THE ARTISH PLUNGE PODCAST

Exploring The Curious Relationship Between Artists And The Other Jobs, Professions Or Experiences That Have Allowed Them To Plunge Into The Art They Create

The ARTish Plunge™ podcast explores the curious relationship between Artists and the other professions, day jobs, or past experiences that have allowed them to plunge into the art they create.
