Craft Hangout

Well, we FINALLY got to hang with the acclaimed and award-winning photographer, Sophie Gamand! You probably know her from her gorgeous photos of dogs. Whether it's from the unbelievably gorgeous (and viral!) Wet Dog series, or the breathtaking pieces of pit bulls wearing flower crowns from the famous Pit Bull Flower Power collection, Sophie has been making a difference in the lives of both dogs and humans through her photography. How does she do it? Her passion, talent, and empathy lead the way, but she shares all of the details about her unbelievable journey in this episode... and it's SO good! You can (and should!) check out Sophie's amazing work online: Website: http://www.sophiegamand.com Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/sophiegamand Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/sophiegamand/ Shop her merch: http://www.sophiegamand.com ------------------------------------------------------------ For more info on Biting Back's art show for animal charity: https://www.bitingbacknyc.com/ https://www.instag

We got the legendary comic book artist, Peter Bagge, to hang out on our show!! If you listened to the episode with Kevin Sussman and Ron Hill, then you heard the story about how Peter Bagge came to the shop for his "HateBall Tour" in 1993 for a signing, and Eliza missed it because she had to go to her cousin's Bar Mitzvah... and she still seemed upset about missing it! Well, time has a funny way of working things out because after 2 decades, her favorite comic book artist agreed to guest on the show, and she and the Craft Hangout gang were able to ask him tons of questions! Peter generously shared his creative journey, the insider scoop about comic book art & storytelling, hand lettering inspiration, strategy on pivoting through changing times & technology, more about his famous comic book Hate, and details about his newly released book, Credo: The Rose Wilder Lane Story.
