Thunder Punch Daily 148 – Respecting the Work
February 26, 2013 by Jerzy Drozd
Filed under Podcasts, Thunder Punch Daily
We often look back on our old work and groan. Why is this? Is it humble to talk our old work down, even when someone is responding to it positively? What changes when we approach our body of work (big or small) with a sense of respect?

Thunder Punch Special 03 – Conventioning Punch
July 13, 2012 by Jerzy Drozd
Filed under Podcasts, Thunder Punch Daily
TPD is back! I took advantage of Richard Stevens’s visit to the United States (and his recent convention experience at Kids Read Comics) to get his perspective on tabling at a convention for the first time. Together we turn his hard-won knowledge into some useful tips for the first-time exhibitor.

Thunder Punch Daily 146 – Not “Cheating” Again…
February 14, 2012 by Jerzy Drozd
Filed under Podcasts, Thunder Punch Daily
Working on one of the locations for the new Front comic. I’m a cheater! #sketchup jerzydrozd.tumblr.com/post/174536452…
— Jerzy Drozd (@Jerzy) February 11, 2012
I asked for it! I made a joke about “cheating” at my art, and it got some folks rising to defend or dispute the question of whether or not one can cheat at making comics. I give what can only be described as an affirmation for anyone who has ever been called a “cheater”, and try to explore where this misconception comes from.

Thunder Punch Daily 145 – Thumbs of Terror

Filed under Podcasts, Thunder Punch Daily
But when I start?I’m a beginner who knows nothing.Which, come to think of it, is a very good thing.⁰
— J.M. DeMatteis (@JMDeMatteis) January 24, 2012
Today I share some of my experiences in thumbnailing the new Front story I hope to start updating on Sugary Serials in February. I borrow some wisdom from J.M. DeMatteis to help make my points more lucid, but the big idea is that there’s no escape from the terror of thumbnailing a story.

November 1, 2011 by Jerzy Drozd
Filed under Podcasts, Thunder Punch Daily

Thunder Punch Daily 140 – Crunch Time Sets Me Free
September 7, 2011 by Jerzy Drozd
Filed under Podcasts, Thunder Punch Daily
Today I share some thoughts on how being up against a wall on a deadline forced me to shed all of the tension and anxiety that I build up through the desire to get a “thumbs up” from my audience. Sometimes I, at least, need to remind myself that it’s about the work first.
