Will St. John is one of my favorite living painters. This is the point at which I list selected biographical information that I find on the guest’s “About” page, but Will doesn’t have an "About" page. He doesn’t even have a website as far as I’ve been able to discern. I reached out to Will to ask him how he’d like to be introduced, and he provided me with the finest bio of all time: “Will St. John is a badass artist. Women desire him; strong men want to be him. The world’s elite cultural institutions pursue him, but he eludes their advances: he’s too busy being spectacular.”

This is my favorite episode to date! I speak with Alex Castilla, an incredibly accomplished experimental physicist, a student of painting, and one of my Patreon supporters. This episode is a mentorship session I had with Alex: he asked me brilliantly incisive questions about painting and I did my best to cover them in the most in-depth way possible. Alex requested that we make this mentorship session public so that everyone may benefit from it, so you should be thankful to him for the release of this episode.

If you’re a student of the craft, you’re going to love this one. I don’t have a guest, or rather I don’t have a single guest, instead I have a panel of my Patreon supporters asking me their most pressing questions about painting and drawing, and I provide the most thorough answers I can, including my maximally nerdy analysis.
