Podcast Ep. 121: GURNEY'S JOURNEY - SiDEBAR Interviews Fantastic Artist JAMES GURNEYWe start off our conversation with the man by listing some of his many achievements and career highs—so we won't do it again here. Just know that he's been at this for a while now and he's rocked it all (Google or Bing him, but make a sandwich first).
Dwight and I have been following James Gurney's work since the Dinotopia series and his book covers first started appearing. Imagine our recent surprise when he sent us an email out of the blue saying how much he enjoyed o ... Listen | Listen in your iPhone | Download | View full cache |
Podcast Ep. 120: 'Sam I Am' - An Interview with Illustrator SAM WEBER Today's episode is indeed a conversation with Sam Weber and I (Swain) am really geeked that we finally got a chance to speak with him. Sam and I have traded emails for over a year now and in that time I've connected with his work in a big way.
I, like Sam, Dwight and many others, started off loving comic art and eventually broadened my scope to include other areas of the visual arts. Fine art, illustration, animation, concept art, etc. Sam's work today, while sophisticated as all get o ... Listen | Listen in your iPhone | Download | View full cache |
Podcast Ep. 119: JAKE PARKER and Missile Mouse: The Star CrusherJake Parker is a talented artist friend of ours with a new children's book out. It's called Missile Mouse: The Star Crusher, it's pubbed by Graphix, an imprint of Scholastic Books, and we dig it thoroughly. He kindly sent us a copy to preview before our interview with him and it's full of high adventure, sci-fi fun and life lessons.And even though it's a kid's book, Jake doesn't skimp at all on things like cool tech and alien character designs. The look an ... Listen | Listen in your iPhone | Download | View full cache |
Podcast Ep. 118: The P. CRAIG RUSSELL InterviewDwight and I have been fans of this man for forever and I don't care how much that statement dates all three of us. Craig's been brilliant from the word, "Go". Phillip Craig Russell is an Ohio native, studied art at the University of Cincinnati and has worked professionally in comic books since the mid '70s. He's known most for things like Kilraven, Elric, his opera adaptations like Wagner's The Ring of the Nibelung, and his collaborations w ...

Podcast Ep. 117: The HITCH Factory - SiDEBAR Talks to BRYAN HITCHToday's interview is with superstar artist and storyteller, Bryan Hitch. You know him from titles like The Authority, The Ultimates, Fantastic Four and Captain America: Reborn. We know him 'cause he gave us his phone number and said we could call (ha)! Our chat with Hitch covers his early days, artistic influences, some process stuff and many of the projects mentioned above.
Also discussed are his design work for both the Doctor Who television show and the ... Listen | Listen in your iPhone | Download | View full cache |
Podcast Ep. 116: WebComic Creator JAY POTTS and His 'World of Hurt'Dwight and I met Jay Potts at this year's Heroes Con and knew we would one day chat with him. Well, one day is today, folks. Jay writes and draws a strip called World of Hurt and it's the Internet's #1 Blaxploitation WebComic.For those who're either too young to remember or from outside the States, blaxploitation is a colloquialism that describes a certain period in American filmmaking during the '70s. It was the first time ever that black actors were cast as the le ... Listen | Listen in your iPhone | Download | View full cache |
Ep. 115: Power to the People - Concept Artist DERMOT POWER Comes to the 'NationDermot is referred to by some as a concept artist's artist. We're certain that's because not only do producers and directors who hire him love his work, but so do his peers.(Here at the 'Bar, we just call him a beastâthis dude is killin' it.)
As a matter of fact, his whole filmography is filled with ridiculous eye candy. Star Wars Episode II: Attack of the Clones, three of the Harry Potter movies, Batman Begins, Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, V for Vendett ... Listen | Listen in your iPhone | Download | View full cache |
Ep. 114: Spinning the Chamber with STUDIO REVOLVER"Man...who are these guys?" Glad you asked that question, 'Nation. We'll tell ya.Studio Revolver is a diverse collective of artists and creative types who share studio space here in Atlanta. We've known most of them, some in passing, some more personally, for forever. They're all good people, very talented and very focused on combining their individual strengths to make the whole stronger.
Other than talent, one of the things that makes Revolver unique is& ... Listen | Listen in your iPhone | Download | View full cache |
Ep. 113: STERLING HUNDLEY - The Illustrator and The Fine ArtistYouth, it is often said, is wasted on the young. In the case of today's guest, I gotta disagree. He's only 33 years old and as an illustrator, educator and now, fine artist, he has the accomplishments behind him of a man twice his age. Impressive.I'm thinking we first became acquainted with the name Sterling Hundley while trolling the Richard Solomon website. You know how it goesâyou see something that strikes you and sayâ"Okay, that person's style is pr ... Listen | Listen in your iPhone | Download | View full cache |
Ep. 112: Does ANDROID JONES Dream of Electric Sheep?With much respect to Phillip K. Dick, do prepare your limbic system for the art assault of Andrew Jonesâif ya can! My stalwart companion, Dwight, attended a ConceptArt Workshop back in 2005 and let's just say, he came back changed. For the better, of course. It was a totally immersive and communal experience for him, and one that really opened him up creatively.
Names like Coro Kaufman, Jon Foster, J.P. Targete and Andrew Jones got brought up a lot afterwards& ... Listen | Listen in your iPhone | Download | View full cache |
Ep. 111: A Sketchy Interview featuring Artist PETER DE SÃVEOkay, this time we really tried to color inside the lines, so to speak. We got the opportunity to interview a lauded and respected illustrator, Peter de SÃve, and wanted to play it sorta serious.I mean, this guy has been doing it for over 25 years, right? He paints covers for The New Yorker, Time, Newsweek, U.S. News & World Reportâyou know, the big ones.
He illustrated one of Mark Twain's short stories called A Murder, A Mystery and A Marriage back in 20 ... Listen | Listen in your iPhone | Download | View full cache |
Ep. 110: 'Bravo for ALEX TOTH' - Celebrating the Life and Art of a Comics Legend (Part II)Thanks for coming back for Part II of our tribute to Alex Toth. Alex was a giant in the comics and animation fields and deserves all the accolades we can give him. This second half features more audio from creators who either knew Alex personally or just loved his work from afar. They all speak honestly and straight from the heart, and it's really great stuff.Also in the mix today is Toth's eldest son, Eric Toth. I contacted Eric through the TothFans.com s ...

