COMIC FURY!!

Comicfury.com is a kick ass site that allows you to get your own Web COmic site! not just a regular website, but one specifically designed to cater to web comic people. :) Thats how I made the BAB site, and my only complaint is that the pre-made templetes weren't the most awesome, but they get the job done, and if you know HTML then you don't even need to worry about it. lucky you.

thats my plug.

Page analysis

I've chosen a page from the Graphic Novel Arkham Asylum, Ilustrated by Dave McKean, who I did a post on earlier. I really enjoy the way his panels are all different sizes, yet they compliment each other, and the un evenness leaves room in the gutters for you to see the images in the backround. All his images are very symobloic and you can feel young Amadeus' nervousness as he enter's his mother's room and slowly realizes what she' s been feasting on.

Steadman!!

I love Ralph Steadman! This British cartoonist and caricaturist is most well known for his art associated with the brilliant Gonzo Journalist, Dr. Hunter S. Thompson. He has also Illustrated copies of Alice in Wonderland, Treasure Island, Animal Farm, and Fahrenheit 451. His work is erratic and maniacal, and very good at capturing the intense lifestyle of the Doc.

On a Side note, he also designed the label for Flying Dog Brewing company (Hunter's brewing company) and they happen to make my favorite beer, Old Scratch Amber. Yum!

Li Wei

These incredible photos ARE NOT digitally manipulated. Rather, they are the work of performance artist Li Wei. Wei uses a combination of mirror, metal wires, scaffolding and acrobatics to accomplish these amazing feats. I stumbled upon this artist (literally, stumbleupon.com)

Joker

Just for fun...

The Adventures of Squid Hat, Volume I

Just A mini comic I made for the hell of it... :) To be continued...

John Heartfield

John Heartfield was an artist I had only heard of in passing. I always tried to make a mental note to myself to look him up, and today I've finally done it! Hurray! I love this guy's work. Heartfield was a very strong criticizer of the Nazi regiment and expressed his views through artistic collage. Above is Self Portrait with Police Commisioner. He was so strongly against the state of things in germany he even westernized his name, he was born Helmut Herzfeld. I was drawn to this artist because we both have a strong hate for the nazis. But as for his views, I feel the art speaks for itself. Left is Don't Worry, He's A Vegitarian, and to the right Hurray, the butter is all gone!

Dave McKean

Dave Mckean is an artist who provides me with so much inspiration. I was first introduced to him by reading Arkham Asylum, a batman graphic novel. He's also illustrated many other works in this industry such as the one I read on tuesday call Mr.Punch. But over time I've come to appreciate not just his work as a graphic novel artist, but also as a director. His directorial masterpiece, Mirror Mask, quickly jumped to the top of my favorite films when I saw it this summer. I have never been dissapointed by his works.

A new adventure...

Last night, I went under a bridge I had never been to before. T was with me and we walked through the rain to get to it. Once underneath, the air smelled like fresh rain and wet dog. Water around me and rushing past my feet. The walls were covered in graffitii of both the creative and vulgar sort. The Bridge was dark, cold, but protective. As the rain bucketed outside, we sat in silence for half an hour.
