If you’ve listened to the show recently, then you already know we had a blast hanging out, meeting people, chatting with local artists and some of our favorite celebrities from tv and film.
Whether it was Martin Kove and Billy William Zabka from The Karate Kid or some great local artists like Kelly O’Hara from BeBop Art or even the cool folks at TechShop Detroit that we for some reason didn’t even know existed but definitely plan to get to know better…just a really cool series of chats.
You can check out some photos and hear our chats with people…
Photos are down below. You can listen to each chat individually, or you can catch the entire chain of conversations as one file clocking in at just over an hour down below.
We had the opportunity to sit down with Daniel Phillips, makeup artist and special effects creator with credits including The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey. The Hobbit: There and Back Again, Oz The Great and Powerful, Real Steel, and even Low Winter Sun.
Great guy who does some outstanding work. Nice conversation with him, and if you’re interested in getting into the makeup or special effects business, his studio in St Clair Shores can be found at www.dpmakeupstudio.net/, and they’ll have classes starting soon.

This is where we started going a bit fanboy-ish.
So, you know Martin Kove and William Zabka from The Karate Kid and other shows / movies throughout time…and we got a chance to chat with them for a few at Motor City Comic Con.
Good times.

As per usual, we wander…something catches our eye…we have to go chat with the person behind it.
Enter Kelly O’Hara of Bebop Art, who did a piece we almost virtually guarantee you’ve seen, as well as a lot of other great stuff.

So…we saw someone walk by in a TMNT costume made entirely out of balloons…and so you know we had to track the person behind that down and have a chat.

We came for sound drops…and we found memes you can hold in your hands and put on your fridge or on your wall.
So, again, naturally we had to stop and chat with the person behind this way cool stuff.
