If you've been in a movie theater within the past 15 years, chances are you've walked by this man's art. Paul Shipper is one of the most sought after movie poster artists in the world. Search his name on google & some of the most instantly-recognizable images from films will pop up. Movies such as Star Wars, Avengers, Indiana Jones, Ready Player One... the list goes on and continues to grow. Continuing in the tradition of artists such as Drew Struzan, Norman Rockwell, and JC Leyndecker before him, Paul Shipper creates art that is somehow both photo-realistic and fantastical in how it's received. Here, he talks about his formative years as an artist, his process, and how he approaches client work. He also gives us a quick tour of his studio (which you can see in the video version of this episode).

Jim Zub is mostly known for his work as a comic book writer. He's had a longer run on IDW's "Dungeons & Dragons" than any other writer; currently, he's writing "Avengers Tech-On", a fun Marvel x Bandai series. He's written on Marvel's "Thunderbolts", "Uncanny Avengers", and the main "Avengers" book; his creator-owned titles "Skullkickers" and "Wayward" have met critical acclaim, winning YALSA and Harvey awards, respectively. Less known is that Jim is also a professor of animation at Toronto's Seneca College, providing support and inspiration for new generations of visual artists. Overall, Jim loves what he does, both as a writer and a professor. How did Jim's journey bring him to these two respectable positions? Interestingly, Jim tells us that where he ended up isn't necessarily where he planned to be when starting out. In this interview, we explore what Jim has learned along the way. Then, given his qualifications, we ask him the question: Is school necessary? The answer may surprise you.

In this interview, I talk about the decision to continue with YouTube, even though the year has been a tough one. If you've been on my main channel, you'll know why. Here, with my friend Marc Michael, I talk about the plans moving forward and what motivated the decision to move ahead. In the world of art, I've had four different career paths over 20 years: comic book artist, VFX artist, college teacher, and YouTuber. It's been quite a ride! Through this Podcast, I'd like to share the lessons that myself and other artists have gained in our careers to motivate and inspire your own success. Thank you for joining us!
