  • The real deal!

    I started listening to The Living Artist prior to meeting Preston and his lovely wife at ShockBoxx gallery, wonderful genuine people. I love the encouragement and practical tips Preston gives, and I’m highly entertained by Mumford and the rest of the crew that happen to drop in, or take over completely! Keep goin’ Preston, much appreciated!
