He Speaketh

While at GenCon recently, the good guys at Ninja Mountain Scrolls blasted through the art show interviewing a bunch of us. For those unfamiliar, NMS is a podcast that focuses on the SF/fantasy illustration industry. If you're into this kind of art, or are an aspiring illustrator, you definitely need to be checking out the often lengthy interviews done on a regular basis there. Lots of good advice and behind-the-scenes stuff. I wish podcasts like this (or podcasts, at all) existed 15 years ago when I was starting out, that's for sure. I also wish 2009 me could go back to 1994 me and set me straight! This episode was more rapid-fire, and there's even an interview with yours truly. And I wasn't horrible! As a native Californian, I have to be intentional about removing the word "like" from my spoken vocabulary. I managed this feat admirably.

L: For context, hear the interview

My interview starts at about 54:00 in. You can listen to the rest if you want, but it's full of absolutely terrible artists like Steve Prescott, Wayne Reynolds, Omar Rayyan...you know, complete amateurs....
