After years of chasing the mystical and illusive creature know as the artist Sean Seal, The Weapon is very proud to finally welcome one of the most talented guests to ever grace this podcast. Sean is a fine artist from the Michigan area and as it turns out, is a really nice guy as well. We discuss his life, art, painting, little zen trees, The Rot and Norah, his upcoming masterpiece with writer Kasey Pierce from Source Point Press.

This week I'm joined by an incredible friend and an amazing talent, cartoonist/illustrator Jay P. Fosgitt. Jay is an artist for My Little Pony and his own personal creation Bodie Troll as well as producing the new Gwenpool variant cover for Marvel's Avengers Standoff. Jay is one of my favourite individuals to ever have had the pleasure of talking to and has a heart the size of his insane imagination. Fun times, indeed.
