Once the conversation began, we truly had no idea where it was going to begin. Not in our wildest dreams did we think we would start with Rusty as a child actor in Broadway musicals and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.imdb.com\/name\/nm0319207\/\" target=\"_blank\">movies and television<\/a> in the 60\u2019s and 70\u2019s and how that led to his first real art assignment of the 1981 movie <a href=\"https:\/\/www.imdb.com\/title\/tt0082509\/?ref_=nv_sr_srsg_0\" target=\"_blank\">Heavy Metal<\/a>. What a long strange trip it was from them to now. Oh, and did we happen to mention his 2 cat buddies, Mack and Trouble and how they rescued his life from professional wrestling? Of course we didn\u2019t, but he did. So, there was that, and then there was also what he has been doing recently, so we got to talk about a few of his current <a href=\"https:\/\/www.indiegogo.com\/projects\/covid-19-virus-trading-card-to-benefit-children\/x\/4924491#\/\" target=\"_blank\">Indiegogo projects<\/a> and how <a href=\"https:\/\/www.indiegogo.com\/projects\/sexy-scary-space-pulp-trading-cards\/x\/4924491#\/\" target=\"_blank\">Indiegogo<\/a> has become the goto sales vehicle for artists and artisans during the pandemic.<\/p>\n<p>In a way, we learned a ton of stuff about Rusty, but our guess is we have just scratched the surface. Check out his work and enjoy the chaos.<\/p>\n<span id=\"pod_audio_1\">&nbsp;<\/span><!--[if lt IE 9]><script>document.createElement('audio');<\/script><![endif]-->\n<audio class=\"wp-audio-shortcode\" id=\"audio-9718-1\" preload=\"none\" style=\"width: 100%;\" controls=\"controls\"><source type=\"audio\/mpeg\" src=\"http:\/\/www.scifisaturdaynight.com\/podcast\/talkcast450.mp3?_=1\" \/><a href=\"http:\/\/www.scifisaturdaynight.com\/podcast\/talkcast450.mp3\">http:\/\/www.scifisaturdaynight.com\/podcast\/talkcast450.mp3<\/a><\/audio><p><a href='http:\/\/www.scifisaturdaynight.com\/podcast\/talkcast450.mp3'>Download<\/a> | <a href=\"http:\/\/scifisaturdaynight.com\/castplayer?castfile=http:\/\/www.scifisaturdaynight.com\/podcast\/talkcast450.mp3&id=9718\" rel=\"0\" class=\"newPlayerWindow\" >Open Player in New Window<\/a><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-9720\" src=\"http:\/\/scifisaturdaynight.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/1979.png\" alt=\"1979\" width=\"289\" height=\"448\" srcset=\"http:\/\/scifisaturdaynight.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/1979.png 628w, http:\/\/scifisaturdaynight.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/1979-193x300.png 193w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 289px) 100vw, 289px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<div class=\"sharedaddy sd-sharing-enabled\"><div class=\"robots-nocontent sd-block sd-social sd-social-official sd-sharing\"><h3 class=\"sd-title\">Share this:<\/h3><div class=\"sd-content\"><ul><li class=\"share-twitter\"><a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/share\" class=\"twitter-share-button\" data-url=\"http:\/\/scifisaturdaynight.com\/?p=9718\" data-text=\"TalktCast450 -
