Lydia Emily is our guest this evening Lydia thank you so much for coming in thank you for having me you can hear the jelly beans there we go cool Lydia Emily artist activist it's a little bit difficult to pigeonhole but if I have to come up with a couple words for you loved ones it would be a muralist and activist and also but you do a lot of brush work paint as well like oils and such is that correct it is I like my soundtrack you like this I do want to dance while we're talking and I can't dance so it's really sad for everybody yeah yeah actually I'm an oil painter first that's what I do first I paint paintings I paint oil paintings first and then if I want to turn that into a mural I do that from a painting I never do a mural freehand first it's always from a painting that I've started excellent and let me see you were born in Chicago I was born in Chicago yeah wow you did do your research how long did you stick around then parts I lived in Chicago for I think a few weeks before my parents got do you have any great memories in those first few weeks yeah it's good times good times there my parents were big travelers so I was born in Chicago and then we went to gosh I don't even I don't even know all the places we went but we lived in New Zealand for a while we lived in California I've lived in New Orleans and New York and San Francisco and I think I was raised moving every three years and so I never stopped that's how I was bred and how long did that vagabond sort of upbringing last year last well as in my whole life until this right now living in Los Angeles I've been here for almost ten no I've been here for ten years maybe like nine and a half years and that's the longest I've ever been any place ever are you sticking around I'm planning on it came here 9-11 it just happened and I lived in New York City and that was tough on us and my mom was diagnosed with cancer and she lived here in Los Angeles and I was about to have a baby so I was like you know what let's just go to Los Angeles and check it out and it's really nice I like being close to my mom yeah so I like it here excellent well we're glad to have you you've certainly made yourself part of the Los Angeles tapestry you know you put your mark here I think so that's all thanks to you've peed in enough spots to claim it as your own you can ask you can ask Heather you're the person who's working on the documentary I always forget to turn my microphone off and I'm constantly leaving it on while I'm peeing excellent that'll be what do they call this the I don't know what do they call that deleted scenes behind the scenes right B-roll peeing B-roll yeah and you I read somewhere that one of your parents or maybe both your parents or somebody was a civil rights activist my mother was a civil rights activist she traveled from New Orleans through to Mississippi and tried went from town to town because the law had changed black people were allowed to vote they were allowed to vote but they didn't want to register to vote because when people were registering to vote even though the law said they could the minute they registered they'd lose their jobs they would get kicked out of their housing so even though times were changing and people were allowed to vote people were afraid to register to vote so my mom went from town to town trying to convince people to come out of their houses and go and register to vote she always says that one of the things that she really regrets about that work is that she after she got people to go and register to vote she then went on to another town tried to convince those people to get out and register to vote and she never went back to see the repercussions from the people before and when she read about it she learned that so many people had lost their jobs had lost their livelihood and their places to live and she was so idealistic and young and was like no you can vote now so you should do it not realizing how their lives would be dramatically changed by that and would you say from an early age you sort of caught that same fire as far as yeah I mean we're a whole we're a whole bloodline of loud mouths you know what I mean everybody in my family is pretty outspoken so yeah I mean when I was growing up the motto in the house was once you know you can't not know that's the way it is as soon as you know something you can't like people maybe they'll I mean I'm not trying to advocate on vegetarianism I'm just using this as a metaphor people see footage of you know slaughterhouses but somehow they bury it deep down in them and they continue to eat meat I'm not saying anything about eating meat or not but the example is is that once you know something's happening you have to adjust your lifestyle based on that and when I was growing up the idea was is you should live every minute of your life like you're on the front page of the New York Times everything you do has an action reaction and can be seen and can affect everyone and so you should not you should remember that when life offers you scandalous or easy way outs or mild road you should remember that and you find your obviously your strongest way to communicate this is through your art oh yeah well no I mean I have I can't write I'm a terrible writer and I can't there are so many things I cannot do but what I can do is I can paint I can look at you and I can paint you I'm like a human photocopier I can take some oil paint and I can reproduce you really easily so the idea was is how can I help people with that what so I'm this photocopier what can I do to make a difference with that talent that's the whole premise of how I was raised just because you have something doesn't mean you take the easy way out now what what can you do to help people who don't have it as easy as you now that you've seen this now you understand what's going on you know in whatever part of the world you're interested in or in your own backyard if your talent is to paint then how do you paint how do you use paintings to help people I love doing something just going to qualify Lydia her background here really fast she's a as I mentioned before she does a lot of public murals