Ep. 29 - James Zapata - a podcast by Ash Thorp

Our guest this week is the talented concept artist, James Zapata.  James is a self-taught illustrator and concept artist, who has produced projects for Applibot and Wizards of the Coast.

Every artist has their own path and struggles, and James discusses his personal choices and decisions that helped guide him along his career path.  James is a great example of how to push through and learn from both sides of the creative spectrum.  We also discuss his future goals and endeavors a bit, as there are many more triumphs ahead for James.

Thank you James for coming on and sharing your time and thoughts with us.
