A Conversation with Illustrator AJ Dungo

Welcome to Season 3, Episode 29. We had a great conversation with illustrator, graphic novelist, and surfing and skateboarding enthusiast, AJ Dungo. His first graphic novel, In Waves, is a beautiful work that focuses on love, loss, and surfing. It tells the story of surfing, Duke Kahanomoku, Tom Blake, and the passing of AJ's partner Kristen. In this conversation, we discuss AJ's artistic style, the writing of In Waves, grief, surfing and skateboarding culture, and so much more. To see more of AJ Dungo's work, be sure to go to his website, follow his instagram, and buy In Waves through the Nobrow or the Penguin links.
