46: Gene Luen Yang – MakingComics.com Gutter Talk Podcast

— Made by Adam Greenfield & Kevin Cullen

We are nearing the end of our first year of Making Comics Worldwide and we are not slowing down as we round turn four, especially when it comes to the guests we have on the podcast. This episode’s guest, Gene Luen Yang, is an award winning artist and creator of works that have been and continue to be used in classrooms to educate students. This lies right at the feet of what we do at Making Comics Worldwide so having Gene on the show was almost vital. We were glad we made it happen.

Join Adam and Kevin as they head out on location to Gene’s hotel room in downtown San Diego to discuss using comics to educate, how software coding can be both similar and different from making comics, and also what it’s like to have your name spoken by Alex Trebek.

Today’s episode is the first half of a sit down between three fantastic artists: Jason Brubaker, Doug TenNapel, and Ethan Nicolle. Before that, Adam and Patrick discuss a few of the more finer points.

42: Michael Yakutis – MakingComics.com Gutter Talk Podcast

— Made by Adam Greenfield & Michael Yakutis

The moment Comic Underdogs partnered up with Making Comics Worldwide, it was only inevitable the co-founder, Michael Yakutis, would be on the show. However, when Adam sat down one on one with Michael, this news had not broken yet. Adam knew this, too. Still, toeing that line in this conversation made for good drama. Join Adam and Michael as they discuss everything from webcomics to withholding secrets.

41: Elaine Tipping – MakingComics.com Gutter Talk Podcast

— Made by Adam Greenfield & Marisa Brenizer

There’s nothing we at Making Comics Worldwide like more than when an artist shares their creative process. In fact, that’s really what’s at the heart of these podcasts. So when an artist is willing to give others a backstage pass into their creative process and not just talk about the process but provide pictures of it, too,  we get excited because of how much of a visual educational tool that is for others. Plus, it’s just really cool of the artist to be that open. So when Elaine Tipping, artist and co-creator of Dubious Company and others, sent over the images of her process, we weren’t sure if we could wait long enough to share the podcast and pictures. Join Adam and Marisa as they sit down with Elaine to discuss everything from kotatsu to her current Kickstarter project.

39: Jason Brubaker & Daniel Lieske (Classic #7) – MakingComics.com Gutter Talk Podcast

— Made by Adam Greenfield, Jason Brubaker & Kevin Cullen

We recently posted the live hangout Jason Brubaker and Daniel Lieske did for their successful Kickstarter campaigns, Sithra and Volume 1 of the book edition of Wormworld Saga, respectively. It’s only coincidence that this week’s flashback is with Daniel Lieske and about the Wormworld Saga. However, we get a unique look into where they once were in the process, as this conversation happened a couple years back, and just how far they’ve come along. Nothing like a little recorded time travel to gain knowledge.

However, before we listen in on that conversation, Adam and Kevin first discuss a few tidbits about the Making Comics Worldwide universe, highlight a couple points they noticed from listening to the podcast, and at times border on actual gutter talk. Hey, it’s not our fault childish double meanings exist.

38: Egypt Urnash – MakingComics.com Gutter Talk Podcast

— Made by Adam Greenfield & Marisa Brenizer

There are numerous webcomics on the internet these days and like snowflakes, no two are alike. In this week’s Gutter Talk episode, Adam and Marisa chat with Egypt Urnash, or Peggy as she’s known in conversation, as they discuss what’s behind her amazing scrolling webcomic, Decrypting Rita, as well as perhaps one of every artist’s biggest fears when it comes to printing a comic, a fear that unfortunately for Peggy came to fruition.

37: Taylor Holt & James Roy – MakingComics.com Gutter Talk Podcast

— Made by Adam Greenfield

Who isn’t a fan of those that are unique and stand out in some way? Well, if you’re in the anti-unique crowd, you should try it sometime. Maybe put your pants over your head and go to the mall or something. And while you’re doing that, listen to Taylor Holt and James Roy, artists and staff members of a unique website in its own right, Inkblazers.com. Adam is joined by Taylor and James as they discuss topics ranging from hands and chains to just what is so darn unique about Inkblazers. Plus, find out what James is like in the middle of the night, UK time, and if Taylor has any growths. It’s not what it sounds like but take a listen anyway and find out for yourself.
