Sunday thoughts - 10-12-08
- Tomorrow is the Hayward Super Con. I will stop by to see my cousin who is selling some of his comic collection.
- I am home from the CAM fundraiser at PIXAR and it was a fantastic evening. So much creative in one place.
- Earlier this week the Cartoonist Conspiracy’s Comic Jam was one a great one with some real great drawings and paintings. Well have some comic online in the next few weeks I hope.
- Last weekend I was at Silicon which was a lot of fun. I was on a couple of panels and met some nice folks.
- Neil Gaiman reads his book The Graveyard Book by way of video. Looks like the whole book is there and Mr. Gaiman really reads his books well. A fun story about a graveyard of ghost who raise a orphaned baby.
- My friend Joe Borelli has a new blog to review Horror movies. Joe is one heck of a writer and is really passionate about the spooky stuff.
- Again with the Comics blog has posted CC Beck’s (creator of Captain Marvel) Fat Man. A charming and cleaver comic that was a failure, but it is hear to read on-line. He makes the hefty hero charming, heroic and fun. The big bone heroes are usually are used as comic relief, but I like Fat Man a lot.
- Alex Schumacher has some good tips for Cartoonist.
- Comic Book covers from Indonesia: Komik Indonesia.
- Swedish illustrator Mattias Adolfsson paints flying buildings. Fantastic work…check them out.
- the art of comic artist Alec Severin. His classic style drawings of horses are so full of life and his heroic art is both fantasy and reality.
-in NY an exhibit of Italian Masters of Comic Art. Cool paintings and drawings.
