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.

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.

When Victoria tweeted that she would love to guest on other peoples podcast we're not sure she took into account that we would pounce on that but here we are. It's truly a delicious chat, poking about in Victoria's writing, love of video games, twitch presentation and her relationship with cross-stitch. It's another unapologetic tangent heavy episode where Chris and Nathan learn about the benefits of the phrase "fresh baby", discuss the Sims franchise and how writers love to make people feel things.

It's October and we are aiming to get back to two episodes a month until the end of the year. We celebrate our 50th episode in style as we chat with an incredible comic creator and illustrator Charlot Kristensen. Charlot's comic What We Don't Talk About is a powerful story about Farai who has been in a relationship for two years and has never met her partner’s parents. Until this weekend the comic takes place. We chat about her story, its origin, her process and other bits.

Welcome to our only September episode as we are taking the rest of the month off to try and book some awesome people to finish the year off in style with any luck. In this episode, we chat with Jason Chester, a creative artist who mostly does art for fun and not for money! We found Jason via Oxford Doodle Club who you may remember from our chat with Mat Roff. It's a very tangent heavy episode where both Jason and us trundle down some conversation paths but we do still chat about creativity. We can't thank Jason enough for his time.

Bristol-based artist Katie Fishlock is celebrating the joy of sexual pleasure and relationship with the self. Both provocative and playful, she is also challenging the boundaries of portraying sexuality in this often-complex world. A former Graduate of Falmouth School of Art (2008), she has worked extensively as a make-up artist and stylist within the fashion industry, including with Boy George and Alexander McQueen.  When we got in touch with Katie we had no idea that she was going to turn the tables on us a bit in order for the interview to work for her current energy levels. Since we encourage things like spontaneity and experimenting with things we thought it would be really hypocritical to say no. We chatted to Katie about her current work and draw what came into our minds or indeed into our fingers, we would love to see what you draw from this episode. You can catch Katie's work at Glitch in Bristol until the end of September 2021, go there, get your hair done and/or grab a coffee, lunch or something sweet.

Greetings superfolk! We bring you a super-human episode of the podcast where we talk to Gamemaster and creator of the Masks and Mayhem podcast RC Beiler. RC spoke to us at what was for him very early in the morning about why he decided to begin making a real play RPG podcast, how he met his victims/players, the value that playing an RPG with your friends has, the amount of time and effort that goes into the show as well as touch on beating yourself up for "not getting enough done".

We managed to grab some time with Mike Garley, a very busy writer and lecturer. Mike has a huge back catalogue of work and has recently (at time of writing) completed the Kickstarter campaign for the Samurai Slasher Omnibus. During our chat we dig a bit into the Our Final Halloween series, how Mike feels about giving artists notes on their drawings to help get the idea across and discover exactly what kind of podcast this isn't.

Let us introduce the incredible artwork of Morrighan Corbel. We found her through Twitter somehow and we are incredibly glad we did. We think her artwork really portrays that feeling of aloneness, isolation and somewhat frustration. She also does pretty incredible pet portraits.. We loved chatting with Morrighan. It was really interesting for us to find out that as she has ADHD she tends to bill in terms of day rather than hours. We cannot thank her enough for the time she gave us and for the honesty she bought to the conversation. If you are into folk stories, dark and beautiful art and/or enjoying RPG's then put Morrighan on your one to follow list.

PhaseChan is another of those artists we found at True Believers (2020) and when we saw the Kraken T-Shirt she had (but sadly sold out of our size) we knew we had to talk to her at some point and here is that chat.

In this episode we chat to comic maker, storyteller and Design Director at Papertank Chris Baldie. Back in November 2020 Chris released a Kickstarter to fund his comic "We Said Goodbye to Gravity" and it was more successful than he imagined. We had a lovely chat with Chris about his Space Captain series, being his own sales person and his disapproval of the Adobe subscription model. During our creative bit we build an intergalactic library run by a generation of beetles, during which Nathan says the word "poop" a lot.

