Hold on tight, you are about to enter the mind of Julian Bast, and I don't think you are ready.

(You can WATCH this video on YOUTUBE)

Julian is a tattooer and artist who is focused on letting an unstructured process steer the ship. Modeling his approach after the freedom he saw his children have when making art, he keeps the idea of "play" at the forefront. 

I have admired everything he does for years, and was excited to finally meet him and spend some time getting tattooed and having the conversations you will see in this episode. We talk about how family and work have started to blend more seamlessly for him, the benefits of automatic drawing, and he tells a story about how he almost lost his mind while painting a mural...but just for a split second.

Julian works at Name Brand Tattoo in Ann Arbor, MI.
