    We're kicking off Season 2 with "Creator of Things" Zack Smithey. Zack is already fairly well known in the St. Louis area for his many high profile artistic endeavors. We sat down to talk in his studio one rainy morning and learned a great deal about the thought processes and mentality that go into making art a viable career, something that many people strive for but few achieve.
