Sequential Artists’ Pub

Sunday, June 1st, 2008

Virtual pub that is. Although an actual pub for sequential artists would be lovely.

This will be an ongoing podcast. A roundtable format with some serious talent. Had to remind myself to say stuff as I was a bit caught up in listening to the other artists.

Check out this episode and if you can, listen in on the next one. If you listen live, you can chat along. That’s a pretty cool feature for a podcast:

Graphic Novels Galore

Friday, June 6th, 2008

Don’t get me wrong, I’m thrilled comics are getting recognition these days. But, having been one of the rookies trying to bust into the business during the 90′s comics crash, anytime the market rockets towards the moon I tend to get a touch of the jitters.

But the 90′s crash was mostly due to piling junk on top of junk simply because it was selling. Then readers collectively decided to cut the sequential fat from their diets.

What I’m hoping is that enough coal turns into diamonds to keep the market strong after the dust blows away.

So for now, I don’t mind coughing up a little coal dust, so long as I trip over a few sparkling rocks. And I hope that Holy Black’s foray into comics proves to be a bit of bling:

Wanted to share this bit of news here. Even if you read SF online, you must get it in print. I love having my favorite strips in book format.

Are you a notebook junkie?

Thursday, June 19th, 2008

I’m am very guilty of that moniker. Try to hide it, but just found another site to feed my addiction. Via notebookism.com, discovered a great blog that deals strictly with alternatives to Moleskines. Moleskines happen to be my drug of choice, but I’m always on the lookout for other brands that also meet my requirements.

And as a topper, they’re having a little contest too:

Berke Breathed Interview

Monday, June 23rd, 2008

opusinterview.gifThe Berke Breathed interview is now up at TTF! Still in that thick dream haze of “did we actually get to interview Berke Breathed?”. Well it’s real, true, and now live.

And also, you must check out the illustration by Lucas Turnbloom of “Imagine This“. Just plain wow!
