Nate Van Dyke talks to us about getting started as a pro artist, El Coro, doing commissions, "Fuck you" prices, Jon Wayshak, not going to art school, and social media. We get deep into the assault he was a victim of in December. We talk about animals in his art, what Nate had to do with Josh and MJ's first date, his work for Jay-Z & PBR, and getting credit, Jeremy Fish and meeting your art heroes who turn out to be cool. We discuss the SF artist community and end with Nate giving some words to the wise.
