This week, Duncan and Richard talk to Deb Sokolow! We talk about Deb's work, drug lords, Rocky, the merits of Sylvester Gardenzio Stallone's painting, Oliver North, how many people on the Bad at Sports staff have actually smoked crack, serial killers, meth labs, Jerry Saltz, Gary Busey, art school, and more, more, more! This is a great interview. As a special bonus Geoffrey Todd Smith preps panels with a roller (that is the odd sound you hear in the background) and chimes in occasionally off mic!Shamelessly lifted blurb: Deb Sokolow has been steadily inking her way into the hearts and minds
of Chicago's art world. Since graduating from the School of the Art
Institute in 2004, she has shown at 40000, Gallery 400 and Polvo, and had a solo show in the MCA's 12 x 12 series. Her whimsical drawings analyze pop-culture phenomena, such as the movie Rocky,
office culture and Americans' fear of terrorism, and mix the aesthetics
of children's books, diary writing, New Yorker-style cartoons and
personal sketching.
