05/22/13 Yuri’s Powers

I had lunch with my drawing group on Monday, wishing one of our crew good journeys to Wales. That was fun. Tuesday I did a videocall guest lecture about creating comics for a school in Montague, MA to 5th graders. I enjoyed it, and I was told that they did too. Discussed with Dan the motivation to create art, always enjoyable to ponder. Other than that, I’ve just been drawing. Reading some poetry.

I heard they’re finally making a movie of “Ender’s Game” and so I re-listened to the audiobook. I have some a few issues with the book, but it’s still amazing (even if the author is unfortunately so extremely outspokenly anti-gay). Then I listened to “Silent To The Bone” a young adult book by Konigsworth, which was entertaining but I’m not sure holds up well under intense scrutiny. Next, “Pillars of the Earth” and “Mistress of the Art of Death.” Wheee!

I drew a fill-in strip for the brilliantly disturbingly funny Alan Ryan of “Faraday the Blob.” You can read my fill-in here (before going on to trawl the archives).

You may remember Alan’s work from when HE filled in for ME back in mid 2011 with his Spacetrawler strip Planet Wrlrlrl. Great stuff.

Regarding last week: sorry for my moaning and groaning last week. I’m feeling much better.

On a curiosity note: some of you were suggesting ways to get my brain going to come up with ideas for my next project, but the problem is not the lack of ideas, I have several. The problem is figuring out which one is going to be the best one and which direction to develop it in. Which is fun, but sometimes frustrating due to lack of time to spend on it.

04/03/13 Martina’s Greeting

I have not been in a huge bloggy mood lately. Not sure why.

I guess I’m really overworked and a lot is in transition. Tucson was a bust (though a fun one), Minneapolis was Cancelled, Portland fell through. Been awaiting a possible contract that’s been under discussion since last June for a certain project, am gnashing my teeth to finish up edits to my novel to get it to my agent, and still am not sure what I’m going to replace Spacetrawler with when it ends probably early summer. Took a walk today, only to be cut short by the wind and cold and snow. Went to what I thought was a drawing class/group tonight, but nobody was there.

I’m in decent spirits, it’s not that. I guess I’m scattered. The only time I feel clarity is when actually writing/creating.

Maybe I will go make cookies. THAT is an AWESOME idea.

Strips are now priced at $80 (plus $6 s&h)

The majority of you (from my poll) said that the price of $120 was fair, but some asked for a lower price, and many said that in the current economy that they couldn’t afford $120. For that reason, and after much deliberation, FOR NOW, they are being sold at $80.

So, go. Peruse. Purchase. Follow the big blue square. There is also links to the original artwork so that you can see what you’re purchasing.

If not, I highly recommend donating, or linking to me from your favorite site.

Regarding today’s strip, if you feel at all lost, THIS LINK will bring you the the strip where Dimitri goes to Gahhrt’s bakery (and then meets her daughter), and immediately after Gahhrt’s bakery is the strip where Pierrot sees the Furryite Sandwich Shop. Or you can click on the Dimitri or Pierrot tags below.

This weekend I’m afraid i didn’t see the Karate Kid or Toy Story 3. Instead I saw Micmacs (trailer here), by one of my favorite director Jean-Pierre Jeunet also known for his films Amelie, City of the Lost Children, Delicatessen, Alien Resurection, and A Very long Engagement.

All of his films have a lovely childlike clockwork art feel to them, which has never stopped delighting me. This one has a strong anti-weapon-manufacturer theme, a rise-in-the-gutter-rather-than-historical steampunk sensibility, and is one of my favorite con movies since Redford/Newman in The Sting.

But there is little more to say. Just see it. if you don’t want to risk the $10 theater price tag and don’t know his work, rent and watch any of the others. They will equally delight.

The drawing up top is of Dany Boon, who played the lead character “Bazil,” and below is a drawing of Julie Ferrier, who played the part of La Môme Caoutchouc.

The re-design is coming along, as you may notice. The rest of what i intend to do is mostly cosmetic, so if you have any further suggestions, let me know.

And now that i have you all disturbed by the last strip, we move along with a fresh gait.
The news today for me is that I am re-running two of my previous strips I’ve done. Bruno ran daily from 1996-2004 and Little Dee ran from 2003 til 2010. The archives still remain online Bruno & Little Dee, but people have requested the daily dose format, and so I’m re-running them.
I’m especially excited about Bruno, which has literally hundreds of characters. With WordPress tags, it will make following specific characters very easy.

And now that i have you all disturbed by the last strip, we move along with a fresh gait. Trot trot trot.

I must say, as a cartoonist, there is little in the world as pleasurable as a a face made utterly of purple-grey silly-putty.
