This episode we attempt to help make the world a slightly more pleasant place by providing critiques to listeners! Last episode we invited people to send in their art for us to view and discuss, and we got a lot of them, so this will be part one of a two-part extravaganza! It's been a while since we've done a critique episode, so we hope you enjoy.

Episode 108--influence and reference deference...
In episode 108 of the NM Podcast, Patrick, Socar, Kieran, and Jeremy once again join together on the meandering road of conversation of all things arty ( and some topics---not so much).

Enjoy as Kieran, Socar, and Patrick are back, with listener questions (well, one, at least), and some general banter. Oh, and news about Socar's upcoming art technique book.

Episode 105 -Bigger than Life (repost)
Hello, faithful listener. It's been a while, but we have an ENORMOUS episode to make up for the delay. First, Jeremy, Patrick, Drew, Socar and possibly Eric discuss a listener question from Jeremy Rathbone, and engage in some of the witty banter you've come to expect from much, much less entertaining people.
Then, because we know what you crave in the dark recesses of your soul, there's another feature-length segment featuring a GenCon wrap-up! Ralph Horsley and guests Paul "Prof" Herbert and Chris Burdett join Drew and Jeremy for a wide-ranging con-related discussion. If you like this sort of thing, then rest assured, it's the sort of thing you'll like.

Thanks for your order. Please drive through.
(PS - for some reason we can't even begin to understand, some people got episode 015 instead of 105 originally here. Failing to figure that out, we've just reposted the whole thing. We almost feel like apologizing for the inconvenience. )

Episode 104--Sketchoholics need not be anonymous.
In this week's episode Kieran, Drew, Socar, and Jeremy are joined by Marcin Migdal of the popular art community known as Sketchoholic.com !
We discuss the goals of the website and its surrounding community along with their Sketchozine series of publications.
Marcin tells all about the various projects, contests, and features of this most excellent site and calls all ninjas to action. To have your work potentially published and promoted by Sketchoholic, head on over and share your work!
We also take a couple of listener questions from Max Antonov, and Eve Bolt.
The episode:
GenCon is almost here and panelists Drew Baker, Kieran Yanner, Ralph Horsley, and Jeremy McHugh will be on hand to celebrate the 4 best days in gaming!
We are currently planning to gather after hours at the Hyatt Bar in dowtown Indy. Hope you can join us! The candy red recorder will be on hand to do a little impromptu podcastery, if you care to join in the festivities!
Sheer capitalistic interest requires Jeremy to announce that the first 20 page volume of his favorite Daily Warm-ups will be available at the convention art show. Come and check it out!

Episode 103-At the Edge-Art of the Fantastic. An upcoming exhibition of Fantastic Art.
In this episode Jeremy and Drew join returning guest, Patrick Wilshire ( of Illuxcon fame) to discuss a new event he is organizing with the Allentown Art Museum to help bring fantasy art to the masses.
They are organizing a huge exhibition entitled "At The Edge- Art of the Fantastic" that will represent many icons of fantasy art from the 1800's through the Golden Age and on into today!
The largest single exhibition of its kind to take place in a mainstream museum!
The conversation ranges from the trials of assembling such a beast of a show to further discussion of digital art.
It was an interesting interview and discussion that we hope you will enjoy.
Make sure to weigh in on the discussion in our comments section!

Episode 102--Questions and Answers ( or reasonable facsimiles there of)).
In this episode Socar, Drew, Kieran, and Jeremy join forces to answer questions culled from facebook response to our desperate call for show topics.
Many thanks to all who dropped us their questions for this episode! We had a blast discussing them.
Apologies for the lateness of this episode. Jeremy is buried in work and preparations for an event he is overseeing in his hometown so editing time was at a severe premium.
He's also been hiding in his basement in fear of ninja monkeys with guns.
We hope you enjoy the show!
Episode 102
Questions came from the following fine listeners:
Joshua ( aka Roguetaxi)
Links of note:
OSHA guidelines for optimal ergonomics ( This one's for you Roguetaxi! Plenty of great info in there).
***Don't forget to get your World Toilet Day cards ready! We'd love to see your take on what a Hallmark card would look like for that revered holiday. :)
***Share with us your convention horror stories!
note: We lost Kieran at some point in the recording. He was not devoured by his dogs as our dire imaginations had posited. The internet merely proved a fickle hellcat and stole him from us the rest of the show. He'll be back soon!

Wait 'til you hear about this tome. It is going to be awesome!

Episode 95--Waiting for FaceBook...
In this episode Drew ( with evil goatee), Socar, Eric, and Jeremy discuss the recent uproar in the comics community surrounding copyright infringement and a certain artist that will go unnamed ( unless you totally want to name him in the show notes...that's cool).
http://mchughstudios.com/ninjamountain_podcast/episode_95.mp3
If you've an anecdote you'd like to share or a convention experience that went awry--we want to hear all about it!
*Note--
We have recently changed the rating for this show to "Explicit".
This just means that most naughty language will no longer be covered with a "BLEEP".
We hope this doesn't harm your sense of "bility".
The show will remain otherwise unchanged for your listening pleasure. :)
Thanks for joining in the fun!

Patrick news
Hi, faithful listener(s)! Patrick here to say I'll be at Wondercon in San Francisco this weekend, Saturday and Sunday only (4/2/11 and 4/3/11) in the Small Press area, table SP-53. I'll be sharing the table with the talented Jules Rivera of the wonderful Marsh Rocket web-comic series (which I've mentioned on the show in the past).
I'll have the always awesome Ninja Mountain digital recording device with me, so if you stop by and mention the show I'll record your voice for the next program! How's that for an exciting reason to come to the show?
I'll have plenty of stuff to sell too - my graphic novel Starkweather: Immortal, postcards, prints, and a brand new poster: "The H.P. Lovecraft Rules of Survival". And of course sketches at popular prices. :)
In addition, I'll have a charity postcard with art from my new comics project "World War Kaiju" - all proceeds for that will go to Doctors Without Borders, who are currently doing great work in Japan and worldwide. Find out more about World War Kaiju here.
See you there!
-Patrick
