Artist & illustrator Daren Thomas Magee has seen his career explode since moving to Ojai, and it all started with a simple postcard that he created and started passing around. He has since amassed hundreds of thousands of followers on Instagram where he delves into life's big question while moving merchandise.
The conversation ranged around many topics, beginning with his making a move into the world of fine art, the changing nature of social media as it moves into a "pay to play" model, war and other disasters and the effects on social cohesion and much more. We also go into recent changes in Ojai and what it might mean for the future.
We did not talk about Fernando Valenzuela's auspicious major league baseball debut, the comedic stylings of Paul Mooney or the recent Starlink launches from Space X.
