Gord & Jay Talk Art Episode 10: Conventions

We've made it to double figures! Aren't we awesome! Yes. Yes, we are indeed.

So Episode 10's meaty topic is Conventions. We talk about our experiences while attending them and how they may play a part in what we have planned for the future. Here are the show notes:

• Gord's Robot Monster Girl can be found here.
• Jay's first 4-page The Circle story can be found here.
• Becky Cloonan's fantastic 'Wolves' one-shot comic can be found here and here.
• Jay mentioned Mike Allred. He wrote and illustrated Madman, amongst many other things.
• Use extreme caution when attempting to pronounce Bill Sienkiewicz' surname.
• Here is the Slaine convention sketch Liam Sharp did for Jay.
• Paper Wings host Lora Innes' webcomic is called The Dreamer. It is beautiful!
• Gord's 'Spotlight Artist' for this episode is the great Dave Mckean.
• Jay uses Illustrator CC for all of his logo work. He is not in any way affiliated with Adobe or its subsidiaries. But he thinks he should get a free month for all of the public praise he gives them and their products.

The three artists Jay interviewed are-

• Ruth 'the Champion' Campion.
• The always delicious Patrick Gavin.
• Katie Creaven. She's okay we guess.

Gord & Jay Talk Art Episode 5: Anatomy

We're back with Episode 5 of the Gord & Jay Talk Art Podcast.
In this episode, we get our hands grubby in the details of learning human anatomy.

Here are some things we mention:

• Jay mentions the mighty Alphonse Mucha, in particular his Figures Decoratives (must be said in a french accent for full effect).
• Gord mentions the big two anatomy instructors: George B Bridgman and Burne Hogarth. Basically, if you're going to learn anatomy, these two instructors are the masters.
• Jay mentions Andrew Loomis. He's not known for his anatomical knowledge, but he will always be the 'go to' artist for learning to draw faces.
• Jay talks about the workshop that he and Patrick Gavin attended hosted by the fantastic artist, Eva Widermann.

The music we used for the background in the intro is provided by Setuniman. There's some little interludes by northern87 and indigosierra, and the outro is by Setuniman too. (because that person does some great stuff!)