We kick off May with another fantastic artist, illustrator and award winning comic maker Shazleen Khan. We took a bit of a whirlwind tour through their history in the comic industry and how they get actual pleasure from the physical act of drawing. Shazleen has been working on their web comic BUUZA!! since 2019 and is enjoying using actual time as an element and making the reader commit in the long haul. For our creative section we come up with a rhythm based game loosely connected to Pa Rapper the Rapper where the stars of the game are guiding a giant cosmic friendly bee to a safer place.

We met Gustaffo Vargas in 2019 at Thought Bubble and he is is an amazing comic book creator who has been incredibly busy in 2020. Not only did Gustaffo work on the really interesting Quarantine Comic by Jordan Thomas, he also worked on Skrawl: Comix Magazine and drew, funded, released his own work Puno. We chat to Gustaffo about his really busy year, his work, his incredible use of colour, inspirations and so much more. Gustaffo started our story telling section wonderfully and you have to have a listen to see what we come up with.

We got to chat with another creative across the pond in the form of Cooper Shaw. Cooper is an actor, director and teacher at the well known Second City training school. Chris got to know her a bit while he was taking the Dialects and Character Voices course that was run by Cooper over Zoom It was lovely to dip into Cooper' history and work and how encouraging she is when learning to use your voice as an instrument. She has an infectious teaching method which is fun and encouraging so if you are interested in learning more about accents and dialects we would recommend you take a look at the course. Wait until you hear the story we create too.

Here we are with our second producer of the occult and spooky material. Here is a chat with T. W. Burgess, a writer and purveyor of horror, especially ghost stories. We had a bit of audio difficulty with this and we hope it does not ruin your listening enjoyment. We went on a HUGE horror movie tangent and picked up on how important it is to dig into those old folk tales for more material. We dug into the success of the Early Haunts Kickstarter and what is coming up. That's all before we take a break and then come back and create something supernatural together. T. W.

We have another double episode for you for March and feature two producers of creepy, occult and that type of content. Starting off with James Bojaciuk the Chief Executive Officer Duobus of 18th Wall Productions. We talked to James about how the publishing house came about after he received a rather harsh piece of criticism on a piece of his writing. He also speaks about finding the right audience, the controversy around e-books, his love of the Hammer House of Horror series of films, what Kickstarter has bought into the world and how Peter Cushing was really into his tabletop gaming and a massive nerd.

For our second episode for February we had a remote chat with Improvisor, Radio producer and Podcaster Lloydie James Lloyd. Chris has been delving into what Lloydie has been up to with his Improv Chronicle Podcast, not something everyone might enjoy but if you are interested in Improv then we would certainly recommend it for a very consumable deep dive into some very interesting topics. Lloydie was slightly reserved about the drawing section of our show but I do feel that he enjoyed creating a planet that was being run by two mobsters who have a certain penchant for musicals. We persuaded him to draw with us and love his depiction of "Lil Larry", check out the drawings via our social media.

For February we bring you the first of two scheduled episodes. We managed to grab some time with the owner of Buy Small Press an Indie marketplace, Aaron Rackley. We can't thank Aaron enough for his time. He spoke to us about his day job as a Scrum Master and being a sometime developer. The publishing house that he setup to try and provide books for all ages, the charity he runs, the typography he did for Art Nine Two on GGA and more about how Buy Small Press came about. Aaron spoke openly about mental health without us asking him and we really appreciate his openness about that. We dig a bit more into his plans for the Indie Marketplace and then get him creating with us. If you are an independent creative and want to sell your stuff and are fed up with the fees charged by a site like Etsy then I would encourage you to take a look at Buy Small Press.

