Esao Andrews is a great friend of mine, one of my all time favorite artists and responsible for every Circa Survive album cover to date. Beyond his massive fine art career as an oil painter he has painted murals all over the world, done 30+ covers for the Vertigo Comic Book series "House Of Mystery", as well as dozens of designs for skateboard companies Deathwish & Baker. 

Esao is one of the most soft spoken and humble people that I know.  While talking about himself for a couple of hours is probably not at the top of his favorite things to do, this conversation was an absolute joy and I think you will be able to tell by the end how much fun we were having.  

We get into his journey from art school to happenstance illustrator to fine artist, how our paths crossed in collaboration, tons of wonderful stories involving his craft, some ghost stories and a lot more. 

This was recorded October 28th, 2019.  One of the strangest and spookiest things that I have ever encountered in my creative work occurred during the recording & editing of this podcast.  It happens and I detail it in an overdub. The overdub then expands upon the mystery. It begins around the 1:08:00 mark.
