ABCD (Always Be Crazy Drawing)— Warren Craghead III, part two
The Uncomics Craghead-aganza continues in this second talk with Warren Craghead III, where he and host Allan Haverholm expand upon his practice, the amount of talent at comics festivals compared to Art Basel — and the interdisciplinary field of uncomics. Be sure to first listen to our previous episode for the full picture!
Warren Craghead is a featured artist in the Uncomics anthology, out now!
Errata
Derik Badman correctly points out that the movie Smoke was not directed by Jim Jarmusch as Allan claims in this episode. It is in fact directed by Wayne Wang.
