The Dark Art Society Podcast with Chet Zar

This week I interview the one and only Alex Pardee! I've known Alex for over 20 years now but have never gotten to delve into his background and life story. We talk about his earl life and how he got into art as a profession, his childhood struggle with anxiety, art as a healing process, creating his first comics, how he started his classic "Bunnywith" comic, being the art director for the band The Used, his artmaking process, our mutual love of the H3 podcast, his love of horror films and tons more! Alex is not only a great artist but a great human being and a positive force in the world! Also, a quick art life update.

Dave Cooper- Ep. 287

This week I interview the legendary artist, Dave Cooper! Dave was a big influence on me early on in my oil painting career and his work is truly visionary. We discuss his epic career as an underground comics luminary, animated television series creator and highly successful gallery fine artist. Dave is a really nice dude, and the conversation went in many different directions, just the way I like it!
