Step 24: Dustin Hansen -- Growing Your Own Food

<p>Dustin Hansen is a writer, illustrator and creative director with decades of experience in video games and writing credits that span genres. He's the author of <em>Game On!,</em> a brief history of video games, the <em>Microsaurs</em> series and most recently <em>The Video Game Ate My Homework</em> for DC Comics. He also recently made the bold claim that he grew 70% of his food in the summer of 2020! In this episode we investigate this claim and talk about why chickens are magic, goats are great and how food independence makes for better art. We also talk about building art and food cultures that might some day replace the ones we currently have and why it's a good idea to think of art as a <em>very</em> long term project.</p> <p>Dustin on twitter: https://twitter.com/DustHansen</p> <p>Jeffrey Howard's conversation with Ashley Colby on Damn the Absolute: https://erraticus.co/2021/01/20/subsistence-agriculture-united-states-collapse-industrial-capitalism-ashley-colby/</p>
