Hailing from Tupelo, my next guest, Ke Francis, is a multi-talented multimedia artist, writer and publisher. Founder, and Operator of Hoopsnake Press in Tupelo, his art is nationally and internationally recognized. With his work shown in over 30 international collections, including the Getty Museum, it’s no wonder he is here today, to discuss his 2023 Governor’s Arts Award for Excellence in Visual Arts, his noteworthy career, current projects and hailing from Tupelo. Marshall Ramsey, a nationally recognized, Emmy award winning editorial cartoonist, shares his cartoons and travels the state as Mississippi Today’s Editor-At-Large. He’s also host of a "Now You're Talking" on MPB Think Radio and "Conversations" on MPB TV, and is the author of several books. Marshall is a graduate of the University of Tennessee and a 2019 recipient of the University of Tennessee Alumni Professional Achievement Award.  Hosted on Acast.
