This time I talk with Gregg Schigiel, host of the Stuff Said podcast and artist on the Spongebob Comics series.

There was a little bit of Skype buffering in […]

Fabulous Secrets 01 – I Could Be Sleeping Right Now
May 12, 2014 by Jerzy Drozd
Filed under Fabulous Secrets, Podcasts
I’ve decided to relaunch the Fabulous Secrets podcast! But instead of a show about teaching comics (a topic I cover thoroughly on the Lean Into Art Cast), the new edition of FS will feature casual conversations with cartoonists.

April 9, 2011 by Jerzy Drozd
Filed under Podcasts, Thunder Punch Daily
Today I revisit a topic I don’t think I’ve touched on in a while (maybe not since the Your Comic From the Ground Up series!): namely, whether or not an artist should finish each page of a project in its entirety before moving on to the next one, or whether breaking the process into several […]

Filed under Blog
The pencils and lettering to a comic advertisement for the UP! Fair that may run in some local Lexington papers. Rather than a simple description of what events and programs we’re going to offer at the fair, I thought I’d promote the spirit of the event first. We’re all a little like that lonely and under-appreciated […]

I talk about how the principles of line value in illustration are exactly analogous to the way I like to think about lettering. I talk a little inside baseball at the top of this one, discussing how I use Hindenburg Mobile to record the show. […]
