Not only is he an accomplished Letterer, but Rob Jones is also a writer and Rob stayed up way too late to chat with me about the current Kickstarter campaign for Thunder Child #2 which is on KS until October 3rd. Rob introduces me to the Jeff Wayne musical version of War of the Worlds and after listening, as someone that's a fan of musicals and the combined talents of Meatloaf and Jim Steinman, I was shocked I hadn't heard of this before. Rob and I have a fantastic conversation about how he got into comics and why he wanted to write (with Matthew Hardy) a comic about the HMS Thunder Child, wonderfully illustrated by Kevin Castaniero, colored by Simon Gough, and edited by Fred McNamara.  Learn more about your ad choices.

From South Caroline, USA, my lovely friend Karla Fripp is joining 'Joke's Joyful Journey'. Karla and I have collaborated on her 'Meet The Maker' series and now I'm thrilled to have her as a guest on the show and work together again. Karla loves anything creative and she tries out anything she's interested in; from pottery to block printing. She is an Illustrator and Graphic Designer and also does hand-lettering. In this episode, we chat about her big, scary and hairy goals, starting many projects and finishing them, multitasking (or not) and what it's like to get overfocused. Karla is familiar with having many ideas, getting bored quickly and 'all the syndromes'. Other topics we touch on are social media, 'scrolling' and the creative community. You can find Karla on Instagram (@karlafrippcreative) and her website (karlafrippcreative.com) where you can find all the amazing things she creates, like her freshly published 'Working Robots' Colouring book. Her quote is so wonderful and we would love to see you get creative with it: "Be positive, patient and persistent". Listen to the episode to hear all about it! Enjoy :)

In this week's episode, Alice and Jessamy sit down with the incredibly warm, funny and open type queen Eliza Svikulis. In this incredible heartfelt chat, we discuss the pitfalls of authenticity, clout and credibility, working with different needs and processes, pricing, how confidence isn't permanent - regardless of skill and experience - it's contextual, using your skills to love people, poo on the floor, being humbled by the universe, grief, motherhood, being a Mum without your Mum, childbirth, pride, the difference between confidence and self-assurance, the permanence of death, finding ways to connect to people we've lost, art as an outlet (and finding the time to do it), finding comfort, seeking balance between creating from the heart and commercial viability, Chicken Bum Takeaway, making memories, and legacy.

You've heard her name mentioned in countless past Dear Watchers episodes so we were thrilled to sit down with legendary comic book letterer Janice Chiang to discuss her amazing life and career including her activist beginnings, her long tenure at Marvel, the role of a letterer and how it has changed in the digital age, breaking ground as a woman and Chinese-American in the comic book industry, how to stay current 40 years into a career and her current work with Sandy King and John Carpenter's Storm King Productions. Ep. 91 Creator Interview with Janice Chiang (*this version corrected the audio issue the first download had)Janice has over 40 years in the comic business, and has certainly had a significant impact on our listeners  through her work on over 2000 books. Janice is a letterer and sometimes colorist who has worked primarily at Marvel starting in the early 1980s. She has worked on thousands of issues, including for Marvel: Iron Man, Ghost Rider, Alpha Flight, Conan, Defenders, Ka-Zar, Rom, Thor, Shang-Chi, Quasar, and of course the book that was an inspiration for us - What If. She has also worked with Stan Lee's Pow Entertainment, Dark Horse, TokyoPop, Archie, plus a lot of work with Storm King, and for DC the Super Hero Girls book series, some early Milestone books, Batman, Impulse, Superman, and the recent Lazarus Planet one-shots. Two graphic novels she worked on were in the Four-Word Indie Awards chosen out of 2500 submissions, so Janice is on a hit streak! And wait that's not all: she has been a community organizer!

Sometimes one decision can completely change the trajectory of your life! That's what happened to Natalia Cardona Puerta when she decided to follow her dreams of being an illustrator and uproot her life in Colombia.In this episode, I chat with Colombian illustrator Natalia Cardona Puerta who creates colorful and playful illustrations inspired by her ‘90s upbringing, her love for the outdoors, and her innermost feelings.Natalia “never in a million years” expected to leave Colombia, but after graduating with a Bachelor's degree in Industrial Design she took a break and realized she wanted to reconnect with her creative voice. Eventually, her mom encouraged her to pursue a Master's degree and it all happened very quickly from there. One thing lead to the next and she was on a one-way flight to Georgia to pursue a Master's degree in Illustration at the Savannah College of Art and Design.Nowadays, Natalia is going through the permanent residency process here in the U.S. to be able to live and work here long term. The legal process has been slow and frustrating. She feels it slowed down her post-grad momentum but she is taking this time to ”plant a lot of seeds” that are sure to blossom in the future.Tune into this episode to hear Natalia and I talk about growing up in Bogota, why she decided to immigrate to the U.S., and how she developed her illustration style after graduating.Listen to the episode on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, Amazon Music, Stitcher, iHeartRadio, or on your favorite podcast platform.EPISODE LINKS:Listener Survey: Take the survey to help me improve Season 2!Guest Links: Check out Natalia's Instagram and Portfolio.Host Links: Check out Fabiola Lara on Instagram, YouTube, and TikTok. Topics Covered:Living a sheltered life in turbulent Bogota in the early 90sRejecting a fine art career path for an undergraduate degree in Industrial DesignPursuing a Master's in Illustration at SCAD after learning about the program a few week priorThe difficulties of being an artist in the US pursuing a Permanent Resident Card (greencard)The impacts of not being able to work in the US as an artistThe pros and cons of receiving an art school educationHer current creative routine after graduatingFinding a better work-life balance after graduationDeveloping her personal illustration style and tailoring her portfolioThe feeling of languishing during slow creative seasonsWorking with an illustration agent for editorial and publishing projectsCompleting a large-scale mural for a dream clientWorking with The Washington Post on an editorial illustration

