Onstand interview on Drawn.ca
« on: December 22, 2008, 03:55:02 pm »
It looks like this was conducted in early November but just posted on Saturday.

Warning: it's 37 minutes long.

He's a nervous chap. 

The format of the interview and the amateur nature of the interviewer no doubt contributed to his nervousness.

The Dark hoss comics release he talked about in May sounds great, though.

I got through about ten minutes of this before I got bored. It is all the same questions and answers that are in all the print interviews and I can't just skim ahead like I could if it were not a stupid video. Does it get any different from all the old interviews later?

The most interesting part is that Darkhoss is apparently putting out more Achewood books, starting at strip 1 and including the alt-text. He said he originally envisioned it as like a bonus for reading online, but now realizes some strips just aren't complete without it.

Oh, and when he talked about the skateboards being a big headache. I don't even remember him selling skateboards.

I think they had the Achewater logo on them. Just the decks, not completes as I recall.

While I love the GOF book, I do miss the alt-text when reading it. I'll certainly be picking up those publications.

Having not met Onstad in person, it was interesting to see his mannerisms and so forth.

Was that supposed to be professionally done in any way shape or form?  Because the only thing more laughably amateurish than the interviewer was the...uh...guy...uh...who...er...um...i ntro...uh...duced...em...him.

I was reminded of this.

I had to copy and paste it into my address bar.

Of course the first thing he mentions about having a web comic is being able to post whenever he wants, and in fact, that this is one reason why the internet is a superior medium to newspaper.

If I were in that audience, I would have walked up and smacked that interveiwer's man-tits with a ladle.

Onstad really dropped the ball.  Instead of the little nerd-jabs, he should have just stood up and been like, "you know what youre a bitch and i dont do interviews with bitches unless i knock them out," and just stabbed the guy about a hundred times.  Or at least something like that, that video would have a million hits by the morning.

The guy who does Little Dee goes in the opposite extreme. Today he posted sketches he uploaded from his cell phone just so he wouldn't miss a day.

The irony is that guy works for google, which except for maybe the astronaut program is the most discriminating employer around.

Well, sure, but probably he wasn't hired for his interview skills but something else entirely.

The best part of the interview was right at the very end where they talk about Keith Moon's head.  Onstad talks about seeing this clip on youtube and how insane Moon's drumming is.  I have that concert on disc so I've listened to it dozens of times, but have never seen it.  It's pretty kick ass.

But yeah, that interview was totally amateurish.  I was thinking this couldn't possibly be associated with google in any way

man, I need to practice the drums all day every day until I can play them extremely well.

Also, maybe I would get kicked out of my apartment due to too much rocking.
