Keep Learning, Don't Let Your Mind Become Calcified Poop!
In this Inspirational BadAss podcast with Matthew Naftzger, I share with you a rebellious story of a man who absolutely lives his passion. Artwork feeds his soul and drives his existence.
Matthew grew up being told he couldn't and wouldn't amount to anything. He set out to defy that.
He grew up in the middle of nowhere. The nearest service took an almost two hour drive. To create some sense of organized structure in his life, Matthew joined the Marines. From day one, he counted the days until he got out. He also embarked on college, yet found his calling in art. Matthew is one of the most incredibly talented and sought after artists of our time.

I'll do anything to keep making artwork.
Creativity and exploration comes first.