she's an oil painter obviously an activist um she's done murals in Los Angeles San Francisco Phoenix Brooklyn Oakland DC uh St. Thomas Virgin Islands probably there's a few other ones I don't know about she's uh she's shown in galleries uh at most of the cities that I just named uh in addition to Miami Berlin Milan Haiti oh my goodness she's been all around the world she's in the band and uh she's using these uh she's using these showings to uh communicate these uh these concerns and these things that uh she's bearing witness to uh some shit we should all know about right well I mean for the last two years two years ago everything I did was about Tibet all my I'm so interested in what was happening in Tibet so I decided to completely focus all my artwork on it my paintings were of Tibetan people of their struggle I had a solo show the entire solo show was about the struggles of people in Tibet from there I was exposed to things like great books like China Safari and how people are buying up land in Africa and how people are being affected by that land by who's buying the land the Chinese are buying the land so what's happening to the indigenous people of the area so the land's being bought up underneath them where are they going how's that working so then that led me into the work of painting the Maasai people or in Kenya so each each subject that I move on to has come to me from learning about the last subject I completely saturated myself in if that makes any sense it does makes perfect sense I want to talk to you we're going to play a little bit of music and then we're going to come back and I want to talk to you about your the artwork itself you know the usual influences and things like that of course meet you know what your tools of the trade are alright want to hear a little bit of music first though yes I do I want to hear some more of the same music I got there's a recent discovery of me personally although this cat's been around for a while and there's a lot of people out there there's going to be a lot of a lot of facepalm with how did and I know this guy but he goes by the name of

Hey, everybody. We're having a lot of fun. So, Lydia, what, tell me a little bit about, let me see, the latest large piece that I know. I'm sorry. I am. It's a, is a. The one in the US Virgin Islands? No, the Jessica, Jessica's story. Jessica's story is on Six and Sarah's in Skid Row, here in Skid Row. And that was originally put together by a charity called Chime for Change, which was founded by Gucci, the fashion company. Okay. And they hired Libby Spears, who owns a production company called Blueprint Films, to find a muralist, a designer. And they hired a muralist to put together, to put a muralist with a woman who had been sexually trafficked and to hear her whole story. I saw that. And then to, yeah. And they made a beautiful short about it, actually. And it's fantastic. And I was really pleased with that. Since that one I've done, I did one in the US Virgin Islands of a Messiah woman on a World War II, an abandoned World War II generator room. Messiah woman. Yeah. She's like- Did you find? She's from Kenya. They're an indigenous tribe in Kenya. And they're known visually, they're known for other things, but visually they're known for their incredibly beautiful bead work and really bright, beautiful beads and really bright, bright, beautiful skin. And just their traditional dress is remarkable. And as a painter, like- Yeah. Incredible. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. piece? Um, I don't, I don't think about feet. It's an, it's a story and a half. It's a story tall, probably a story tall. And then, um, a small building long, that's like the most unofficial metric system ever. And, um, you chose, you knew what the subject matter was. I knew what the subject matter was when I went. Yeah. And I actually had to put down a lot of paper because the building was so completely, uh, the side of the building, the facade was completely coming off. It was concrete and it just had been weathered hurricane after hurricane. And so I had to fill all the holes with paper and spackle and things like that to try and flatten it a little bit because I couldn't make a face out of her. Like you couldn't even, the building was so destroyed. You couldn't have made a face. So I tried to fill it in as best as I could, but I only worked on it for, I worked on it for a day and, um, there's a picture of it on my website. And then, um, I mean, uh, LydiaEmily.com. Yeah. And then, um, before that one, I did, um, a project with, um, Daniel LaHoda and, um, the Weinstein company. So they had put out a movie or they bought a movie, um, about Oscar Grant, who was the young black man who was shot in the back where he was handcuffed in San Francisco on the bar. I did see that one. Yeah. And, um, somebody made a local Oakland filmmaker made a movie about it. And the Weinstein's, I think, saw it at Sundance or something and loved it and bought it. And part of their promotion of the film was to have a few muralists, street artists do murals of this. So I did Los Angeles and, um, oh no, I did San Francisco and LNY did, um, New York. And so I went and I did that. Okay. Let's, uh, uh, let's talk about that one. Like, uh, what's your prep work that you would lay down? I know you talked briefly about the one in Virgin Islands laying down paper, you know? Right. I mean, they're all different. It's the, one, uh, here in Skid Row is just acrylic. It's just outdoor acrylic Nova color on, on the wall. And the wall was already smooth and ready to go. The one in the Virgin Islands required so much prep. And the one in San Francisco was actually done on Echo Flex. Is that right? Echo Flex was done on Echo Flex, which is the problem with billboards is, is that they're made out of vinyl and they're incredibly toxic and you can't recycle them. And so Daniel LaJoda had, um, found this company that makes environmentally friendly billboard material. So it's, it's recyclable billboard material. It's called Echo Flex. And so his idea was because the original painting I had done of Oscar Grant has my, what I'm known for, which