Happy new year listeners. We start this year with an Improv bang and managed to organise a chat with performer extraordinaire Jen Rowe. Jen is multi-talented and when she is not teaching, performing or writing then she is probably out on a walk, painting or practising hip-hop dancing. We chat about how the lock down was and the new challenges that face UK performers now that the UK is no longer in the EU. Be sure to check out Jen's awesome drawing on our social media.

Hello there, well it's been a bit of a year huh? 2020 I think has been a bit of a trial for a lot of us, but we go through it. A huge thank you to all of the guests that we have had this year. Without them, we would have a very different show and it's been wonderful to have these lovely conversations get to create with them. This is a retrospective episode looking back on our 16 episodes this year and finding the hidden joy with links to the guests involved.

After listening to his podcast Make It Then Tell Everybody for the past year and consuming over 200 episodes we caught up with podcaster, maker, creator and jack of many trades Dan Berry. We talk to Dan about his 8 years in podcasting, his brief dalliance with stand-up and how that helped him in teaching. How he knows that he has an idea that he wants to draw and how words can give you various feelings when you think about them way too much.

As promised we set up and had a great chat with Andy Perry the writer of the Reanimator Incorporated Graphic Novel. Having already spoken to the artist Lyndon White. We dive into his writing process a fair bit and how he wanted the whole process to be collaborative with Lyndon. He does mention just how valuable the editing process was and how it reformed the story. We talk a little about a writing retreat that he went on with Arvon and as a writer just how much that improved his ways to give and receive feedback. We loved chatting with Andy and thank him for being patient with our technical difficulties, turns out it all worked out. You can grab a copy of the graphic novel via Backerkit. We are eagerly awaiting the release of Volume 2.

Fantastic independent artists and comic book creators Damian and Helena make up Art Nine Two and for us, it was a huge amount of fun to sit and chat with them. Damian's recent comic GGA (Galaxy Grappling Alliance) is a huge homage to the early days of the WWE bit with the matches having a deeper meaning. He has a passion for wrestling and movies and he even runs his own podcast called Omen to That. His talents don't stop there, he does amazing portraits of all sorts of people including Dr Who. Helena is also an amazing portrait artist but has also an amazing talent for pet portraits. Over the lockdown, she has put a lot of time and energy into the Patreon to supply some really good art tutorial videos. These are really affordable for people who want to see how she puts her work together and even shows you the mistakes. We can't thank them enough for being such good sports and great guests. Go check out their work, maybe send them an e-mail if you want to commission either of them for a piece of work or go buy something from their shop.

After receiving the fantastic first issue of the Reanimator Incorporated graphic novel we really wanted to reach out to the creators. This is a chat with artist and illustrator Lyndon White and we have a chat scheduled with Andy Perry coming soon. Chatting with Lyndon was fascinating. He is certainly prolific with his work and if you take a look at his portfolio on his site it shows just a selected amount of what he has been up to. We chat about how he puts his work together, the work that he has put in with his previous concertina books, conventions, balance and being taught by Dan Berry. It's an exciting time for Lyndon as on Oct 20th 2020 he launches the Kickstarter for his next concertina book Mary Shelley's Frankenstein so you can register your interest for that project right now.

After a bit of rescheduling, we managed to have a chat with Jennie Gyllblad to talk to her about the comics that she makes, smut, art and all sorts of other things. We cover a lot of ground with Jennie from her most recent work Rough Hex to fetish culture and the state of comic book publishing in Sweden and why her living in the UK is not "A phase". We loved how when Jennie realised she didn't have to censor herself she jumped in with both feet. This does include the amazing idea she came up with for the drawing section of the show and supported it with an incredible drawing. Be sure to check out our social media for those images.

We are super happy to bring you a chat with Harriet Braine. Harriet is the second presenter of The Design Spark Podcast that we have been lucky enough to get onto the show. We talk to Harriet about her experience of recording the podcast with Lucy Rogers and Bec Hill. Her experiences living and working in Edinburgh during the festival, as well as the highs and lows that winning awards early in your career can bring. We also learn that Harriet is not just a super talented musician and comedian but a dab hand at a bit of craftwork (no, not the German band) by creating something called a Bum Hole Sun.

