TELL THE DAMN STORY, ep 316: Father-Daughter Duo Discuss Writing Comics, Myths, & Environmental Ed.
Here we go with another exciting episode of "Tell The Damn Story"!
Today, Alex and Chris return to the fascinating world of comic book creation with special guests Juan Espinosa and his daughter, Grace.
Juan is the writer/creator of the comic book series "Adventures of A System Admin."
Juan shares how he utilized Alex's book, "The Art of Making Comics," to develop his own comics.
We also get a sneak peek into Grace's upcoming first-edition comic, perfectly timed for late August's comic book convention season.
The episode also highlights Grace's first comic book story. Scheduled to debut this fall.
We also discuss her voiceover debut in a new environmental project, "Coki Wiki," inspired by the coqui frog of Puerto Rico. Grace had the opportunity to take part in the intricate process of working with a talented team of artists worldwide. This included voice actors like Leslie Carrera-Rudolph, known for her character Lolly Lardpott.
Dad (Juan) shares insight into the intriguing folklore and mythology-inspired story "El Gallipote" and discusses the social commentaries embedded in his work.
As we explore these dynamic stories and creative processes, we also touch on the family dynamics and collaborative spirit that fuel Juan and Grace's projects. Perfect topics for a Father’s Day episode.
