In this episode, I have a very special guest, he’s an artist of extraordinary talent. I met him briefly at San Diego Comic Con a few years ago where he had a pile of his sketch books at his table and I was able to just sort of stand there and flip through actual cracked and worn leather bound volumes of his work, some of it casual, some of it inked, some of it finished, all of it mind-blowingly cool. We have a great conversation about art and about his working habits, how he learned, what he does professionally and even some general stuff about loving the fantasy genre.

In Section Charlie, where I highlight something or someone cool I’ve come across on the internet I was going to highlight a Facebook group – but I literally watched a YouTube video that I am going to shoutout because it was highly informative. To me anyway. And surprising! Now, fair warning, this 10 minute video about color, specifically about primary colors and how everything we’re taught in grade school is a lie, does have a certain amount of f-bombs, which is unfortunate only because I’d love for my nieces and nephews to be able to watch this but my sisters are most definitely NOT going to let them watch it. The YouTuber’s name is Echo Gillette and the name of the video is This is not BLUE (a lesson in color theory). Now, a lot of you out there probably know all the stuff she talks about in the video but I’ll bet there’s a few of you that have no idea. Like, say, how magenta is a color that actually does not exist. And how old style TV screens (the ones built with Red Green and Blue pixels) create Yellow with only Red and Green pixels. I just found the video highly informative, illustrative and engaging to watch. I suddenly have a whole new set of information with which to approach painting and I need all the help I can get! She talks about how the triadic color wheel is a social construct versus the real pigment color wheel of cyan magenta and yellow. Check it out here. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NVhA18_dmg0
