Rough Sketch Podcast

We were contacted by Oscar Osario a writer from Peru who has been busy working on a comic all about a writer looking for an idea and dealing with ADHD. We chatted about Oscar leaving his corporate job, the state of comics in Peru and his enthusiasm for writing stories about real people.   We thank Oscar for his time, patience and the really interesting chat we had with him. Check out the images of our weird magical sheep story on our social media.

Logan Rogers from Cloakroom Comics got in touch with us to tell us all about the Tales From The Cloakroom Vol 2, an upcoming Kickstarter that should be releasing in May. We sat down with them and fellow editor Jason Holtzman for a chat about the project, how the team got together over Scott Snyders' Our Best Jackett substack and the upcoming appearances they have at C2E2.   We then created a pirate DJ who was ready to dominate the seas with their beats, all the while wearing a comedy ship as a head in a similar form to Deadmau5. Just listen to the episode to find out more.

Who would have thought that a Podcast exploring the crossover between theater and table top RPGs was a thing that Chris needed but turns out it was. When he found the podcast via Twitter he found it equal parts intriguing, delightful, informative and slightly confusing but it's now on his "regular listen" list. We are delighted that the cast came onto our show and created stuff with us. We thank them for taking the time to explain a few things and dive into creation.

We are joined by Dan Tyrie and Karl Dudás from the Explorers of Elsewhere Youtube channel and The Tavern Between Dimensions Podcast, both of which are creators in their own right. We talk to them about what makes a good DM, what makes a good story and juggling time between their passions, hobbies and full-time jobs. We then roll some dice and attempt a bit of a Christmas story that pairs robots with Die Hard and Danny Devito as an unexpected guest appearance.

It's rare that we get a chance to chat with Improvisors but we aim to take the chance whenever we can. Jorin has been doing improv since 1991 and Chris had the opportunity to take two classes with him at the Robin Hood International Improv festival in Nottingham in September 2022. He too the opportunity to ask him tto come onto the show and we really appreciate him saying yes. Jorin gave us such a wordy, cerebal and fun conversation about his history with Improv and creativity.

It's not often that we get to chat with theatre makers and this can be because they are usually very busy people. You have to also remember that they often perform multiple jobs to do what they do amongst other things like real life. So it's a great pleasure to be able to talk to Tom Brennan who is one of the founding members of the Wardrobe Ensemble. Tom talks to us about how the ensemble works together. If it's easier to deal with historic subjects, where the heat is and how that can tell you that you are onto something. We can't thank Tom enough for giving us some of his time and look forward to seeing more content produced by the ensemble.

Elliot is an artist, illustrator and small business owner. We found Elliot's work at a gothic art market and bought some really nice stickers from him. We talk about how the COVID lockdown actually pushed him to start the business and his first couple of experiences with markets. We covered a lot of ground with Elliot and then create a gothic children's program!

Jason Cordova is a publisher, writer, podcaster and TTRPG creator and joined us for a chat from Texas via the power of the Internet. Jason spoke to us all about The Gauntlet, a community that celebrates tabletop roleplaying games and creating the very successful Kickstarter for Brindlewood Bay. We covered topics such as his process, horror movies and being Goth adjacent to name a few. Then we created a James Bond character who is on the trail of an evil mushroom-worshipping cult.

For the first time in about 2 years we are able to have a face to face chat. Neil Hampton (aka 14Eight) is a Bristol based creative who is fairly new to the scene of being in markets. In his words Neil makes "gothic home decor and jacket junk" which if you are into that kind of scene you will know what those things are and probably will take a look. We talk about the nerves of doing your first "artist" market, poorly designed t-shirts and all sorts of other stuff.

I was honoured to be asked by Andy & Lyndon to come back on the show I had to say yes. Since we have met them both before the chat is a little different but we try to focus on the changes that life can bring to both throw curveballs at your creativity or aid it. We also create miniature worlds created in science flasks! Please go and check out the Kickstarter for part two of the Reanimator Incorporated books, it's way past its initial goal so everything now opens more stretch goals.

Geoff got in touch with us via Twitter asking us if we wanted to have a chat about a comic he was working on. We said yes, and so here it is instead of the episode we had previewed on our Patreon which we had some audio issues. We had a really interesting chat with Geoff about his past work and more current work with EroTech. We dived into how design plays such a large element in creating comic books, how NSFW comic does not have to be ALL smut, then created a dark gothic submarine cop series.

