Tom Ray's Art Podcast

Ben Walker-Storey is an Illustrator and a YouTuber who also publishes coloring books and different types of low content books on Amazon. This is the second time I've had Ben on the show. This time I wanted to ask him about a new drawing video series he created called "Let's draw goths". A fun series where he finds old photos of goths in high school and draws pictures of them which he has also turned into one of his coloring books.

One of my favorite music sites is opening again, the Free Music Archive!

I talk with  Hessel van Oorschot from the Netherlands who's company Tribe of Noise bought the site after it was shut down a few years ago. We talk about his plans for the relaunch of this site.

But we also talk about the future of art and music on the internet. How different organizations like Coil and Grant for the Web are trying to find ways to help creators, artists, and musicians build their work outside of an ad-based revenue model.

This conversation isn't just for musicians is a discussion about what the future of art on the web could be and what some of these organizations are trying right now.
