Currents


This above piece, by Suzuran which can be seen in it’s full size over on Comics Alliance has me loving the 8-bit interpretation of Marvels vast array of heroes. Something about little Hulk is too cute.

The American production of Torchwood Season 4 features some fine writers, Doctor Who News

Universal Monsters join the Minimate line this fall, Art Asylum Blog

Less than a week left to buy my Panda Star clothing here

And College Football is in the air, full tv schedule with midwest times(east coasters just go forward an hour) here

Currents is my occasional collection of links that interest me.

Spider Soldier


Now Available at my Etsy Shop. Spider Soldier Creature. He’s got six eyes! I got to admit the video game Shadow Complex inspired this some, even though there are no spiders they wear a lot of masks in that game with no visible sight lines. ETSY

Peanuts.


Here’s my take on the Peanuts, Lucy, Linus, Snoopy, and little Woodstock, done on request for my friend Katie. I’m sure Charles Shulz is yelling obscenities at me from above right now.

On Comics…

Before this flurry of comic writing activity of mine that you’ve heard about but haven’t seen yet from me I wrote many a comic. They were mostly crap. Indeed even Summer Nights while still valid, is nowhere near as good as my recent scripts simply because I’ve learned more about storytelling in the medium than I knew when I wrote that series for Jessica over a year ago. I feel, honestly that each script I’m writing is better, and will read better. I’m hoping youll see the progression once the artists are done. And yet after watching this video by David Smart on Alan Moore and Jason Burrows Neonomicon, I’m reminded that this medium is still trying to figure itself out, and that really, if you can get the reader to the point where they understand the rules of your comic universe, then you really can explore all kinds of worlds. Alan Moore, while not always enjoyable to read, definetly understands this, and this video really just blows my mind, because it takes the simple art of storytelling, and breaks down the layers, that as comic readers, we probably take for granted.
