Ep. 10: When We Transform, Interview with Tomi Trembath

08/19/24 • 27 min

On this week's episode, GNA host Mark Ohrenberger welcomes Tomi Trembath, a podcaster and first-time comic writer, whose upcoming comic When We Transform: A Superhero Tale of Transition, issue 0, is currently crowdfunding on Kickstarter. Tomi discusses her two podcasts: Giant Size Violence: A Toku Comics Podcast and Transcending Comics, a podcast dedicated to covering trans, non-binary, and gender queer representation in comics, manga, and webtoons. She also discusses combining the subject matter of those two podcasts to tell the story of a superhero who gets stuck in limbo for decades, is long thought to be dead, and returns transformed.

Ep. 11: Book Club - Art Brut, with Hannah

On this episode, Mark's artist/art teacher friend, Hannah, joins the show to discuss styles in fine art, stories from art history, and how W. Maxwell Prince and Martin Morazzo brilliantly incorporated both into their surrealistic detective procedural based in (and behind!) the world of fine art, Art Brut. If you have any interest in understanding distinct art styles, influences on artistic movements, how the art is made, or the masterful but unsettling storytelling of the creative team behind the hit comic series Ice Cream Man, this one's for you!
After you've listened, be sure to check out some of Hannah's own artistic creations and pottery process videos at:
