Los Angeles based painter Matt McCormick's first creative career as a tattoo artist saw him inking rappers like Mac Miller and Tyler, the Creator. After living on the road touring with the latter, he transitioned into fine art, exploring themes tied to the American West, Hollywood glamor, and other moments of nostalgia, depicting a desire for less cluttered horizons and more risk takers to look up to.

In this episode, the prolific artist talks about breaking rules in both tattooing and fine art, the evolution of masculine stereotypes, and what the soundtrack to his day sounds like.
