“Hey, can we try something?” Ugh, yes please!

Leigh Ann Cobb (photographer) shares her story with Aaron McCall as they discuss going from an awkward art kid to an awkward art grown-up, what it takes to keep her sense of self in check, and the relationship between Leigh Ann and the camera, the camera and her subjects, and more importantly, Leigh Ann and her subjects.

Pretty stoked about this one! Marley Soden (letterer, illustrator, muralist) shares her story with Aaron McCall as they discuss breaking off from agency life, her need for control in creativity and in presentation, playing with food, and how she uses TikTok and Instagram as their own mediums.

2K on Instagram might not sound like a lot but it’s a big deal for us. And we thought that maybe now is a good time to reintroduce ourselves and our story.

Okay. From left to right: Amber Gray, Aaron McCall, and Joe Matteson.

Aaron is a freelance graphic designer and independent artist. Dude started the podcast and pays for all the stuff, and also the host/editor/producer, that kind of thing.

For the last 2 seasons, Joe has been the Andy to Aaron’s Conan. Super talented photographer, loving father, and brings all kinds of insights and energy to the pod.

And then there’s Amber. She’s new, but we love her. She knows the world of professional creativity from all angles and can smell the BS from a mile away. A mother, a wife, and a real witchy lady. Plus, with her energy, it’s not just 2 dudes podcasting at each other.

And THANK YOU to Gino's Pizza in Eastown Grand Rapids for hooking us up and letting us crash your space!
