover of ThrasherEscalante's relationships with gallerists were as special and unique as his ones with artistsInsights into Escalante's generosity with his art collection and his penchant for giving art away.Reflecting on the fun that Escalante brought to the often serious art worldEscalante’s varied music taste and his love for all genresHear about Escalante's spiritual life and what he might have thought about The VaticanThe story of how Wendy met Escalante after being interested in lowbrow art for many yearsDoug Harvey, LC, and more pay tribute to EscalanteHeidi's trip with Escalante to Mexico and his other travels over the yearsEscalante did not just change the art scene; he changed people's livesMore friends and artists share their tributes to Escalante to end the showFor more information visit: https://notrealart.com/juxtapoz-founder-greg-escalante/Links Mentioned in Today’s Episode:Greg Escalante — https://www.nytimes.com/2017/09/15/arts/greg-escalante-champion-of-lowbrow-art-dies-at-62.htmlJuxtapoz — https://www.juxtapoz.com/Hijinx PR — https://www.hijinxarts.com/Heidi Johnson on Twitter — https://twitter.com/hijinxprRobert Williams — https://www.robtwilliamsstudio.com/Scott Hess — https://www.artsy.net/artist/f-scott-hessMerry Karnowsky Gallery — https://kpprojects.net/Ben Goretsky — https://www.instagram.com/bgoretsky/Shag — http://www.shag.com/Shepard Fairy — https://obeygiant.com/Shana Nys Dambrot — http://www.sndx.net/Thomas Kinkade — https://thomaskinkade.com/Elizabeth McGrath — https://elizabethmcgrath.com/Scoops — https://www.instagram.com/scoopsbic/Eric White — http://ewhite.com/Marnie Weber — https://www.simonleegallery.com/artists/marnie-weber/Natalia Fabia — https://www.nataliafabia.com/Timothy Robert Smith — https://www.instagram.com/timothyrobertsmith/Enzia Farrell — http://enziafarrell.com/Chaz Bojórquez — https://www.instagram.com/chaz_bojorquez/The Lowbrow Art of Robert Williams — https://www.amazon.com/Lowbrow-Art-Robert-Williams/dp/0867194189Isabel Samaras — https://www.instagram.com/isabelsamaras.art/Grand Central Art Center — http://www.grandcentralartcenter.com/Mark Hyden — https://www.markryden.com/Odd Nerdrum — https://nerdrum.com/Thrasher — https://www.thrashermagazine.com/Andrew Hosner — https://urban-nation.com/artist/andrew-hosner/The Beast Brothers — https://www.instagram.com/thebeastbrothers/Robert Berman Gallery — http://www.robertbermangallery.com/Jorge R.

A truly unique, one-of-a-kind person. Those mavericks, those trailblazers that we need to make history. And so, today, I thought we’d take time to honor one of those mavericks, one of those amazing, unique, one-of-a-kind human beings, Mr. Greg Escalante.” — Sourdough [0:03:10.0]“Until Greg, no-one had really ever invested anything in me. And he showed me that there was this whole other world out there you could survive and become successful in. He genuinely believed I had talent and gave me a chance, and that was huge. And that was Greg. He was the foundation for so many artists. He was always networking. Always networking. But never, ever for himself, always everyone around him. Sometimes he would just call me at the crack of dawn and have this whole future planned out for everyone. For me, for everyone he worked with and if you put in the work, he'd make it happen. He made dreams come true. The legacy he left behind is monumental. And it's not even the art. It's the community he built for all of us. And on his birthday, I think of all the gifts that he gave us. The gift of his optimism, the gift of a place to be ourselves, to be free to create without judgment, and confidence that good things will happen because of it. I really miss him.” — Elizabeth McGrath [0:35:00.0]“After years of an art market that felt very exclusive and not inclusive, I think he was always ahead of his time in that he wanted everyone to enjoy art and everyone should be invited to the party. And whether you can buy art or not, you should be able to feel it and live with it. He really broke down that barrier too.” — @hijinxpr [1:41:17.0]“Besides all the great stuff that he did for the scene and for the movement and the community, on an individual level, he really helped a lot of people be the best they could be.” — @sanjusan[2:15:26.0]

Remembering Juxtapoz Founder and Lowbrow Art Enthusiast Greg Escalante

Some people are extraordinarily unique and change the game completely. Greg Escalante was a bona fide maverick and trailblazer, carving out a space where so many of us could feel at home. Juxtapoz Magazine, the publication Greg co-founded, is still a leading work in the alternative and underground art space. Greg's legacy is about far more than the magazine; it is about the community he built and the lives he touched. Not only did he provide unconditional support to so many artists early in their careers, but he quite literally changed so many people's lives. In this incredibly special episode, filmmaker, Hans Fjellestad, Greg's gallery director, Wendy Sherman, and PR powerhouse, Heidi Johnson join Sourdough to reflect on Greg's life. During the show, you will hear tributes from many of the artists who were impacted by Greg, including Robert Williams, Shag, Shepard Fairy, Elizabeth McGrath, and Chaz Bojórquez, to name just a few. Heidi and Wendy also share some of their fondest memories of Greg, like his love of ice cream, their travels, and what a day spent with him would look like. Tuning in, you will understand the profound impact that Greg Escalante had not only on the art world but on the many weird and wonderful people in it!  Key Points From This Episode:  The first time Sourdough heard about Greg and was introduced to Juxtapoz in 1995.  Hans's experience of being in Southern California in the center of the community Greg was building.  Heidi's experience of working with Greg and how they helped one another's careers.  Hear artists like Robert Williams and Scott Hess share stories about their dear friend, Greg.  Merry Karnowsky, Ben Goretsky, Shag, Shepard Fairy, and Shana Nys Dambrot honor Greg.  How Greg changed Elizabeth McGrath's life and career forever.  What a day spend with Greg in Chinatown would look like.  Heidi shares a story of a dinner she and Greg went to when he had a rare drink.  Reflecting on some of Greg's wild birthday celebrations.  How Greg approached studio visits with his characteristic generosity and openness.  More artists, including Marnie Weber, Natalia Faber, Timothy Robert Smith share what Greg meant to them.  Greg had a unique way of making people feel truly seen.  The timeline of starting Juxtapoz; it all happened very quickly after he met Robert.  What Juxtapoz means to the art world and artists who ordinarily would have been ignored.  The story of how Robert and Greg connected and met.  Chaz Bojórquez shares the story of his and Greg's friendship.   Some other artists tell stories of their memories with Greg.  Greg's experience of seeing Robert's work on the cover of Thrasher.  Greg's relationships with gallerists were as special and unique as his ones with artists.  Insights into Greg's generosity with his art collection and his penchant for giving art away.  Reflecting on the fun that Greg brought to the often serious art world.  Greg's varied music taste and his love for all genres.  Hear about Greg's spiritual life and what he might have thought about The Vatican.   The story of how Wendy met Greg after being interested in lowbrow art for many years.  Doug Harvey, LC, and more pay tribute to Greg.  Heidi's trip with Greg to Mexico and his other travels over the years.  Greg did not just change the art scene; he changed people's lives.  More friends and artists share their tributes to Greg to end the show.
