The latest edition of the Steve Ogden Braincast is up online. In this episode, I continue talking about creating and writing characters, focusing on characters who evolved from a narrative need, specifically Moon Town TV news commentators Triple Bee and Savannah Bonn. Also, I chat briefly with my son Thomas about his thoughts on character as he wraps up pre-production on his own forthcoming webcomic Fetch the Bee. Music – Can’t Fool Me and The Trees Ask, by Steve Ogden; theme to Cosmic Osmo by Tim Larkin.

Wow! Our first piece of Fan Art has come in, and what a treat! It’s by my buddy David Reddick, artist and creator of Legend of Bill as well as about a thousand other comics you probably know and love. David and I collaborated on two stories for his upcoming Legend of Bill collection. If you haven’t pre-ordered your copy yet, jump on it. It’s the only way you’ll get to read those stories, cuz they won’t be published anywhere else in the foreseeable future.

David drew this pic of Cassie on the plane on his way back from a recent trip to Las Vegas, where he was busy being a Famous Artist and all around Star Trek Big Shot for his work with Roddenberry’s sci-fi empire. Sounds  like it was a great trip, and I know he enjoyed himself immensely. Really nice for him to draw up a little Moon Town action (and he included my favorite Bar Wench from Legend of Bill to boot.) Thanks, David!
