Episode 47: Segaoctopus

Segaoctopus was our featured guest during this talk show episode! Renowned for her vapor-adjacent visual art, Segaoctopus has been a highly coveted guest for us to have on "Hot Takes", and we relished getting her input on various animation techniques like rotoscoping and stop animation, making sure to not miss our chance to also pick her brain on favorite anime and Western animated media. A longtime visual artist, Segaoctopus has released several longform digital comic strips and has produced everything from chibi caricatures to rotoscoped animations of various vaporwave acts, such as Equip. As an immensely treasured member of the vaporwave visual scene and creator of the pixel GIFs that we use for our own show, her thoughts, tastes, and opinions were highly sought after, and we didn't waste time in uncovering as much info on Seggo as possible! The live chat drowned us with questions for Segaoctopus, with topics covered ranging from gamer guys to Seggo's recommendations for future guests and on to her ultimate artistic goals for herself. Segactopus gave us the scoop on future plans for Sights, Sounds & Conversations, her livestream series that she runs with Codex صبي Encyclopedia, and a small debate broke out over the difference between jingles and jangles. Don't miss out on a very special midsection segment courtesy of the Wizard of Loneliness, featuring some of his recent vaporwave faves and a special hot take courtesy of him as well.
