The Scuttlebutt | Season 5 Episode 7

Did you know you could enlist in the Marine Corps and serve as a Combat Artist?! I sure didn’t. Then I came across this interview with Marine Corps veteran and Combat Artist, Elize McKelvey. Elize joins The Scuttlebutt this week with fellow Combat Artist and Artist in Residence at the National Museum of the Marine Corps, Kristopher Battles to talk about their service, what drives them as artists and storytellers, and how they find moments in everyday life while deployed to eternalize with a paint brush. A conversation not to be missed on YouTube as we showcase their incredible art on screen. Don’t miss this one!
