Episode 23: Calvin Tan

 Calvin Tan has been recognized as one of the most talented
sculptors and figure painters in the world, especially among
those working with WWII subjects. A graduate of RMIT University
who is now the Department Chair at DigiPen Institute of
Technology, he’s one of the most eloquent artists we’ve
interviewed on this podcast in terms of drawing connections
between what we do in miniature (his favored scales: 1/35 and
1/16) and what some of the grand masters did in the realm of fine
art; as he pointed out, there is plenty to learn from them, even
if the connections aren’t always obvious. Calvin has an excellent
blog where you can follow his works in progress here,  and,
as always, after our chat, your hosts pick several of his pieces
to discuss in depth.
