  • Patrick Carson Sparrow : Batman is Not a Good Person

    Patrick Carson Sparrow : Batman is Not a Good Person
    2024/12/24
    Welcome back everybody! This very special episode is a conversation with comic-book artist, Patrick Carson Sparrow. Its also a candid chat between two people who yes, are artists who love monsters but are also middle-aged dads, trying to figure out how to get all the needs met, and sometimes struggle with mental health issues. So we talk about fatherhood, marriage, ADHD, day jobs, depression, anxiety and how we manage to get any of our personal art done.
    So this is a trigger-warning that the subject of self harm, suicidal ideation, domestic abuse, come up and if you’re not in a good place to be hearing about that, maybe turn us off at the half-hour mark.
    988 is the number for the Suicide and Crisis Lifeline. Talk to anyone about it, really!
    We also talk about Batman (the dark, effed-up version) Conan the Barbarian and Bryan Cranston (the Walter White and the Malcom Dad versions).

  • Director, David Hartman and The Minnesota Iceman

    Director, David Hartman and The Minnesota Iceman
    2024/12/11
    *STAY TUNED AFTER THIS EP! a track from the David Hartman (as Zorgon) Electronica album, D1m3n51on X
    This week I’m joined by Director and Storyboard Artist, David Hartman. He’s the Director of the 2016 film, Phantasm: Ravager. Plus 25 years worth of other film and Television work like Godzilla: the Series, Astroboy, Jackie Chan Adventures, Laser Fart and the animated video for Rob Zombie’s American Witch. Just to list a few.
    He’s also done storyboarding and artwork for Tenacious D, Bubba Ho-Tep, the Boondocks, Tranformers Prime, Jurassic World: Camp Cretaceous, Extreme Ghostbusters and John Dies at the End and more.
    Above all(?) He’s a phenomenal artist who loves to draw monsters!
    ***
    ON ART: We talk about the benefits of drawing first thing in the morning, keeping your dogs away from your Apple Pencil, the disturbing drawings and destroyed toys of our childhoods, and how storyboarding on Bubba Ho Two led to David directing the 2016 film Phantasm Ravager. Plus a boatload of movie geek talk about Mario Baba Inframan YOR: the Hunter from the Future, Legend of Boggy Creek, Yeti: Giant of the 20rh Century. And David made short films for Dan Harmon, and Rob Schrab’s Channel 101. We talk about that too!
    ON MONSTERS: At an early age, David had a run-in with a Bigfoot-like creature known as the Minnesota Iceman. Is the term “run-in” a wild exaggeration? Listen and find out!

  • Dark Rides and Haunted Houses with Animation Artist, Reed Randolph

    Dark Rides and Haunted Houses with Animation Artist, Reed Randolph
    2024/11/19
    Reed Randolph is an animation artist, most recently working as a character designer on Exposing Kittens.
    This week Ben's chatting with Reed about how he went from working as a teenage Scare Artist in the famous steel factory-turned haunted house, Sloss Fright Furnace to designing for an indie Dark Ride.
    In between he worked with Jim Henson Company, desiged concept art for Blippi’s Treehouse and went to Ringling College of Art (not necessarily in that order!) The guys talk about going to art school and whether its still recommended for young artists these days. What’s it like to pitch a "dark ride" to IAAPA? (The Global Association for the Attractions Industry) What's the best paint for black-light artwork? Reed has stories about that too!

  • Time-Sucks! Dealing with Procrastination and Distractions : Doomed Megalopolis the Last Megalopolis

