In this episode I start off with some updates including the completion and launch of my new Mini Comic GLYF and the Monster Munch Mystery.  

<--------(Ryan Wheatons recent fan art contest)

After the updates I dive right into 2 main topics Reaching Out and Events, Launches and Make it Fun. Drawing a lot of this content off of my experience being an audience member to other peoples content and learning how to serve my audience better by drawing off of examples.

Hey there Marshall, I've checked out podcasts #14 #15 plus the 'Bonus' episode. I really enjoy most of the stuff you talk about and so far all the subjects you cover are very interesting. Your inspirations, aspirations, the processes, etc... I would like to make a couple constructive criticism comments. I would like to suggest that maybe watch repeating some of the stuff you talk about. I'm sure it's difficult to do because you seem to be doing these while driving and dont have any notes in front of you while talking. Don't get me wrong, very interesting content. Also, maybe you could script your list of the items you have available for sale (Once at the beginning and once again at the end of each podcast). Just suggestions and only my opinion but only meant to strengthen the "Escape Artist" podcast. I did notice that most of them are about 40 min long which I think is a great length. Anything more I think might sound a little winded. Personally, I do listen to quite a few different podcasts each week and plus throw in some tunes in between so 40min works for me. Keep up the great work man. I find that everything you are doing very inspirational.
Thanks,
Matt G

Hey Matt Thanks for the comment! Yes I agree I do tend to repeat myself sometimes. I try to keep a lid on it as much as possible but it still happens from time to time. It's good to hear the crit though so I can continue to watch out for it Thanks! Yea the time fluctuates from like 30 to 60 minutes about... I usually like around 60 min or so for the podcasts I listen to but since Im just one guy and I don't want to bore people I try to keep it short. Not always successful though lol. Thanks again for the input man! I hope you continue to enjoy the podcast :)

Hey thanks for the mention!

I definitely think you should try your hands at a floppy. I have a weird obsession over smaller comics, particularly the manga digest size (5"x7.5") so I always work in that format for my comics.

Any idea on when maybe a good group of us could get together on tall shoe or google hangout and talk about the monster mini? Also, Im pretty geared up after reading the minis last night, in set for another project.

Jesse Thanks for checking in! Yes I'm really leaning toward a floppy right now... but If I do a floppy I think I want it to have at least some kind of arc tying it together for an eventual TPB or GN so I'm thinking I may take some time to develop GLYF a little more... not sure this on the fly one shot story writing approach has treated me pretty well too so maybe I shouldn't mess with the formula this early in the game hmmmm... Glad you'd like to see a floppy man!

We're in talks now for what the next project is but it shall come soonly!!! And yes I do want to do a google hangout with all of us but I'm thinking that will come after all the comics are handed in ya know :) Look forward to talkin man!

Nice one, dude! I always enjoy listening to your podcast, and this one was especially informative. I agree with you that Ryan Wheaton is definitely on to something with the "laid-back" selling approach. I have the buttons to prove it, too.

You've mentioned that you want to do the Google hangout as a regular thing on Saturdays, did you have a time (including your time zone) in mind? I'd love to draw with you guys, but I need to plan it in advance, since I'm on the bottom of the world. Let me know, and maybe we can all talk about stuff and draw next time.

Oh, and that was me that mentioned the "beautiful lie" of a comic cover. I think I was trying to make excuses for my interior art not being as good as my cover, but I point to Silver Age greats like Fantastic Four and the Hulk for historical backing (especially Hulk #2 or 3, where a G.I. exclaims "Nothing can stop him now! He can fly!")
Take care, and know that you've got some ears in the Deep Deep South.

Hey Nathan wow lotsa comic buddies from down unda ha haaa. Thanks for checkin in man! Yea it will probably range from around 8 am to noon eastern time.

But mostly sporadic depending on if I'm busy or not. Like for instance this Sat I have to help a friend move so I won't be around. Hopfully you can catch one some time though. Sorry its not more scheduled yet.

Either way man thanks for chiming in on the topic and for listening! :)
