Last night we recorded another episode of the Sequential Artists’ Pub. On this episode we discuss advertising and branding. You can listen to the episode here.

I will also be going to Dr. Sketchy’s Anti-Art School this afternoon. It will be the first life drawing class/event I’ve ever gone to.

I won’t be at the Sequential Artists’ Pub tonight because of preparations for 24 Hour Comic Day, but that doesn’t mean YOU shouldn’t be there. Here’s the skinny:

This Friday (10PM EST), featured guest Brandon McKinney to the Sequential Artists’ Pub. (You can see a peek of his artwork above.) Brandon is an immensely talented artist – his professional portfolio includes work for Lucasfilm, Marvel Comics, Dark Horse Comics, Electronic Arts, and much, much more. More recently, Brandon’s work appeared on the Army of Two graphic novel.

This episode was all kinds of awesome. I particularly liked the speech that Jerzy Drozd made about how the art and writing in comics are inseparable.

This month’s album art is courtesy of DungeonWarden. Bring your favorite beverage and see you this evening at 10PM EST on Talkshoe.com.

Here are some of the topics of interest we’ll be talking about in our 8th episode:

Our Favorite Tools / Tips / Tricks (aka What’s in YOUR arsenal?)
Starting a strip ( should one start with random gags and progress towards story arcs? i.e. what’s the best approach? )
The Artist / Writer Balance (does excelling in one detract from the other?)
Marketing

You can see the Jam I participated in on Thursday at http://www.cartoonistconspiracy.com/conspire/?p=702
.

And you can listen to the Sequential Artist’s pub (recordered on Friday night) at http://www.talkshoe.com/tc/20378. I pretty much have one question for our special guest, Steve Hamaker. I asked him about image file backups because working in IT has made me paranoid about system failures and data loss.

Man, I had a lot of fun on this episode. I got to discuss my feelings about blogging, nitpickers, and how drawing autobio comics is in fact world building. Now I just have a bunch of things stuck in my head that I wish I would have said at the time. Go listen to it here.
