I can’t figure out how to get Photoshop Elements 8 to scan in directly from my Epson V33 scanner. Weird! Manga Studio will scan in from it but this version of photoshop won’t. Technology advances but it often leaves simple functions behind. Weird… An idea for a story I noodled on earlier this year — a quick concept sketch I scanned in and started playing … Continue reading Accelerated
I read Spacetrawler by Christopher Baldwin religiously for a year or so but it was another one I lost track of. It’s a great webcomic but one that might ultimately work better in longer bits. Baldwin delivers a great bite of the comic in each update but he’s also so good at working over the longer arc of his story that the deeper layers are … Continue reading Archive Crawl: Spacetrawler by Christopher Baldwin
Strip Search sends its fourth contestant home after episode 13, but not in the way you’d expect.
Spoilers galore after the jump so don’t click read more until you’ve watched the episode. Continue reading “Strip Search Recap: Episode 13 (aka Day 4)”
I have never LARP’d but it seems, in theory, like it might be possibly fun. Depending on the scenario and the people and how much coffee I’d had. If I could bend the rules like Francis in today’s PvP though, that might seal the deal for me: This made me think of a great couple of Angst Technology comics from Barry Smith about dressing up … Continue reading LARP it up Fuzzball
Dang, I didn’t see this until today — Carmine Infantino passed away on Thursday. Infantino designed the Silver Age Flash’s now-iconic red and yellow costume. He drew “Flash of Two Worlds,” a landmark story published in The Flash #123 that introduced Earth-Two to DC Comics. He also helped coordinate the cross-publisher comic “Superman vs. the Amazing Spider-Man.” Continue reading RIP Carmine Infantino
I just saw that Goodreads has been bought by Amazon. I don’t know what to think about that, I haven’t been super-active on the site recently but if it’s all now going to be fodder for Amazon’s store, I suppose I will think about it in a different light. But I digress from the zombies. I just finished watching the Season 3 finale of The … Continue reading Bookmark: The Walking Dead
Roger Ebert passed away this week. Cancer sucks. No one growing up now will get how I and others looked forward to seeing Siskel & Ebert’s show. They argued about movies, they showed clips — it was the only thing of its kind at the time. I thought Ebert had better taste and the better of most of their arguments on the show but when … Continue reading RIP Roger Ebert
Comics Alliance reports that Dark Horse will publish later this year a hardcover collection of Cameron Stewart’s self-published webcomic Sin Titulo. I previously blogged about Sin Titulo here and here. Continue reading Dead Trees: Sin Titulo
Great episode and probably the most intense “draw-off” competition yet. I did not agree with the judges decision this time but I kind of get why they went the way they did. Interestingly enough it looks like the average for the Strip Show episodes right now is somewhere just south of 50,000 views (I’m assuming each one is posted once to YouTube) although the first … Continue reading Strip Search #10: Opposite World
What Birds Know is a creepy, coming-of-age webcomic that’s updated for something like 7 years or so now. I reviewed it enthusiastically for ComixTalk many years ago and just started catching back up on it on Comic Rocket. Starting over, I remember why I liked it, it starts off in a fantasy, medieval village where three young friends have been assigned a field trip to … Continue reading Exactly What Is It That Birds Know?
