On #MLK eve Dovecote Café hosted their inaugural #ArtistsShouldntStarve Series. Jonathan Brickous and I got to talk about our practice and hear back from the community. We talked about support for art / artists and it was seriously one of the most genuine conversations I have had about art in quite a while.
