Jason Markow uses text to create anything and everything, and has a kickstarter for NOTHING. (That's clever, just listen to the episode) Jason and Kevin talk about his journey as an artist in the digital age, how he continues to create with a chronic illness, and vaguely dip a toe into his newest creation, NOTHING. =  BACK NOTHING, NOW! - http://noreallyitsnothing.com  

Jason "TekstArtist" Markow // Artist

We COULD tell you our guest is a prolific director, or actor, or writer, or time traveling teen. And we will. Because he is. But at his core, Alex Winter is an entertainment tornado, spinning up docs like "The Panama Papers" and "Zappa", all while making time to make a new Bill and Ted movie, mastering meditation, and being a kickass dad. How does he do it? Just take a listen. Support us! - http://patreon.com/pointlesspod Chat with us! - http://pointless.pizza
