Jeffrey Brown and Dan Berry talk in front of a live audience in an acoustically challenged room at the excellent Thought Bubble Festival in Leeds. Talking points include getting into comics, four-point advice for aspiring artists and landing a job drawing Star Wars comics.

I’ve been running Make It Then Tell Everybody for a little over a year now. When I started I wasn’t sure that the show would last this long. I was worried that I’d run out of people to talk to or questions to ask or worse, no-one would be listening.

I was exhibiting at the Thought Bubble festival this year and was genuinely touched by people coming to my table to tell me how much they enjoy the show, how it had helped them cope with their insecurities as an artist and how it had introduced them to the work of people they’d not heard of before. It was really great. Thanks Everybody!

So here’s what I want.

If you enjoy the show, please donate some money to help me pay for it. I’ve got server and hosting costs, equipment to buy and travelling to do more interviews in person. It’s not an enormous amount, but it certainly adds up to a few hundred pounds over the course of a year. In 2014 I want to upgrade my equipment, do more interviews in person and cover all my technical costs.

If you do a one-off donation, that’s great, thanks! If you do a recurring donation each month, that’s also great! Thanks Very Much!
