Old heroes and new favorites

A long established comic god of mine is Jack "THE KING" Kirby. It's certainly unfortunate I didn't get into Kirby in my formative nerd years, but Kirby is from the old school (shit! could say invented "the school") and it was all a bit wild for kid Ian. Kirby is unbridled cosmic level imagination on page, from his design and character creation to his story elements and scripting nobody did it like him. He's the classic case of being the man behind the curtain that was creating all the fantastic mythology for marvel and dc, but of course was given none of the real profit or ownership. But all the fans know the incredible scope of what the king is responsible for and the big two have also come a long ways in giving credit to the man on a lot of his trademark characters and ideas. Here's a couple tastes of Kirby acid to drop

New Place

I did the curious George this week and went to ACE hardware to pick up my art supplies for this year. It was very surprising to know that ACE even carried 2b charcoal pencils or art gum erasers, I assumed the store was always just for paint, man tools, and where old men go to talk about building sheds and such all day. They do not give student discounts to needy sou art geeks though, so farts to ACE.

New school year, same old hat.....

So this is to kick off my blogging for the Fall '09 comic book course.

Miles wanted some words on here about places we've never been AND another about artistic heroes and new favorites. So here we go....

Beard Extravaganza!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Did some break down pages today, pretty awesome. Not too much to report except that I did get some peer review on my work. I shopped it around to a couple people I knew to get responses and was pleased as punch with the results. Im planning on bringing in some pages to show off tomorrow so hopefully y'all get to see m' stuff. Toodle-pip!

under....the....weather

been sick the last couple days, kind of peaked yesterday so not a lot of work got done but I'm feeling better today so we should see a return of the crazy chachere creative train............tomorrow

new EXCITING stuff!!!!!!!!

eh...the title is kind of a lie, nothing new really happening tonight besides work. I have decided to upgrade my paper though. I just don't feel I have the right size to work with, I always feel this need for more room whether it be an action page or dialogue. Besides my paper claustrophobia the comic is still good and I hope to have more done tomorrow.

Feel bad...

Im been working the past two days using my Inada method but I finally realized tonight that I havent been blogging at all. I just need to get in the habit of putting something down here every time I start work for the day. I also thought that it would be a good idea to scan in some work (obvious I know) so thats on the calender for this weekend to put up some samples of stuff Ive got in the oven (or in the fryer or whatever)
