Panels & Pizza Episode 9 – Matt Smith

Come with me north on the Red Line as we journey to Mike’s Food & Spirits on Davis Square in beautiful Somerville, MA.

Braving my interview skills this week is Matt “No, not that one” Smith, creator of the graphic novel Barbarian Lord. Matt discusses jumping into the deep end of creating a graphic novel full of swords and sorcery (and sonic sheep) after freelancing as a children’s illustrator, pulling influences from the obvious to the really obvious, and engages in a little theatrical radio theatre.

Big things are in store for the kid who grew up wanting to create Metal album covers for Iron Maiden but was just as excited to provide his skills for The Minibosses.
