41: Elaine Tipping – MakingComics.com Gutter Talk Podcast
There’s nothing we at Making Comics Worldwide like more than when an artist shares their creative process. In fact, that’s really what’s at the heart of these podcasts. So when an artist is willing to give others a backstage pass into their creative process and not just talk about the process but provide pictures of it, too, we get excited because of how much of a visual educational tool that is for others. Plus, it’s just really cool of the artist to be that open. So when Elaine Tipping, artist and co-creator of Dubious Company and others, sent over the images of her process, we weren’t sure if we could wait long enough to share the podcast and pictures. Join Adam and Marisa as they sit down with Elaine to discuss everything from kotatsu to her current Kickstarter project.

39: Jason Brubaker & Daniel Lieske (Classic #7) – MakingComics.com Gutter Talk Podcast
We recently posted the live hangout Jason Brubaker and Daniel Lieske did for their successful Kickstarter campaigns, Sithra and Volume 1 of the book edition of Wormworld Saga, respectively. It’s only coincidence that this week’s flashback is with Daniel Lieske and about the Wormworld Saga. However, we get a unique look into where they once were in the process, as this conversation happened a couple years back, and just how far they’ve come along. Nothing like a little recorded time travel to gain knowledge.
However, before we listen in on that conversation, Adam and Kevin first discuss a few tidbits about the Making Comics Worldwide universe, highlight a couple points they noticed from listening to the podcast, and at times border on actual gutter talk. Hey, it’s not our fault childish double meanings exist.

38: Egypt Urnash – MakingComics.com Gutter Talk Podcast
There are numerous webcomics on the internet these days and like snowflakes, no two are alike. In this week’s Gutter Talk episode, Adam and Marisa chat with Egypt Urnash, or Peggy as she’s known in conversation, as they discuss what’s behind her amazing scrolling webcomic, Decrypting Rita, as well as perhaps one of every artist’s biggest fears when it comes to printing a comic, a fear that unfortunately for Peggy came to fruition.

37: Taylor Holt & James Roy – MakingComics.com Gutter Talk Podcast
Who isn’t a fan of those that are unique and stand out in some way? Well, if you’re in the anti-unique crowd, you should try it sometime. Maybe put your pants over your head and go to the mall or something. And while you’re doing that, listen to Taylor Holt and James Roy, artists and staff members of a unique website in its own right, Inkblazers.com. Adam is joined by Taylor and James as they discuss topics ranging from hands and chains to just what is so darn unique about Inkblazers. Plus, find out what James is like in the middle of the night, UK time, and if Taylor has any growths. It’s not what it sounds like but take a listen anyway and find out for yourself.

36: Chris Miskiewicz – MakingComics.com Gutter Talk Podcast
Have you ever read the first line of a comic or graphic novel or any story, really, and you knew right away the story was going to be amazing? That’s what we at Making Comics felt when we got our ink-stained paws on “Thomas Alsop” and the words Chris Miskiewicz was putting down on paper. We knew the art by Palle Schmidt would blow us away but the story and how the plot develops was what made Adam and the rest of the team excited about having Chris on the show. Having met Chris at San Diego Comic Con this summer, it seemed both right and inevitable to have him on the podcast. Take a listen as Adam and Chris sit down to discuss writing, acting, and hooliganis- uh, research for future stories.

35: Jason Brubaker, David Petersen & Trent Kaniuga (Classic #6) – MakingComics.com Gutter Talk Podcast
Even though every day is a day to make comics, we here at Making Comics Worldwide like Fridays best. Ok, maybe just Adam likes Fridays best. Still, if you like making comics AND listening to amazing artists on podcasts, then Fridays are definitely the best day of the week because that’s exactly what you get with Gutter Talk. Today, as we’ve been doing every last Friday of the month, we crank up the time traveling machine and dip back to a time when Jason Brubaker was the host and the guests were just as awesome as the ones we have now.
This episode is a sit-down with not just the creator of Twilight Monk, Trent Kaniuga, but also the mastermind behind Mouse Guard, David Petersen. We open, though, with a brief set-up chat with Adam and Marisa Brenizer to get things warmed up.

34: Josh Hood – MakingComics.com Gutter Talk Podcast
It’s not often we get to use that 20/20 hindsight but sometimes, after hitting the reset button, that clear vision comes in very handy. In this episode, Adam sits down with Josh Hood, an amazing artist who has worked for both DC and Marvel, among others, who did just that, hit the reset button and came back with a fresh perspective. Take a listen and see what lessons he learned when he came back.

33: Doug Hills – MakingComics.com Gutter Talk Podcast
Sure, it took a little while for us to get a manga artist (let alone manga expert) on the Gutter Talk podcast but we did it. And man, did we do it. Adam sits down one on one with Doug Hills, an artist, a teacher, and he also wrote Manga Studios for Dummies in 2008. While the topic of self-doubt came up, this conversation leaves no doubt that many things the artist experiences, from unnecessary self-doubt to misguided confidence, are a normal part of the process. You are not alone, all you random reading and listening artists out there. You are not alone.

32: Dan Mashburn – MakingComics.com Gutter Talk Podcast
The Gutter Talk syndicate moves forward into its eighth month and yeah, we also feel like this thing just started yesterday, too. And in those eight months, we’ve had a mind-blowing array of guests, from artists to writers to editors to publishers. Still, there’s one area of making comics that we would be remiss if we didn’t talk about, marketing and printing your comic. Even if your main avenue is webcomics, there’s something in here for you. How so? Listen and find out.
Adam takes the podcast on the road and heads to the site of Haichris Inc., a local San Diego marketing and print shop, to talk to the president of the company, Dan Mashburn. Listen in as Dan discusses building relationships with the Comic Making Guys (CMGs) and even defines happiness.
