- Crowdfinders 14In this episode of Crowdfiners Podcast hosted by David Pluscauskas, Benny Lo, an artist working in the video games industry (Saints Row 2, 3, 4), shares his experiences on making his mini comic book series, "Demise" and what drives him to creating amazing art. As a new immigrant during the late 80's, Benny faced a culture shock but video games like the Street Fighter series, and comic books, such as the Storm Riders series gave him an escape. Lets will find out exactly how his early exposure to video games and comic books also helped inspired him artistically.Street Fighters is a popular fighting game series. Some of its well known characters are Ryu, Ken, Chun Li, Guile, Akuma/Gouki."Storm Riders" is the English translation version of Fung Wan, a manhua series originated in Hong Kong. It is drawn by the well known artist, Ma Wing Shing.It is also known as "Wind and Cloud".Find Ben Here (and be sure to shout out to him, he's an awesome dude):https://twitter.com/Spoonfeedheroeshttp://spoonfeedheroes.tumblr.com/http://www.spoonfeedheroes.com/48 min

This episode it was my distinct pleasure to talk with Eric Seaton, creator of the graphic novel series Legend of the Mantamaji (and award winnig television director, but he's not one to brag so I will do it for him)
Notes on Eric and Legends of the Mantamaji:
Television director Eric Dean Seaton’s first graphic novel series is a tale exploding with brilliant art, action-packed adventure, true-to-life characters, and a smart and twisting plotline.
Published by “And… Action!” Entertainment, Legend of the Mantamaji tells the story of Elijah Alexander, a rising Assistant District Attorney in New York who learns he is the last of a race of mystical knights called the Mantamaji, who once protected mankind. When an ancient evil is resurrected, Elijah has to learn to turn his back on everything he’s worked for, accept his birthright, and learn how to use his magical warrior abilities to defeat the greatest threat the Mantamaji ever faced—without being distracted by his grief, his anger, and one terrible betrayal.
Legend of the Mantamaji is a three-book graphic novel series whose sweeping tale of magic and mystery, heroes and villains, has a fresh look, a modern setting—and an ancient beat.
Eric Dean Seaton has directed a plethora of television episodes, music videos, and sitcom pilots since his debut directing Disney Channel’s top-rated sitcom, “That’s So Raven” in 2004, but he’s dreamt of being a comic book creator since his childhood in Cleveland, Ohio. Eric, his wife, son and daughter live in California.

Beau contacted me to be on Crowdfinderds but hewasn't sure if he was a good choice because he had to put his book, INside, on hiatus because he got a traffic fine. It sounded interesting, it was. Not all about comics, but a fun freewheeling discussion.

Matt Hill's Journey -
Reading ‘Wild Children’ by Ales Kot and Riley Rossmo. This was the first story that made me believe I could write for the comic medium.
Got ahead of myself and submitted ‘War of the Pacifist’ to Image at a time when the story and preview wasn’t strong enough.
Terminal C Reddit Winning Comic http://imgur.com/a/5QN6F

Once there, he meets a number of strange people and experiences revealing nightmares about his mysterious past. It starts to become clear that something is wrong with Chris… Something evil and powerful is lurking inside him…A few of the characters you can expect to see in AntiChris is Renai, a werepire (half vampire, half werewolf, in case you were wondering), Theresa, the manager of the house with a secret objective, a janitor who has a certain taste for corpses, an Irish dude with a filthy mouth, and a demon with a connection to Chris. Zombies crash through the house, Satanic rituals are completely botched, cats are demonically possessed, and road trips across the United States are embarked on!Join the campy and surreal-ish fun for only .99 cents! Also, your support would be greatly appreciated and you can follow us on FaceBook: https://www.facebook.com/AntiChrisTheComic and follow us on Twitter @Anti666Chris!Writer Jojo King is located in Kentucky and is currently working on five other miniseries called “Life & Death”, “The Forest”, “Mulberry St”, “Crystal’s Odyssey”, and “Hale & Back”. Additionally he has a short appearing in the horror comic anthology “The Midnight Candle” from Vivifica Studios. He spends his time writing, working part time, and attending college as a fulltime student. He also tends to spend most of his time surviving life with his beautiful and witty fiance. A 19 year old raised on 80s film, Jojo King aims to make the most irreverent, original, and f*cked up comics he can. Think David Lynch mixed with some Robocop with a touch of Friday the 13th thrown in for good measure. His favorite creators are the crazy canucks who dub themselves Astron-6: http://astron-6.com/Also an avid listener to Marilyn Manson: http://www.marilynmanson.com/You can check out Ken Reynolds website here: http://t.co/juk5QGGzUVYou can also keep an eye peeled for an upcoming series from writer Jojo King called “SinEater”! It is drawn and lettered by Chase Dunham. It is completed and is looking for a publisher to call home.Twitter: @Anti666ChrisFaceBook: https://www.facebook.com/AntiChrisTheComicCoast Comics Store: http://www.coast-comics.com/store.html36 min
