One of my favorite people in the comics business returns to the show today, Ryan Claytor. Ryan is a professor who teaches comics studio courses at Michigan State University and he's on a book tour promoting his 260 page hardcover retrospective on 20 years as an illustrator/cartoonist/tinkerer, One Bite At A Time. There's no other way to encapsulate all the varied mediums Ryan has played in over the years, and this recently crowdfunded project is guide book for the mysterious workings of the creative muse. We get to chat about his recent role as a judge of the prestigious Eisner Awards, share a few anecdotes about fatherhood, mentorship, and the weird synchronicity that ties all these mediums together. I was a backer from the jump on this project and can assure you it's worth every penny. If you are interested in picking it up, please visit onebiteatatimebook.com.
