PAPERFRANK - Dealing with Criticism

I recently got the chance to interview visual artist PaperFrank about his work, his life, and his rapid growth as an artist. The full interview was recorded for an artist feature for WonderRoot. This audio snippet was one of the out takes, but I feel it gives a great perspective on how Frank deals with some of the struggles of such rapid success, which often includes negative feedback from older artists. The full interview will be featured here: http://www.stitcher.com/podcast/wonderroot/the-wonderroot-podcast http://wonderroot.podomatic.com/ About PaperFrank: http://www.paperfrank.com PaperFrank is an internationally known acrylic painter and professional tattoo artist.
