Shawn Crystal joins me to talk about his creative life as a comic book artist and illustrator, long-time podcaster with INKPULP, burgeoning path as tattoo artist. We dive into the mental side of the career, and Shawn generously shares his efforts to develop multiple revenue streams to grow his creativity.

Since there’s been a nine-month gap since the original recording, and Shawn is in the middle of his first INKPULP Kickstarter campaign with his craft book, CYAN, it was the perfect time to reconnect and hear an update on how his plans have gone. Make sure to check out the campaign. https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/inkpulp/inkpulp-cyan

Past guest, Andrew Robinson (episode 159) and his family lost their home in the Eaton fire that devastated Altadena, CA. While he and his family are safe, Andrew lost his studio and artwork in the blaze. So they started a GoFundMe to help them get back on their feet.

If you can help please do.
