Uncut ArtSchool
Welcome to UnCut ArtSchool, a podcast complete with insight for artists and anyone else searching for self-discovery. All content originates and comes from the mind of Donald Black, Jr. and is transcribed and edited by Ali Black. Donald is an artist, thinker and visionary who has spent his whole life working to discover who he is, and he has been sharing what he’s learned with others along the way. After realizing that traditional schooling and education was selling him somebody else’s dream, he decided to go in his own direction and discovered that nothing—no school, university, gatekeeper, or curator—could teach him who he is. UnCut ArtSchool brings you information uncensored, unfiltered and unabridged to illuminate truth and offer raw and transparent advice for anyone looking to grow and find a real response to one of life’s ultimate questions: Who Am I?
