After a long hiatus, Surviving Creativity returns. Scott catches up with Brad and Cory to find out what they've been up to for the last three years, and drills down with Brad about breaking into "smut" comics.

A quick clip to tease the return of the Surviving Creativity Podcast

Longtime listeners of Surviving Creativity will be familiar with our 5 Question Interview format and some may even remember several years ago when we hit ECCC and spoke with creators at their booths! We've taken those 5Q Interviews and put some of our favorites together into this episode. So travel with us now, deep into the creative psyche of our good friends: Dylan Meconis - www.dylanmeconis.com Antony Johnston - www.antonyjohnston.com Laura Hudson - www.laurahudson.me Meredith McClaren - www.meredithmcclaren.tumblr.com Frank Gibson - www.tumblr.beckyandfrank.com Joelle Jones - www.joellejones.com

Christmas finally has a positive effect on sales, and it’s fun to go to work when people want to buy comics! There is a brand new reason we’re excited to stay in our current location (if we can). Marvel is stealth-cancelling a bunch of titles. Some Marvel Legacy titles we really like. Is Dan Slott leaving Amazing Spider-Man? Who can replace him? “Surviving Creativity” is a great podcast. We sure wish we could sell statues and more comic-themed merchandise. Customer requests at the Holidays.

Last week Patreon announced some questionable changes to their fee structure. The user response involved dropped pledges, misinformation, and collectively losing their $h!t on social media. Patreon called it off and Surviving Creativity is here to give both sides an earful.

The Surviving Creativity crew has returned, and we're here to save the Interwebs! We know, we know, the Marvel thing is weird. We'll dive-in deep next week... assuming the internet is still here and we're not blocked by your local ISP. Yeah, let's deal with that net neutrality problem first.

Art is getting an idea and doing something Amazing with it! (http://www.advanceyourart.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/07/GuigarHeader.jpg) Brad Guigar has been creating a daily comic strip for over 15 years. “Evil Inc“ (http://www.evil-inc.com) runs Monday-through-Saturday on the Web, and it also appears in front of nearly 100,000 newspaper readers every weekday. Evil Inc is a corporation that is run by super-villains by super-villains. The CEO (Chief Evil Operator) is Evil Atom, a Silver-Age bad guy who discovered that he could do more evil if he did it “legally.” Guigar is considered by many to be a webcomics pioneer, having self-published his daily strips and other comics on the Web since February 2000. He has been nominated for the highest honor in comics — the Eisner award — for “Phables,” a year-and-a-half-long weekly series of comics about life in Philadelphia, and he does a weekly single-panel comic, “Courting Disaster,” about sex, love and relationships. AUTHOR He has published over two dozen collections of his comics, and he is the author of three books on the subject of cartooning: “The Everything Cartooning Book,” “How To Make Webcomics,” and “The Webcomics Handbook.” TEACHER He operates a daily tutorial-and-advice site, Webcomics.com, and he teaches Arts Entrepreneurship and Sequential Art (Comics) at Hussian School of Art. PODCASTER He co-hosts a podcast about making a living as a creative professional — Surviving Creativity. His second podcast, “Hey Comics — Kids!” is recorded with his two sons, Alex (12) and Max (9), during their drive to school. SPEAKER He is a gifted speaker, having given rousing presentations on topics ranging from comics-on-the-Web to general creativity. He has been a featured panelist at comic conventions and trade shows, and he offered his thoughts on independent Web publishing at Harvard University. And earlier this summer, he premiered his stand-up comedy at Philadelphia’s Helium Comedy Club. Guigar.com offers samples from these appearances. Brad lives in Philadelphia with his wife, Caroline, and two boys.

What could be better than a candid conversation about comic porn, coupled with an extremely uncomfortable Brad Guigar? All of that plus an earful of this week's guest, that's what. Surviving Creativity is pleased to welcome to the show our favorite Erotic Artist and the purveyor of all things sex-positive, from ohjoysextoy.com, Erika Moen! WARNING: NSFW Unless you're some sort of independent contractor or self-employed entrepreneur who makes your own rules, works wherever you want, and can listen to whatever you please. NOBODY IS THE BOSS OF YOU!

The Surviving Creativity crew is back from another long convention run, and we've brought Steve Hamaker with us to talk about a brand new show we attended in Columbus, OH. This of course leads us into the curation of conventions, artists getting pumped, and collecting AOL discs. All in all, another thrilling episode of Surviving Creativity!

Creators are in a tizzy about Orphaned Works, but most folks don't truly understand what they are or how they affect copyright. Thankfully for the Surviving Creativity crew our ace legal eagle, Katie Lane, has agreed to come on the show and sort us out. Assuaged your fears fine Creators, Lord Voldemort isn't coming for your copyright.

Since the beginning of time creators have been signing contracts that they shouldn't, but who's to blame? The companies writing these bad deals? The creators signing on the dotted line? Six of one half-dozen of the other? With manga publisher and notorious bad contract giver Tokyopop coming back on the scene it's time the Surviving Creativity crew does some educating! Are you a creative looking for business advice? As mentioned in this episode, you'll find no-one better than our lawyer, Katie Lane!

