"My kid could do that!"

A podcast heavy on the art. 
We discuss art, being artists, and chat about what inspires us. We used to have regular chats about this stuff privately, but figured you might like to listen in. Whether you create art or enjoy consuming it, you'll probably find something of interest, and (hopefully) learn something.
