Interview with Artist and Illustrator Joe Granski
From strippers and porn stars to protesters, cosplayers, and super heroes in the making, Joe Granski’s work gives a peek into sub-cultures outside of the mainstream.
Joe Granski is a painter and illustrator who is local to the DC area. His portraits explores the way people use images to present themselves and how those images are, in turn received by others. He has recently displayed his work at DC’s Artomatic.
Dennis, Matt, and I have known Joe for many years and now, he sits with the crew of Unified Pop Theory, Red Bull in hand, ruminating about the creative paths he has taken and what calls “artistic causality”. We found him to be a walking contradiction. Congenial with a bit of arrogance. Opinionated and at the same, a creative recluse. Listen to the interview…

Gaming with Matt – Mechwarrior Online
Welcome to Gaming with Matt. This is a webseries I’ll be trying out as I record gaming sessions with my friends so you can share in my experiences as I play online. I have a variety of games I play and I’m fortunate enough to get into a fair amount of betas. The only problem is that quite often a non-disclosure agreement (NDA) stops me from being able to talk about them. So I’m stuck playing these games wanting to tell everyone what I’m experiencing but unable to until the NDA lifts. That doesn’t stop my enthusiasm though.
Mechwarrior Online has recently lifted their NDA and so now I’m free to post videos and discuss the game with those people who are eager to know more or are just curious about my gaming habits…
