Firas Alexander is an improviser, producer and the creative director of the Playground Theater in Chicago, IL. He joins us to talk about how he started in comedy, how you should start in comedy (or any creative endeavor) and what he was creating during the COVID year (or not creating, depending on how you look at it...) This was a really fun one! For information on upcoming shows with The Playground Theater visit their website https://theplaygroundtheater.com/ For the latest be sure to also follow their Facebook Page: https://www.facebook.com/theplaygroundtheater

This week we talked to Oppa.Dalle.Style about his meme-y art / comics created using Craiyon (aka dalle mini) ai generated pictures. He has such a unique style of creating these and it's really an interesting project. We hope you'll check him out on instagram @oppa.dalle.style and follow along. 

 

Thanks for listening! We're now Dumb Creators, and we're looking forward to talking to anyone making awesome stuff, because we're dumb about all art, even though we still want to keep being dumb about comics. You get it. Anyway, if you think this is dumb, let us know!

Due to a series of events from COVID to family crisis, our podcast has been on hiatus for a while. This was recorded before that. We hope you enjoy and we are back making new episodes starting in July. Thanks for listening!! 

This episode we had on Aaron Figueroa author and illustrator of the comic "The Life and Times of Christian Weston Chandler" issue 1 is called Childhood. "Chris Chan" is a pop culture figure and the spark for many debates and controversy. The biographical style comic explores the beginning of Christian Weston Chandler's life. We enjoyed talking to Aaron about his artistic choices and connection to the material and also his path to creating his first comic book.

This episode features the industrious Samuel Vera, creator of There's an Alien in My Toilet and the podcast "Catch Da Craze." We talked to Samuel about his creative journey and how taking a break from comics might have fueled his current drive to success. We also talked about his inspiration for the character of Captain Doodie. Find more of Samuel's work on https://instagram.com/catchdacraze and be sure to check out his link tree: https://linktr.ee/catchdacraze

We also reviewed and talked about the comic "THE BADDASS BALLAD OF ZANDER CHROME: THE COOLEST MAN ON EARTH AND PROBABLY THE UNIVERSE TOO" created by Paul Kortjohn. To be frank and honest -- we have no idea why we reviewed this comic this month instead of when it was sent to us last year...but it's a really cool comic and we hope you can find it. Paul sent it to us months ago, there was no discussion that we would be doing it now. Kind of assuming that the email got lost until recently, but it's been a couple weeks since we recorded and I can't remember. We hope you will support Paul's great indie comics and follow him on instagram. Thanks so much Paul for letting us read and talk about this comic!! https://www.instagram.com/pkortjohncomix/

 

Thanks for listening! We're back next week!