There are butts in the air and everyone is getting angry on this week's Surviving Creativity, so we thought we'd invite our friend Steve Hamaker to throw some fuel on the fire! With all this technology around us, how exactly do you speak out about something without publicly shaming someone? Also, Brad's got another crackerjack idea that's going to change the world!

Famed Fantasy F'Author Sam Sykes joins the Surviving Creativity crew to discuss the ongoing debate surrounding the Hugo Awards. The Hugo is arguably the most prestigious award in the science fiction & fantasy writing sphere and authors up in arms after vote lobbyists claimed many of this year's nominations. Swords leave their scabbards, laser blasts are fired, Asimov says 'hello'. It's another week of Surviving Creativity!

There's some serious drama this week in the creatosphere and no group is more qualified or more prepared to take on these issues than the Surviving Creativonauts! We go full hashtag into the Batgirl cover controversy, think deeply and talk loudly about the harassment of Val D'Orazio, and get personal with Scott on his experience with clinical anxiety. It's a rough road but we'll ride it together on this week's Surviving Creativity.

It's US ♡ Canadia in this all out comic love-fest! The Surviving Creativity crew is joined this week by award winning Canadian cartoonist Scott Chantler. What's the difference between the book and direct market? Did you know your TV is listening to you? Also, milk comes in bags in Canadia... BAGGED MILK!

Continuing last weeks conversation on conventions Brad, Scott, and Cory talk conventions from an exhibitors standpoint. As more cons pop up across the world sales are dropping. Who's to blame? Is it adapt or die? Did those hellion cosplayers ruin it all?! Get your carnival out of my convention or bring on the geeks!? We cover the gamut and solve all the worlds problems on this weeks Surviving Creativity!

We're joined this week by Emerald City Comicon (ECCC) founder Jim Demonakos and ReedPOP Global VP Lance Fensterman. With the announcement that ECCC would be joining the ReedPOP family question abound and we're here to get some answers! Who is ReedPOP? What do they want with ECCC's Minions? WILL THE PRICE OF SOFT PRETZELS GO UP AT THE FOOD COURT?! It's hard-hitting investigative podcasting on Surviving Creativity.

We're joined this week by the only cartoonist who could ever be mistaken for Matthew Quigley, Mr. Chris Schweizer. We're talking Critics and Criticism: how it affects the creative process, the creator to critic relationship, and the future of criticism. Also, Guigar get's "skymalled" and the whole crew goes full Mamet. Guard your earholes, it's another Surviving Creativity!

Jack is back! Our first, and arguably favorite, guest joins us again to talk about what's happened to Patreon. Specifically the fifteen million dollars they just acquired in Series A funding! What does this mean for Patreon, the site, the users, and the creators? What does it mean for Jack?! Is this the future of all new media business? We ask these questions and many more in this weeks Surviving Creativity!

It's a battle of the titans and Brad, Scott, & Cory here to officiate... from our armchairs. Cory does his best to dispel the Amazon/Hachette contract debate, Scott Hulks-out (© & ™ Marvel/Disney) on the Jack Kirby estate, and Brad flies a helicopter. It's another gripping episode of Surviving Creativity!

It's a double sized Surviving Creativity in which we spend half the episode singing Spanish Flea, half reminiscing about the NCS, and half talking about the Billy Ireland Cartoon Art Library. That's right, an episode so big it's got three halves! Dave Kellett's "The Freeing of the Comics" Lecture: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JzRival4atI Creepy Anti-Cable Commercials from the 1970's: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QIgZHZpiq1U Delve.tv Video Essays: http://delve.tv/essays/

Off the cuff conversation this week about reporting gone awry, conventions, the relative attractiveness of seventy year old women, and which bond men we'd kiss. All and all, it's a pretty solid week for Surviving Creativity.

ComiXology & Net Neutrality? OH MY! It's been a big couple of weeks in the new media world. ComiXology was sold to Amazon who promptly removed the in-app purchasing from Apple devices, and there's another fight to maintain Net Neutrality on Capital Hill. What does it all mean?! Who will save us!? Don't worry, the Surviving Creativity gang is here to save the day... or at least talk about it for the hour and a half.

In this episode of Surviving Creativity, Scott Kurtz and special guest Steve Hamaker call Brad Guigar to discuss a news item in which an editorial cartoonist in Guigar's home town of Philadelphia is named in a defamation lawsuit. It's an interesting discussion of Philly politics that quickly detours into Baltimore's chief export (Murder), HBO's "The Wire," getting food at cons, getting propositioned at cons, tragedies such as peanut allergies and The Herblock documentary, convention pranks and the best way to end a conversation.

We're only three episodes in and already Surviving Creativity needs a lawyer. Fortunately, Katie Lane is here to save the day! Katie walks us through the basics on contract negotiation, © vs ™, and we look at some recent case studies form entertainment news.
