Richard Short, Karrie Fransman and Posy Simmonds
This show was recorded live at the Illustrato.rs Lineup show at the Mall Galleries, London on the 4th May. Dan Berry spoke to Richard Short, Karrie Fransman and Posy Simmonds about their work, their approach and the challenges in creating long-form work.
A word of warning though – this was recorded in an art gallery, so the acoustics were terrible. The recording is actually better than the live sound on the day though. Big echoey white walls may be great for hanging art, but they aren’t so good for reproducing those soft intimate Make It Then Tell Everybody tones that you’ve grown accustomed to.

Live! London! Short! Fransman! Simmonds!
This Saturday, the 4th of May there will be a live Make It Then Tell Everybody as part of the Illustrato.rs Lineup event at the Mall Galleries just off Trafalgar Square in London, next door to the ICA.
I will be joined by the wonderful Richard Short, Karrie Fransman and Posy Simmonds, author of Tamara Drewe and Gemma Bovary. We’ll likely be chatting about the blurred lines between comics and illustration, but who knows where the mood will take us.
The event is free, but has limited places, so arriving early is advisable. Plus you’ll want to get around the Independent Comics Fair which is also part of the Illustrato.rs Lineup show. Oh, it’s Free Comic Book Day too. So the best thing to do would be to set aside the whole day so you can dedicate your full attention properly to comics for the day.
Interview on The Beat
I don’t know if anyone is at all interested, but I got interviewed by Steve Morris over at the Beat.
A comics lecturer and creator, Dan Berry both writes and draws his own work — such as the forthcoming The Suitcase from Blank Slate Books. But on top of that, he’s also launched a podcast fairly recently, in which he sits down with a number of writers, artists, creators, in order to talk about creation, process, and publishing. Make It Then Tell Everybody is the name of the show, and it’s quickly become one of the must-listen comics podcasts available. Informative, fascinating and warm, it also has some belting pastoral theme music.
That’s a nice thing to say don’t you think? Read the whole thing here.

Prints!
As part of the ongoing effort to cover the costs of the show, I present to you this hand made 3 colour screen print designed by Kristyna Baczynski;
What is it for? Well, this is a relatively inexpensive way for me to offer something other than an email of thanks for a donation to the show.
These prints are part one of a longer plan to bring out more beautiful Make It Then Tell Everybody items designed by the wonderful Kristyna Baczynski. We’ve got some very cool stuff planned, watch this space.
