EWF Roadshow Interviews - Gary Chaloner
Ahead of the EWF Hobart Roadshow, I spoke to Gary Chaloner, who talked about podcasting and the Tasmanian comic scene.
How did you become a comic artist?
I never really thought Iâd be anything else. I was doodling at a very young age. Cutting up Donald Duck comics and rearranging the panels to tell new stories. Later, my older brother brought superhero comics into the house. He had great taste in what to read, so I got turned on to some good stuff very early. Then there was no stopping me. I just started drawing and writing stories and forging ahead as a creator, not ever thinking that it was something I wasnât going to succeed at.
I started reading a wider range of comics and broadening my knowledge. Comics actually turned me on to book authors in a variety of fields like pulp adventure, crime, science fiction⌠all genres that seem to overlap with the comics medium. I eventually was old enough and confident enough to start drawing my own comics and eventually ended up publishing.
What skills should emerging comic artists try and develop?
The skill of handling rejection and criticism, plus the ability to willingly develop your own style. Donât be scared. As far as style goes, its great to learn from the masters and absorb what they can teach you, but no-one ever really got anywhere by ripping off someone elseâs style. So be brave and develop a unique voice. In doing that, youâll invariably have all kinds of people getting in your face. So develop a tough skin. Take the good advice, brush off the bad.
What music do you listen to when youâre working?
Depends on my mood, of course, but Springsteen is never bad to work to. My Morning Jacket, Ben Harper, Pearl Jam and when Im feeling really cool⌠some David Ruffin or Billy Thorpe. Iâve also been getting into a new band from Perth, Apache, my sonâs band.
Canât listen to music while Iâm writing though. Drawing? Yeah, pump it up.
Where was your favourite place growing up?
Old book exchanges and comic shops. Iâm from Sydney, so there were a few places that Iâd make the train trip in to the city for. Regular haunts that offered old comics, books, magazines about old horror movies and other secret treasures. Besides that, the beaches of Cronulla. In my teens, Iâd drive down with my best mate EVERY weekend, no matter what the weather.
Do you refresh your work by traveling or do you find staying in one place gives you more stability?
Iâm not a big traveller. I have been around, the States, Canada⌠but Iâm content to stay on the farm down here in Tassie and plug away at my various comics projects. Iâm too old for travel. My eight-legged walking frame creates havoc at the airports and my false teeth upset the kiddies when I inadvertently spit them out.
What is happening for Tasmanian comic artists at the moment?
Well, I just noticed Josh Santospiritoâs interview, and he covered it pretty well. So maybe we can just link to that and save my beleaguered, ossifying fingers.
Essentially, for me, Iâm co-hosting The Comic Spot podcast with John Retallick now. We chat about Australian comics and try to cover as much ground as we possibly can. The whole scene is growing so rapidly, and the various comics and graphic novels coming out are of such high quality, itâs getting harder and harder to keep up with it all. It really is a new Golden Age of Australian Comics.
On the actual production front, Iâm doing the art on the Gestalt Comics series Unmasked, by writer Christian Read. Iâm also chin deep in writing and drawing The Undertaker Morton Stone, which brings me toâŚ
What will you be getting up to at the EWF Hobart Roadshow?
Iâm participating in the Graphic Content event at MONA on the night of October 31. Iâll be reading and projecting the first issue of The Undertaker Morton Stone. The artwork for that issue is by two superstar artists Ben Templesmith and Ashley Wood⌠dark, moody stuff thatâs just right for Halloween. Iâm really looking forward to seeing what the other creators have lined up as well. Should be a great night.
Hereâs a poem I wrote about The UndertakerâŚ
The Man From Thunderhead
Each stormy night the wind does wail, The crow does scream, the heavens too rail In the moist, cold corridors of the dead, Dwells the Man from Thunderhead.
âMy name is Stone,â the skeleton said âLike my heart⌠cold and unforgiving. âI had a life, a lifetime ago, âFilled with loving warmth and feeling.â
But bliss suddenly turned to curse, When black Noddy came a-callinâ. Nip nippy he went, until child and wife were all spent, And to make matters worse, Sowâs ear from silk purse, Stone prefers now the dead to the breathinâ.
Now wife and daughter do rot in the old family plot The Undertakerâs pup as well is worth grievinâ All happiness has fled For they are all dead But Stoneâs eyes with a purpose are gleaninâ.
âIâll cruise in my hearse of deathâs jet black âDown the highway to Hell, past the Crossroads and back. âSwinging my stock in trade, the olâ shovel and spade⌠âUntil Noddy is found and bloody retribution is paid.â
âI wish I was dead.â âI wish I was dead.â whispered the Man from Thunderhead.
