Steve Argyle is known for his history doing card art for Magic: The Gathering and Legend of the Five Rings. What's especially interesting about his career though is the way he's leveraged that commercial work to create a more entrepreneurial business. Steve is one of the first artists to widely sell playmats and also creates more custom paintings on Magic cards than any artist to date. We're going to be catching up with him about what he's been up to recently and what he's got his eye on for the future.

Donato Giancola is a realist painter with a flare for the imaginative and a reputation for being an absolute master at his craft. We're welcoming him back on the show to talk about what he's been up to recently! Spoilers: More than likely, he's mostly been painting.

They take on many forms from stories and paintings to sculpted taxidermy style mounts. At the heart of all of his efforts and inspiration lies his fantasy world which he explores when he closes his eyes. Brian is in the middle of a Kickstarter to launch an artbook for his world called Revilo. We're going to talk to him about what it's like to do world-building as an artist that primarily creates 3D art and how the campaign is going for him.
