In this episode of Lattes & Art, we sit down with artist and thinker Roston Johnson for a deep, engaging conversation about the power of inspiration—and how it can shape us in unexpected ways. Roston takes us beyond the traditional art world to explore how Ray Bradbury’s dystopian novel Fahrenheit 451 has influenced his perspective, not just as a creative, but as a person navigating complex societal and cultural landscapes.
Together, we unpack how a single work of art—whether visual, literary, or otherwise—can challenge us to reflect, rethink, and reimagine our place in the world. This episode is a testament to the idea that inspiration isn’t confined to the studio; it can come from the books we read, the stories we hear, and the questions we dare to ask.
Grab a latte, lean in, and get ready for a rich discussion on how art, in all its forms, can spark something profound.
