Summary

Ash Thorp @ashthorp is a digital artist, illustrator and designer. Among many accolades, he did the visual design of the Batmobile for the 2022 film, "The Batman". But he's more than that. Ash started with nothing and never got a fine art degree, be has used an eclectic mix of technology and creative thought to become a highly successful and respected member of the art community. On the automotive side, Ash has owned over 20 cars, including an AE86, S2000, EF hatch, and a Raptor, among others. On this show we talk about how it all started; how he got the Batmobile job; his car history; what NFTs are really about; his next project car; the worst commute in the world; how you can harness a creative mind; and a whole lot more. We didn't know where this show would lead but we're very happy with the result.