    Time-Sucks! Dealing with Procrastination and Distractions : Doomed Megalopolis the Last Megalopolis
    2024/11/05
    This week, Illustrator, Creator (and your host) Ben Walker-Storey talks about his two big time-sucks: Procrastination and Distractions, what could be at the root of these problems and some thoughts, tricks and tips on working around them.
    Then its time to talk about monsters! We need to talk about the 1988 film, Doomed Megalopolis the Last Megalopolis (or Tokyo: The Last Megalopolis) from Director, Akio Jissôji
    Ben does his best to avoid big, clinical words or armchair diagnosis but (spoiler) this episode is monstly about mental health issues like Anxiety, Depression and ADHD.
    Regardless of any neurodivergence (dammit! a big clinical word) you may or may not have, Ben has some tips that have helped him stay more productive in recent years and get back into what was so fun about art before adulthood and money was involved. If nothing else let's remember to go easy on ourselves.
    This episode is brought to you by the Cheap Chills Etsy shop. Ben’s designed a bunch of T-shirts and prints for people who love spooky weird stuff, custom art brushes for Clip Studio Paint and there's even some vintage toys and clothes for you to check out.

  • Found Footage Festival's Nick Prueher on Carpenter's The Thing

    Found Footage Festival's Nick Prueher on Carpenter's The Thing
    2024/10/22
    Welcome to Cheap Chills on Art and Monsters. I probably need a new intro but I do love the announcer I snagged for the original cheap chills podcast.
    This week's guest is Nick Prueher, best known as being half of the Found Footage Festival team along with his childhood friend, Joe Pickett.
    Nick is also a film producer writer having writen for The Onion and Late Night with David Letterman.
    We came together to talk about his favorite monster, John Carpenter's The Thing, but of course we got into what it's like being the funny, creative weirdo in your small town, irrational fears that could make a good horror movie, some of the movies that horrified us as kids and how hot Dianne Franklin is in Better Off Dead.

  • Bride of Frankenstein with Isabel Samaras

    Bride of Frankenstein with Isabel Samaras
    2024/10/09
    I am so thrilled to bring you the conversation for this episode! I got a chance to catch up with my friend, world renown painter, Isabel Samaras. Years before we ever met I discovered her work through art magazines like Juxtapoz and Hi Fructose. I was blown away by Isabel’s work because she’s not just an incredible painter but she’s someone who has a take on popular culture, romance and humor that is all her own.
    There's literally too much to go over with Isabel as far as monsters and pop culture characters. But we get into our love for The Bride of Frankenstein and how we as artists can use imagery to add to popular stories and even give our beloved fictitious characters a more fulfilling life.
    Apologies to A24, the movie we were talking about is The Hole in the Ground, not A Hole in the Woods or whatever Ben said.
    Here's some heady subjects for you artists: Are you making art you think an audience wants or creating what excites you and bringing people along for the ride? And do you have “Kulaks” in your portfolio?

    Horror Movies by The Bollock Brothers
    2024/09/24
    Welcome to the Cheap Chills podcast, where artists can talk, mostly about monsters.
    This week, Ben breaks down one major bit of inspiration from his past: The Bollock Brothers song, Horror Movies.
    How many of the movies mentioned in this song have we seen?
    Then, in a very special “Let’s Check in with Ben” Ben talks about stress and burnout in what amounts to an explanation for why this podcast is going bi-weekly.
    The episode wraps up with a segment about Ben’s process for illustration work and how he’s using it to make artwork for #MonsterFunkMonday. Yeah, we’re making monsters and posting them on Instagram, Mondays.
    This is episode is brought to you by the Cheap Chills shop on Etsy. Ben’s designed a bunch of T-shirts and prints for people who love spooky weird stuff. There’s new stickers and prints coming and even some of the vintage toys and clothes for you to check out.

    What We’ve Learned from Ed Wood and Large Marge, with David DeGrand
    2024/09/10
    I think you’re really like this episode. I Got to chat with cartoonist, David DeGrand. His art is mixes elements of silly, cute and gross in a way that really gets me excited to draw.
    We also came in with an agenda; to talk about our shared all-time favorite movies, Pee Wee's Big Adventure and Ed Wood.
    But we also get into David’s background and influences and his wildly cool list of clients. Mad Magazine, comic book treatments of SpongeBob, The Simpsons, Garfield, Adventure Time, Uncle Grandpa, and his work appears in the newest video for Weird Al Yankovic!

    Oh and we warm up by talking about our experiences with folks who are worried about things like vaccines magnetizing them and the coming apocalypse.
