‘Howl’s’ Paper Model

(from Nausicaa.net) A paper model of ‘Howls Moving Castle’, based on the new film by acclaimed film maker/animation director Hayao Miyazaki. Since the site is in Japanese: the first section has a complete PDF for the whole model, and an instruction sheet. The second section has the same project in sections for modem users.

Billy West interview on/in "the Onion"

The Onion, the best on-line source of fake news, has a very candid, real inteview with Billy West (the voice of Fry on Futurerama and Stimpy on Ren and Stimpy to name a few)

Billy West in the interview, regarding using celebertys in animated feature films:

…..The minute they mention a CGI film, they’re already looking to see what Renée Zellweger is doing. They’re already looking to see what Billy Crystal is doing. This doesn’t make sense, to do what they do—spend zillions on visuals, and then have this totally fucking flat-lining voice track. You know, “Hey, I’m Will Smith, I’m a clam! I’m Will Smith, I’m a kangaroo!” All you bring to the performance is your own ego. They’re just being themselves. Let’s put it this way: Cameron Diaz is the highest paid voice actress in history: $20 million for Shrek. Why? Because she has a 9-foot mouth? That works somewhere else, but not on tape! [Laughs.] It’s like what the hell is that all about?

BTGC updates: some place to call home

Just to keep you folks up-to-date on Beyond the Great Chimney #3.

I am working on the official map for the world in which Victor Grassrootâ„¢ comes from:

The map will give readers an idea of the layout of the land(s) where Victor, Sir Tugert, Ducelot, Agacon and Wendell all come from. I am planning to do a map that will show Kate’s world as well.

With any luck, I will have the artwork at Comic-Con in San Diego. More information coming to this blog soon.

Art Process Insight with Charles Vess

Follow along as fantasy artist Charles Vess works on one of his amazing paintings. LINK HERE

from his website, Green Man Press:

I thought that I would try to lift aside the curtain for you and reveal some of the mysteries of the thinking process that I make in producing a piece of art.

This, my first, full-fledged commission, “Companions to the Moon” began as an inquiry from an art buyer asking me if I would consider painting a piece like my iconic Stardust’ image for him. He had seen the painting at the previous San Diego Comic Con and had been disappointed when told that it wasn’t for sale. I love that particular painting, and knowing that I might be tempted to sell the piece at some point, I had given it to my wife as a gift and was just simply displaying it at my table.

Mr. Vess is known for his fantasy illustrations on Neil Gaiman’s Stardust, Jeff Smith’s Rose, and well as countless other projects.
