Dirk Erik Schulz aka Themrock

Do you like wacky expressive art? Well you've stumbled onto the right episode!

Artaku was lucky to chat with the cartoonist Dirk Erik Schulz aka Themrock! Dirk is one of the few artists actively putting out old school over the top cartoon images and we got the chance to pick his brain about that.  From growing up with censored cartoons, finding his path in cartooning, and what's it like to be a cartoonist in Germany, our discussion with Themrock covers it all!

You can check out the episode on iTUNES or FEEDBURNER.  If you're feeling like that's too much mouse clicking you can always just stream the episode right here:

Dude. Seriously. We have got a great episode for you!

Artaku was lucky enough to be able to chat with the amazing photographer Jaime Ibarra.  As one of my personal favorite artists that I follow it was really cool to chew the fat with him and chart about his unique out look on his own work and what he considers to be good photography.  From his early days of drawing, to becoming a musician, transitioning into being a graphic designer and then finally discovering photography listening in on his journey is truly fascinating.

Who doesn't like a good monster design?


Artaku got the chance to chat with the talented Devon Cady-Lee, (aka Gorrem) and explored his fascination with natural world.  And Dinosaurs.  Also Ants.  It all comes into play as Devon breaks down what inspires him to draw and what he thinks makes for compelling character design and concept art.  If you like video game art or wondered about what goes into creating concept art this is the podcast for you!

It's Artaku's very first episode and we couldn't have had a better first guest!


We were lucky enough to sit down with the multi-talented artist Alli White (aka Skirtzzz) and discuss with her the up and downs of growing up in a community that didn't appreciate art, discovering an online audience of like minded fans, and 90s Nickelodeon  cartoons!

You can check out the episode on iTUNES or FEEDBURNER.  If you're feeling lazy you always just stream the episode right here:
 


If you haven't heard of Alli White then you must not like yourself.  To deprive yourself from the joy that is her quirky fan art is a crime!  Fear not, for below is small sample of her work and links to find more of her stuff:
