The Terrible Anvil - Detours!
Hi! Welcome back to The Terrible Anvil! Tom Hart and Jess Ruliffson love to talk about making comic-making EASIER, and in this episode, we’re talking about Art Detours!.
Season 2 | Episode 3: Detours!
In this episode, Tom and Jess take some detours, to talk about developing one’s instincts, through deadlines.
We talked about Present Tim and Future Tim (“What has Future Tim ever done for me?!”) we talked about going to the grocery store hungry, and leaving typos in your work! Being lenient with yourself!
Then answered a question about how to not take free work from friends (spoiler alert: ‘No.’ is a complete sentence!)
We hope you’ll join us in the 2026 Graphic Novel Intensive (GNI)! See you there!
Next week on The Terrible Anvil, we will revisit a graphic novel we both worked on, The Odyssey of Sergeant Jack Brennan
Thanks for being here!
