Should comics on the web move more?
I have no clue!
But I felt like trying to see how it would look and feel so here we go:

This stuff could kinda turn into a gimmick, a lot of animated rain, water and other things that are do-able in two drawings.. but I think it does add a bit of visual interest..and does not take anything away from the joke.
More experimenting needs to be done!

OTHER THAN THAT:
Here are two drawings from the panel-graveyard-of-comics-that-are-dead-for-now:

AND:

Thanks to TIFF, people in Toronto are currently able to watch pretty much every Ghibli movie in the theater.
My nerd-missionary instincts told me to educate my wife on those films and so we went and watched some!
In particular “My Neighbors the Yamadas” looked really great on the big screen. The watercolor textures were rich and it’s overall a great example that animated movies can be very abstract while being compelling if the characters are strong and believable (human).
Hooray GHIBLI.
As somewhat of a contrast

“THE SWEATBOX” has re-appeared on the internet. Interesting stuff about the in-house workings of Disney and how Sting tours around the world with a I-just-bit-into-a-lemon face.

Time to save the galaxy again!

And in my quest of reading stuff colleagues bring to my table, I read this book last week:

Look at that cover!
What is the purple batman-fly doing with his hand?
What is going on?
I felt like a true dork reading that thing in the subway.

Hello Internet!
Being done with a chapter of my comic left me with a weird empty gap.
I’m not yet ready to continue and jump into the next one but it’s also strange to have this empty space.

Other things linger around, screaming for attention but nothing is REALLY in that phase where you sit down and work it out.
Ideas and sketches are still just getting thrown into the pot, simmering below the lid.

It’s a phase to watch movies, read books and GEAR up with fresh stuff I think.

With things the this for example:

A Walk in the Woods by Bill Bryson.
I picked it up because I was looking for books about forests and all kinds of tree things and I’m glad I did!

It’s a fun read and I understand now why every bookstore on earth has 2982 books of Bryson on the wall.
His humor is surprisingly mean and dark and the books is full of facts about bear horror stories, the Appalachian Trail and why it’s unwise to eat Snickers in the wilderness.

THE GUARD
I had this film on my desk for a while, not really ready to watch it until last weekend.

And I get the good reviews now.
It’s fun, moves fast and Brendan Gleeson plays a character that is so much fun to watch that he could easily carry his own TV show, t-shirts or at least one more movie.

Hello Internet,

I had some bright moments last week, here is one:

Another one was POWERING through BATMAN “Arkham City” and getting the biggest headache ever from it.
Screw Detective vision!
And Batman is kind of a dick in it by the way.

I also doodled this:

Videogames, videogames..
LETS TALK ABOUT MOVIES!
Who loves “Raiders of the lost ark”?
If the answer is “me!” then take a look at this gem:

Raiding The Lost Ark: A Filmumentary By Jamie Benning from jambe davdar on Vimeo.

It`s everything you ever wanted to know about this movie and more.
It has interviews, behind-the-scenes videos and even storyboard sequences that never made the final movie.
Some fun stuff that I got out of it:

- Indiana Jones was first called Indiana SMITH
- This documentary contains test footage of Tom Selleck and Sean Young rehearsing the “bar scene” where Indy meets Marion for the first time
- The famous fight scene in the market (where Indiana Jones pulls the Gun like a bad ass) was so quick because of Harrison Fords diarrhea!
Who would have thought!

Woha, another week is gone.

Here is a doodle I just did for a SKYRIM TUMBLR

Hagravens, the cool witch hippies of Skyrim land!

And here is a sneak peak to something I just worked on but I`m not clear if I can show it yet:

Adventure Time, the show with characters that look like they are having FUN!
