I'll tell you about what the 80's were like, even though my personal 80s experience was spend being a baby. I wanted to do this bonus episode to meet a recent online trend with creativity instead of instant gratification. While I would never bore a young artist with my thoughts generative AI safety on this show, I did share some thoughts on the website for the adults.

Or, try ants carrying snacks away from a picnic. If you did like this, try the first ever episode: the self portrait (heads up for artists who love routine, the music is different on this one!) or if you like more big hair and 80's style, we also have a Dolly Parton episode.
