BUT WAIT there’s more! We have our first ever returning guest — Kalaija Maller!!!

We’re talkin’ Nathaniel's latest show of large scale paintings Like a Pile of Mud on view at the Bunker in Silico, Young Dolph, white trash aesthetics, trading punk for plein aire painting, fire, mark making, erasure, band names, the residency conundrum, how one man’s painting practice is another’s anxiety nightmare, the Madonna and Child, oil markers, the best ways to honestly represent complicated and conflicting emotions, figuration, dollar-store machetes, smoking and the absence of smoking, basements, and of course – a little band called KORN. Let me tell you, this episode… butt-rocks.
