89: James Mulholland – MakingComics.com Gutter Talk Podcast

Posted by & filed under GutterTalk.

Over the last two years, the Making Comics Gutter Talk podcast has been fortunate enough to speak to amazing artists from international locations such as Canada, Australia, and Denmark. In today’s episode, we place a checkmark next to Ireland as Adam sits down with Irish writer and filmmaker James Mulholland. It was borderline middle of the night for James at the time of the conversation but a great conversation was had.

The episode begins with some political soapboxing but we promise, it soon dives into comics and the arts, and also the love James has for the city of Orlando, Florida. Another topic that comes up is the late start James got when getting into comics. It’s just more proof that there is no single path an individual must take to become a comic artist.

One of these days the Making Comics Worldwide crew will travel abroad to spread the good word in person. There’s a reason the word “worldwide” is in our name. But until then, our next best option is to speak to folks outside of the United States through the Gutter Talk podcast. Sure, email works, too, but that’s just not nearly as much fun as speaking to someone online in person-ish. It really is the next best thing. You can take our word for it but we highly advise you listen to this episode with James Mulholland, and other podcasts, for yourself.

Underdog Self Promo Sunday Recap – August

Posted by & filed under Underdogs.

Keeping with our new feature in the Underdog Facebook Group, we held another Self Promo Sunday last weekend allowing folks to share their url with the community. Yet again, it was a huge success! The idea behind this is to give everyone the chance to plug their link in an fun yet organized manner. On the first Sunday of each month a special thread is opened up in the Facebook group where people can post their link, but in order to do so they have to answer 3 questions. The thread is then taken down after 24 hours so it doesn’t keep getting bumped up in the group. We then copy the content into a blog post so nothing is lost.

If you would like to participate in next month’s Self Promo Sunday, simply join the Underdog Facebook group! (more…)

Underdog Self Promo Sunday Recap

Posted by & filed under Underdogs.

Last Sunday on Facebook, the Comic Underdogs kicked off a new and exciting monthly activity – Shameless Self Promotion Sundays! The idea behind this being, with such a robust community, it’s difficult to find everyone’s origin stories and the comics they’re attached to (especially if they’ve been an Underdog for a while). To give everyone a chance to see what everyone else is working on while avoiding the ever-destructive self-promo spam, every first Sunday of the Month, the Underdog facebook page will open up a discussion post for creators.

69: Jason Brubaker & Daniel Lieske pt.2 (Classic #16) – MakingComics.com Gutter Talk Podcast

Posted by & filed under GutterTalk.

Fresh off a highly successful panel at WonderCon, as well as your benevolent host recording three other future podcast episodes, the Making Comics Gutter Talk podcast returns with a flashback, or a re-issue as they’ve come to be known around these parts. In this episode we return to the great conversation Jason Brubaker was in the midst of with Daniel Lieske, the mastermind and artist behind the Wormworld Saga. If you have not yet had a chance to listen to the first half of this conversation, click here to check it out.

In this episode Jason and Daniel Lieske go into detail about their strange and exciting successes with their respective Kickstarter projects, as well as some great conversation about crowdsourcing in general. It really does seem to be important to make sure you continue to build your fan base in order to help drive your successful project.

As a side note but one that also reaches up for the WonderCon mention above, were you there? If so, let us know. We’d love to hear what your thoughts were, what you liked, didn’t liked, wanted to hear but didn’t, heard but didn’t expect to hear, all of it. It was a pretty great panel, Jason Brubaker included, and the discussions had were as awesome as the questions asked by the crowd. If you were not there, though, no worries. Click here to take a listen.

Oh, and one more thing. Please consider going to iTunes to rate the Making Comics Gutter Talk podcast. Leave a review, count some stars, maybe check out some episodes you haven’t listened to yet. This really will help us get the word out about the great things we’re doing here and we really do want to hear from you. We see you on Twitter and Facebook and other places doing amazing things so please consider doing the same and leaving a review on iTunes.

Ok, now you can listen to today’s podcast. Enjoy, dear listeners.

We here at Making Comics Worldwide hope you had a great 2014 and we look forward to you joining us as we rush headlong into 2015. However, we still have one more piece of business to attend to, and that’s the final Gutter Talk episode of the year. It seems fitting that this episode is a re-issue of the one that started this whole thing, Jason Brubaker, and the second part of his conversation with artists Jeremy Barlow and Travis Hanson. If you missed the first half, click here. But first, Adam and Michael talk about holiday plans and other shop talk.

See you all next year! Ok, yeah, we know it’s next week. Just roll with it.
