Do you ever feel as if the task at hand is so overwhelming, you just know you're gonna suck? And suck HARD? Do you ever wish there could be something... I dunno, like a bottle... that could make you so awesome, that you would be like, the world's best at... whatever?!
Sounds like you need to listen to today's interview.
I recently caught up with professional Toronto illustrator: Andy Belanger, creator, writer and artist for Bottle of Awesome which you should all check out over at Zuda Comics.
Andy's career is diverse and extraordinary. Apart from drawing some killer comics of his own devising, he has created take-away comicbook storyboards for films, pitched children's comic ideas for kid's magazines, and even illustrated custom covers. You can see much of his work at: www.andybelanger.com or over at Transmission X which features Raising Hell.
Also in the podcast: feedback! You guys are awesome. I tried to address many of the issues folks emailed me about, as well as give thanks for all the praise.
Next week: the usual discussion point and project updates. Cheers for now, guys!

I finally took the plunge...and just decided to listen to it with the top play button (but I really wanted it on my hard disc so I could listen to it again at a future date)...I have to say it was a great one, very funny and very interesting as I also too work at home. This guys ideas are great and go into some territory I’ve talked about in some things I’ve written on the internet about how you can create something new and fresh if you mix your genres (his Zombies + Mafia story)...you do a great, great job with these interviews Paul.
Cheers, Michael! I gotta say, speaking to folks like Andy really get me all inspired to keep writing/producing stuff. I hope to get him back on sometime in the future! Really glad you get stuff out of these. I aim to get artists to share a bit more than their favorite colors, or their dog's name. So far, I don't know a single pet's name. Not a one. Working?
