One of the things that I've always enjoyed is talking about art with our other artists.  On today's Success Stories podcast, we'll wade forehead deep into some tasty art ways with my friend Jon Anderson with XLNT 3D Art.

It's gonna be a great show as we'll discuss design, inspiration, and more than likely some artificial intelligence stuff too!
