TPD 341 – What if Doctor Baer’s Success Exceeds My Grip?

Blog, Podcasts, Thunder Punch Daily / June 5, 2024 / doctorbaer, thunderpunchdaily

I was given the gift of a thought experiment via the Doctor Baer AMA form:

Indiana Jones grew much larger than its creator. How do you think you’d feel about being an artist and about Dr. Baer if it found great success and the Dr. Baer intellectual property grew beyond your control of it?

While I like to think I’d be able to let it go and see it turned into derivative works, I know I haven’t always felt this way. So I take a survey of my WHY over the last 30 years.

TPD 340 – I Can’t Come Out, I’m Making Comics

Blog, Podcasts, Thunder Punch Daily / May 23, 2024 / doctorbaer, thunderpunchdaily

I just got the advance reader copy of The Inscrutable Doctor Baer and the Case of the Two-Faced Statue!

It’s hard to articulate the emotions I felt holding this artifact of two years’ worth of effort in my hands.

Which got me thinking about this Thought/Question/Wondering from the Doctor Baer AMA:

Do you ever feel the tension between protecting time to work on your book against time that friends and family want you to spend with them? What does that look like, and how on earth do we find the best balance in this (that’ll bring the least amount of guilt, ha!) ?

So I take some time to explore the tensions between us and the world when we set out to make art.

TPD 339 – Gathering Experiences for the Classroom (& Myself)

Blog, Podcasts, Thunder Punch Daily / March 10, 2024 / doctorbaer, thunderpunchdaily

A thoughtful question/wondering came to me via the Doctor Baer AMA form:

I know a big part of how you advocate for comics and a thing you’ve shared that brings you a lot of joy is the teaching part of what you do– teaching comics. Through the long journey that is making a graphic novel, do you find that you pick up new tidbits/angles/perspectives/lessons that you can apply to teaching your students in the classroom?

Whether or not you’re planning on working with students, reflecting on your artistic experience only enriches it. But I also share how it leads to teachable moments and lessons plans that are fun for beginners.

TPD 338 – Why I Make Art

Blog, Podcasts, Thunder Punch Daily / November 29, 2023 / artsoundoff, thunderpunchdaily

For my last Art Soundoff entry for 2023, I’m sharing a previously Patreon-only entry from 2022. It’s a longer entry, but I think it clearly states the reasons behind my love of making comics.

TPD 333 – WIP

Blog, Podcasts, Thunder Punch Daily / November 21, 2023 / artsoundoff, thunderpunchdaily

The Art Soundoff prompt was WIP, so I talk about a drawing I’m working on. Thinking about the procedure, leaving space for story development, and how much I hope the line art will carry in the final piece.
