Who Am I?
Timothy “Kimo” Brien has started his career in Poetry and Theater in 1990. He learned how to play acoustic guitar and bass guitar from his older brother Pete and tuba from his older brother Mike. Taking this into Thomas Jefferson High School he joined the school orchestra and took a beginning theater class. From there his desire to perform began. He also was stuck in an honors English class so he could take his electives and that is where he found his love of poetry, accidentally. Exposed to T.S. Elliot at that age, specifically, The Hollow Men, led Timothy on a journey of exploration. This was an accident as the class was reading one poem and Timothy was reading the one that would change his life forever.
What Do I Do?
After his MFA program, Timothy found himself in the “real” world, and without the security of academia to provide him with space, he created spaces in unlikely places. He started a podcast on BlogTalkRadio called Kimo’s Den of Iniquity which began as a poetry reading between friends from across the nation and eventually led to a scripted show of 65 episodes. While starting the podcast, Timothy began self-publishing his own poetry works on Lulu and Create Space. You can find them all listed here plus swag and reprints of original artwork. He ran into a few like-minded individuals such as Heather Moon who is a painter, poet, and alchemist. His new group of friends encouraged him to use this new space and his new talents to further his art exploration while working a full-time job.
Once Timothy moved back to Virginia, he began attending a meetup for Podcasters. This led him to discover a better way of podcasting and he embarked on 45 episodes of KDOI Podcasting and then re-branding it to Create Art Podcast. While in this new group, Timothy attended many conferences and spoke at them. He worked on Podwrecked with his good friend Kyle Bondo and they have joined up to further Gagglepod, a network that helps creatives tell their stories through podcasting. To keep Timothy’s artistic juices flowing, he continues to write, paint, produce and podcast with the new podcast through interviews, conversations, commentary, and projects that inspire others who think they do not have what it takes to create art.
