Steve Rude, the artist behind the comic book Nexus and the Moth, has posted some videos of his painting demos where he does his great Superhero watercolor paintings. The audio is not very good, but it should be fun for us artist and fans of artist folks.
Steve also does some amazing comic book work, featuring artwork reminiscent of Alex Toth. Check out his new publishing company, Rude Dude Productions.

The Conversations on (studio) Ghibli blog has video clips of Miyazaki working on concepts for his next film Ponyo on a Cliff (Gake no Ue no Ponyo). Hayao Miyazaki is of course the amazing director of films like Laputa, Howl’s Moving Castle, Sprited Away, Valley of the Wind and many more.
Blogger Daniel Thomas explains:
Just recently, Japanese network NHK aired a special episode of its series, “Professional.” For three months last summer, a director and camera followed Hayao Miyazaki around the Ghibli studio as he was beginning the production of the next movie. This footage marked the official debut of Ponyo on a Cliff (Gake no Ue no Ponyo) to the Japanese public.
You have to see this excellent footage of Miyazaki drawing and painting. Wow! NOTE: There are many more clips at the above link.

Ever have a childhood memory of something you saw on TV, but could find no evidence of it anywhere… even on the web? As a kid I remember a commerical for a live Bugs Bunny stage show that featured DC superhero charcters. Sometimes when I wanted to play detective I tried to google for it, but I found nothing…till today.
Quite by accident I found a video clip while looking at some old toy commericals on YouTube.com. There was a preview image with what looked like the mascot versions of Bugs and Marvin the Martian. So I watched the clip and found that low and behold there was a brief moment of Wonder Women, Batman and Robin as part of Bugs Bunny in Space. Mystery solved! You can watch the clip HERE, it’s in the center of the movie.
BTW The clip is from 1980.

superman-comics.com has posted a new section, the multi-media annex that includes sound and video files that feature the man of steel: Superman. They have most of the Max Fleischer Superman cartoons from the 1930′s. A special holiday treat.

Here are some screen grabs of the Marvel SuperHeroes ad for the Visa card. Possibly trying to copy the success of the Jerry Scienfeld/Superman ad from last year.
Images are missing…sorry. (9-22-07
