June 9, 2021 at 3:54 pmI’m really happy to have found this podcast, it’s super relevant to my current interests, haha. It’s refreshing to hear your thoughts on “vintage” (calling 80’s-90’s stuff vintage pains me a little, lol) paleoart while still appreciating the artistic qualities of it. I also love that you all embrace varying art styles for paleoart beyond just photorealism (which is still very nice and important). Anyway, I’ll be binging all the episodes over the next couple days, keep up the great work! Would love to see this on Spotify eventually, too!
