This was a thrill (despite my nerves)! Apologies for the all the stuttering. You'd never know I used to make my living on the Tee Vee. But my life doesn't have a script ;'P

@slowhed 6 ай бұрын

Great interview! Always wanted to hear you talk shop! If you don't mind me asking, which brush are you using, you mentioned it has a cartridge? I'd love to know more about it!

@philbarrera6117 6 ай бұрын

@@slowhedI remember reading years ago that Allred reached out to Charles Burns early in his career, who recommended using a #0 brush for inking. Update: Oh, he goes into it in this very interview. 😄

I grew up in Eugene, where Mr. Allred currently resides, and had the good fortune to meet him several times as we both had a subscription box at the same comic shop. If you bought one of his books and had the shop owner put it in his box for you, he would sign your stuff whenever he came in. He would pop into the shop every Wednesday and always took the time to talk with anyone who approached him, no matter how busy his schedule was. Mike Allred is one of the kindest, most giving people I've ever met.

Mike is the Paul Newman of comics. At the very top of his game. Successful. Champion of the medium. Family man. Hard worker. Supporter of younger artists who look up to him. Oh…and on the side …he’s also a rockstar. Absolute LEGEND.

@Michael-tf8om 6 ай бұрын

That's incredibly flattering. HUGE admirer of the Pauls (Newman & McCartney), who are fine inspiring examples of life well lived.

Mike Allred pops up here and there in the comments section of comic related live broadcasts and he is never less than a wonderful and warm human being. Discovering this as I discovered his work has made me a fan for life. Another fabulous interview. A BIG thank you to all involved.

Mike Allred is and has been in my top 5 since picking up Madman Adventures #1 as a kid. And he's always been nothing but kind and supportive when he's passed my booth at cons over the years even though I doubt he knows me from Adam. A+ dude.

@thetonycanepa 6 ай бұрын

The brush pen Mike is referring to at 12:18 is the Pentel Pigment Ink Brush Pen - Extra Fine (FP5F). With the Pentel brush pens, the grey handled pens are pigment inks which are waterproof while the black handles are aqueous.

Allred is in my top 3 of all time. That art style is so iconic. Laura's colors really make it shine though. A dynamic duo of epic proportions. We're all lucky to have them.

I've been a Mike Allred fan for 30 some years and somehow never heard him talk, never had an impression of his demeanor and personality outside of what comes across in a magazine interview. I'm so happy he is such a cool, humble guy. Also, back when I first got email back in 1994, somehow I got Mike Allred's email address and he graciously responded to my message asking about his drawing tools where he also turned me on to Windsor & Newton series 7 #2 brushes.

Yes, yes, couldn’t agree more. The Sergio and Seth shoots were another level. I think it’s because Sergio and Seth are characters.

If Solo came back, it would get me to buy a DC book again. Hell, I’d expand it into a Shonen Jump thick type publication.

This was so great! I could listen to Mike talk about The Prisoner all day. Laura’s offscreen comments (“teacher’s pet!”) just made me want a dual interview even more. Maybe a deep dive into Grafik Muzik when the Madman Library Vol. 6 comes out…

@donaldglass2421 6 ай бұрын

damn I love shoot interviews. I think I have said this before but the one thing in common I see with all these artists is that they all seem composed and at least on some level got their shit together, there is definitely something they all seem to have in common. there are a couple exceptions of course lol, but i think it just shows what it takes to have the dedication to make all the shit they have made.

Made my day!👍Madman 3 issue mini series came out around the same time my father was sick and passed away and that quirky fun read got me through it! The corner of the book has a little Madman dancing and clever as hell flip book! Been there over the years, The Atomics,Catwoman mini series with Darwyn Cooke,Superman/Madman Hoolabaloo , Solo (Hourman with a Chris Ware homage and the New Gods short!🎯) and of course 29 issues of Silver Surfer ❤️! Ed is correct Laura Allred is a excellent color artist! Great combo! Hopefully they will both come back sooner than later 🤞! Keep reading and making comix!😎

A couple years back I kept hearing the rumor that Mike Allred was closely related to a certain famous feminist lawyer. It took me a while to research that situation, but I believe I finally debunked it. However, feel free to add anything that may change my conclusion. Meanwhile it's so great that the dynamic CK duo are interviewing easily one of my Top 10 favorite living comics artists. Thanks guys and Mike!

Ha, I use the Japanese waterbrush too. I use the Pentel Fude brush. They come in different sizes too. I could neve get the Raphael or Windsor Newton's to work. I think I always get one that splits like Mike said, and they were too expensive to keep buying and trying.
