An Irishman Abroad

Will Sliney: What's The Irish For Illustration?


Listen Later

Acclaimed comic artist and now host of "Draw With Will" on Sky TV speaks to Jarlath from his home in Ballycotton county Cork. Will has worked for the biggest studios and franchises in the comic book universe including Star Wars and Marvel. His work on Spiderman is vast but he still finds time to work on a multitude of other projects such as a breathtaking mural in Cork city, his own best-selling comic series on The Celtic Warrior Cú Chulainn and instructional videos for kids. Jarlath and Will bond over how little was known about comic books in Ireland in the 90s, the role Derek Davis played in discovering his talent and that first trip to Comic Con where it all began. For even more on how Will Sliney eventually got his break and how he funded the journey, become an Irishman Abroad patron by heading over to www.patreon.com/irishmanabroad where you can hear the full uncut version of this interview.
