123. Gene Ha, Eisner award winner, on comics, art and geeking out

Gene Ha is a NY Times bestselling comic book artist and Eisner Award winner, which is the highest award in American comics. Today I speak with Gene about his journey as an artist, and also about his newest creation, Mae. I enjoyed reading about the world he creates in this sci-fi action-adventure story! It has girl power, epic battles, and even monsters. Some of Gene’s art includes work in the DC and Marvel Universe, Fables, and Alan Moore’s Top 10. I enjoyed my conversation with Gene today, especially after meeting him at San Diego Comic-Con!

72. Lana Bui on movie trailer soundtracks

Lana Bui is the Associate Music Supervisor at Aspect, a trailer house in Los Angeles. She started as a composer’s assistant working on television advertising campaigns for brands such as Nike, Samsung, General Mills, and Honda. Now, as associate music supervisor, Lana has placed music for major campaigns such as Suicide Squad, How to Train Your Dragon 3, Call of Duty: WW2, and Thor: Ragnarok. Lana is a friend of mine that I’ve knowns since she was 12, and I was thrilled to chat with her about this fun aspect of movie trailer soundtracks.
