The first episode ever of Blind Shovel, with my good friend Jesse Fillingham. Among many other things we discuss his new role as a father and its impact on his process, as well as the profound inspiration he gets from American science fiction and fantasy writer Gene Wolfe.

Jesse is an LA-based illustrator and fine artist whose work can be found on vinyl jackets, beautiful merch, skateboards, and more.
