Couple-Creators: Shannon and Dean Hale

2.15.10

.
In commemoration of yesterday’s holiday, I’m finally returning to my Couple-Creators series of interviews, featuring this time Shannon and Dean Hale who recently came out with their second comic book together, Calamity Jack.

Theric: In the past, in this interview series, both members of the marriage have had clearly defined artistic lives. But I think that few [...]

Latter-day Saint, Latter-day Lovecraft: an interview with W.H. Pugmire

2.04.10

.
One thing I often claim about my faith (and which outsiders generally snort at) is the size of the Mormon umbrella. Doctrinally, we welcome every truth, every person, every thing. All things are of God and part of being One and True is that we cover everything.

1.28.10

.
My wife is the bulletin-sculptor in our ward, and I help out by meeting the bishop’s request that each speaker have a short bio written about them. It was in this pursuit that I learned the reason our high counselor has such frabjous hair: He is a painter.

He brought [...]

.
I’ve been noticing the fervor around Black Friday this year and so it seems appropriate to interview a Mormon artist who is–for a limited time only–offering his already inexpensive comic book (with shipping), for less than I paid for it (without). Act now.
Brandon Dayton works in the video game industry by day and makes comics [...]

Elna Baker: A Serious Interview

11.11.09

.
So your whole book is based on the structure of kissing, how did you decide to do that?
It’s funny because the sort of themes or structures that are pointed out to me usually they’re a surprise, like oh I did do that! So I think that I noticed that there were so many stories about [...]

Electronic Publishing: an interview with Moriah Jovan, part I

Today, I bring back Moriah Jovan, one of “them LDS Ladies,” for a more in depth look at e-publishing. In Part I, MoJo provides an overview of the field plus an in-depth look [...]
