In this very delayed episode, Archer Ezra Rosenbloom and I are highlighting and digging a little further into some of the key takeaways from the conversations of episodes 6-9. (The episode was supposed to go up on August 5th but was delayed. Partly due to life but also due to Griffin discovering half the of the conversation was lost at a time that re-recording seemed too difficult to coordinate due to both co-hosts being heavily occupied... but the missing half was eventually tracked down and here we are.)

She was a company member of Honest Accomplice Theatre performing and devising shows about the queer experience. Most recently you may have seen her crying in public.

This episode I'm unpacking professional commission art by examining the ven diagram between my experience and the experience of Tattoo Artist Cat Labelle. We delve into the various roles we have to navigate, struggles and processes, and how weird it is to negotiate with yourself. Cat entered the scene in Acushnet, Massachusetts (don’t worry, no one else has heard of it either) and has been drawing since before she was born. In 2014, she graduated cum laude from Lesley University College of Art and Design (previously the Art Institute of Boston) with a BFA in illustration, a lot of student debt, anxiety, and a dream. She got her professional tattoo license in 2017 and has been putting art on people ever since. Currently she works at F.I.N.A.O. Ink Tattoo in Providence, RI. She highly suggests that you email or text her to book an appointment.
