  • How does Big Medium support artists
  • E.A.S.T, W.E.S.T. differences
  • Texas Biennial explanation and history
  • Beginnings in art and school
  • Having a job and making art
  • Sodailtas collaboration
  • Evolution of his art style
  • History of E.A.S.T. and Big Medium
  • Talking about and pricing your art
  • Generous Art/Creative Standard
  • EAST present and future
