Cinema Sewage

Posted on February 21, 2008 by Inkstuds

My good friend Robin Bougie made a return appearance on the Inkstuds to discuss his trilogy of awesomeness that he is releasing today. Join us as we discuss his wonderful zine, Cinema Sewer, filth filled anthology, Sleazy Slice, and mix tape of madness, Retard-o-Tron. This is a show for mature listeners, so maybe donâ€™t play it at work. We were also joined by Philip Barrett who is a frequent illustrator in Cinema Sewer and Dimitrios Otis, Vancouvers king of porn history.

Paul Hornschemeier

Posted on February 7, 2008 by Inkstuds

Paul is one of my favorite cartoonists right now. I know I say that alot, but anyone who has been listening to any of the review shows, knows that I always recomend his work. He has a nice selection of books from Fantagraphics, as well as regular appearances in Mome. He also colours some comic called Omega the Unknown.

Inkstuds at the Jem continues

Posted on January 19, 2008 by Inkstuds

Hey Folks – The Opening last night was resounding success. The gallery was packed from the moment we opened the door until the booze all drunk and all we had was a couple of bottles of Malibu Rum. I will post some photos later.

I just want to make sure that everyone knows, that on Saturday, January 26th from 1pm-5pm, we will also be hosting a small press expo of sorts, at The Jem Gallery – 225 East Broadway. This will give people that werenâ€™t able to make it to the opening, a chance to meet some of the artists, buy some comix and have some fun.

If you donâ€™t live in Vancouver, but are interested in buying some of the art, I am going to try and put something together for people to be able to purchase stuff. It is a pretty incredible selection of art.

The cartoonists involved in the show, have really done there best and pulled together an incredible show. I feel pretty lucky to be a part of it.

Comix as Art

Posted on January 17, 2008 by Inkstuds

Don and I were joined by Jeet Heer, Tom Spurgeon and Dan Nadel for a round table discussion about comix as art. It was a really fascinating discussion with some of the smarter guys currently writing about comix. The station we broadcast out of, was doing a day of special programing celebrating the birthday of art, which included some lots of audio art.

Follow up – I edited the show to get rid of long soundscape intro. Also, Jeet and Tom both have some excellent comments on the talk, and I cut out alot of the intro. I wish I could get Jeet to summaries of all my shows, he has such a great way making it all make sense.

Jonathan Bennett

Posted on January 10, 2008 by Inkstuds

When Fantagraphics started publishing their Mome anthology, Jonathan was the cartoonist, whose work jumped out at me immediately. He still early in creative comix career, but I think he has shaped into be one the stronger new guys on the block. You can check out what he has to say at Blog Flume. As well, you can also catch his swell design work on Comic Art Magazine (by far the strongest comix mags out there).

Joe Matt part 1

Posted on January 3, 2008 by Inkstuds

Here it is folks, the guy you have all been waiting for. Joe Matt has been making some pretty hilarious comix for the last 20 years and is wealth of knowledge and hell of a chatty guy. He has four books available from one of my favorite publishers, Drawn and Quarterly, his most recent being Spent – a journey into his favorite past time/curse. This is part one of a two interview.
