We had a great time talking to Denver artist Thomas "Detour" Evans, an all-around creative specializing in large scale public art, interactive visuals, portraiture, immersive spaces, and creative directing. He told us a lot about how art can make an impact in local communities, because to him art is a tool for documenting history and showcasing truth. Evans also shared how his new book reveals insider advice about the soft skills you'll need to make it as a working artist. Lastly, you'll hear a pretty convincing story about why you really need to read your e-mails.
