Episode 411:

Greg Shaffer visits the 9th Story.

Aside from doing funny impersonations and annoying Al on The Caveman Mafia Podcast, Greg (aka Zoltaire) is a graphic designer, artist and one time painter of painted over murals of the band Enigma and trees. He joins Jeanette and Dan to offer a unique perspective on Art, Branding, and Design – all powerful forms of storytelling.

Indie Creatives often say they want to learn how to use consistent branding to ensure their work reaches a wider audience, so the discussion focuses on this topic. We also discuss the pain of having your work set aside or destroyed. At the end of the show, we do silly voices, read a Paula Dean recipe for crab balls, and remember Morgan Freeman was Easy Reader on the Electric Company.

Greg designed the logos for 9th Story Studios, and our podcast Listen.

Jeanette is an artist, first and foremost. While she expresses herself through many different mediums, at the core she is obsessed with a good story which made her a perfect choice to co-host Season 4 of the 9th Story Podcast.

Jeanette is constantly celebrating all forms of story-telling, and exploring new ways to share new tales. Along with her partner she runs the YouTube Channel “Haunting TV“, where they explore all things horror. They post videos of their own creation as well as let’s plays, and reviews for films, books, and comics.

When she’s not on camera for their channel or podcasting, she’s blogging. Jeanette writes on HorrorMade.com about horror and on jeanette-art.blogspot.com about her adventures in the world of art and design.