We had a lovely chat with the very talented Grimly Fiendish Crafts who creates very cute and spooky things out of felt, fabric and that sort of thing. The really fun part about their work is that a lot of them have something unique because they are all hand-made. We talked about not being good at "traditional art", being a kinesthetic learner, the things they have on in the background while they work, creating your own physical market and we had a rant about Etsy fees. Grimly also joined in our creative part and did a drawing with us.

We met Aru about 4 years ago at I think the same convention we met Sarah Millman because they were tabling with CB. It's just taken a while for us to organise a proper chat with them but we hope you agree that it was well worth the wait. Aru chats with us about their comics and recent dip into making games and project management. We also have a chat about attention spans, to-do lists, autism and boy love.  Aru also joins us in the drawing and creates a marvellous image.

Rhianna Pratchett is not a journalist despite what Wikipedia says although she certainly used to be. She has however written for many computer games including TombRaider, Overlord, Mirrors Edge and Heavenly sword to name a few. She has also written for DC, Marvel and Dark Horse and so much more. We are so thankful to be able to grab some of her time to chat through her history of creativity, her creative environment and the tricks she uses to persuade her own brain into working and so much more. Nathan and Chris got inspired by the chat and figured out what the relationship would be between a tiny crow punk and a gentle alien plumber.

Gem Sheldrake, is an artist, comic creator, graphic designer for 2000AD and small press enthusiast. We accidentally hit on Gem's love for Arthur Morgan and traversed the usefulness of gaming to give your brain a break or to inspire you. We also talk about depression, how it's hard only having a small space to differentiate the difference between "work" and "home" and Gem's recent project with old Uni buddy and previous guest Phasechan. During our creative section, we create a cyberpunk styled world with our main protagonist filtering through the muck with their extra arms in order to find some space change in the form of some luminous crab. Oh... and there is a monkey! We can't thank Gem enough for her time and involvement with the show.

Our first episode of 2022 is with multi-talented creator Zoe Burgess Foreman. Zoe is a researcher, horror enthusiast, author, artist, podcaster and on top of all of that is a teaching assistant for a special needs school. We talk to them about how they find time to go to the toilet, ADHD, what Cthulhu would be like if he was a hot boi, the struggles that exist around adult manga in acquiring it, publishing it and people judging you for it. We go off on many a tangent and eventually get round to creating two rival training gyms between aliens and cowboys with some buff cacti drawings from us.

This is our final chat of the year and we end the year with multi-talented creator Chris Bissette. In their own words, Chris is a TTRPG designer, writer, vocalist and musician.  In 2021 Chris decided that they would go "full-time" into their creative endeavours and things seem to be going okay so far. We spoke to them about the benefits of using a physical device to add tension to RPG's, their music and how there is a huge difference between enjoying writing and enjoying the act of having written something. All of that was before we created a new made for TikTok show featuring influencer "Kid-nap" whose USP is voluntarily being kidnapped by Pirates in order to make awesome content. Confused? You should be. Chris Bissette links Twitter Website Facebook Itch.io Store Contact Us We encourage you to send us your drawings and get in touch which you can do via e-mail or social media.

Kat's illustration work includes a range of cards, invites and even bespoke illustrations too. Let's not forget that the Dinos and Dice Rolls Comic Kickstarter surpassed 300% of its funding which has to be declared a success. There is so much more to her work drawing cute dinosaurs going on adventures though. It was lovely to chat with Kat and then catch her in real life when we met her at Thought Bubble. We hope that she had an excellent convention, we really enjoyed creating a space theatre with her and we can highly recommend checking out her work.

We had the pleasure and of a chat with Jordan Thomas who is a comic book writer that has recently released The Complete Frank At Home on the Farm book. We chat to Jordan about the awesome Quarantine comic that he did at the beginning of the pandemic in 2020, working with Clark Bint, how a film background helps him visualise a page and lots of other stuff. For our creative section, Chris shares his dislike of Leonardo Di Caprio and draws a weird eyeball testicle cowboy. Don't forget if to back check out Jordan's work, and back Weird Work - Issue 2 if you can.

We bring you a chat with metal worker extraordinaire Michael Cthulhu. We chatted with Mike about how his love of metal working began, his reasons for not buying a lathe, nudity, what his work means to people and what he would like to happen to him should his family find him in some horrible life ending accident. We did totally forget to discuss his podcast. During our creative section we create a story where monsters turn into children at night and are hunted by one of those old school witch hunter type people.