is doing the Sunday New York Times behind all of my pieces. I paint only on the Sunday New York Times and the movie company, the Weinstein company loved the Sunday New York Times, but how do you put that on? Well, they liked the original painting. So how do we get newsprint on a two-story building? That's a half a city block long. That would take a crew of people. Why do you only use Sunday New York Times? Well, why do I only use Sunday New York Times? When I was growing up, the Sunday New York Times was like the Bible in my house. So if other people, other artists paint their, their paintings on Bible passages or mine, my parents were academics and their premise was, I mean, you're smart first and everything else comes second. Well, let's talk about the, uh, Jessica one. Cause that's the one that's, uh, the most local to the show right now. Right. Okay. So, um, um, yeah, not, not much. But yeah. Okay. So you did a lot of prep as far as the, uh, the building, the facade, you know, facade was perfect. And, uh, so you, you sketch out what the original piece is going to be and, uh, uh, you, you know, I'm sure you revise it, modify it. And then, Well, I was sat with her and I heard her story. I had to listen to her story first. Like, so there's a portrait of her, but then there's these hummingbirds in it because that was really important to her story. And then there's some writing on it that was very important to her from a song that meant a lot to her during her process. So, But in the sketch, in the preliminary, like sketching, you know, you're, you're, you're, you're doing that. Do you already know what the building where it's going? So you have to take an account like, Well, we went and we photographed the building. Okay. That was another, um, So you know where the windows and things like that are. Yeah. Well, and that was another project that we got help from LA Free Walls on. So he was able to take us down to the building and say, this is the building that I think is appropriate based on what you're doing and the person who owns the building and the corner that it's on and all these things come together. And then we photograph it. We take the photograph home, do the sketch and yeah, look at it and say, okay, well, there are windows here. Her face obviously can't be in this corner, you know, or what are we going to do about those windows? We're going to paint them out. And then we have to discuss with the building owner, are we allowed to paint on this? Or how can we go to the ground? Can we go to the ceiling? How do we have access? I mean, there's a, it's a long process. Excellent. And, uh, I imagine you got, uh, some, some involved, some people helping you out. I do. I do on, uh, in the, um, in the Jessica mural itself, I was, um, assisted by Van Arno and Margaret Leahy. Margaret Leahy is a phenomenal toy maker. She's not even a muralist. She's incredibly, you know, she's very famous in the doll scene and she, she makes these incredible dolls. They're so, she's so talented. The doll scene. I know there's a scene for everything, you know. Good band name. Doll scene. That's awesome. No, but there is people who are like, you know, like she's the kind of person who does the, the, the beautifully intricate carved, um, Pinocchios when you go to Disneyland and they're on the top shelf and they're made out of wood. And then she's like, she does wax. Like she does those. She's mad legit. It's incredible what she can do with her hands. And then Van Arno, who also assisted me on that mural is, you know, I mean, you can Google Van. He's a remarkable painter. He's a, he's a mannerist. And so his, his, his technique is so good and he had never done a mural before. So it was great for all of us. Um, loved ones, you can view, uh, this work that we're talking about and we have been talking about the other works and many, many others at, uh, at Lydia's website, www.ladylady.com. Um, a little bit more, a little bit more, but kissing for Lemony. She, uh, she founded the Karma Underground. Uh, could you tell us just very briefly about that? Yeah. Uh, two years ago I founded the Karma Underground, which is, uh, we're kind of a not for profit money laundering business. That's the best way I can say it. We are not the typical not for profit where people make money. None of us get paid. There's seven of us. We're all volunteers. We all have our role. We throw art shows. I get all my friends together who are artists and I beg them for art and then we have a big art show. We sell the art and every year the money goes to the charity we have chosen. So two years ago we helped build a small girl for a school for nomadic girls in Tibet. This year our show was for Tibet house, a totally different charity, but also a Tibet related charity. And then next year we're talking about doing a local charity at Los Angeles charity. And so we'll do the same thing. We have art shows the night of the, uh, first night of the show. We have an auction where everything goes for half price and people bid on stuff and it's, it's great for everybody. For me, I felt like there's all my artists friends here in Los Angeles are so talented and they want to give and they want to be charitable, but there's not really an organization that's just trying to have art shows. There's there's it's, it's always run by something bigger than us. And so I thought, what if it was one of us? What if it was just one of us artists put, you know, playing art gallery for the night, putting together a show. And people, you know, they're like, Oh, I want to do this. I want to do this. I want to do this. I want to do this. I want to do this. I want to do this. I want to do this. I want to do this. I want to do this. I want to do this. And people, they, they want to give, they, they want to be, they want to participate. They just need the venue to participate. Yeah. Excellent. Well, Lydia Emily, artist, activist, mom, world traveler, jelly beans sorter. Apparently the only thing she can't do is sit down too much for very long, you know, before she has to get out there and I guess leave the world a little bit better place than when she started.
