Summary

Ashley Macomber invited me into her home to talk about her new art project she’s created with Will Oldham (aka Bonnie 'Prince' Billy). Ashley is an amazing artist and she’s got a really clear way of thinking about the creative process and about life in general. It’s always fun to talk to her.

0:00.0	Well, it was one of those days, not much to do, I was chilling downtown, my old school crew, I went into a store,
0:12.2	the bar was by some eats up, I bumped to a girl, and I whacked Mona Lisa, I'm on a Lisa's soul man,
0:18.6	you know what I'm saying, so I say, excuse me, there, I thought she looked nice,
0:23.0	this is Ari Schaffer's skeptic tank for the week of Monday, February 13th, 2012.
0:28.3	You guys tell when I pause after I shift fears before skeptic tank, it seems like obvious,
0:33.6	like I go Ari Schaffer's skeptic tank. It seems too obvious to me, I don't know if it is to you,
0:39.2	it's your fears, F-R-F-I-R-A-P-O-S, and then skeptic tank. Doesn't fucking matter.
0:45.4	Anyway, on today's episode, I talked to renowned Los Angeles artist, Ashley Snowmate Comber,

1:29.7	be, I don't want to look like an idiot, I don't want to look like a moron. So I just stare at the
1:34.2	paintings until people won't think I'm adult, and then I move on to the next one. So we talked
1:38.5	about that, and we talked about art in general, which I really liked, because my discussions with her
1:45.5	about her art, about her painting are probably the most influential discussions I've had about
1:51.6	my own stand-up, like talking to an artist about a different type of art, and I hate saying
