This week I have painting master Sean Chatham on the pod for a chat. He doesn't like being called a "master" but he is. I've been a huge fan of his work since I started painting so I was excited to finally have him on. Super chill and down to earth guy and incredibly humble. We talked about being an art kid and his artistic familial lineage, his love of learning, going to Art Center, teaching oil painting and tons of other stuff. This interview went over 2 hours and we could have kept going for 2 more! An amazing dude and amazing painter!

Also, a quick art life update.

This week I welcome back Steven Russell Black to the pod for a chat. His last appearance was Ep. 99... 6 years ago! When he first came on he still had a day job to help pay the bills- now he is full time! We discuss his transition into a full time art career and how he has learned to navigate it. We also talk a lot about painting techniques and materials. Really great talk and it was great catching up with him!

Also, a quick art life update.

This week we have an AMAZING conversation with creator of the Mr. Unpronounceable comic, Tim Molloy. This is Tim's 3rd and while I wanted to have him on to promote his new Kickstarter project, "Mr. Unpronounceable Omnibus", we ended up have a seriously deep conversation about art making, the occult and mysticism, the scary dangers of AI and tons of other interesting stuff. This one is not to be missed by fans of the woo-woo (like me)!

Also, a quick art life update.
