I guess the lesson learned, then, is that we should always be aware that these movies, tv shows, and etc. are dramatizations, and therefore not quite true to life. Maybe it's just me, but I think of the TV Show <i>Cosmos</i>, in which Carl Sagan told stories about famous scientists like Kepler and Hubble, and they were interesting to watch without any sense of sensationalism. I would love to watch a biography series like that. But then again, without fact-checking the stories, I have no idea how much even he embellished. I'd like to think he didn't, though. Carl Sagan was a good man. Hey, thanks so much!

It just isn't exciting to watch people think and then write or draw. When I was working at TechTV we wanted to do a show about game development, maybe a documentry or reality show, but watching people doing code is like watching grass grow. You guys hit it on the head about the problem with all these dramatic artists stories is it does lead the general public to believe unless you are on drugs or on the edge of a total melt down, you cannot be a great artist. Keep up the podcasts. I knew nothing about you guys or your work until I found the podcast. I have told a couple of others about your websites and podcasts. I value the time and effort you guys take to do the podcast and think your work looks great. You guys are right about the dramatic stories of artists shown in media.
