This week is another live episode, this time from the Comic Creator Conference at Long Beach Comic Expo. I know it feels like I’ve done a ton of live shows recently, but I have such a backlog of amazing panels that I want to get them out while they’re still relevant. Usually I like to toggle through interviews, live shows, and lessons, but with the anthology interview series blocking out seven wee...

This is the second of two panels I participated in at LOSCON this year. The first was a panel I moderated about editing manuscripts and how to find a good editor, which you can find here. I didn’t moderate this panel, but it gives such excellent information that I thought it would be good to add it to the show anyway. This panel is all about how to take your idea and put it into action. The panel...

The Greater Los Angeles Writer’s Society asked me to participate on two panels at LosCon this year. One of which I moderated and the other I participated as a panelist. Loscon was the first con I ever heard about when I came to LA, and I always wanted to check it out, so I’m thrilled I was finally able to get to the LAX Marriott this Thanksgiving weekend to see if for myself. The first panel I’m s...

Palm Springs Comic Con asked me to participate on four panels this year. This was the first one of the weekend, where I talked about the Writer’s Journey with Justin Kirkman from Cali Comics ( www.calicomics.com ; @ JustinJKirkman). You might recognize the last name from a previous episode. Justin’s wife, Melissa, moderated my panel on Kickstarting comics and book) Justin and I handled this panel...

This past week I put together another How to Build an Audience from Scratch panel for Alternative Press Expo 2016. While this is the same title as my panel from Long Beach Comic Con, I promise the information is very different. In fact, I’m pretty sure I could do this panel 20 times a year and get different information from every single one. Of course, that’s because I keep mixing up the panelist....

This past weekend I was asked to moderate a panel at Santa Clarita Valley Comic Con (http://www.scvcomiccon.com) about how to make a career as an artist with panelists JD Correa, Bobby Timony, and Dave Olbrich. This was a great combination of talents. Bobby works on comic books as far ranging as Monster Elementary for Space Goat and the Simpsons. JD Correa does a ton of prints and sketch covers, a...

How to Build an Audience from Scratch is the third and final panel I was on at Long Beach Comic-Con. I feel like I had the complete experience this year. I hosted a workshop, moderated a panel, and was a featured guest on a panel. This is the panel that I moderated with Barbra Dillon from Fanbase Press, Nick Marino from Holy F*ck, and Madeleine Holly-Rosing from Boston Metaphysical Society ( I wor...

This weekend at LBCC, I finally got my ish together and recorded all my panels. I moderated one, I was one of two guests on another, and the third was a workshop. I’m going to release them all because most of you weren’t in these panels and I want to make sure you can extract as much value as possible from them. The first one I’m releasing is my Crush it on Kickstarter workshop. This was just me a...

Recording this episode is very special for me for a couple of reasons. First, because I’m so happy for Tyler and the new addition to his family, and honored that he asked me to help pick up some of the slack while he settles in with his new child. Second, because I stepped away from my own podcast, The Business of Art, after my father’s death in November of 2017, and this is the first episode of a...