Ep. 109: 'Bravo for ALEX TOTH' - Celebrating the Life and Art of a Comics LegendHey All, Swain here.
I'm pretty sure my first exposure to Alex Toth was during his Warren days. My father was a butcher for 35 years and worked for a grocery store chain in Chicago called Del Farms. I remember sitting in the isles at Del, on the floor, thumbing through Creepy and Eerieâand loving them. Maybe later, I picked up some Silver Age DC stuff by Alex.
One I clearly recall was that Flash/Atom story from Action Comics where Flash gets tied down like Gull ... Listen | Listen in your iPhone | Download | View full cache |
Ep. 108: Dragon*Con Panel - "That's Illustration!" featuring MATT BUSCH, JASON PALMER and RANDY MARTINEZThree guys, one moderator and a room full of blood thirsty fansâhere's the tale of the tape!
Matt Busch, the 'Rock Star of Illustration', has created licensed art for Star Wars, done design work for TV shows like Nash Bridges and NY Undercover, and directed films, too. He also hangs out with real live rock stars like Kid Rock and System of a Down. Okay, I'm jealous, how 'bout you?!
Jason Palmer is an illustrator of epic proportions (hey, he does illustrations for ... Listen | Listen in your iPhone | Download | View full cache |
Ep. 107: Dragon*Con Panel - Home Town Heroes featuring MARK BROOKSTo be honest, Atlanta has such a thriving community of comic creators, the theme for this panel could go on forever. That said, it was cool to kick it off right with the talented Mr.Brooks.Mark Brooks gets mad fanboy love based on his dynamic charcaters and lush rendering style, kids. His resume is plastered with big selling titles (Dark Reign: Young Avengers, New X-men, Cable & Deadpool, Ultimate Spider-man). He's a comic artist and illustra ...

Ep. 106: Surrogates Creator ROBERT VENDITTI Comes to SiDEBAROnce again, my man Dwight brings something cool to the show. Nothing new, right? About six months back, he stumbled across a soon-to-be-released movie called Surrogates and got intrigued. It was an action-thriller set in the future that dealt with robots and murder, so it was an easy sell (we're both big sci-fi heads).After snooping a bit, he found out the film was based on a limited series comic that Top Shelf had put out in 2006. He also found out the writer of th ... Listen | Listen in your iPhone | Download | View full cache |
Ep. 105: The Art Nerds Catch Up with J.H. WILLIAMS IIII'm gonna refrain from referring to Jim "J.H." Williams III as J3reezy, although I did call him that once while talking to Dwight (oops). The man's artwork trancends such nonsense. Look at the design, look at the layoutâlook at the red! Lots of it!
But done for a reason, true believers. That's kind of Jim's thingâhe's always trying to push the graphic nature in the art, while staying true to the story. Moving the narrative along, as he puts it.

Ep. 104: 'Walk Your Path' - The Wisdom in the Words of Artist RUDY GUTIERREZâIf art is therapy,if art is to inspire,if art is a weapon,if it is medicine used to heal soul wounds,or if it makes one not feel alone in his or her visions,or if it serves as transportation to a higher self,then that is where I aspire to live everyday.â- Rudy Gutierrez
You can't deny that some people just seem to be destined to do what it is they do. Call it providence, call it serendipityâwhat have you. Rudy, with all of his training and self-determination, is very much one ... Listen | Listen in your iPhone | Download | View full cache |
'Devil's End' - Daredevil Artist MICHAEL LARK Talks Past, Present and FutureYou gotta give Michael Lark and Ed Brubaker credit where credit is due. They picked up their run on Dardevil right after Bendis and Maleev, and have done a stellar job over the last three years. Most creative teams don't stay on a book longer than six issues these days, let alone years. Kudos to these two gents and the Editors at Marvel for consistency and excellence. Daredevil's been in very capable hands...Me (Swain), being the art hound that I am, I was aware of Michael long be ... Listen | Listen in your iPhone | Download | View full cache |
Ep. 102: The Kids Gotta Have It - CHRIS BRUNNER & RICO RENZI of The Kickstand KidsSiDEBAR has gotten to know both of these guys pretty well over the last year or so. Rico, the colorist half of the duo, wrote us a complimentary note about the podcast and he and I (Swain) have been emailing each other ever since. We finally met in person and became buds at the 2008 Heroes Con.
Chris, we later found out, is a SCAD grad and the penciler/inker of the two. The images start with him, for the most part, and Rico's the guy who comes in and swoos ... Listen | Listen in your iPhone | Download | View full cache |
