This episode reminded me so much of why I fell in love witth animation and creativity. Brandon approaches his work with a frame of mind that I have nothing but respect for. He does not waste energy trying to chase the quality of his heero's and then beating himself up over falling short. Instead he enjoys where he is in the moment and just lets his artistic voice come through. A lot of us can not say the same, not if we are truly being honest.   Thank you for inspiring me Brandon!   Follow Brandon here: YouTube Channel: https://www.youtube.com/user/bmaniscool1   Instagram: @brandonhickscomics   _________________________________________________ Follow Drawn To  It Studios and our podcasts and film content here: YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/c/drawntoitpodcast Website: https://www.dtipodcast.com

My guests this episode are Roberto Williams and Charles Grant. Roberto is a life long BATMAN fan and this pushed him into the art of toy customization. Through the years he has hand crafted every tiny detail for his Legends of Gotham City diorama experience. We show off their work within the video! Several years ago he recruited fellow BATMAN fan Charles Grant to bring his expertise in VFX to make a more immersive experience. Charles handles the lighting and digital VFX for the shows, video promotions and interactive elements, such as a working bat computer! Growing Up in New York Roberto was not exposed to a celebrated geek community like we have in today's pop culture. His hobby of toy customization was well off the path most traveled during the 70's and 80's. However inspiration and perseverance kept him going and now his super detailed and immersive Legends of Gotham City diorama showcase is bringing in audience attention from all over. He does not charge admission, he does not sell his customization's...he only want's to share an engaging experience with people. In a world filled with polarizing points of view important protests for equality and paralyzing health mandates, it's nice to know someone is only looking to share a little joy through their art and is asking nothing in return. Once public gathering's are allowed again be sure to look for one of Roberto's showcases!

James Mullinger may be from south London and he may have had a successful career working for high end publishing companies like GQ but he now calls Saint John NB his home and is a voice and champion of Canadian talent and living. James left behind a world of success in publishing and took the plunge into stand up comedy and he has not looked back. When he isn't performing to sold out crowds globally he can be found working with his wife and art team on the next issue of their Atlantic Canadian Lifestyle Magazine "The Maritime Edit" ,which it my opinion is one of the highest quality magazines I have ever read! This magazine is produced with a small but 5 star talented team of industry pros and all from the comfort of their homes, it's unreal! James currently has not one but TWO comedy specials on Amazon Prime Almost Canadian: https://bit.ly/3eSF0qM Anything is Possible: https://bit.ly/2KDuqFY _______________ Follow him via the links below!
