Webcomics watchmen Dave Kellett and Brad Guigar are talking Inktober with Jake Parker, the founder of Inktober. They discuss Inktober, how it started, and where it’s going.

BUT FIRST, Dave’s niece sums up his fashion sense with brutal accuracy.

Show notes

00:00 — Dave’s fashion sense is “Costco New Balance shoes and a single-color polo.”

03:06 — Introducing Jake Parker, founder of Inktober

03:38 — A look inside the Inktober inbox

07:26 — What is Inktober?

10:22 — Inktober is one of many, many equally-good art-related challenges this month

24:14 — Is digital art allowed in Inktober?

28:16 — The psychology of Inktober

29:37 — Now that Dave’s Kickstarter is over, the gang talks about what they’ve done that has worked well on Kickstarter — and what hasn’t worked so well.

48:42 — Brad has officially convinced Dave to try Backerkit!

49:36 — How far do you take a pencil sketch before you start inking?

59:59 — Jake has talked to his podcast co-hosts about having Brad as a guest on their show. That talk, evidently, went very, very bad.
