Episode 163 – The Travis Hanson Part 2 Interview

Wed, 17 Apr 2013 07:00:33 -0600

On this episode of Comics Coast To Coast we talk to Travis Hanson about The Bean and follow up to Trav’s latest Kickstarter project: Adventures For A Lazy Afternoon.

The Bean by Travis Hanson
http://www.beanleafpress.com/

About Travis:
http://www.beanleafpress.com/?page_id=2
“I am an artist and storyteller. I have been illustrating professionally for about 15 years now. I am also a father of 5 incredible kids, and husband of a beautiful enduring wife.

“the Bean” is my story. Published both as a webcomic and as printed graphic novels. In 2011 Bean was nominated for an Eisner in the “Best Digital”. That was a huge motivation to keep the story going.

I am lover of fantasy art and epic story telling. I am also a believer that “If you truly want something bad enough, you will find a way to make it happen.”. I also believe that it is our responsibility to teach others how to achieve their dreams as well. Yet, in the end it really comes down to how bad do you want to see your own dream happen. I won’t give it to you.

It has been a long hard road so far, but so worth it. I love creating stories and I love sharing them.

My influences over the years and in no order are James Owen, J.S.Lewis, Daniel Davis, Jason Brubaker, Spike, William Stout, Charles Vess, Stan Sakai, Jeff Smith, Wendy and Richard Pini, and so many more. They have each given me a little inspiration, some sound advice and incredible work ethic to follow.

So keep creating and enjoy the ride.”

Show Notes:

Congrats on Adventures for a Lazy Afternoon. Still a few days left and you are already at 300% of set goal. Pleased? Did you celebrate the day you funded? What did you do? When does the real work begin? Brian

How is your new year’s goal of 20 pages a month going for book 4? Brian

Inking on Velum was the topic of a recent YouTube video you posted. What are the risks vs reward in this process? Brian
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Sn-G52vz5Ws
What size? Joel

With three books available now, have you made any move towards giving readers the option of a digital version? Joel

Do I detect a fellow Elfquest fan? Matt

Your story has a leisurely pace to it that I love, but I know it’s not everyone’s cup of tea. Have you had any complaints? Matt

I get the impression that, unlike a lot of artists I know, you really love doing backgrounds. Am I wrong? Matt
http://www.williamstout.com/

You give some good advice about backgrounds when you posted this comic. What was on your mind? What spurred that thought during the comic? Brian
http://www.beanleafpress.com/?p=4355

You have a character who speaks all in ryhme. Were you kicking yourself for that decision after a while? Matt

Follow the guys on Twitter: Brian, Joel, Matt and Denver

Show Notes:

TECH QUESTIONS:

Are you all digital or do you brainstorm/sketch in the really real world? Brian

Are you still using Photoshop CS4? Tried Manga Studio 5? Everybodies doing it. C’mon. Just a quick hit. Brian

What kind of hardware? Wacom? Intuous? Cintiq? Nintendo Zapper? Brian

Have you been creating the comic with an eye toward a print version? Matt

http://www.devilsdue.net/plume/

I read through the archives on my iPad. It felt like there was a lot of white space on the site. Why not make you art bigger? It deserves it! Joel

How big are your originals/digital templates? Joel

ARTISTIC VISION QUESTIONS:

You use halftone patterns in your comic. Is this an homage to old school comic shading? How do you do them? C’mon. Out with it. We won’t use it…we promise. Brian

You have a very rich but muted color palette. Is this an ever evolving pallete like my spelling of pallette or did you pretty much have a theme in mind from the offset? Brian

What influenced you to do a old west themed comic? Was it so you could draw horses walking away? Or something more sincere like “my dad and I used to watch….” Please let it be something sappy!! Brian

You have had other artists such as Nei Ruffino, Joel Humberto Herrera and Elizabeth Torque create alternative covers for issues of the comic book versions of Plume. How do you feel with your characters in the hands of other artists? Was this a personal experience or something setup by your publisher? Brian

Your drawing style seems heavily influenced by animation, specifically disney and anime. Do you have some favorite films? Matt

I noticed your characters tend to have a white outline around them, how did that come about? Matt

Vesper’s hair is black with no detail beyond the silhouette. Corrick is the same but white. How did you reach that aesthetic? Is there a reason you can share for the juxtaposition? Joel

WRITING STYLE QUESTIONS:

Your dialogue is sparse but punchy. Lots of energy. Do you write in this way naturally or do you labor over each word, beating the dialogue into some ruggedly handsome well spoken cowboy from the turn of the century. Brian

Do you often find yourself in the grocery store staring at the grapes trying to remember what you needed? Also, it isn’t grapes. No wait. That was me. Brian

Wait…now I remember. Do you write all the stories on your own? During my cyberstalking of the comic I saw a post where a friend was helping you write dialogue. Was that for humor effect or a little peak behind the curtain at the enormous head that is the Wizard? Brian

Is the whole story already written out or are you working from some kind of outline? Matt

How long do you anticipate the final story to be, or is it meant to be ongoing? Matt

Vesper and Corrick. Interesting names! How did you come up with them? How do you approach names in general? Joel

You do a great job of not beating the reader over the head with important details. IE: Amulet. Golden gun. Intentional technique or happy accident of your storytelling style? Joel

Personal Appearances and Shit:
