The Fabler interviews Colleen macIsaac, indie illustrator, minicomic creator, and animator of short films extraordinaire!
Speaking of the extraordinary, it does occur to me that un-extraordinary is the same as ordinary. Ordinary just didn’t fit with the context. Ahem.
This week we chat with Ben Steeves, artist on Our Time in Eden – an ongoing online graphic novel written by Gibson Twist, who we profiled on the site last month.
Steeves is also the author and artist of Zom-Ben, a webcomic featuring the adventures of a comic-illustrator-turned-zombie-superhero. We chat about early 90’s comic book trading cards, innocence lost, and the walking dead. Which sounds suspiciously like my 14th birthday.
Hordak, Baloo the Bear, Judas Priest, and Snow Leopards: What do these things all have in common?
A: They are all topics of conversation when I interview Kelly Tindall, the Montreal-based artist responsible for all of those nifty backup stories in the Image Comics title Proof.
A brief update, concerning Fabler interviews as well as (unrelated) the upcoming Convention season.
Few animals were harmed in the making of this post.
Another featured Fabler! New Zealander Andrew Johnson chatted with the Fabler about his work in comics, with a specific focus on his web-based comic about a future dystopia, Kingdom.
Eben Burgoon, the (some might say mythical) writer of Eben07 chatted with the Fabler about the past, present, and future of his covert ops ‘cleaning’ agent.
Eben is a contributor to the Fabler.com, and you could also check out samples on his work (featuring Dan Bethel’s art) over on the main site proper.
Kevin D interviews Alison Acton, creator of the fabulously perverse (yet still, at times, oddly touching) webcomic Bear Nuts.
Every possible topic under the moon is covered, except for topics that aren’t about Bear Nuts, Alison’s own Dooomcat Studios, her manga illustration on The Faerie Path, and motherhood. Oh, and Jiu Jitsu. That’s also covered.
The Fabler Blog talks to Jesse Jacobs, recent winner of the Gene Day Award for Canadian Self-Publishing for his minicomic, Blue Winter, Shapes in the Snow.
An independent self-publisher in the truest sense of the term, Jesse has also gained some recognition for his comic strip One Million Mouths, which up until a few mouths ago was a recurring feature in Halifax newspaper the Coast.
Jesse talks about winning the award, drawing Richie Rich as a kid, and shares some details about his latest as-of-yet-unnamed minicomic.
The Fabler Blog catches up with Joey Comeau, writer and co-creator of the popular photo-based webcomic A Softer World. Joey has just returned from a tour to promote Overqualified, his latest book.
Here he talks about keeping A Softer World fresh, the fact versus fiction content of Overqualified, and a couple of his upcoming projects. All this… and more! Yeah!
