Art Talk - Episode 1 // Anthony Tessitore
In this first episode of a new podcast (!!), Wes sits down with the co-creator and co-founder of Guildhouse Games LLC and Varia, Anthony Tessitore!
Wes and Ant discuss what's been on their mind regarding commercial art and illustration, their histories with Magic: The Gathering, talk war-stories of developing art and cards for Varia, and most importantly of all, the crazy schedule of being old dads in a creative career. Also, we cut to the core of something that has been on MANY artists' minds lately: AI art, and the fear it brings for working creatives, both established and new.
Grab some snacks, it's a 2 hour titan of a premiere!
