For this very special episode 200(!!!)I interview legendary Dark Art pioneer (and co founder/drummer of the indie punk band The Replacements), Chris Mars! This was the ultimate guest I wanted to have for episode 200 and thanks to Chris and his amazing wife Sally for coordinating it, we were able to make it happen! We discuss his previous life as a musician, leaving that career for a life as a painter, Learning how to paint, working in a prop shop, our mutual love of dark art and "monsters", the monsters as a symbol of the outsider, how he makes his short art films and animations, being a "monster kid" of the 60's and tons more! This is one of the more conversational interviews we have had on here and honestly, it exceeded my high expectations!!! Happy episode 200!!!
Also a quick art life update, new subscribers and the synesthesia word of the week.
Interview starts at around 7:45
