Bits of Inspirational goodness

Thursday, May 3rd, 2007

Very tired but going strong. So thought I’d post a few tidbits that help give me a kick in the rears that gets my mind flowing again.

First one is Yaxin the Faun again. Seriously, can’t stare at these drawings and drool enough:

YAXIN the FAUN: The Faun Moleskine VI

And another bit is from one of my constant inspirations, Neil Gaiman. His post today is quite happily related to the strip (remember Ginger the lost dog?). The links below so you can check out his new furry friend, and again if you haven’t read any of his work please do so immediately. You won’t be sorry - I’m reading “Coraline” for the third time. Never gets old.

Here’s the link, off you go:

Fabulous New Comic

Friday, May 4th, 2007

It’s coming. I’ve been waiting for this strip to start and I’m lucky enough to have a sneak peek. You can also check out the site for some behind the scenes stuff:

The Boids

Here’s a quick blurb about the strip from its creators, Steve Campbell and Larry Merrill:

The Boids is the story of Flock Unit 2A-6, known to his pals as “Boid.”
Boid is a member of a flock of experimental robot birds that were
built at
a local university to study the way birds coordinate their flight
patterns
in large flocks. Boid becomes separated from his robot flock during a
storm and decides to seek out a new flock among real birds in the park.
Boid is equipped with many interesting gadgets and capabilities and he
learns to use them in defense of his new family. Of course, there is more
to Boid than meets the eye which leads to hilarious consequences for the
birds, as well as the animals and people around them.

And (drum roll please) here’s the preview (click on the thumbnail for the full size image):
