Thunder Punch Daily 148 – Respecting the Work

February 26, 2013 by  
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 Daily 146 – Not “Cheating” Again…

February 14, 2012 by  
Filed under Podcasts, Thunder Punch Daily

 

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

January 24, 2012 by  
Filed under Podcasts, Thunder Punch Daily

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.

Thunder Punch Daily 143 – Surprised by Style

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

Today I share some thoughts on how a simple nudge from Kim Holm faced me with an inner demon that I suspect comes out of my history with mainstream comics. I don’t land on an answer to the issue, but I ruminate a bit about what my options are.

Thunder Punch Daily 140 – Crunch Time Sets Me Free

September 7, 2011 by  
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.
