This week, Pat is joined by Tony Fleecs, Chris Moreno and Tone Rodriguez, collectively known as Garage Art Studios! We talk about the studio life, and all its advantages. We get into travelling for conventions and sketching at shows, weird sketch requests, and talk about the stuff they’re into as well! A really fun chat with a group of talented artists.
NOTE: We encountered some audio issues while recording, so apologies for some parts sounding bad. It was a fun conversation and I really didn’t want to cut anything out. So again, apologies!

Today is December 13, 2012. As of right now, I’ve recorded the majority of December and January’s shows, so I can actually tell you all with complete certainty what’s coming your way over the next few weeks. Yes, I’m recording way early, and it’s always possible that things get announced that don’t get covered in these interviews…but that’s okay.
I’m more interested in a good conversation with guests over being ahead of the comics news cycle, and I think most of you guys are in agreement with that.
So, here’s how the schedule is looking like for next year. You can probably expect a bonus show or two as well, depending on how things go.
12/19/12 – Episode 119: Rick Remender
12/26/12 – Episode 120 – The Year-Ender
01/02/13 – Episode 121 – Best of 2012
01/09/13 – Episode 122 – Sam Humphries
01/16/13 – Episode 123 – Studio Chatter with Tony Fleecs, Chris Moreno and Tone Rodriguez
01/23/13 – Episode 124 – Nick Bradshaw
There’s a few others that I can’t announce just yet, as well as a new type of show format I’m tinkering with. Let’s just say, imagine getting two creators that you really admire together just to chat and talk shop.
Also, I’ll be attempting another ‘commentary’ track for a single storyline like the Cobra one we did some time back.
2013 is looking good. Thanks to all of you for listening, for the feedback and interaction. It’s much appreciated. It’s great to share my love of comics and pop-culture with all of you, and I promise lots of fun stuff next year.
Guaranteed.
Pat
