47: Thomas Fluharty - Painting with Purpose.

Thomas Fluharty is an editorial and storyboard artist who's work has appeared on the covers of Time, Mad, U.S. News & World Report, the Village Voice, ....just to name a few. When he isn't under tight dealines you can find him creating a body of work purely for the enjoyment of others, focusing on what he loves; pop icons, sharks or whatever else happens to move him.
When he's not knocking out masterpieces, he enjoys time with his wife, five girls and little puppy Biddy.

Talking Points:
Don't Do art for Art's sake.
Real Art moves us.
How closed doors can be blessings in disguise.
Success is awesome. But succeeding at the wrong thing is not.

Personal Quote
"Creating imagery is a gift, making it great is a sweaty endeavor."

Purple Cow-Seth Godin