If you feel that running an online shop isn't a solid long-term plan, today's guest is about to blow your mind! In this episode, I chat with Cuban-American illustrator Danny Brito, who has run a successful and sustainable online shop for over a decade.Danny originally went to college for Graphic Design, but eventually dropped out to pursue illustration independently after “the universe told” him he wasn't good at academics. Once he realized you could sell prints of your illustrations instead of only originals, he opened an Etsy store and has kept it running ever since.After 38,000 online sales, Danny has learned to design products as he goes, as opposed to developing entire collections, in order to get a sense of how his customers receive the new merch. With this method, he's been able to create a variety of products that make his online shop more sustainable in the long term.Tune into this episode to hear Danny and I chat about his experience as an alt-Cuban in Miami, the intricacies of Cuban politics, how he's made his online shop sustainable, and exactly how he feels about online art theft.Listen to the episode on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, Amazon Music, Stitcher, iHeartRadio, or on your favorite podcast platform.Guest Links:Danny's online shop, Instagram, YouTube, and TikTokFree Download:Listeners of the podcast can get a free, undated weekly and monthly planner inspired by the show from our website here.Follow Host Fabiola Lara between episodes:InstagramYoutubeTikTokTopics Covered:Growing up in Hialeah aka “Little Cuba”How his family immigrated from CubaFacing culture shock when you leave MiamiTrying to fit in with American “white” cultureReconnecting with his Cuban roots with his Cuban boyfriendHis experience of losing his connection to the Spanish languageAvoiding racism by staying in the Miami bubbleThe politics of Cubans in MiamiWhy he chose to drop out of Graphic Design schoolHow he started his merch career with custom painted tote bags for clients from LivejournalHow he started an Etsy shop in a different era (2009)Fundraising with sticker sales and matching donations for charitiesDealing with artistic theftWhether he thinks art theft is ultimately preventable in an online eraStruggling with imposter syndrome as an artistHow finding community can help you cope with imposter syndromeRolling with the punches when it comes to the ever-changing social media trends

Did you ever feel like you didn't fit in with the Latinx kids at your school? This week's guest experienced just that after moving from Tijuana to San Diego for her Sophomore year of high school.In this episode, I chat with Mexican illustrator and designer Itzel Islas who's worked with brands like Nickelodeon, GoFundMe, and for her own brand @YAYITZEL.Itzel never wanted to leave Tijuana, but now she's so thankful her parents made that decision when she was just in high school. She had a hard time adjusting to American life to the point where even the automatic sprinklers made her mad, but now she can't imagine her life being any other way. Thankfully, since they moved right over the border to San Diego, she's always managed to feel very connected to her Mexican heritage and grew up constantly going back and forth across the border.Nowadays, Itzel is a self-employed graphic designer and illustrator who creates amazing bilingual products inspired by her Mexican culture. Despite originally having doubts about creating products in two languages — and sometimes even in Spanglish — now she recognizes it's the best decision she could've made.Tune into this episode to hear Itzel and I talk all about her artsy emo days in high school, how her mom helped her discover the field of Graphic Design, and how she decided to create bilingual products to stay true to herself.Listen to the episode on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, Amazon Music, Stitcher, iHeartRadio, or on your favorite podcast platform. Guest Links: Itzel's online shop, portfolio, Instagram, and TikTok! Host Links: Follow Fabiola Lara on Instagram, TikTok, and Youtube! Free Download: Listeners of the podcast can get a free, undated weekly and monthly planner inspired by the show from our website here. Topics Covered:How Itzel's family decided to move to the United States to help her and her siblings pursue a college educationFinding her high school clique as an Artsy Mexican girl from TijuanaThe diversity of people within Latin AmericaHow her parents didn't want her to pursue being a Makeup ArtistHow her mom lead her to Graphic DesignPaying for and attending college, and whether she recommends it nowDeciding to go freelance from a full-time, in-house jobThe stress and anxiety she developed from working in a toxic workplaceBalancing work and personal life as a freelance graphic designerHow she launched her online shop YAYITZELHer experience creating bilingual productsGoing viral and her advice for artists on TikTokLaunching a Patreon to create stable income after leaving her in-house gigHer dream commissions under YAYITZEL

In this episode, I chat with Afro-Colombian cartoonist and illustrator Arantza Peña Popo who's created comics for publications such as The New Yorker, title slides for Cartoon Network, and editorial illustrations for Refinery29.

