Weekly guest let loose on electronic paintbox and invited to create their own "masterpiece" whilst giving a one-sided commentary about themselves and what they were trying to achieve on the electronic canvas. Guests were well-known celebrities of varying artistic ability. Notable artist guests included David Hockney. Massive ASMR sensory overload provided by the combination of close-mic'd voice of artist and scratching of stylus against trackpad. Intimate and very therapeutic.
