What a cool privilege it is to get to talk with one of your heroes.

I recently got to spend some time chatting with Adam Duff from LucidPixul. On top of being a hugely skillful and accomplished artist and teacher, Adam has an uncanny ability to guide artists through the emotional rollercoaster that art careers can entail.

In our conversation we swap art career war stories, explore solutions to challenges that all artists face and (most importantly) talk at great length about Bee Girl from Blind Melon's "No Rain".

Two pro artists/teachers, two careers and one moody face painting taking shape in the background. Enjoy!
