[Samantha · Rating 3 out of 5]

though his finances limit the quality, it's pretty annoying that he publishes this really intense complicated art filled with tens of layers in each piece, then explains how the colors, oh if you could just see them you'd totally be blown away, and can't publish them in color.

the interviews are always amazing and so unpretentious. the people always seem like they would be so nice in real life, whether this is from mike mcgonigal's choices of subjects, or the way they are conducted, who knows.

but seriously, fork over the money for color.
