    Greg Moodie

    In Episode 1 we welcome cartoonist Greg Moodie to the show. Greg’s unique political cartoon strips came to prominence during the Scottish independence referendum campaign between 2012 and 2014. Initially available on the National Collective website and latterly on Bella Caledonia, Greg began a weekly spot in The National newspaper shortly after it’s November 2014 launch.     Greg has two books of strips out at the moment, Greg Moodie Versus The Union and Greg Moodie’s Election Dissection and is launching a book of Chris Cairns’ cartoons from Wings Over Scotland in October 2015.   Greg recently jumped into animated satire with his Moodievision series. We chat about all that plus Greg’s avid following on social media in this episode.   You can subscribe to Drawn Out in iTunes, Pocket Casts, TuneIn, Stitcher or via your usual podcast app.   Show Links: Greg Moodie’s website Moodievision at Bella Caledonia Greg Moodie on Twitter   The post Greg Moodie appeared first on Drawn Out Podcast.

    David ‘Swatpaz’ Ferguson

    In Episode 2 we welcome animator David ‘Swatpaz’ Ferguson to the show. For about as long as there’s been a YouTube to post them to, Davey has been putting hilarious animations with an unapologetically Glaswegian accent online. With a distinct visual style and surreal sense of humour he drew the attention of YouTube heavy hitters like Rhett & Link and Frederator Studios.   This led to Davey being one of only a handful of animators invited to write, design and direct a special ‘guest episode’ of Cartoon Network’s Adventure Time.     In this episode we learn about his experience working on one of the world’s most popular TV shows, all without leaving his house. We also discuss his other work and characters along with a look at how his Adventure Time opportunity arose.   You can subscribe to Drawn Out in iTunes, Pocket Casts, TuneIn, Stitcher or via your usual podcast app.   David’s website David on YouTube David on Twitter   The post David ‘Swatpaz’ Ferguson appeared first on Drawn Out Podcast.

Gill won widespread acclaim and British Comic Award and Scottish Independent Comic Book Award nominations for her solo project The Beginner’s Guide to Being Outside.     Gill’s interest in the natural world is also reflected in her latest book, The Seagull Appreciation Society.

    Colin Bell & Neil Slorance

    In Episode 4 we chat with Colin Bell and Neil Slorance. Colin and Neil recently concluded their all-ages comic book series Dungeon Fun, having swept the board at the 2014 Scottish Independent Comic Book Awards and launched a collected edition in September. They also produce a humour strip for the monthly Doctor Who: Twelfth Doctor title from Titan Comics.     In a freewheeling and funny conversation with the lads we cover how the two met; the importance they place on creating a child-friendly comic; how they landed the Doctor Who gig and the controversial debate over whether their stories are canon in the Whoniverse; the fleeting nature of internet fame; tortoises; and lots more. Also, Terry gets schooled on the pronunciation of “kawaii”.   WARNING: this episode contains mild spoilers for both Dungeon Fun and upcoming Doctor Who strips.   You can subscribe to Drawn Out in iTunes, Pocket Casts, TuneIn, Stitcher or via your usual podcast app.   Colin Bell website Colin Bell on Twitter Neil Slorance website Neil Slorance on Twitter Do Gooder Comics Buy Dungeon Fun     The post Colin Bell & Neil Slorance appeared first on Drawn Out Podcast.

    Lorna Miller

    In Episode 5 we chat with Lorna Miller. Lorna’s recent work focuses on editorial cartooning and can be seen in Private Eye, Morning Star, Bella Caledonia and on the new investigative journalism site ‘The Ferret‘. Other outlets for Lorna’s work include cartoons drawn for Hastings Independent Press and for the Women’s International League for Peace & Freedom.     Lorna made her debut on the 90’s small press comics scene with her humour title Witch, later republished by Slave Labor Graphics in California. She decamped from Glasgow to the south of England and for a decade worked on UK children’s comics featuring licensed characters such as Thomas the Tank Engine and Moshi Monsters.   In this conversation we talk about how local politics brought Lorna back to the drawing board after a time away; the challenges facing women pursuing a career in cartooning; and what she thinks may lie ahead for the profession: all in a spirited and frank conversation.   You can subscribe to Drawn Out in iTunes, Pocket Casts, TuneIn, Stitcher or via your usual podcast app.   Lorna Miller’s Work Lorna on Twitter Lorna on Bella Caledonia   The post Lorna Miller appeared first on Drawn Out Podcast.

    Hattie Kennedy

    In Episode 6 we chat with Hattie Kennedy. Hattie has recently completed a PhD at the University of Glasgow, looking at political comic strips from the 1980 and ’95 Québec independence referenda and how they affected voters’ perceptions of the figure involved.     Besides her academic studies, Hattie also writes about comics for the Graphixia and Panels websites and was one of the organisers of the Comics Unconference that took place in Glasgow in 2015.   In this conversation we talk about how widespread the academic study of cartoon material has become around the UK; pay tribute to the Stirling Maxwell Centre at Glasgow Uni; compare Scottish political cartooning with Québecois and Catalonian material; and reveal a couple of new projects Hattie will be working on now her thesis is finally complete.   You can subscribe to Drawn Out in iTunes, Pocket Casts, TuneIn, Stitcher or via your usual podcast app.   Hattie on Graphixia Hattie on Panels Hattie on Twitter Read Harder Book Group Glasgow Comics Forum at Thought Bubble Comics Forum on Twitter   The post Hattie Kennedy appeared first on Drawn Out Podcast.
