You may know that I use Shopify for my web presence. Well, Adam does as well, and he's been doing it longer than me. I had some people ask me about my thoughts about certain aspects of the e-commerce platform, but since I don't know nearly as much as I should, I decided to bring Adam in to talk about it.LinksThe Poster List websiteThe Poster List on InstagramDave's ArtDave on Instagram and YouTube

Although there are many artists who would publicly say they don't care about not having gallery representation, and prefer the independence of going it on their own, several (if not all) of those artists would privately be ecstatic if they could get into a gallery. I am one of those.Amy Stock, the founder/curator of Kennedy Grace Gallery in Long Beach would like to convert all artists over to this way of thinking, but with a new perspective on how galleries can work, and where they can be shown.Join us in our conversation regarding the importance and future of galleries within the progressive world of art sales in the 21st Century.Links:Kennedy Grace GalleryKennedy Grace on InstagramTour LBC - IOS / Google Play

This conversation with Adam is a good one. I finally get a chance to revisit my experience with Tik Tok. We also talk about serendipitous situations that can sometimes lead to unexpected outcomes. And of course, there is coffee talk.Visit AdamVisit DaveMusic by Neko Fuzz and Barbasauce

Adam is back in the open-air studio, absent of squirrels and helicopters, but chock full of hot content about social media, selling product, and much more.

You may or may not know what Tik Tok is, but you should definitely get educated. Maybe you shy away from social media in general, but I can assure you that this platform is the most important thing that's happened in social since Instagram, and I explain my point of view completely in this episode. Find me on Tik Tokhttps://www.tiktok.com/@davemakesthings

Sorry folks, this is not your regularly scheduled program. Adam and I wanted to bang out a new episode, but things didn't work out that way.
