#TFTHS Ep 0154 The Art of @BenRiddlebarger

Ben Riddlebarger is one of my favorite artists. Ever since Scott Epic bought me his Dr. Who ocean piece for the Cosmosdome studio I have been fascinated with this artist from the Dayton, Ohio area. Mixing pop culture, religion, as well as creating incredibly detailed pieces that look like no one else. I wanted to get Ben on for the Gem City Podcast and Tales From The Hardside. I wanted to hear his story and ask about some of his work. This was a good one. Had to give an update because so much is happening in life right now. Things I didn't include are a right knee that is killing me and I should probably have surgery on, a tooth that needs a root canal or pulled, and my work hours and environment are slowly killing me. Enough about that though, I gave an update about the Deathsquad meetup before Joey Diaz in Columbus. That opening clip was from 2012. I had a band no call/no show on me for the Gem City Podcast this past week, and Zachs basketball team has lost 7-9 games in a row. Bummer. What's not a bummer is the voicemail. I'd love to hear stories from the listeners. Where do you listen? Where are you from?
