Not just for Dark Artists and Dark Art Collectors

If you’re a creator or appreciate the creative process, you’ll enjoy this podcast. Chet’s laid back style and the interesting collection of artists who appear on the show will entertain and educate. Try it out.

Malaclypse_the_Younger ,

Still Great Content!

Chet Zar continues to delivery great content with fascinating guest artists, despite the loss of co-host Mike Correll (episodes #1-89). Zar’s laid back style and reliable weekly content always leave me with deep thoughts, and carries me through my creative work seamlessly! If you miss Correll check out his podcast “The New Archaic Revival”, also on iTunes.

BridgetMoonGoddess ,

Game changer

Listen. And then get to work.
