Finished another page section. It’s getting detail-y-er. It is almost impossible to describe how difficult it is to sit down and draw these daily, but I’m doing my best. A actor/writer friend suggested Steven Pressfield‘s book, The War of Art (which I cannot suggest enough for everyone), and it describes and names the process of [...]

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

Here‘s the second section of Page 7; I just looked at the dates (I sign each panel as I finish ‘em) and realized I haven’t done one in almost 10 days. I’m on it.

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 [...]

New Kenwoode Panels!
Posted in Art, Comics, kenwoode, Writing, tagged bastardized American Cockney rhyming slang, Cerebus, Dave Sim, kenwoode, new panels on October 14, 2009 | 1 Comment »
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 [...]
Kenwoode Update: First day of Fall
Posted in blog, kenwoode, Writing, tagged Dreamworks, Kenwoode News, Kung Fu Panda on September 22, 2009 | Leave a Comment »
Just a quick note on progress: I’m about 5 pages from finishing the first draft of the Kenwoode II screenplay. Got some illustrating done this weekend, and I’ll have a few panels to post this week. Just saw Kung Fu Panda. The opening dream sequence with the cut-out paper style is staggering. Dreamworks really stepped [...]
I Don’t Want to Change the World, I’m Not Looking For a New England

I love this song. Made better by the drunken German sing-along, and the key-change Kirsty MacColl final lyric: Here’s a nice little concert mash-up with Kate Nash: And here’s Billy on the Henry Rollins Show, singing Waiting for the Great Leap Forward (with the great spot-on observation about Mtv’s absolute irrelevance): I’ll go into Levi [...]
What’s Unfilmable?
Posted in Art, Books, Comics, Film, kenwoode, Writing, tagged Death, Neil Gaiman, Unfilmable, Watchmen, Wired on July 21, 2009 | 1 Comment »
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 [...]
Ewan McGregor is a Baddass.

Here’s a clip from Ewan McGregor and Charlie Boorman’s great tv series, Long Way Down. They rode from SCOTLAND TO THE TIP OF SOUTH AFRICA in 2007. Yes. You heard me. Tre’ baddass, and highly recommended, if you like travel, motorcycles, or both. Some people want to be rich. Some want to frolic with supermodels. [...]
Kiva.Org- Loans That Change Lives
Posted in blog, kenwoode, tagged Carl is selfish, charity, Detroit, Katrina, Kiva.org, microfinance, Mohammed Unis on April 8, 2009 | Leave a Comment »
While doing some research on Mohammed Unis and microfinance (meaning, I took two seconds and did a Google search- I love how “research” has become “bare-minimum investigation”), I stumbled across Kiva.Org: Kiva’s mission is to connect people through lending for the sake of alleviating poverty. Kiva is the world’s first person-to-person micro-lending website, empowering individuals [...]
Sending Carl New Panels Tonight

The dogs howl, but the caravan rolls on. Carl just called from NE to taunt me for not having any panels to ink. Never poke the bear, Carl. The coming artistic onslaught will melt your brain. Listening to a new Bob Mould song on The Current online (you can find it on iTunes radio Alternative [...]
Praise the Lord and Pass the Ammunition

Carl sent me page 2 of inked panels today. Ball’s back in my court. I’m planning on knocking out three pages of pencils this weekend. The point is this: Carl has artistically slapped me in the face, challenging me to an duel. I have a vicious terrapin ready to amphibiously destroy his underachieving reptilian tortoise. [...]
Moving is the WORST

Just had to move. Closer to the ocean. Like Bodhi from Point Break. JUST LIKE Bodhi from Point Break. “If you want the ultimate, you’ve got to be willing to pay the ultimate price.” We know, Bodhi, we know. Point being, we’ll have some more panels up this week. I’m still exited to be working [...]

No, I’m just kidding. But I did talk to him last night to let him know that I’ll be posting the pencils to Kenwoode as I finish them. And, true to my word, “Page 2″ is revealed today; you can access it through the “Pages” menu to the right. Yes, I draw this project on [...]
