Thomas Fluharty is an internationally acclaimed artist and illustrator. His work has been featured on the covers of Der Spiegel, Newsweek and Mad Magazine and his art is highly sought after by private collectors worldwide. You may remember Thomas from earlier episodes of The Creative Endeavour. I just had to get him back on the podcast, not only to hear what he's been up to over the last year, but to discuss an incredibly interesting book that ought to be on your radar: "The Billion Dollar Painter" by Eric Kuskey. This book focused on the life of Thomas Kincade and as Fluharty puts it: "it's a story from rags to riches to ruin." We reflect on the incredible life and career trajectory of this often misunderstood artist and some of the lessons therein. This was a super inspiring chat, not to be missed!
