This week I interview monster painter Scott Sherrod about mushrooms, UFOs, Twitch live streaming, stamping numbers on silicon computer chips, and his awesome monster watercolor paintings among other things. This is a super fun conversation that went in many directions (just the way I like it!).

Also a quick art life update and new subscribers.

Interview starts at 5:36

This week I interview multidisciplinary artist Scum Choir (AKA Parker Winans). We discuss him being a childhood troublemaker, loving skateboard art as a kid in the 90s, how a mystery illness helped him turn his life around and focus on his artworks, how he came up with the name Scum Choir, his videos that went viral, the importance of navigating and contributing to social media and a bunch more stuff! Another really fun conversation  with a really cool dark artist!

Also, a quick life update.

This week my good friend and amazing artist Ryan K. Peterson discuss the history of makeup effects! Special thanks goes out to  @scumchoir  for the suggestion. We chat about how we became interested in makeup effects as kids and then discuss our nerdy knowledge of makeup effects starting from the early days of horror film makeup of Lon Chaney in the 1920's, Jack Pierce (and others) in the 1930's, the advent of foam latex appliances, and the many innovations of the godfather of modern makeup effects, Dick Smith up through the 1970's and more. This is part 1 of two episodes on the history of makeup effects! Part 2 will be next week!

Also, a quick life update.
