For the second part of my conversation with Tim Cross, We dig deeper into a whole slew of topics concerning art-making, the percieved value of novelty, remaining open and curious  in one's practice and whether winning the lottery would turn us into insufferable art snobs. Dig in and enjoy.

Episode 10 has me sitting down in the Seattle studio of artist Tim Cross for a fun, rambling and at times delightfully contentious conversation about absolutely everything. I'm not kidding, we talked about every single thing, seriously, I had to make it a two-parter just to fit it all in. I also apparently have lost the ability to count to ten, as I refer to it as episode nine about a hundred times. Pay no attention to the idiot with the microphone.

Episode 9 has me sitting down with Julia Greenway of Interstitial (formerly Interstitial Theater) in their brand new digs in Georgetown, Seattle to discuss new media, video art, homemade pizza, and how we both apparently value fresh seafood over human lives. Julia was a complete blast to hang out with and her energy and passion are infectious and inspiring. Check out interstitial at http://www.interstitialtheatre.com

Trenton Flock is a writer, poet and co-founder of Vanguard Seattle, an online arts, fashion and culture magazine based, you guessed it, in Seattle. Vanguard is a lot like Trenton himself: insightful, informitive and passionate about a broad range of things. We met at his place on New Years day and despite courting the obvious possibility of a dual hangover snooze-athon had a wonderfully candid conversation about a whole bunch of stuff, but mostly art.
