The fine folks at Comics Coast to Coast interviewed me the other day. It was a fun conversation between me, Justin Thompson and Brian Dunaway, veering all over the road from influences to technique to advice for young cartoonists. Give a listen (HERE) and see what you think!

The latest edition of the Steve Ogden Braincast is up online. In this episode, “Delaying Tactics”, I talk about my story process and why I believe too much preproduction is a delaying tactic that can prevent you from creating Your Thing. Music by Tim Larkin.
The latest edition of the Steve Ogden Braincast is up online. In this episode, “Of Lost Robots and a Girl in London”, I talk about how Imogen Heap’s new album Ellipse and Amanita’s new game Machinarium strike a similar chord in me and why they are inspiring me right now. I also backtrack to the previous Braincast to add some thoughts about Motivation, and wax philosophical on the subject of How to be More Creative. Music by Tim Larkin.
I had an interesting conversation with Paul Caggegi a couple of weeks ago where we talked for about an hour. He in Australia and me in the US, we straddled the International Date Line and gabbed on… A little writing stuff, a little Moon Town stuff, life, the universe and everything. He’s released the conversation as a podcast episode for his excellent Process Diary.
This is the end of the line, folks – the final AnimWatch Podcast. The final part of my continuing series on How to Make Films the AnimWatch Way, and thoughts on what I’ve learned from running AnimWatch. Via con Dios, mi amigos! Featuring music by Tim Larkin.
The latest edition of the Steve Ogden Braincast is up online. In this episode, I talk about the release of my new comic short Cubicle Pigs and its first episode Commercial Art. I also talk about where the idea came from, the Super Bowl, Advertising, and EEEEvil Corporations.
Tom Racine (the best damn radio voice off the radio) of Tall Tales Features does a periodic podcast called Tall Tales Radio. This week, it features the talented Tom Dell’Aringa and me. We talk about our occasional collaboration on Dell’Aringa’s Marooned, a little about our music, our process, our story approach, our art, and our projects.
And there’s music – there’s a song by Tom Dell’Aringa and an exclusive never-before-released music track from me and Jim Nystrom called Your Miracle Man. World Premiere! Given all that, it’s a good hour or more. Get it HERE.
Got a long trip coming up? Could be good listening…
