Sam Weber's sidebar interview. I've already mentioned Sidebar a number of times...for good reason. It's a treasure of information through interviews with great artists talking about their work and creative journeys.

Definitely check their other interviews with guys such as Brad Holland and Sterling Hundley

Listen.
