As promised, here's part two of our very first two part episode, featuring identical twins Guy and Ian Dorian! Yes, you heard that right, my guests are INDENTICAL TWINS. In this part Ian goes over his journey breaking into comics and Guy shares a story of what has to be one of the most INCREDIBLE days ANY comic fan has ever experienced involving the names Kirby, Ditko, and much, much more!
Guy and Ian Dorian are incredibly interesting, completely different in many ways, yet stunningly similar in others. They truly are two of the most interesting and multitalented individuals in the field of comics, and in my opinion HIGHLY underrated.

This is a Nerdy Mewzings Podcast FIRST on multiple levels! It's our longest episode at nearly two hours, which in turns means it's our first two-parter. As if that wasn't cool enough, my guests are INDENTICAL TWINS, and this is the first time they've been together on the same podcast at the same time! Speaking of the guests, Guy and Ian Dorian are incredibly interesting, completely different in many ways, yet stunningly similar in others. They truly are two of the most interesting individuals in the field of comics, and in my opinion HIGHLY underrated, however their talents don't stop there. In the episode I let Guy and Ian have the floor, telling their unique stories of working in comics, their background in and love of martial arts, toys, concept art, film, etc. We also tackled the topic of ADHD and how many perceived disabilities can be channeled as a personal super power. As mentioned earlier, this is part one of a two part episode, so make sure to stay tuned as the second part will drop a few days after this one!

In this episode I had the pleasure of talking to rising superstar artist/writer Joshua Derstine! It was apparent very early in our conversation that Josh is wise beyond his years (he's only 19), and we had deep conversations about creativity, the struggles of an upcoming artist, his creator owned project Amarok, artistic process, mentorship, Star Wars, principles of martial arts and their application in art, along with a plethora of other topics. It was truly a pleasure and I look forward to chatting with Josh again in the near future!
