Ed Turner of Seniors Web Radio has published an interview with David and Patricia Butler about our interactive online learning model here at ArtistWorks. Ed asks how the idea of ArtistWorks all came about, which David explains with his own story of wanting to develop a better way for learning guitar. Remember what they say about necesity being the mother of invention? It's true.
Gold Voltron Speaks
Thu, 10/17/2013 - 10:16am
He's a mystery wrapped in a riddle... Maybe not quite, but I've always wanted to describe someone that way. Regardless, I first became aware of Gold Voltron in 2009 when QSU first launched. He was always positive and encouraging, and always uploading beats for us to skratch to. He also had a quirky sense of humour which felt right at home, and quickly became one of the most well-known characters on QSU. Not only was I seriously impressed by the level of his skratch skills, but also his knowlege of beats and music is insane! I learned a lot just through the stuff he posted, but always wanted to interview him for the blog - I had a lot of questions! So finally after years of procrastinating, I sent all the questions I had - and thankfully he answered them all! So here it is, Gold Voltron speaking on just about everything I wanted to know - enjoy it nerdz!
Johnny's Art Journey

It's a great feeling when as a student you're able to impress the teacher. One of Justin BUA's art students sent him this portrait drawing - which if you notice is made up entirely of hundreds (thousands?) of the little "BUA"s. Incredible! BUA posted the picture from his Facebook page, where it's gotten a ton of feedback and positive praise from people all over the world. We reached out to the artist, who's been studying how to draw with BUA's online art lessons for a couple months now, and we're very excited to showcase him in our latest edition of "Profiles in Online Learning."
AW: How old are you and what should we call you?
JU: My name is Johnny Utah and Yikes I’m 36!
AW: Where are you from?
JU: Born in Seoul, Korea and moved out to the US in 1981. I have been living in La Habra, California since then.

Profiles in Online Learning: BlueLizardMan

ArtistWorks: What's your real name?
BlueLizardMan: Bob Ketterlinus
AW: How old are you?
BLM: 61 (yikes).
AW: Where are you from?
BLM: I've lived most of my life in Glenside, PA, a wonderful, small close-knit commuter suburb of Philadelphia. I live around the corner from the historic Keswick Theater (my first date when it was still a movie theater), host to top name acts like BB King, Buddy Guy, Johnny Cash and too many others to list. I've also lived in Loch Haven and Harrisburg, PA and Washington DC area when in college/grad school.
AW: BlueLizardMan is an interesting username... what are the origins there?
BLM: I picked up the nickname Lizard during a pickup football game in high school. I was very skinny and when I tried to tackle someone I was carried me into the end zone on their back - someone said I looked like a lizard on a rock. All of my male friends have nicknames - Turk, Ear, Head, Sarge, Puswart, etc. About 5 years ago when I was really getting into playing Blues and Blues Rock and Classic Rock covers on electric guitar with my buddies I had the idea I needed a new "stage" name - thus BlueLizardMan (a.k.a BLM).
