But it was not forgotten. Not by me, not by Paul, and not by our friends on Twitter who would occasionally suggest, “hey, when are you guys going to do another podcast?”

And now, I’m very pleased to say, the Fuzzy Typewriter is back—with some snazzy new artwork by Blair Campbell and a new mission statement to “love what you love.” Paul has graciously allowed me to share the airwaves with him once again, and I think we’re churning out some fun discussions. The concept of “love what you love” is important to me. The podcast focuses on art, artists, stories and storytellers, but we tend to shy away from cynicism and snark, two things found so often on the internet. Life is too short. Paul and I love stories. We consume them, we create them, and the Fuzzy Typewriter podcast lovingly reflects that. In the first few episodes we tackle the launch of  the Marvel/Icon comic book series, SCARLET; the Christopher Nolan-helmed, summer blockbuster, INCEPTION; and the Bravo reality TV series, WORK OF ART—which serves as a launching point for a deeper discussion about the process of artistic collaboration.

Check out the newly returned FUZZY TYPEWRITER podcast! I’m thrilled to be chatting about art and creativity with my pal Paul “P-Money” Montgomery.

I highly recommend subscribing through iTunes, but if you want just a taste, here’s the latest entry: Collaboration

Some time last year, my friend Paul Montgomery, as part of his writing duties on the website, iFanboy.com, made a creative challenge — to adapt a fable in comics form. Write, draw, whatever. I didn’t think I had the time to do it, but Paul’s challenge planted a seed. I started thinking of a crudely drawn strip that’s something very different from what I usually do. I decided that my personal challenge would be not only write the script, but to draw it too. I set about trying to teach myself how to draw a simple cartoon.

I didn’t complete the challenge, but the process itself was so fun that I put together a PDF and sent it to Paul. The package contained my original notes, doodles, scripts, and my attempt to teach myself to draw pigs and wolves. I had a lot of fun. I don’t think I’ll ever finish it, but for what it’s worth, it was a fun experiment, and I got a lot out of it.

Now I’ve put the PDF online for you to read, if you so wish.

Enjoy!
