This week, visionary artist Skinner stops by to talk building monster-filled universes across album covers, games, murals and beyond, launching Art Show With Captain Skinner, and why staying wildly creative might be the best way to survive an increasingly unhinged world.
This week we’re joined by visionary artist Skinner!!! The mind behind neon-drenched monsters, cosmic chaos, and some of the most visually stunning artwork in modern horror and heavy metal culture. From album art for Mastodon to Magic: The Gathering, tabletop games, toys, murals, and beyond, Skinner has built an entire universe fueled by imagination, nightmares and obsession.
We dive into his new YouTube series Art Show With Captain Skinner, the evolution of his creative philosophy, and how he balances instinct, technique, ego, burnout, and survival in our modern societal hellscape. It’s a conversation about monsters, mushrooms, interdimensional beings and why creativity might be the only sane response to an increasingly insane world.
We also talk a good deal about our cats…
If you like horror, art, psychedelic fantasy, practical effects, comics, puppets or artists who refuse to play it safe then this one’s for you sooo…
COME HANG OUT!!!
