Listen "Brainbeast Unleashed - this is Shaun Sunday"
Episode Synopsis
In this episode, Tabitha Rickard sits down with comic book creator and game designer Shaun Sunday — also known as Brainbeast_studios. From Saturday morning cartoons to his very first 12-page comic, Shaun’s journey has been fueled by passion and imagination. Drawn by its heritage, landscape, and creative opportunities, Shaun recently made the move to Ballarat from sunny (and hot!) Queensland. Now a proud Ballarat local, Shaun shares how discovering the Ballarat Arts Foundation helped turn his childhood dream into reality — including publishing his first flip book thanks to a Creative Inspirations grant he received through BAF. We’ll dive into his work in tabletop game design, his efforts to support indie creators through platforms he's established like the Australia and Aotearoa Comics Creators group, and the challenges of staying healthy and financially afloat as an artist. Follow Shaun on Instagram @Brainbeast_studios and check out his podcast @nocapesshow for more creative insights. Let’s get into it!
