For the latest Scots Whay Hae! podcast Ali spoke to comic book artist and writer Emily Brooks Millar to hear all about her new illustrated book Birddad. which is being funded through a Kickstarter campaign.
Only the second comic book artist to appear on the SWH! podcast (despite what Ali says at the start of the chat - apologies to Etienne Kubwabo for the oversight), Emily talks about how she came to work in the medium, the importance of the support and encouragement from those around her, the challenges faced, and her experiences in the genre.
The two also discuss comics and graphic novels, and art more widely, getting published, influences, inspirations, collaborations, and much more.
Also a fantastic painter (you can find examples of Emily's work on her website) this is a fascinating and far-reaching conversation about an area of the arts we have overlooked in the past, and as a result we believe it will be of interest to all.
