The Dropouts interview a mixed media artist and talk about some events happening around Madison.

Join Alex and Shaun as they discuss this past weekend’s record sale fundraiser (1:39) and tile-painting workshop (3:50) at Communication, kick off a rousing game in a killer new RSD segment (12:04), and start the #GetSarahBarnfartToDesignAnOfMontrealCover movement (27:51).

After the break, Shaun interviews Sarah Barnfart, a self-proclaimed art bitch mixed media (f)artist. Between giggles, they chat about the “erotic art” label (31:44), navigating Instagram’s community guidelines (39:52), discovering of Montreal (48:25), and loving Nick Drake, who would have turned 71 on June 19 (53:06).
