Challenging the Boundaries with George Alexander

In this Episode, Cray interviews George Alexander, an artist who started drawing his favorite cartoon characters at a young age. George highlights the challenges of transitioning to a new environment and finding one's place in it. It also shows how unexpected circumstances can shape one's path in life, and discusses his journey to becoming an artist.

While George is a citizen of the Muskogee Creek Nation, he doesn't necessarily gravitate towards his ancestral heritage in his art. The conversation touches on the importance of mentorship and how it can shape one's career and life.
