Seattle cartoonist and publisher, Tom Van Deusen joined me to talk about his new comic from Kilgore books, Scorched Earth. Tom has also been publishing work of his own and other folks under Poochie Press. One of his most important works under that header, was bringing back Dennis Eichhorn to release new Real Stuff work. Tom edited and published one collection, and then edited another for Last Gasp to publish. given the recent passing of Eichhorn, it’s important that we have this final work and not enough can be said for Tom’s hard work.

Tom’s own comics are an hilarious look at modern life through a disturbed lens. I really love his work and sense of humour. check it out.

This is our kickstarter to publish 4 new comic books we hope you’ll really love. New work from Emi Gennis, Tom Van Deusen, Simon Moreton and myself. I put a lot of thought into the new issue of Blammo and how every story will work together and I’m really proud of it. It’s 44 pages of new work. I’m excited because it’s the first new issue of Blammo I’ve done in 4 years (I’ve been busy, alright!). Support us/pre-order these comics if you can!

Studio Q+A: Tom Van Deusen

Linework NW is at its heart a gathering of remarkable creators, editors, illustrators, cartoonists, and publishers who represent some of the best work that is being produced in these mediums today.

Each day from now until the show we will be highlighting the amazing creators of Linework NW in a series of short interviews highlighting their process and studios. Today’s Q+A, conducted by Kinoko Evans, will be spotlighting artist Tom Van Deusen.

Where do you live? Seattle, WA. Where does the majority of your creative practice take place? Home? Studio? Café? Other? I work pretty much exclusively in my studio in my house. It’s a furnished basement. I have one window, but I can’t see anything out of it.

What are your favorite tools of the trade? I pencil with a pencil on paper, then use a lightbox to ink onto bristol board using Copic Multiliners and a Pentel Pocket Brush. I use Signo white gel pens for white out.

These inked drawings are then scanned in on a scanner, edited on a Macintosh computer, and sent to a printer. With these files the printer prints them as books, or as we like to call them, “comic books”. These books are then traded for money for people who want them. I assume they read them. Do you keep any posters, toys, artworks in your creative space for inspiration? Toys are for children. As you can see in the photo I provided, I drank a yellow Rockstar energy drink that day, a beverage intended for adults.

What are you working on for this year’s LineworkNW? I am going to have a new collection of strips I did for anthologies called “NOW: THAT’S WHAT I CALL COMICS VOLUME ONE”. I also wrote the first part of an epilogue for Scorched Earth in Intruder 19.
