The Most Fun Podcast

Kayla has a undeniably unique creative voice. Her colorful illustrations of oddball characters are unsettling and delightful in equal measures. These characters come to life in her animated shorts, including 2024's "Hell" a story about an existential crisis in a bowl of alphabet soup. She is currently on a working holiday in Cork, Ireland, but we had a chance to catch up with Kayla while she was in town for the holidays! In our conversation, Kayla told us about how she's connected with a local artistic community in Cork, in pursuit of new experiences and artistic collaborators, as she continues to broaden her horizons and refine her singular off-kilter style.

Dennis is a man of many talents and many interests. An accomplished animation FX artist, he is currently working on the highly FX-driven series X-Men '98. He is also a prolific doodler, and his keenly observed location sketches leap from the page with bold, decisive pen lines. With his comic series, The Skyward Isles, Dennis brings together his many talents and passions to create worlds and characters that burst with color and personality. For Dennis, color and personality are intrinsically linked. In this episode, he shares how his artistic approach is deeply connected to his synesthesia, giving him a unique perception of sensory phenomena that shapes his expressive signature style.
