Description
As a kid, anytime Paul Madonna visited a relative's house, he made a habit out of racing for the newspapers and diving into the comic strips. It wasn't until years later, studying fine art at Carnegie Mellon, that this memory came rushing back as he realized his life's work wouldn't be in painting or illustration but rather an amalgam of words and pictures built on the foundation of the panel comics he's always loved. On this episode of Making Ways, award-winning artist and writer Paul Madonna discusses his journey and the hard work and hustle he put in for over a decade before his beloved All Over Coffee series began running in the San Francisco Chronicle. Paul shares great stories about his internship at MAD magazine, the university professor who tried to have him expelled, and the advice he would give his younger self today. Listen in to hear how Paul carved his own unique path and cultivated the drive that still fuels his curiosity and creative pursuits today. Paul also talks all about his new illustrated novel Close Enough for the Angels. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
