We talk with the co-creators of the new illustrated children's book, "Archibald's Next Big Thing" - including co-writer Tony Hale (Emmy-Award winning actor for his role on HBO's "Veep", and Buster Bluth from cult-hit "Arrested Development"), co-writer Tony Biaggne, and artist Victor Huckabee. This funny and delightful conversation covers the creative collaborative process by a group of poeple (including artist Misty Manley) working together from around the country whilst juggling day jobs and other commitments. We talk about the real commitment required to take an idea to fruition, and the joy of seeing all that work fully realized and in print. |

Espionage creates make-up, nail wraps and more products aimed at the underserved female nerd market. Based in Tacoma, WA, Jaimie stepped aside from her award-winning professional career in makeup for film, TV, and web to start a business around her interests, quickly recruiting an intensely passionate, hard-working team to make awesome niche makeup accessories. A year ago, they crowdfunded a new line of products via an immensely successful Kickstarter campaign. Now they look to do it again with an ambitious new campaign, new product licenses, new innovations and a growing staff devoted to making awesome makeup for awesome fans. |
