Hola Minions!
In today’s podcast I share my experience last weekend as a first time exhibitor at the 2010 APE Alternative Press Expo in the city by the bay San Francisco California.Let me start off by saying the APE was an absolute blast! I got to meet dozens of fellow Indy Comic and cartoon creators and got to check out some of the most unique and kick ass creations I’ve ever seen. The entire vibe of the event was of pure creativity. It was electric man! You could feel the creative energy throughout the exhibit hall!
Grasiela Rodriguez just self published her first comic book Lunatic Fringe available at Indyplanet.com. Yours truly, the Man vs. Art shall be attending the 2010 APE this weekend! That’s Right the alternative press expo in San Francisco California! I’ll be sharing a table with Man Vs. Art Sub Commandante Segundo Kevin Cross!
I’ll be selling my just released DVD Intro to Animation! So take a stroll into my store and click the pic to order your swag! If you can’t make it to the APE then show your support for the Man vs. Art podcast studio store here!
On today’s podcast I have a nice long chat with Animation Great Tom Sito! He’s an artist, animator, director writer, teacher and historian! He has more cartoon knowledge and experience in one fingernail than any of us have collectively!
In today’s podcast I talked about the differences between drawing for Cartoons and drawing for Illustrations. I also offered up a few little exercises for you Minions to help prime your pump when your creative juices are dry. There’s nothing worse than having artist’s block!
In part 2 of the interview, we get into the nitty gritty of 2D traditional animation. Don talks about the times he got to watch the Great Milt Kahl animate. Don also mentioned how Frank Thomas explained to him how to show weight in your characters when animating! For the second segment of the Podcast I had the pleasure of interviewing webcomic creator / illustrator Onezumi Hartstein and her partner in crime, web developer James Harknell. Onezumi (Oni for short) lives in New Jersey, loves Heavy Metal, and Disney World. She writes and draws the web comic Stupid and Insane Defenders Against Chaos.Oni is one of the most active contributors to and supporter of the webcomics scene:
