The guy behind Mythbusters' blueprints – with Producer & Cartoonist Eric Haven

from Try This at Home: A Mythbusters Rewatch · host trythisathomepod

When you think of Mythbusters, a few things come to mind: epic explosions, wild experiments… and rectal probes. But one of the most iconic elements of the show? Those unforgettable blueprint drawings. This week, Cliff and Harrison are joined by Eric Haven — cartoonist, producer, and the mastermind behind many of those legendary sketches. An Industrial Light & Magic alum, Eric joined MythBusters alongside the Build Team (and past guest Peter Heap!) and transformed the show's storytelling with nothing more than a silver Sharpie and serious artistic chops. Over the years, he created hundreds of blueprint sequences that became a signature of the series. This week, Eric shares how he got involved with the Mythbusters team and what it was liking shaping the show's visual identity – even if he didn't realize it at the time.   Produced by Slug Line Media Hosted by Cliff Bumgardner and Harrison Stewart Music by the Mysterious Breakmaster Cylinder Cover art by Barbour Shop Creative Services
