Comic Book Blogs Work in Progress

HEY APATHY! COMIC BOOK BLOGS!

Hah, I just got back from a 2 o'clock Saturday night stroll down party lane ( College Street) to buy some chips, get some fresh air and a stretch. I saw people falling over, huddled in clouds of cigarette smoke, could determine which bars were serving vodka as opposed to the ones serving beer and every alley and empty storefront reaked of marijuana. The highlight of the staggering stinkfest had to be the idiot who dropped his pizza right in a pile of unidentifiable ooze, he picked it up and almost fell over but that didn't stop him from eating that slice. Now just to be fair I'll expose a little of my own filth. When I got back in my studio my desk looked like this ( above pictures). I found my mess a little comical so I took a couple pictures  

Comic Book Blogs! The Future of Reading Are Kindles Recyclable?

COMIC BOOK BLOGS "THE FUTURE OF READING!

Some press today about the Kindle ebook out selling paper editions. No big surprise the future is yesterday now and things like this are to be expected. Just a couple questions came to mind though, considering the ever growing pile of  computer landfills and the never ending life expectancy of plastics... are Kindle's recyclable? Well apparently if you don't throw them out and go through a number of tedious forms and services you can eventually send the ebook back to the company after you are done with it, but really what are the chances of anyone doing that. The steps involve filling out personal information, printing a UPS free-shipping sticker, packing it and mailing it to the Kindle recycling plant. Wow, maybe a couple of hard core hippies will do it but I doubt that you will. It's very encouraging though (that Orwell's 1984 won't be available  due to copyright laws until 2 years after the book predicts all  human  language will be completely reverted to newspeak lol!)  that numerous corporate blogs pomoting the ebook as Eco-Freindly and Green-whatever also have this on their sites ....

As if that's going to stop us from throwing them out...

More comic book drawings from the land of Neuroberg, I don't know maybe some day I'll actually go outside again and have something more interesting to draw than the details of my own personal mental decomposition...

HEY APATHY! COMIC BOOK DRAWINGS

A little surreal interpretation of life in the computer world, welcome to Neuroberg

This is the same image suped up for a little internet contest. Mr Warren Ellis uses fan made images for his web-cast station id and gives a little link traffic to the entries he likes. However, this is totally not the style he's looking forcompared to  the the previous winners and has no chance of being picked but it's fun to participate anyhow. 



Comic Book Drawings, Process Shots and Camera Troubles

this weeks commission progress shots finally retreived from the camera, sort of. 

Weird Tales and Online Comics

Weird Tales & Comics Online 

A monstrous plant, an elevated city, the amorphous glob macroverse all merely precursors to the penultimate alien invasion!!! Read the 13 Stories, Forbidden tales of the impending apocalypse! Or at least enjoy the illustrations. I still haven’t edited the stories yet and things are pretty messy over there. Nevertheless it was necessary, as part of my new years website clean-up, to make some adjustments and take the stories out of the NEW WORKS section and give them a page of there own. As if I didn’t already have enough on my plate as it is. Well you just go wherever the inspiration takes you and I really enjoyed re-presenting these weird tales online over the past few days, plus I’m not one to leave things unfinished. Feeling a little bit of computer-burn out after hours of posting put was really digging the new calligraphy and illuminated text so I figured I’d share it here too. New WebcomicsTomorrow

Newspaper Comics! Ideological Battlegrounds

"GREAT FNORD, WE'RE SURROUNDED!"

Alternative Newspaper Comics

Ideological warfare breaks loose on Election Day as suburban thought processes move in for the kill! I made this editorial newspaper comic a few months back following Toronto’s 2010 election but never gotten around to scanning it until yesterday. I spent my entire Monday (from noon- 6:30 am) working on the computer. My new works page, while one of the most trafficked, was a real mess.  I took the time to update the page, which, although entitled NEW WORKS, had not actually been worked on in over 6 months. Well the efforts yesterday proved fruitful and I managed to rebuild and redesign the entire presentation.  The best part is the new format is a little more blog-like allowing for easy organization and frequent updates. I am particularly pleased with the direction the new ink drawings have taken. Oddly enough the online presentation of these drawings has actually inspired and enhanced the conceptual conversation I am trying to initiate. Anyways back to work, I’ve a commission to wrap up today and then I’d like to get back on the website for a little fine tuning. HEY APATHY

HEY APATHY! Alternative Comic Book Drawings

Damn Toronto was cod today, but the sun stayed on strong enabling me to enjoy my morning coffee sitting on the bench outside.  My fingers barely even froze. Otherwise I spent the entire day (and possibly a few more hours still) slouched over the computer doing menial design tasks I neither enjoy nor am suited to or trained for in order to update my NEW WORKS page on the website. It has been almost six months since I’ve added anything other than the weekly webcomic and things go stale online really quick. So I’ve been scanning, resizing and adding titles to my 2011 output and should have the thing up and running within the next couple of days. The image posted above is of a Neuroborg, a telepathic avatar projection of the human psyche as it exists in our current technological age. The term “Neuroberg” is the name of the place where these strange electric astral citizens currently reside. It is going to be a part of the new new works page. More Comics

It’s been a ridiculously quick three or four days since my last post. I spent the weekend working on the webcomic and animations while watching a bunch of old movies. Yesterday I was all over the place, the bank, the camera shop, the art store, and so on and didn’t have much time for any extensive work. On days like that I like to work on rapid studies which require little thought or energy. The images in the photo above are of my new “Face: drawings. This series is an attempt to compare the human psyche to the human body, taking in to account all the wonderful vices & variables available as part of life in the modern metropolis. Brain doesn’t work today. Can’t get the new camera to work properly either (note the terrible discoloration in the above documentation). Busy week ahead, a large commission, a small commission and a pile of dreadfully blank pieces of paper. more Art here
