Stephen Bliss returns to discuss his creativity and his artistic endeavours since moving on from his iconic role as lead artist at Rockstar Games, including Fear City, and 'Thumper' his new comic by Scout Comics.

We first talked a few years ago when Stephen was in the midst of his superb 'I, Frankenstein' series of artworks. (https://podcasts.apple.com/gb/podcast/ep-70-stephen-bliss-on-his-iconic-grand-theft-auto/id1038442077?i=1000385250009)

Since then, Stephen has been busy bringing his new world 'Fear City' to life, first through NFT releases, and now via 'Thumper', a comic led by a rather macabre rabbit creation.

We get into sense of self, conscious expression, comparison, and world-building among many other topics.
