Today we discuss the future of painting, and specifically the chances of the field’s survival in light of the upcoming AI apocalypse. We managed to sketch out a few early signs for hope. Can painting continue guarding the fortress against the robot barbarians at the gate? Stay tuned…

Today’s episode touches on one of the most pressing topics in today’s art discourse: the rise of image-generating artificial intelligence. AI burst onto the scene like a hurricane, and today’s guest is right in the eye of the storm, he is the one and only, Greg Rutkowski. Greg is a towering figure in the world of illustration and concept art. He’s done work for the most influential trendsetters in the field, including Disney, Ubisoft, Netflix, Warner Bros, and my personal favorite, Wizards of the Coast. This conversation tells the story of how a fantasy illustrator suddenly found himself in an epic battle against robots for the soul of humanity. Who will prevail, and what does it mean for the rest of us? Stay tuned.

Will St. John is one of my favorite living painters. This is the point at which I list selected biographical information that I find on the guest’s “About” page, but Will doesn’t have an "About" page. He doesn’t even have a website as far as I’ve been able to discern. I reached out to Will to ask him how he’d like to be introduced, and he provided me with the finest bio of all time: “Will St. John is a badass artist. Women desire him; strong men want to be him. The world’s elite cultural institutions pursue him, but he eludes their advances: he’s too busy being spectacular.”

This is my favorite episode to date! I speak with Alex Castilla, an incredibly accomplished experimental physicist, a student of painting, and one of my Patreon supporters. This episode is a mentorship session I had with Alex: he asked me brilliantly incisive questions about painting and I did my best to cover them in the most in-depth way possible. Alex requested that we make this mentorship session public so that everyone may benefit from it, so you should be thankful to him for the release of this episode.

If you’re a student of the craft, you’re going to love this one. I don’t have a guest, or rather I don’t have a single guest, instead I have a panel of my Patreon supporters asking me their most pressing questions about painting and drawing, and I provide the most thorough answers I can, including my maximally nerdy analysis.
