Tonight’s guest is artist Tom Zotos, who tells us about his amazing career with companies like Hard Rock Cafe, Warner Brothers, Disney, and Lucasfilm. From his website:

He led a quiet revolution creating “Pop Imagery” from cartoons, comics, and movies to the world of fine art. In the mid eighties he convinced the Walt Disney Company that there was a market for upscale art images and proved it when it became the genesis of a “Pop Art Phenomenon”.  A veteran in the world of art publishing, Zotos art directed and published some of the most revealing and thought provoking images of the last 25 years.
