This Episode the boys sat down with Boise artist and video game developer Rayshell Glenn.

This episode came out with some really loud high's, mostly while we were laughing, and there was a lot of laughing in this episode.

We chat about her personal art, along with the video game industry, the use of digital art programs, and Chopsy complaining about AI like an old man.

This episode we sat down with The Spooky Dinosaur to have a very fun and relaxed chat about his art!

We learned a lot about his ten year history in art, his use of watercolors, and we learned a ton about Dinosaurs, Mythology, the proper way to say "Krampus" and human dialect.

We also talked a lot about the logistics of putting on events and art shows. Catch The Spooky Dinosaur at the 32 Cells art show this weekend, BCAF and more.

This Week I sat down With Eli Holland AKA Eli The Cartoon. We had a fun little art chat about Eli's comics and pretty much anything that came to mind. It's unstructured and a little unhinged, but its a good start, and will only get better from here.

Eli's website is now live, so go read his comics at http://elithecartoon.com and find him on instagram at @elithecartoon.

    Medal of Honor: Stories of Courage

    Rewarded for bravery that goes above and beyond the call of duty, the Medal of Honor is the United States’ top military decoration. The stories we tell are about the heroes who have distinguished themselves by acts of heroism and courage that have saved lives. From Judith Resnik, the second woman in space, to Daniel Daly, one of only 19 people to have received the Medal of Honor twice, these are stories about those who have done the improbable and unexpected, who have sacrificed something in the name of something much bigger than themselves. Every Wednesday on Medal of Honor, uncover what their experiences tell us about the nature of sacrifice, why people put their lives in danger for others, and what happens after you’ve become a hero. Special thanks to series creator Dan McGinn, to the Congressional Medal of Honor Society and Adam Plumpton. Medal of Honor begins on May 28.
