Episode 194: Travis Overstreet - Savage Utility Fork

Rarely had K.L. Reeves seen characters on TV that reminded him of his friends. Young black men, leading. Strong but Fallible. Curious and Humble. Loving. Fiery. Cool. Toni Morrison said, "If there's a book that you want to read, but it hasn't been written yet, then you must write it." For years, he attempted to capture the beauty of our range on the page. Naturally, his next project would have to do the same. This one had to make him laugh, though. He thought, “there's gotta be others that want to laugh and feel seen like me”. So, he dreamt up Furious and Fat Cat, called his friend Pierre Sutton Jr. , and said, "Ay, I got an idea." Now that their idea is a reality and is well on its way, K.L. and Pierre are trying to get a pilot episode done. To help make this a reality, they started a Kickstarter campaign and need your help!

Episode 191: Melody Romero - Weekends Are A New Concept

Bob Rissetto likes to draw and animate.  He like shapes and design, but he likes process even more.  Mix in a nostalgic love of cartoons, toys, and video games, and it's easy to see how he became the professional boob he is today ;-) Bob has worked for a handful of start ups and game companies in the Chicago area for over a decade.  He freelances and enjoys sharing and mentoring, as well as being passionate about leveraging artists' strengths.  He celebrates both ends of the bell-shaped curve when it comes to art so both the "good" and "bad" inspires him. Outside of work he is usually catching up on a movie or video game and letting it inspire him in some way, even if it's only in his head.  There's always a gallery piece to finish, or a pitch to submit, or a short that needs finishing (and starting).  He is an indoor kid turned adult who changes color in the sun (pink) but has been known to moonlight as an extrovert on occasion. If you do see him outside, feel free to chat him up about animation, Skeletor, pizza, bunny rabbits, or anything orange! Show Links: Bob Rissetto - https://bobrissetto.com/ .

Episode 190: Bob Rissetto - Paper And Pencil Seems Silly

Support the stream: https://streamlabs.com/sketchzonepodcast Edensky Studios is an indie gaming company that develops original 3D titles using cinematic storytelling elements - Edensky was founded in 2017 by Animation Producer and Director Gregory Lawson. Before switching to, or even the idea of creating video games remotely existed, the studio was deep into the development of 2D animated short films and pitch materials for online television platforms. They funded their animated stories and dreams through their day jobs, and more recently, some of them have even left those jobs to commit to the studio full-time. They have spent several years through the fascinating adventure that is developing original content within the 2D animation industry. They soon realized something about their work was missing, there was a voice within themselves that was being suppressed. They ultimately, as a small studio, had to make the decision whether to continue pursuing 2D animation or completely follow their intuition and move forward - Even if that meant starting all over again. Months after that pivotal decision they decided to strategically alter their course towards what they love most, what would better engineer their wild imaginations, and most importantly guide their Creative Compasses: Creating Video Games.
