Justin Fox is the founder of Zen Garage, graphic designer and first appeared on the Mere Mortals in Conversation #72.

In Conversation #84, Justin and I discuss: how he is finding an artistic outlet in plants, how technology changes the art scene, the various behaviours found in digital communities, why it's valuable to have the ability to cold approach, finding a girl who isn't just a cookie cutter template and the issues he was having with Patreon and DeviantArt. 

As always, I hope you enjoy. Kyrin out!
