RSA Animate- Slavoj Zizek on “Soft Apocalyptic Vision”

I love these. Philosopher Slavoj Zizek argues against the ethics of charitable giving, which I don’t fully agree with, but the method of communication of these videos is fantastic. If all dry economic philosophy talks were this fun, we’d be much more savvy. I can’t find the artist’s name anywhere (who, I think, is the [...]

League of Legends is What? Ok. Cool.

Here’s a fun little trailer for League of Legends Season One: I don’t play WoW. Apparently, this is a spin-off from it, and the Trailer is marketing for the game. Which is cool. If one peruses the LoL website, you can check out the multiple characters, and it’s pretty staggering: artistically, it’s like you took [...]

Chris Ware is a Badass Artist and Truthteller

Check this out: Chris Ware was commissioned to do a cover for Fortune. Can you believe they rejected this? Everyone knows Chris is an artist of some intensity, which for the most part has been directed toward meticulous cartoon dissection of childhood trauma. Maybe they thought – based on the scenes of Jimmy’s Grandpa – [...]

Neil Gaiman and Charles Vess- Instructions Book Trailer

Here’s a great little trailer for Neil Gaiman and Charles Vess’s new book, Instructions, made all the better by Neil’s voice over. I’m re-reading The Sandman Companion by Hy Bender, which, for me, now ranks up there in my ‘invaluable insight into creator’s minds” library as The Onion’s Tenacity of the Cockroach, Stephen King’s On [...]

Alan Moore on Celebrity Culture/Post-Civilization/DIY in Wired

Scott Thill did a nice interview with Alan Moore over at Wired, in which he discusses a number of things, primarily his Zine, Dodgem Logic. Mr. Moore seems to be melding the “global/local” movement, into something he calls lobel- basically, producing his ‘zine, marketing it globally (via Mr. Moore’s already considerable fame and interest in [...]

Illustrator Spotlight: Daniel m. Davis & His “Monster Commute”

Stumbled upon this the other day, whilst hunting for reference photos. Daniel m. Davis’ really beautiful web comic, Monster Commute. The man’s work with illustrator is sublime and his color sense is impeccable. I’ve only gone through a number of panels, but each page is just a joy to behold. His work is just remarkable- [...]

New Kenwoode Pages: May Wonders Never Cease

Finally posted the latest couple of Kenwoode pages. You can check ‘em out here and here. “Finished, it’s finished, nearly finished, it must be nearly finished Grain upon grain, one by one, and one day, suddenly, there’s a heap, a little heap, the impossible heap.” – Samuel Beckett, Endgame

Mark Titus Is Awesome

I don’t follow college ball, mostly because I went to art school, and I don’t have an alma mater team, unless there’s a World Champion Thunderdome of Chiaroscuro or Font Kerning of which I am unaware, where you’re allowed to use a color wheel, linseed oil and a mace. (The Color-arnage!) I do, however, follow [...]

Kenwoode: 2nd Part of Page 7

In Defiance of Ink Spillage- New Pages: 6 & 7

Got some new panels and pages posted; I go back and forth on their quality, but the Dude abides. Plus, I had a huge India ink accident that I don’t want to talk about. Seriously. Dude. I don’t want to talk about it. Pages 6 and 7 here and here. Saw Men Who Stare at [...]

Dave Cooper’s Organic Penwork Destroyed by Hack

Here’s a small Dave Cooper study I did, from Suckle: The Status of Basil: Good Lord, my scanning sucks. Pen and ink on watercolor paper. Dave’s one of my favorite artists working. His paintings are jealousy-inducing. Check ‘em out on his site (some NSFW).

New Kenwoode Panels!

It’s just two, and, of course, I’m missing a page because I wasn’t sure if I liked the way I inked it, but two have been added against all odds, and they can be found here. It’s the little things, really. I’m going to commit to a panel a day (two down!), which is really [...]

Dan Clowes Interview on McSweeney’s

Excerpt from Mike Sack’s interview with Eightball and Ghost World creator Dan Clowes: Do you think that the generation who grew up with the Internet will find this connection in other, less creative methods? You mean, to write a banjo blog instead of actually learning how to play a banjo? You would think that there [...]

What’s Unfilmable?

Wired has a nice little article about what’s unfilmable in Hollywood- which books or comics cannot be done correctly? The Neil Gaiman quote slaps you right on the face: “It’s not film-shaped,” Gaiman said. “I went out to Hollywood with beautiful artwork and toys and did a presentation…. I got to the end, very proud [...]
