This week Nathan and Eric sit down with mixed media artist Rob Grad. His unique method of layering transparent acrylic with paint and photography can currently be seen at REN Gallery in Downtown LA, and will be featured at Fabrik Projects in Culver City from January 5th - February 16th. Rob is also a musician who was a member of 90's rock bands 'Kik Tracee' and 'Superfine'. We chat with Rob about his time as a rock musician, his life changing trip to Madrid, getting into visual art, myspace, jumping rope, siestas, and the electricity goes out!
