Chainsaw artist and all around badass, Griffon Ramsey invites the guys into her home for a long talk about growing up in an Oregon ghost town, the artistry and creativity of making your own dentures, and what to do when a friend asks you to bust them out of the Naval Academy. Rip that pull cord, because this episode rules. Special cameos are made by Mike's cat, Grits, and Griffon's dog, Arrow.

"That's the thing that got me excited about being creative is that you start with nothing and then something happens. We have so much power as creatives." If you get to the point in your artistic career where you are invited to help carve and build a church and sculptures out of ice in Slovakia for three weeks, you might think you have made it. But for Griffon Ramsey (https://griffonramsey.com/) it is only a part of the beginning of the next exciting chapter. After spending many years working and creating in the world of theater/film and the gaming/comic/online sphere she discovered something more entrepreneurial, challenging, physically satisfying, and ultimately a purer form of expression. How about carving raw masses of wood into highly detailed and often elaborate sculptures, using a portable mechanical saw with a toothed rotating chain, along with many other specialized tools. Over the course of many days or even in just an hour something amazing can be created. This could play out in a secluded warehouse, a scene that epitomizes the solitary artist, or in front of hundreds of people, who live and breathe with awe and exhilaration as the story of the piece is revealed. So there is the skill and the art of creation, the performance, the experience of the onlooker, and the durable final product, a literal work of art born from a lot of hard work. After many years of practice and persistence Griffon has reached a level where she is invited to carving events and competitions all over the U.S. and the world. This allows her to pursue the professional and artistic development she desires with a global community of piers and mentors who enjoy sharing and learning from each other. Its a community she loves and wishes to promote and encourage. So listen and learn and share! This was such a fun conversation and Griffon’s voice is so enjoyable to listen to, she had me smiling the whole way through. We talk about her beginnings in Oregon growing up in a ghost town and discover the original childhood inspiration for her current career, Sea Gulch! She touches on her schooling and work in film and theater, her years at Rooster Teeth, and the rest of the time we cover many different aspects of chainsaw art, carving, and the life of an artist. Don’t try this at home might be an appropriate warning but you do have to start somewhere. And there are a few curse words which she does apologize for. Enjoy! Some of the subjects we discuss: Chainsaw art The Fort AXT Growing up in Oregon Visiting her father Creative & resourceful Making sacrifices for art Various carving tools & safety School and theater Working at Rooster Teeth Long term projects/jobs Reevaluating & rebranding Entertainment & attention span Ways artists make money Performance art/carving events Discovering chainsaw art Mentors/Sea Gulch Chainsaw specifics A pure form of expression Relationship with lumber Working with different woods Learning from a global community World wide competitions Slovakian ice church Learning to carving ice Women in the art Making carving videos Motivations and callings Business side of art Physical labor The joy of carving Banner photo by Brian Vogel
