Welcome aboard everybody. It is another episode. It'll let the be talk. It is Monday, June 22nd. Thank you for joining me.

Each and every Monday, I much appreciate it, my friends.

And great guest today. It's a handmade version of let the be talk.

Tons of you out there constantly email me and say, I love the handmade episodes the most.

And that makes me very happy because so do I. I absolutely love talking to people that are out in the world

doing what they love to do. And my guest today, Dave Pollett, is an artist, a painter.

I discovered him. I didn't discover him, but I was turned on to him from Instagram, which is an amazing thing for people out there that are in the handmade world.

Of course, most of my handmade episodes were people that I discovered on Instagram.

And a lot of them have said that their careers completely changed from showing their work on Instagram, which is just very, very powerful.

Anyway, my guest today, basically, he was in the computer field world working computer stuff, happy digging it, but had an art side, loved to paint.

And to hear his story, you are, you are going to love it. He basically what he does is he paints on doing already existing painting.

And I'm not going to give any more away because I want you to listen to the episode. But why you are listening to the episode, maybe venture onto his Instagram.

And you can hear what we're talking about as we're doing the episode, which makes it kind of fun. His Instagram is DAVE PEO LLOT A-R-T.

Dave Pollett, art. And lose your mind on that stuff. It is just fantastic. I mean, for me.

Art is such a crazy thing. Everybody has their thing. Like when I posted up Dave on my Instagram saying he was going to be on all kinds of people were hitting me with, oh man, check this guy out. You'll lose your mind. Or this guy is going to knock you out.

And that's how art is, either it knocks you out or you don't get it. But everybody loves some kind of art. I know that for sure. I've seen it at all the major museums I've been to in my life. I've seen it at tons of art openings.

And I love it. Art takes you somewhere else for a few minutes. It's really amazing. You could be walking through some kind of room. You see something hanging up on the wall, a painting, something.

I remember I went to a meeting once and the guy had two new old stock dog town skateboards unused mounted on his wall. And I don't think I heard anything that I was talking about at the meeting because I just kept looking at the art and going back in time to those 70s, late 70s early 80s skateboard graphics.

All that stuff rock and roll t shirts are art car paint jobs custom car paint jobs are art choppers are art. A lot of a lot of stuff has really inspired me a lot of art.

Anyway, not babbling about that. I did a zoom hang out with my Patreoners. And if you are a Patreon supporter of what to be taught patreon.com slash Dean Del Rey, you can join us. I've decided to do this on.
