Make It Then Tell Everybody

Dustin Harbin and Dan Berry talk at length about doing art better, what the proper collective noun for a group of Voltrons is, how conventions work and the Holiday Olympics. We will return to this conversation in a few months. There's a lot of stuff we didn't get to.

Isabel Greenberg talks to Dan Berry about her very recently finished book, her working process and thoughs on festivals, shops and comics in general.

Joe List talks to Dan Berry about what he does, his approach to comics and showing at conventions. Joe was part of the very first Make It Then Tell Everybody and is my second repeat guest.

INJ Culbard and Dan Berry get philosophical about criticism, the idea of the ego and the artist and some solid practical advice on streamlining a creative process. Go and check out Deadbeats from Self Made Hero with Chris Lackey & Chad Fifer and the New Deadwardians with Dan Abnett.

Dan Berry speaks to Stephen Collins about the requirements of doing a weekly strip for the Guardian, what is and is not funny, backing out of dead ends, the Beyonce Train and an enormous beard that is also evil.

Robert Ball talks to Dan Berry about his very recent leap into the world of freelance illustration from a high profile branding design job, the difference between analogue and digital illustration and of course DANGER.

Philippa Rice and Dan Berry talk styles, making money on the internet, the value of a re-tumbl, mean streaks and what would happen if she was banned from every comics show.

Kate Brown talks to Dan Berry about the highs and lows of drawing comics and shares with us an indespensible tool for cartoonists; The Flowchart.

Hannah Berry speaks to Dan Berry about writing and drawing comics and the deep darkness at the heart of her very soul. 

Dan Berry talks to Scott Campbell all about his working methods, his career thus far and the possibility of him turning to the dark side.

Jamie Smart speaks to Dan Berry about his work, his audience and living life under the gaze of the internet. We were given some technical lemons in the recording of this podcast, but we managed to seamlessly make delicious audio lemonade.

Rob Davis talks to Dan Berry about his career so far in comics; how he got in, how he got out and how he got in again. 

Dan Berry speaks with Walking Dead artist Charlie Adlard about his process, how he got started in the comics industry and his influences. When you talk to Charlie Adlard however, the topic inevitably turns to death, the loss of humanity and zombies. Always zombies. 

Joe Decie talks to Dan Berry about his partially true autobiographical comics, whether or not he really has a dog, getting arrested as a teenager for painting trains and how to propose marriage in a comic. 

Simone Lia speaks to Dan Berry during the aftershow party during Thought Bubble 2012. This was recorded in an acoustically challenged stairwell against the backdrop of riotous good times. I've had to fairly heavy-handedly edit this episode to remove all the security guards asking us to move on, bar staff walking past carrying binbags full of empty bottles and the previously mentioned riotous good times. We spoke about humility, worms & cats, the truth and the Truth. I also mispronounced Simone's name, (Simmohn not Simown) which causes my face to burn bright with terrible shame. 

Oliver East talks to Dan Berry about how he came to making comics, his unique approach, why people don't cosplay as his characters (yet) and the contents of his airing cupboard. This was recorded half at the Thought Bubble festivaland half over skype the following week, so I apologise for the jump in sound quality. This episode contains conversational swearing.

Dan Berry talks to Glyn Dillon about his career, his process, the difficulties he encountered in the process of creating The Nao of Brown and boasts about his enormous thumbs. This was recorded at 1 in the morning at the Thought Bubble festival. I think we hid it well but we were both utterly shattered.

Dan Berry talks to John Allison, creator of Scarygoround and Bad Machinery about the challenges of making money from something he gives away for free, the problems with digital comics, storytelling and the psychology of book covers, tshirts and prints. John tells stories that will turn your hair white and your pants brown.
