    Michael Krebber: Simple is Difficult
    Feb 7 2020

    A painting isn't a work of art until YOU get to spend some time with it.

    But what if you don't like it?

    Is it still Art?

  • A Study in Burnt Orange (Part 3)

    A Study in Burnt Orange (Part 3)
    Sep 22 2019

    In this episode, we hear from quite a few Cologne celebrities — even if they're no longer, um, hanging around...

    Also, a major synchronicity pops up — making for a pretty cool surprise...

    And if you're not sure what a synchronicity is — I've got a pretty good definition you can easily grok, without having to read Carl Jung's 100 page treatise on it...

    you'll find a full transcript of the episode along with links, credits and a few surprises at kristo.art: right here
