Listen Later

Mike begins 10 YouTube videos in 10 weeks and discusses recent pieces. Artist and fellow Pentel Canada Ambassador Melissa Cormier joins the show to discuss her journey from printmaking to her graphite abstract work inspired by natural textures. They talk about her tools, process, and education. They also talk about travel, movies, and earwigs that can fly. Her homework may have you looking the other way.
