Listen to the podcast on Apple Podcasts | YouTube Podcasts | Spotify | RSS

In the episode of the Art Podcast, I meet Angel Manuel Lopez, an artist who goes by the moniker Son of a Saint. Angel's story is not just about his 15-year journey as a digital artist; it's a narrative of transformation and relentless pursuit of excellence that begins with a young person's love for comic books.

As a child, Angel's father a truck driver, would bring him stacks of comics, sparking his interest in drawing and storytelling. This early passion laid the foundation for what would become a dynamic career in digital artistry. Angel's tale is a testament to the power of self-education and the determination to stand out in a sea of talent.

Angel shares how he taught himself Photoshop, delved into the intricacies of 3D modeling, and mastered the art of branding. This led to creating movie posters and garnering press attention from the likes of the New York Post and the Daily News.

December snow.

It's snowed a few times this year I don't know why this time felt different.

Still dealing with items.

I had to create a claim on the USPS website for the package in New York. And I had hoped I could ship my laptop from home but the return instructions said it had to be sent from the UPS facility.

Missing label.

When I took the label back to the post office he told me I need to bring my own tape to put it on the package next time. I'm hoping there won't be a next time.

Paint run.

A few years ago scheduling MRI's would consume our whole day . Now we were happy that we could just do something to help other people in some way. Even if it was just driving to get the paint they needed. And we did make it back in time for for Merijoy's appointment.
