Show Notes
In Memoriam: David Bjurstrom — One More Conversation
Some artists leave an impression. Others leave a legacy. David Bjurstrom did both.
A giant in the art fair world, David was more than an extraordinary artist. He was a larger-than-life presence who elevated the art on the street, inspired those around him, and helped shape the community we know and love.
For this special episode of The Independent Artist Podcast, we're reaching back to our very first season to revisit a conversation with David. We wanted to give our community the opportunity to hear his voice one more time, to enjoy his wit and wisdom, and to spend a little more time in his presence.
David shares how he first found his way into the art world, how he caught the bug, and how his journey unfolded. He also reflects on his online presence and his approach to the occasional drama of the art fair world, offering one of his wonderfully memorable observations: "Not my monkeys, not my circus, but I sure love circuses."
It's a conversation filled with the humor, candor, and personality that made David so unforgettable.
We dedicate this episode with love to David's husband, William Bloodgood, and to everyone whose life was touched by David's remarkable spirit.
So pour yourself a gin and tonic, settle in, and join us for one more conversation with David Bjurstrom.
Here's to you, David.
