Great Podcast keep it rolling

A really interesting insite into the world of the creative.

Love hearing the voices behind the images and gaining at background behind the artists and the developing styles, techniques.

Tom does a great job in sharing his own experiences and talking with other artists and getting them to share there own.

It’s hard to sit on your bum and not start creating when having this kind of content
