In this episode I am joined by visual artist Dan Huston. During this episode Dan and I had an incredible conversation around his highly disciplined and prolific drawing practice. We talked about his origins with art and why drawing seems to speak to him so inimitably compared to any other medium. We discuss our shared interests in the magic of the natural world along with the mirroring of forms in both the micro and macro cosmic scales. We also touch upon his playful and organic approach to his work, and the motivations that drive his commitment to his art practice.
