Shenanigans & Tomfoolery

DISCLAIMER: It’s very possible that, as Wednesday Comics settles in my head, the order in which I’ve placed all of these strips may shift around. They already have, as a matter of fact, been moved back and forth every so often during the process of this writing. I will say that, at the very least, [...]

I did it. After years of refusing to even acknowledge social networking websites, I succumbed and joined the “online sensation” last night. To be honest, I did it mostly to create traffic to this little website of mine. I don’t know how active I’ll be on it though. I might get bored of it very [...]

Wednesday Comics, brainchild of Mark Chiarello, is a weekly collection of 15 strips starring various DC characters presented in 20” x 14” newsprint pages and it has finally reached its conclusion after its intended three months in publication. I hesitate to call it a comics “experiment” because, as many have pointed out, the project draws [...]

This is a color test I did in Photoshop of page 1 from the comic pitch I’m working on, the same page I posted in black and white a while back. I wanted to take a shot at coloring this even if I, assuming this thing pans out, would never be able to realistically pencil, [...]

I don’t think I drew anything last week. As a matter of fact, I don’t think I’ve done anything in the last couple days other than being lazy and playing Arkham Asylum (hence the lack of posts). It’s been a while since I spent a couple of days doing nothing but I think I’ve had [...]

“9″ was probably, along with Pixar’s “Up,” my most anticipated movie this year. Its trailer came out of nowhere and, bad music choices in it aside, I simply loved it. It was clear in its setting and design sensibilities that it wasn’t your average animated movie and that it was striving to be something different. [...]

I played through the demo of Batman: Arkham Asylum a couple weeks ago and was thoroughly impressed by it. The atmosphere was right, the stealth was fun, the comic book stuff was spot on and having Kevin Conroy and Mark Hamill as Batman and the Joker respectively felt like coming home. I liked it so [...]

The following video is of a song from Megadeth’s new album “Engdame” titled “This Day We Fight!” In the words of Dave Mustaine, the song was inspired by “… an impassioned plea from Aragorn to his loyal fighters in the ‘Lord of the Rings’ trilogy.” It is also quite awesome. Granted, he’s not the first [...]

I’m not as big a fan of Quentin Tarantino as most people are. I enjoy his movies but I find that Tarantino as a writer is often more successful than Tarantino as a director. I think Pulp Fiction, his most widely praised film, suffers from not having a real plot, being perhaps too character driven [...]

This is the first thing I worked on after finishing my work on the pitch. I hadn’t colored anything in a while and about a week ago, this picture of a drunk Pikachu popped into my head for God knows what reason. I don’t know why I get such a kick out of seeing inherently [...]
