Episode 103: Eraklis Petmezas

André finds a comic creator with a unique talent to go along with his unique name (at least for North America)

Eraklis Petmezas, a Savannah College of Art & Design graduate with a BFA in Illustration, has created art for numerous musical acts, editorial illustrations, and window displays for Borders Books and Music. He has worked on storyboards for Rich Barrett Designs, illustrated "The Tell-Tale Heart" for Adam Smith Academy, and has been published by Image Comics, Arcana, and Asylum Press. A storyteller at heart, he is currently working on new comics. In 2006, he joined 803 Studios and founded SketchCharlotte, a growing community of local artists. He also conducts a Comics Camp for the Charlotte Library.

André and Eraklis discuss people trying to anglicize his name, having a historic lineage in Greek history and how a need for a Jewish centered Halloween story resulted in his book Rabbi Werewolf!
