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!
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:
Recently I had the pleasure of speaking with the the great Don Bluth, one of animation’s most respected figures and one of my greatest inspirations as a kid. We had a great time and hit it off really well. Since then, I have been eagerly anticipating the chance to share the interview with you Minions. Like many of you, I totally realize how extremely valuable of an opportunity it is to speak with my guest. We both joked and laughed and shared with each other our mutual respect and deep passion for Traditional 2D Animation.
Hola Minions! I’m happy to announce that this episode marks the one year anniversary of The Man vs. Art Blog and Podcast! So I decided to do something special for you guys and put together a Giant Sized Podcast! It’s a two hour Man vs. Art extravaganza made up of purely new stuff! I was able to collect together a whole bunch of short visits with my past guests, friends of the show, and the 3 Prime Minions!
