Going Mental in Hollywood: five concept artists tell their stories

1h 8m · Look, Just Tell Me What To Do. · 07 Jan 20:38

We interview five amazing concept artists who work the Hollywood trenches and have lived to tell how the sausage is actually made. We discuss the insanity that permeates their industry and how they each thrive as independent, expressive artists while managing to make a living doing what they love. We also discuss the recent introduction of AI into the creative space and how it may affect the livelihoods of artists such as these as well as affect those trying to break into the industry.
