In this episode, multi-media artist, Mandolyn Wilson Rosen, and I debate whether Procrastination is a good or a bad thing in the studio. We also cluck our tongues at famous procrastinating artists and writers throughout history. This was a recording from a live Clubhouse event...so apologies for the tinny phone sound.  

Please see more of Mandy's amazing number collages and drawings at her website: mandolynwilsonrosen.com  

Thank you to listener and artist, Natalie Beall, for suggesting this topic, and to artists Niki Kriese and Adie Russell for joining the conversation towards the end. We loved your tips!
