We waste no time talking (light) trash about the Academy of Art before we delve into John Wentz’s beginnings, shedding the art-school mentality, the art inherent in all disciplines, and the impact of social media on professional artists. We get into why he paints “unfinished” portraits and cave paintings. We discuss one of his paintings which leads to a discussion about empathy and process vs. outcome. We go into a tangent about beliefs and Sam Harris, and answer a couple of questions at the end.
