The Drunken Odyssey Podcast Interview with Book Designer Chip Kidd, Episode #345

Chip Kidd is Interviewed in Episode 345 of The Drunken Odyssey!

The Drunken Odyssey with John King was begun as a forum to discuss all aspects of the writing process, in a variety of genres, in order to foster a greater sense of community among writers.

In this week’s episode, John shares a conversation he had with author, editor, comic book fan, and book designer Chip Kidd, from about 40 feet away from Biscayne Bay. They spoke about the DC/Marvel divide, the sublime art of Alex Ross, how art springs from our need to see the work we want to enjoy the most, and how so many areas of the book business intersect, if you are paying attention.

So here it is, please enjoy & share ;)
