The Podcast

In the summer of 2019, while my wife attended an art residency, I collected my School of Visual Arts friends to join in on a weekly on-line drink and draw. Soon other college friends dropped in on the lively discussions. Before long, I invited friends from my years in the comic book industry and this regular get-together grew into a proper podcast. Since then, the name, line-up, and format have changed, but the mission remained; Find inspiration in the creative journey and process.

About Alex

I spent a decade writing and pencilling for Marvel, DC Comics. Since then, my work as an art director and designer for Fortune 500 brands exposed me to creative projects that touched hundreds of millions. Now I write science fiction, fantasy, and mystery novels — and yes, more comic books.

SPECIAL Thanks

Thank you to the hundreds of amazing people who shared their valuable time with me. And my deepest thanks to my college mates for their contribution of talent and time over the years—I'll carry on the conversation we started in 2019.