At time of writing, Joe and his wife are just about to have a baby so we managed to get a chat with him before that happened. It's also a bit of luck because we were only talking about Joe in the last episode. We met Joe at Thought Bubble 2019 and Chris loved his watercolour style comic The Fox, The Wolf and The Woodsman but we didn't get much of a chance to chat to him. So it was interesting to dig into Joe's history and learn how he grew into web design. Making MySpace (remember that?) pages for some UK based celebrities to name a few things that he has turned his hand to. He still takes on design projects both for web and physical if he has the time, space and clients but would much rather spend a lot more time working on comics. Well, we support you Joe, and so should you. If you want to give your eyes a bit of a treat and your brain a bit of a rest then consider investing in his latest work Haru which you can get Part 1 & 2 on Kickstarter right now.

Welcome back for a rather chilled episode with the wonderful Graham Johnson. Graham is a producer, improviser and illustrator to name a few things. We chat to Graham about his early influences like the webcomics Questionable Content and Dresden Codac. It's really interesting to hear Graham talk about how these "Slice of Life" style comics appealed to him more than the more superhero/fantasy style. We dive into being able to work with the fantastic Kid Carpet and his current projects which include drawing an entire tarot deck of Cute Squishy Boys, being the live illustrator for Tales of Adventure an Improv live play RPG that happens over on Twitch and is uploaded to YouTube. All that and some  tangentst skip through Musical Theatre, the works of Nicholas Cage and a Lloyds Bank commercial? Check out his work, and if you have some future production needs or are interested in helping Graham publish his Tarot cards or just want to buy a print of one or a whole pack do get in touch with him.

We arrange a chat with creative problem solver Mat Roff. Sadly, we had a little issue with our audio on this episode but Mat's audio is great and after all, it is all about our guest and not us. Mat helped us in a bit of a deep dive into why fan art can be so important in any artist journey. He told us how everything for him is classed as some sort of collaboration and how that keeps his work fun and interesting for him and his clients. His openness is something we applaud, it's not always about the final product, sometimes the journey is much more important. We encourage you to check Mat out on Twitch, he regularly streams his work and his process which is lovely to be part of. We will certainly look at going to the Oxford Doodle Club and we hope to collaborate with him on something in the future.

Professor Lucy Rogers (PhD) is an inventor with a sense of fun. She is a Royal Academy of Engineers visiting Professor of Engineering: Creativity and Communication at Brunel University, London, a Fellow of the Institution of Mechanical Engineers and she is adept at bringing ideas to life, from robot dinosaurs to mini-mannequins and even a "fartometer" for IBM! Chris had the pleasure of meeting Lucy at an improve intensive weekend with The Maydays and just knew we had to get her on the podcast. Lucy has turned her hand to a plethora of things in her personal and professional life and virtually all of them have some form of creativity in them. It was really interesting to talk to her about her experience at the intensive weekend and the more recent release of Season 3 of The Design Spark podcast that she does with Bec Hill and Harriet Briane. We touch on the closure of the Guild of Makers, what the community does to have such a presence on Twitter, what environment she needs to help learn, failing in public and much much more.

We sat down with Director and all-round awesome human being Melanie Light way back in February before the lockdown was put in place and now we finally bring it to you. Melanie not only writes and directs her own films but she is also a huge part of the Women In Horror month putting on amazing horror showcases. If that was not enough and is a huge advocate and voice for female representation in the film industry, especially in the horror scene. Her short film The Herd won several awards including Best Horror Short at the London Independent Film Festival (UK) but don't judge Mel by the hard-hitting nature of the film. We talk a lot about her history, work, and the challenges that face not just her as a director but all women in the film industry. We do of course get Mel drawing with us and I love what we come up with.
