New “Drawing Funny” Podcast Episode- ‘Til Death Do Us Art
Hey, gang-
I did another Drawing Funny interview with my live-in tech support person- my wife, Nicki Workman.
For Episode 20- “‘Til Death Do Us Art” we talked about what it’s like to live with an artist like me- the pros and cons, and being a spouse of a pro at cons. During our conversation she shared some of her experiences of dealing with me and other artists/creators, her thoughts on making a marriage/partnership work (so far so good for us!), convention memories, her photography endeavors, going back to school, as well as dropping some useful business knowledge for artists and those who live and/or work with one.

Hey, gang-
I’ve been recording, editing, and uploading more episodes of “Drawing Funny“. Episode 16 will be going up this week- if I can keep from freezing to death! Thankfully the Batcave is actually quite toasty and comfortable.
I’ve been talking with a few of the friends I’ve made over the years through the Comic Geek Speak Podcast.

Dale’s At It Again!
MSCA member and Zine publisher Dale Martin and his art can be seen around town this month- virtually.
Dale has two paintings included in the new “Nasty Women Memphis : War Paint!” exhibit. Spring D. Lamb has also contributed artwork to this exhibit and says her work is the positive aspect of racial equality. This third “Nasty Women” exhibit, moved to a virtual event due to COVID-19, features over 60 artists at www.nastywomenmemphis.com in a virtual art exhibition & sale benefiting Planned Parenthood of Tennessee and North Mississippi. The show runs from October 1 until after the presidential election, closing on Friday, November 6, 2020. It serves to demonstrate solidarity among artists who identify with being a “Nasty Woman” in the face of threats to roll back women’s rights, individual rights, and reproductive rights.
