Ray Troll, a guy who has some of the most unique fish artwork, is here today to share the story of how he got started with his career as an artist and how he became so fascinated with fish. We hear about the inspiration behind some of his famous pieces including, “Spawn Till You Die” and “Fish Worship, Is It Wrong?”. We dig into some of his books – how they came to be, and even get a hint about his upcoming book, Fish Head.

Ray also tells us about his podcast called, Paleo Nerds covering some very interesting topics about art and science. If you don’t know Ray, you are in for a treat today. His art, which some people describe as “Scientific Surrealism”, has a touch of humor and horror.
