Creative Strategy: Big Heads - Jack Teagle and Donya Todd

It's always weird when you meet your heroes. Since beginning this course Jack Teagle has been a great source of encouragement for me during my moments of "I don't have what it takes". Thats why I was so excited by today.

Big Heads was interesting for several reasons; firstly, we got to discuss Jack's process for making his own action figures which was really cool! This is something I'd like to do when I have self-made characters in the future! His process involves clay and ovens etc, but I feel there is a better process out there, but costing would be an issue.

Secondly, it was interesting to listen to Jack, his negative viewpoint on things that comes across sometimes on Twitter also showed itself slightly here too. I suffer from this problem myself, I let negativity overwhelm me sometimes but its something I'm working hard to change.

Finally, it was great to hear from Donya Todd how women are becoming more prevalent in comics, and how she has positioned herself as someone actively looking to change that. I wish there were more women involved with this industry and its great to see people encouraging women to join up!

Here are some examples of both Jack and Donya's work:
