    Horror Movies by The Bollock Brothers
    Sep 24 2024
    Welcome to the Cheap Chills podcast, where artists can talk, mostly about monsters.
    This week, Ben breaks down one major bit of inspiration from his past: The Bollock Brothers song, Horror Movies.
    How many of the movies mentioned in this song have we seen?
    Then, in a very special “Let’s Check in with Ben” Ben talks about stress and burnout in what amounts to an explanation for why this podcast is going bi-weekly.
    The episode wraps up with a segment about Ben’s process for illustration work and how he’s using it to make artwork for #MonsterFunkMonday. Yeah, we’re making monsters and posting them on Instagram, Mondays.
    This is episode is brought to you by the Cheap Chills shop on Etsy. Ben’s designed a bunch of T-shirts and prints for people who love spooky weird stuff. There’s new stickers and prints coming and even some of the vintage toys and clothes for you to check out.

  • What We’ve Learned from Ed Wood and Large Marge, with David DeGrand

    What We’ve Learned from Ed Wood and Large Marge, with David DeGrand
    Sep 10 2024
    I think you’re really like this episode. I Got to chat with cartoonist, David DeGrand. His art is mixes elements of silly, cute and gross in a way that really gets me excited to draw.
    We also came in with an agenda; to talk about our shared all-time favorite movies, Pee Wee's Big Adventure and Ed Wood.
    But we also get into David’s background and influences and his wildly cool list of clients. Mad Magazine, comic book treatments of SpongeBob, The Simpsons, Garfield, Adventure Time, Uncle Grandpa, and his work appears in the newest video for Weird Al Yankovic!

    Oh and we warm up by talking about our experiences with folks who are worried about things like vaccines magnetizing them and the coming apocalypse.

  • Black Metal / Black Toner with Dr. Wolfenbergen

    Black Metal / Black Toner with Dr. Wolfenbergen
    Sep 3 2024
    This week I’m joined by Art Director, Justin Moll, who is known as Dr. Wolfenbergen by night (and likely weekends). His personal art (and upcoming zine) is stripped down, simple yet gritty...and kinda dark. So I love it. We talk about the hot rod scene, making zines, the lost art of making band flyers at the 24 hour photocopy shop and then we really get into the nitty, grits of making low-fi digital art and the power of squinting.
    We also get into comparing notes on musical inspiration (Mortician or Skinny Puppy? Is Iron Maiden relaxing?) and tell about the times we were kinda scared to buy an album but totally did.
    In a very special “Let’s Check in with Ben” I talk about the new drawing club I’m starting on Instagram and reflect on the rebooted podcast.
