Episode 5: Ian Nesbit

Ian Nesbit has been part of the Liverpool bar scene for 5 years now, and has been at Outpost (Renshaw St) since it opened in 2018. He also dabbles in illustration and graphic design (with Etsy and TeePublic stores,) and is a Wool. Ian's art style is not unlike his customer service; often crude, borderline offensive, but with a cute attention to detail, littered with pop culture references, and always from the heart. In this episode, we talk about his passion for movies, comics, our friendship, and life in general. *Ian is partial to the odd profanity or two* https://www.instagram.com/i_nesbot https://www.etsy.com/uk/shop/inesbotdesigns https://www.teepublic.com/user/inesbot https://www.redbubble.com/people/inesbotdesigns/shop

Marty’s drawing style is very unique and striking with his bold statements and compositions in a very different style of linework only the few have the audacity to pursue.  We highly recommend that you check out his Instagram account to see his jaw dropping adeptness..   Martys Links: https://www.instagram.com/masster_mar...  Subscribe on Spotify: https://spoti.fi/3tU1X30 Our Website: http://downatthedocks.co.uk/ Socials:  Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/downthedocks/ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/downatthedocks