These days, she is reconnecting with her Colombian culture through Salsa music, even if that means her mom is technically “winning.”Listen to the episode on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, Amazon Music, Stitcher, iHeartRadio, or on your favorite podcast platform.Books Mentioned in this Episode:One for the money by Janet EvanovichSmile by Raina TelgemeierAnya's Ghost by Vera BrosgolThis One Summer by Jillian TamakiThrough the Woods by Emily CarrollOther Links:Junior High by Faye OrloveOblivion by GrimesTiny Splendor Risograph PrintingGuest InfoCheck out Arantza''s Instagram  and Portfolio!Special OfferListeners of the podcast can get a free, undated weekly and monthly planner inspired by the show from our website here.Follow Host Fabiola Lara between episodes:InstagramYoutubeTikTokTopics Covered:How her family immigrated to the US from ColombiaGrowing up in an immigrant and refugee communityGrowing up bookish and drawing book covers for funParticipating in the Helen Ruffin Reading BowlHow people question her existence as an Afro-ColombianaThe struggle to identify with the larger Latinx communityThe strife between her American and Colombian cultureHow she got into making comics after being introduced to more complex comicsHer recent solo show “The World is Looking For You” at Junior High LAHow Risograph printing translates the digital into analogFeeling conflicted about fine art and comics cultureHow she let go of the “elite academic white gaze” for her workNavigating oversharing in her own autobiographical comicsWinning the Doodle for Google competition in 2019 

This week's guest believes making money from art isn't harder than any other career. In this episode, I chat with Cuban-Bahamian artist and author Reyna Noriega who's worked with clients such as Apple, Old Navy, and The New Yorker. Reyna and I talk about the complexities of being Afro-Latina, why NFTs are dumb, and why she ultimately decided to leave teaching art to focus on being an artist.Reyna initially tried to tread cautiously into freelancing by taking a creative director role at a startup, but quickly realized it wasn't for her — so she jumped into freelancing earlier than expected. After just a few months, she was able to stabilize her income and move out of her parents' house as a full-time artist. Now, she creates illustrations for brands, runs an online shop with the help of her mom, and writes her poems as a form of self-reflection.In this episode, Reyna shares her journey to becoming a full-time artist, the growing pains of running an online shop, and how she's now working on creating a legacy for herself and her family.Listen to the episode on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, Amazon Music, Stitcher, iHeartRadio, or on your favorite podcast platform.Topics Covered:Her passion and love for her hometown of MiamiGentrification and the rising cost of housing in MiamiThe struggles of being Afro-LatinaWhy she prefers the word LatinxImpulsively pursuing Psychology at FIUThe reality of being a teacher in the public school systemWhy she ultimately left teaching for a creative careerHow she decided to take the leap to freelancingWhy she loves being an independent and freelance artistThe growing pains of running an online shopCreating art beyond social media in order to create a legacy for herselfWhy NFTs aren't real and are cash grabs for artistsThe process of writing her collection of poems, “In My Cocoon”Her experience self-publishing projectsHer upcoming projects in 2021Her amazing ReelGuest InfoCheck out Reyna's Instagram, Portfolio, and Shop!Special OfferListeners of the podcast can get a free, undated weekly and monthly planner inspired by the show from our website here.Follow Host Fabiola Lara between episodes:InstagramYoutubeTikTok

Welcome folks to another fine episode of the Pencil Pushers Podcast. I'm your humble host, Mike Rosado and we have got another gem today with creative mastermind, Lauren Hom. Lauren is a highly prolific illustrator, lettering artist, foodie, and more with a massive social media following that's hit meteoric heights through her persistence to pave new paths of creative expression beyond her lettering style, and in turn, invited others to do the same.What I love about her story is that she works from her gut - never afraid to listen to her intuitive muse, even at the cost of potential “failure”. She pulls from the paths of the likes of a Picasso, one who's never satisfied with status quo, and not relying on style to define her as an artist in movement - and she works from a state of passion and curiosity that is refreshing in an era where it can be tough to pull away from what people know of your work. I found Lauren to be an absolute delight and a true dynamo who's in her element and full of pearls of wisdom.  highly recommend you slide on over to her instagram @homsweethom to be a part of her community of creatives while you sit back, relax and enjoy our chat with Lauren.   The Pencil Pushers Podcast is a celebration of the hand-drawn arts. I'll be interviewing friends and idols in illustration, animation, comic-art, and more. - Mike Rosado  Post production and editing by Trujillo Media Additional music provided by Epidemic Sound
