The Inky Fingers Podcast

[Simon Beigh]

My good friend, Skullmo, and I are putting together a brand new podcast all about the world of Comic Art Collecting. We are just in the process of finishing the final edit for our first show, which will introduce us and explain a bit about comic art collecting as well as what future shows will feature.

I'm going to try and keep this thread up-to-date with the latest news, but if you use other social media outlets you can follow us by going to:

Facebook: http://www.facebook.com/Inky.Fingers.Art and 'liking' us
Twitter: http://www.twitter.com/InkyFingersArt and 'following' us

We will be posting additional material (like links to the images of art we are discussing that episode) and links to all the podcasts on our blog page:

http://inkyfingerspodcast.blogspot.co.uk

And we will be on iTunes too, and I'll post the link to that when we 'go live'.

So what can you expect? Well, we hope to have some very special guests in future episodes and we will be discussing anything and everything about Comic Art Collecting. As Skullmo and I are big 2000AD fans, then that comic is likely to feature a lot, but we are not limiting ourselves to Toothy. We'll go beyond and maybe even into the murky world of American comics But we aren't giving much away at this stage - you'll have to listen to the first episode to find out more

We also hope it will interest collectors, and non-collectors, alike. Basically, if you like comics, we hope you'll like it!

So we've just finished our first round of audience testing for our first episode, so thanks to everyone who took part in that. We are still perfecting the art of podcasting, so our first attempt ain't perfect, but we're pretty pleased with it (although Skullmo is a little grumpy our wandering into reviewing the Dredd movies got cut )...

Happy to hear any thoughts on this thread, Twitter, Facebook or Blog comments... First blog post is up now!

That was a good listen, lads – well done. I'll admit, when you posted you were doing an original art-related podcast, my first thought was "Cool idea, but what sort of format will it take and how will they sustain it?" I think your first entry has explained that pretty well though. How regularly do you chaps intend on doing it? Looking forward to future episodes.

Oh, and bonus points for starting with a bit of Treguard.

[Simon Beigh]

Thanks for the feedback, Greg, and glad you enjoyed it...

Julius and I are hoping to do one a month. We are both busy, and the interviews we want to do are with busy people, but we are aiming to get it done every month...

Ah - Mr Skullmo must take credit for the intro

I'll have a listen while walkin me dug this afternoon. Looking forward to it.

Good fun guys.
I'd demand a guest spot regarding Lew Stringer artwork obsessions, but ye'd need to hire a translator for my nasal whine (compared to your dulcet tones)!

[Proteus4]

Had a listen today. Some of it was interesting and your personalities came across well. One part made me laugh though...

"So now we're going to talk about the three main ways to buy art; eBay, dealers and direct from artists. Over to you"
"Yes. Those are the three main ways."
"Thanks."

Looking forward to the podcast proper and the interviews etc.

But seriously, you need to just get your hicklenton stuff out and talk about that for an hour. So jealous.

Cheers
Dave

Thanks for feedback Link & Dave!

Be happy to have you on the show, Link - nasal whine of not!

[Andrew_J]

Great first episode chaps. Really enjoyed the banter between you both; you sound like the If There Is Hell Below of original comic art collecting. Have subscribed to the feed and looking forward to upcoming episodes.

[Simon Beigh]

Julius and I have completed our interview today with a fantastic and legendary creator. We are hoping to release the next podcast on the 1st June - but we are up against it in terms of getting all the editing done!

Fingers crossed...

[Skullmo]

We can do it!


(Well, you can)

[Simon Beigh]

I shall edit like the wind

You've set your stall out very well in the intro episode, chaps.

Good luck with future episodes!
