Makingcomics.com Gutter Talk Podcast

Sometimes a conversation takes on a life of its own, and unexpected tangents are guaranteed. In that respect, this podcast did not disappoint! What began as a thumbnail discussion with Jason Brubaker (creator of reMIND and Sithrah) quickly morphed into a fantastic conversation about his unique comic-creation process. Oh darn. Take a listen and enjoy for yourself! One of the biggest benefits of being Making Comics (dotCom)'s "Inner-Circle Noob" is that I get to go backstage and learn from experienced artists -- not only how to create comics but all of the various ways that I can hone my craft. The intention was to sit down with Jason Brubaker, the (unnatural) talent behind reMIND and Sithrah, and discuss his thumbnail process -- a crucial early stage of comic creation.

Adam sits down with Patrick Yurick to discuss what to do when comic inspiration strikes. In this episode, Adam and Patrick discuss what steps one needs to take when they have their idea for a comic or graphic novel and aren't quite sure where to go from there. Do I find someone to draw it for me or help? Do I do it all myself? Patrick also discusses networking and drops some heavy philosophy: "The way into an impenetrable fortress of people is usually through a very small trap door." Deep.

Adam and Tweener co-host Kevin "The Flying Dutchman" Cullen discuss Making Comic Dot Com's first week of rebirth, its current affairs, and its future children. Plus, Adam makes and fixes his first mistake. Didn't take long, huh? This episode, Tweener #1, is the first in line of this format that will take a step back in scope to look at the slightly bigger picture of Making Comics Dot Com. We get a brief introduction to Making Comics Dot Com's Head of Content Development and the co-host of future Tweeners, Kevin "The Flying Dutchman" Cullen, then discuss how successful the launch of the site has been, as well as dive into a couple articles. After that we talk about what the near future looks like in terms of upcoming articles, then finish up with a few announcements, such as the newsletter, how to contact us, and why we want you to contact us. Furthermore, I make a pretty solid mistake, my first one, that I have to clean up in post-production. Intro & Outro Song: "RetroFuture Clean" Kevin MacLeod (incomp
