First off a general apology for not really keeping up with reviews or mentions of books sent to me in the last half of 2012. Life is busy and comics had to give more than a little this year. Reviewing stuff was the easiest to let go of, at least for awhile. I got a review copy in November of an anthology put together by … Continue reading A Review of Digestate: A Food & Eating Themed Anthology.
Below is a rough version of the first page of a short webcomic I wrote this month and am starting to draw and put together. I’m planning on posting it here next year (hopefully in January). Not a masterpiece but I liked the idea for the story and it felt like it was time to start making webcomics again. Continue reading Webcomic In Progress
It’s from August but I just listened to a lengthy interview with Kazu Kibushi by Jason Brubecker on the Making Comics podcast. Kazu’s artistic partner on the Amulet books – Jason Caffoe is also part of the interview. Very interesting stuff — click here for part one and part two. Continue reading Interview with Kazu Kibushi
I’m giving up Comixpedia/media/talk Dot Nets and Dot Orgs if anyone is interested. Don’t know why anyone would be, but if you are feel free to contact me. (I already gave Comixpedia.org to the webcomics wiki several years ago) But I’m still hanging on to the Dot Coms though — I haven’t decided yet on the future, if any, for those sites. Continue reading Letting Some Domain Names Go
Marc Maron interviewed J Mascis of Dinosaur Jr. (1) A great interview; and (2) reminded me to go listen to some Dinosaur Jr. which I haven’t in too long. Continue reading J Mascis of Dinosaur Jr
The very first website I had was on Geocities. The next thing I did was grab the tannline.com domain which became a hub for me, family and friends to use. One of the things I started there was the “Linkopedia of Comics” which for me is a precursor to starting Comixpedia in 2003. In early 2000, I looked up in the Wayback Machine the “hall … Continue reading My favorite comics of early 2000
Happy Holidays to everyone. Merry Christmas, Happy Hanukkah! Falalala Festivus! Is Darren Bleuel still celebrating Agnostica? Apparently so — Happy Agnostica! Good cheer to all Jedi and Pastafarians too. Really, best wishes to everyone trying to make the world a little better. We had a nice time at the X compound today. Parents, Parents-in-Law and extended Family-in-Law have all gathered at various times from the weekend … Continue reading Running of the Gifts: 2012
Picking ten favorite movies of the nineties is kind of a ridiculous challenge now that I’ve plowed through every year. I have a list of a hundred favorites compiled from the decade — all of which certainly are movies I love. Now that I’ve started this project, I honestly wonder how critics compile their best of lists — I suppose they are more beholden to … Continue reading My Favorite: Movies: Nineties
Wow I’m excited! It’s not often I set a goal and actually meet it, but here we are at the end of the Nineties with ten posts, one for each year, listing my favorites. Next step is to try and come up with a top ten list for the entire decade. Before that I sure would love to hear some comments, arguments, etc on why … Continue reading My Favorite: Movies: 1999
I might have to take a break from this exercise, I don’t want it to devolve to far into compulsively toting up lists of not seen, top ten and other movies I’ve seen. Oh wait, that’s pretty much what these posts have been this week. The most interesting things about looking back on a year’s worth of movies are remembering which ones you’ve definitely seen … Continue reading My Favorite: Movies: 1998
