[@MischiefMemoirs]

Beautiful art in this video

[@haydengoodman9525]

I just watched the Todd Mcfarlane one, and now here.. I really like the way these interviews are conducted. it gives the subject an opportunity to express every vulnerable human thought behind what made them successful and strips that enigmatic glass ceiling off that makes what they do feel like it's too hard if you haven't got some extraordinary gift, but also comes across way more interesting when you can relate to the human side of it. Suddenly their thought patterns sync with yours, and it allows you to be more passionate about the craft and ladder into it. And the interviewer has a modest presence that sets them up to unpack all these ideas and takes very reciprocal dot-points. subbed bruh

[@FlukeWayne]

Really love the vibes of this series

[@paulavory1837]

Great film once again. Really loving getting under the skin of artists

Quite a few artists around his age from Ohio: Brian K. Vaughan, Brian Michael Bendis, and Ed Brubaker off the top of my mind.

His stuff is becoming more expensive as the years go on, not to mention how limited it is

[@rozzy3528]

The Modern Investor you can't mass produce art

[@micharel937]

Erika This is a 2 year old comment. But you can’t say you want your art to be accessible for everyone and make things limited and expensive. They just released a crystal gameboy for $1000. Honestly that just feels really uncreative.

Who pays him for this stuff? i.e. how does he make money at it, to sustain a lab/crew? I wish these would go into the money aspect. Because many people I'm sure have no clue how these types make their $$$

[@canvvas4913]

funding and sponsors they get payed a somewhat commission for certain pieces.

Isn't the art around Woodkid from this dude, or inspired by his?...

That’s not true is not the only artist doing a collaboration with adidas the other artist is Jeremy Scott
