On this episode, host Leroy "Whistle Monsta" Mitchell welcomes Michael Guidry — New Orleans oil painter, Louisiana marsh devotee, and the artist critics have called "the punk rock Audubon." Trained at the New Orleans Academy of Fine Arts and LSU, Guidry builds richly layered compositions on wood, burlap, canvas, and aluminum — inspired by time spent at his fishing camp in the South Louisiana salt marsh. From albino alligators to bayou wildlife to the myths and memories of personal experience in the natural world, his work is bold, vibrant, and distinctly New Orleans. A fascinating conversation about art, life, and seeing the world a little differently. See his work at mguidrystudio.com.
