Listen closely as Jason doles out a master class in color, composition, and the accumulation of cash. Every episode with Jason is always filled with chicken nuggets on carving out your own niche in the creative profession so take notes, listen closely, and learn from our favorite friend from the Great White North.

    TEAM FLYING SPAGHETTI MONSTER

With Visceral still in the works and a solo show on the horizon, Jason came onto to AID to once again impart his endless wisdom and business cunning with Mark at his side. If you missed AID 446 then it's time you rectified that.

Brian Flynn lets us into both of his worlds. Yeah! thats right. Brian Flynn has Hybrid Design and Super 7 that make him a veritable powerhouse in terms of things you wish you were doing. Sit down, listen, and learn from a true master.

You got some wisdom on saying "No" from the North with Jason... but don't miss some Redneck Wisdom on saying "No" from the south with Jeral Tidwell as he and Mark go over the financial freedoms of artistry and what it takes to say No.
