#76 “Pretentious Blunt”

Josh and Sergio answer your questions! No matter how silly or deep, they treat them with the appropriate amount of respect… or mockery! They first talk about emotions that don’t have words, working for exposure, learning digital painting and more. They ask the listeners which artists they hate, then they get asked what non-visual artists inspire them, why they don’t like acrylic, turning in art they don’t like to galleries, where to buy followers, who would win in a famous artist battle royale, give advice about staying inspired, and realize whoever owns a time machine is racist! They discuss doing sculpture, impostor syndrome, and a whole lot more! Subscribe to our Youtube channel please! https://www.youtube.com/waitingtodrypodcast

Josh currently has work up at Abend Gallery, Sergio at Modern Eden, and they both have a painting at WonderlandSF up until the end of June 2019.
