We spoke about their daily drawing and meditation practice, Animal Crossing, working without a plan, the allure of cowboys, making work that is both political and personal, Robert Colescott vs Peter Saul, caterpillar as spirit animal, the pleasures of slowing down, and copying other artists as a way of learning.
