“For our third episode, our guest is Shane Csontos-Popko is a Senior 3D Designer artist at O.D.D. Studios. He has formerly worked with studios such as Brand New School, Hornet, PSYOP and CNN Motion.

He dropped some knowledge about his experience selling NFT Artwork and AI generative workflows with Artbreeder and very bravely admitted that he’s been buying Pokemon cards.”
