Mark Bode

In this episode I get to sit down and interview Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles Artist Mark Bode.  Mark is the same artist that I got my tattoo from, and earlier this season we showed him painting in New York City.  Mark has worked on the Mirage and Archie Comic books for Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles.

Welcome to episode 18 of Cowabunga Corner Season 5.  In this episode I talk about the Michaelangelo tattoo that I got back in November 2002 by a good friend and wonderful artist, Mark Bode.  I first met Mark at Turtle con in 1992, though really got to know him after I became friends with his wife, Molly.

In this episode Tokka, Miki, Fugitoid and I are in New York City with TMNT Artist Mark Bode.  Mark has worked on the original Mirage Comics and the Archie Comics.  He’s a wonderful artist with a lot more credits under his name and his skill is just amazing.  Here he is painting in the Bronx along with a bunch of other artist who were brought in to each design a section of this large wall.

When we did Turtle Con 2000, the original plan was to make money to keep doing the booth each year.  Though we did not make money.  In 2001 we held the booth again, but less people came and it still cost as much to hold.  So in 2002 we skipped out on doing a booth at the convention.  When 2003 rolled around we discussed the idea of doing a convention booth for the return of Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles.  So we pulled the money together and did a weekend of friends that took a lot of work and was a lot of fun.
