After a hiatus, we're back! Here's an interview with Nicholas Winstead. Nicholas is a mold-maker, visual and make-up artist. Since he primarily works on monsters, we talked about the importance of horror and strange creatures.

In this episode, I interview illustrator, animator and comic book artist Milton Aguiar.

Milton is an artist who wears many hats. At just twenty-one, he is currently penciling, inking, coloring and lettering his own fifty-page comic book project Raptor. He is the founder of the comic book publishing company ImaginAction Comics. He is also an animator and designer.
