**Drinks With Johnny**

After touring the world with Avenged Sevenfold for 20 years, Johnny Christ sits down to have conversations with some old friends, some new friends, and people of all different walks of life to hear the stories that shaped their lives and careers.

The truth is, we never really know where these conversations are going to go. Sometimes we play a game for some less than thrilling penalties, get lost in the middle of LA, and even just kick back to celebrate a holiday or two.

Sometimes we drink, other times we don’t drink at all. From cocktails to health shakes, the drink is just a nice icebreaker to loosen up our guests for the wild ride they’re about to embark upon. Whatever it is you’re looking for, we’re sure to have it on the menu here at Drinks With Johnny.

So stay tuned, stay thirsty, and stay FILTHY AF!

This week we’re celebrating 20 years of Demon Hunter with the band’s fascinating frontman Ryan Clark!

Ryan opens up about the last two decades with the band, and how the group is commemorating this special milestone with a new album and companion comic book series. This leads us into a larger conversation about Ryan’s passion for design and visual arts. We discuss how Ryan has been fortunate enough to balance his time between two careers - one as the driving force behind Demon Hunter, and the other as a partner with his brother in the design studio Invisible Creature.

We discuss the history of art within Ryan’s family and learn about the creative genius of his grandfather’s work with NASA and beyond. Ryan reveals how this has influenced both himself and his brother Don with their work at Invisible Creature. We also discover how a few concert posters were able to lead the brothers to clients such as Pixar, LEGO, Target, and ultimately bring things full circle with some work for NASA.
