The Cool Person I Could Be (Ep 260 - Pokemon/Cody Shipman)
🕑 Added 2019-11-14 14:00:03 +0000 UTCMy guest this week is my friend Cody Shipman, a graphic designer and artist here in Seattle whose work illustrates better than any I’ve ever seen why the Pacific Northwest feels like cozy home. Cody’s most famous piece depicts a bear and a lumberjack sitting down for tea together, and his other art features men cuddling in onesies, relaxing in steam rooms, and flirting in singlets. Cody’s also created artwork for my other podcast, Queens of Adventure, which features drag queens playing Dungeons & Dragons. For a long time he felt hesitant about blending his gay interests and his nerdy interests together. But it was when he finally brought them both together he found inspiration for some of his most rewarding work to date.
