Okay one more from MC Frontalot - You Are Likely To Be Eaten By A Grue - the nostalgia theme song to anyone who played an Infocom game on their Apple II.  Zork!

Using Drupal to publish webcomics, part 1

January 11, 2009 by xerexes

Drupal really missed the boat in not more actively supporting webcomics a few years ago and now Wordpress with the help of the very effective Comicpress theme has taken a huge chunk of that market share.  If you're starting from scratch Wordpress + Comicpress is a great way to get going.

Cause I Repeatedly Act Like A Badass In Your Visual Space

January 5, 2009 by xerexes

Wow - lots of awesome MC Frontalot news (links lifted from FLEEN.com) including this Matt Boyd conducted interview with the MC himself.  But the main deal being winners of the video contest Frontalot ran for his new song Wallflowers (which is a heck of a catchy song).  Amongst the fan-submitted videos the winner was a stop-motion one which looks like it took a lot of work and really how much can you complain about toys dancing on top of a Merlin-game style floor.  But as far as concepts go I loved the one from fuzzy gerdes that took last runner-up.  I kind of think you could do a lot more visual funny with it then these guys did but I loved the low key style.  Quoting the MC himself, "Honorable Mention goes to: fuzzy gerdes who took the central idea of the song and did not let go of it."

Making Comics With Comicbrush

October 1, 2008 by xerexes

Probably a post better for ComixTalk (and there are posts on this over there) but it certainly is relevant to this site too.  I've been playing with Comicbrush today (I tried it out a little earlier while it was in beta) - a site that let's you create comics from pre-packaged art packs and things you upload.  There's a community gallery to show off your work and you can export it by email or facebook.

Unfortunately you can't link to the image on the Comicbrush site but you can see it by clicking here.
