Sugar That Rocks- Ep. 276
This week I interview Elisa and Scott Baxa, the creators of Sugar That Rocks, a small business they created that makes amazing cookies with dark art and metal band art on them! I was so impressed with a set of cookies they sent me (pictured on the promo card) that I asked them to be on the show! We talk about their collaborative work on this project, the origin of the business, Elisa's techniques to make these amazing cookies, Scott's beautiful packaging, working with bands and much more! This is something different this week and I really enjoyed chatting with them both about Sugar That Rocks!
Also: A quick art update and here is a link to my walk through of the Giger tribute show: https://www.instagram.com/p/CprLO-PKCnj/

Customer Reviews
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.
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 “Emails from Infinity”, also on iTunes.
Game changer
Listen. And then get to work.
