Episode 47 - Pascal Blanche talks Naruto, Cameron's Avatar, and working as an Art Director for games
Pascal Blanche
This month's interview is with artist Pascal Blanche. He's been known to CG art enthusiasts for a great many years now as he's been posting work on the web for near a decade or more. It's his art and influences, in fact, that lead me to many of my current interests and even long held friendships.
So, it was only appropriate to bring him on for an interview, as an excuse to publicly thank him for his contributions to my life, but also to find out more about the mind behind some of my favourite internet art pieces. From his childhood interest in entomology, to how that lead him on his path to his current role as Art Director at Ubisoft. We even touch on his most recent project, the videogame companion piece to James Cameron's Avatar. It's an interesting conversation. .
Episode 46: Iron-Man DVD Fan Commentary

This month's interview is an encore with indie comics creator Tom Manning. We first met him in Episode 13, back in 2007.
