UFOs have been present earlier than most suspect. There are military ties and even some conspiracy theories.Saucers of The North provides a linear examination of Alaskan history based on the perspective of reported UFO activity. The social and cultural impact of UFOs have turned ufology into an area of interest and even the base of some fringe sciences. Alaska is known to have a high amount of UFO reports per capita. Saucers of the North expands on that and dives deep.Learn about:Native oral traditions that have extraterrestrial tiesPre-1947 sightings of strange things in the skyPost-1947 local sightings and military projects like Project PinballAnimal mutilation in AlaskaThe JAL 1628 UFO incident that took place on Nov. 17, 1986Conspiracy theories relating to UFO activityRecent UFO activityBioJessie has always been a creative person with a passion for writing, science, history, illustrating, painting, music, film, the paranormal, and cooking/baking.

“Jeg skriver jo bare det som jeg ville håbe andre forfattere ville have skrevet, for at det bliver fedt at tegne.” Jan Kjær er tidligere AD assistent på reklamebureau og arbejdet med konceptudvikling for bla. Lego. Han uddannede sig siden hen på Joe Kubert School i USA og har arbejdet som storyboarder i Hollywood, før han sammen med Merlin P. Mann skabte Taynikma-universet. Siden har han udgivet et hav af bøger under eget navn i spændingsfeltet mellem manga og fantasy, herunder serien om Nomerne. Vi snakker om rejsen fra det faste arbejde, til i dag at være en af de mest anerkendte skabere af børnebogsuniverser herhjemme. Og selvom det kan virke som en gimmick, at udgive bøger med skumsværd med, så er det alt sammen baseret på en overordnet mission om at skabe læselyst. “Jeg er simpelthen opfostret med den mentalitet, med det man laver skulle have mere end et lag, mere end bare underholdningsværdien. Hele det at arbejde med Lego, har totalt nærmest defineret mit forfatterskab."

Welcome to the No BS Marketing Show with Dave Mastovich featuring Hip Hop Cartoonist Ed Piskor!RANTSummer-the laid back mindset. Ever wonder how much productivity suffers for companies? Oftentimes people use the "I'll be on vacation" line to excuse why they can't get to something before, during, or after their vacation. But marketers can be productive even while on the beach! It's market segmentation at it's finest.The No BS Marketing Show, Audible is offering a free download with a 30-day trial to give you the opportunity to check out their service. You can download it for free today.This week's guest is Ed Piskor, a writer, designer, creative, artist, and hip hop historian. He is the author of the Hip Hop Family Tree, Volumes 1, 2, 3, and soon to be released in August, 4. Piskor grew up in the Pittsburgh neighborhood of Homestead. In the 1990s, the area was full of gangs so instead of getting involved, he stayed indoors developing his drawing skills. Although his parents involved him in some local art classes, his comic skills are largely self-taught. Growing up in an environment of hip hop, Piskor has a unique ability within the comic world to create his one-of-a-kind Hip Hop Family Tree books.He first gained popularity by his publications on Boingboing.net which went viral. Rather than research, Piskor considers the compilation of the history in his books "reading for pleasure"."Comics is a medium that rewards obsessive compulsive behavior and we indulge in that as cartoonists. You can't turn that off.""Over the years of watching rap music videos or hearing weird guest spots on different rap records, all these questions popped into my head. In an archaeological sort of way I would dig deep to find those answers. As a fan, as a nerd.""During my 20s I would strike out and fail and end up back in my Mom's walk-in closet until I got my foot in."Piskor's work is considered a "journalistic piece". He "followed the 'journalistic code of ethics' when putting this together intuitively just because he wanted to have an extremely comprehensive piece of work." He has not had one notable rapper say that what he's written is untrue."You would think that if you made a billion dollars you would be above that flattery...But it's not true, my phone number is within a network of extremely famous rappers...When I get a phone call from one of these rappers or a number I don't recognize...My heart beats out of my chest when I see that more than when I'm hanging out with a pretty girl I'm waiting for a call from."Ice Cube shared a comic strip of him meeting Dr. Dre by Piskor on social media."The reads are so easy and almost funny to read because it's all in comic book form," Dave Mastovich.Grand Master Flash holds the cover of Volume 1."Volumes 1 & 2 are very historic. If you were really into music you knew and heard a bit about these artists. But the average person doesn't really know Afrika Bambaataa other than Jay Z mentioning it," Dave Mastovich.Volume 2:Run DMC is on Volume 3... "Starting to get into the records that everybody knows," Piskor.Mentors and InspirationA really great art teacher in middle school that always shows up to Piskor's events, even today. "She recognized my craft and just let me go.""Really it's just environment that is my inspiration, because I came from some really extreme spaces. I never want to go back to that and I know I have to keep working hard to not go back."He went to art school for one year after high school. Joe Kubert School of Comic Art. The value for him was being around other people with the same goals and of high talent.

This Monday Graphic Policy Radio welcomes first time guest Steve Lieber to talk about his comic career and his current comic series The Fix published by Image Comics. Released last Wednesday, The Fix has sold out and is going back to print. The series is a story of "crooked cops, scheming mobsters, and corrupt politicians that run things - and the sex toy that can bring them all down." Lieber will join hosts Brett and Elana to discuss the new series which has been praised by fans and critics alike. Steve Lieber studied art at the Joe Kubert School. His comics have been published by DC, Marvel, Dark Horse, Image, Valiant and many other publishers, but he’s best known for his work on Whiteout, a graphic novel adapted as a feature film, and Superior Foes of Spider-Man, a cult favorite published by Marvel. His current project is The Fix at Image comics. His various projects have received nine Eisner Award nominations, and he won the Eisner for Best Limited Series for Whiteout Volume 2: Melt. Steve’s a founding member of Periscope Studio, the largest studio of comic book artists in North America. He lives in Portland, Oregon with his wife Sara Ryan. We want to hear from you!

May 6, 2010 - Joe Kubert, creator of our Book of the Month for May, Dong Xoai, Vietnam 1965, has been working in comics since before his voice changed. He's seen the industry in all its various forms, writing and drawing comics like Tor and Our Army at War, with Sgt. Rock. More recently, he found acclaim with his graphic novels Fax from Sarajevo and Yossel: April, 19, 1943. He also started the Joe Kubert School of Cartoon and Graphic Art to train young comics artists for work in the world comics. Today, at 83 years old, he's still working, still drawing, and knows how lucky he is for it. Josh Flanagan had a conversation with Joe about his career and his new graphic novel.
