Episode 10 - Fight The Fear

In our 10th Episode of the HTDC Podcast Clayton Barton and Ric Bülow are joined by guest artist Nick Melanshek to discuss his art, process and the challenges he's faced as a comic book creator. Nick is the author and illustrator of two self published series titled "White Cell Inoculation" and "Big Man Down". For the past several years he's put his head down to develop his skill set and bring the stories he wants to tell to the world. But as many artists know this is often a time of true trial and tribulation, as an artist searches deep to overcome fear and self doubt. We talk with Nick about his journey through these different fazes of self discovery - the moment he got serious about his work, letting go of perfectionist expectations, the taxing experience of his first issue, and how now he's reached a point now where he's able to produce a book once per month while raising a family.
