Showing Off, Saying No, and Marshall Gets a Prank Call

Marshall and Stan field voicemail questions about balancing time an artist should devote to input and output, what kind of message they want to convey with their art, how much showing off is too much, and whether an artist should take a pay cut to create artwork for friends.

If you have a question call and leave a voicemail at 1-858-609-9453. If you’re not located in the U.S. you can record an audio message and send it to us at [email protected].
