Reid Stowe is a mariner and an artist who spent a record 1,000 days at sea without touching land, and without ship-to-ship resupply. During that voyage, he created masterful art. Austin and Reid first discuss the difficulty of his voyage, then in front of his art at New York's Paul Calendrillo gallery, they discuss the art itself. Reid Stowe's exhibition runs until 10/31/19 at Paul Calendrillo Gallery on West 28th Street. (NOTE: Pardon the audio quality of some portions of this interview. The gallery space in which we recorded was very live with reverb. We tried our best to squelch the ambient noise.)
