Cow Jumping [Episode #259]

Manitoulin Fact, Fiction or Folklore? Episode #259 of Jack and Dylon's Daily Video Podcast delves into the myth behind “Cow Jumping” and one of the Island's unique urban legends which may have gone on to spur the Dairy Farmers of Ontario marketing department to create a bizarrely original youth oriented advertising campaign.

The Making Of [Episode #256]

Production notes for The Making of Episode #256 of Jack and Dylon's Daily Video Podcast. Listening to Crimson King - In the court of King Crimson on beat-up noise-cancelling headphones while preparing today's content and pondering the adventures of other mad professors such as Dr. Rusty Venture. Editing went smoother than expected especially compared to the all-day build required for this past Sunday’s Episode #253. Encountering an audio glitch, which is definitely not syncing as smoothly as what’s being presented during editing. Going to try audio splitting and re-rendering before uploading and getting on with day digitally illustrating the final two pages of our Manitoulin Colouring Book. Then it's uploading and social media broadcasting this evening!

Timbering and Rock Picking [Episode #242]

Bright, cool morning. Sue and Ashley enjoyed lunch together yesterday as Sue’s new Fuji finally arrived! Finished tough timbering and rock picking page for Manitoulin colouring book yesterday as well. Then edited down first day of work on page into today’s episode #242 of Jack and Dylon's Daily Video Podcast. Plus! Watch closely for rare footage of an actual artist in the wild. Apparently Jack Whyte has been working on a new self-portrait in the form of an assemblage collage and can’t find certain items that we photographed for his auto-biographical Scrapbook: a story of art including a shoe horn, slide rule and miniature wooden bowling pins.

The Crunch Week One [Episode #225]

We’re coming down to the wire with pre-production for our 2017 Manitoulin Colouring Book. In order to have a print sample ready for test printing during the first week of April, I need to complete a page just about every day for the month of March. Remember, this is the first time I’ve ever done anything like this. Learning to draw from scratch (pun intended) has been an arduous, yet highly rewarding process. In this episode you can already you can hear me speculating about future colouring publications. I like this starting selection because it really contains a contrast in the progress between the first and last pages I illustrated.
