New Yorker cartoonist, musician and birder, Tommy Siegel joins us on the podcast this week.
Tommy talks about his love of cartoons when he was young, how he recently got back into it (a cartoon a day for 500 days) and his amazing bird studies, Extremely Accurate Birds. You'll never think of bird watching in the same way again!
He also talks about his Candy Hearts books. These books gather his cartoons about romance, love and relationships as expressed on those tasty chalk based candy hearts.
Tommy is also a member of the popular band, Jukebox The Ghost and he talks about the time they were on Late Night With David Letterman when Dave had a then celebrity reality TV show host on.
He will also have the podcast version of Very Accurate Birds coming out in the near future, so look for it in the next few weeks.
