Out Of Step Roll to the Samba

Ugh 3 posts this week in queue.  I am falling behind in July.  I blame the economy.

I am presently enamored with Out of Step Arts, on the fence about sitting down to watch the Wilco documentary, becoming frustrated at my lazy attempt to recall a rock song I heard in 2001(?) with quasi-racist, orientalist lyrics, and needing to finish two Hellboy GN's before they are due this afternoon.

This week the tragedy at Aurora, CO marred the box office debut of Christopher Nolan's The Dark Knight Rises.  I'd like to go see it, but I'm pretty budget poor.  One day my budget will be unlimited and I will pay for other people to go see movies.  I will be a very nice rich dude with lots of love to give.  I will probably help put up orphanages and build hospitals and other important infrastructure things to benefit underdeveloped communities.  Basically being rich will help me be a good person and finally be of use to society.

Early this week I had scanner problems, which haven't really been solved.  I just found a workaround.  I haven't really been drawing that much really.  I've doodled a few things at work, a few things at home.  My sketchbooks are really lonely, and I don't have any of my projects in current development.  I just keep getting more ideas of things I want to do, but I'm having trouble staying psyched about them.

Marian Churchland is a bad mama jamma.  So is James Stokoe.  Artem Krepkij caught a bit of attention this past week for this elegant body of work.  I just found out about the Total Recall remake.  I hope it doesn't turn into a forgettable experience.  Check this out Rrrrrroll!  Bryan O' Malley brought up The Tribe while talking about Envy Adams' hair.  So now, of course, I have to add The Tribe to an overwhelming cue of things I must see before I leave this mortal plane.

 Here is a Tom Strong fan art. Here is also a character I created called Turbo Ninja. He is a nemesis for Dr. McNinja.

Its easy to become enamored with Becky Cloonan. She is the dreamiest: Myspace, Twitter, Blogger, Deviantart.

On a whim I started reading Tin Tin: The Seven Crystal Balls. It is easily inspiring in its fluidity, attention to detail, and masterful use of gesture. Hergé is the man.

Well, then, the other night as I was reading through the list of Eisner winners I stumbled upon Cameron Stewart's Sin Título, which I had put off reading for some time. It turns out it's very suspenseful, full of detail, and graceful gesture. And then I got to this page and the comment about the Inca piqued my interest. I google Inca from the Seven crystal balls, half expecting something about some lame Indiana Jones movie when: oh crap! That is spooky!

While we're still near the topic of the Eisner awards I delightfully encountered the work of Marian Churchland who seems poised to take over the comic scene. Well done Marian, I am overjoyed to become acquainted with your work.

Despite missing Comic-Con for another year in the last 3 years straight I've had a very comicky weekend. I read Paul Pope's 100% in one sitting. It is one of the best, most fluid and interesting things I have read. His notes at the end are very enlightening about comics as an idiom. You should pick it up.

I picked that up along with Katsuhiro Otomo's Memories this weekend at the library. Do you use your library much? You should. Stop wasting your money and support free information. Also get yerself some book smarts to go with your street smarts and cyber smarts. It's good to have 'em y'know.
