Noodles Over Meat

It's Halloween season again, and Emily Carrol's got another terrifying tale to tell.

I like JP Coovert's comics. Also Puppy Teeth looks interesting. I'm mostly interest in the work of Kevin Czapiewski and his brother Matt who does Eat That Toast. I also discovered Stuff No One Told Me.

Remember this sketch from last week? I decided in keeping with my New Year's Resolution, and having read an awesome google + thread begun by Dustin Harbin relating to publishing, perseverance, and self consciousness, to push myself through in completing this sketch. The first pic is a feeble attempt at inking digitally in GIMP. The second one is a scanned and cleaned up version of a pen & pocket brush ink.




Can you tell which one I felt more inspired by? If you guessed the second picture, you get to see this preview. While I was inking I began to think about what these characters appearances could say about their personalities and histories. I've been reading a lot of Dresden Codak's tumblr, including this latest Speculative DC Reboot on villians. The female character on the left really came to life for me. She's definitely a very masculine character who is unsure of how to act feminine, but outside of her duty, wants to experience courtship and romance. I'm a little wary of pandering to LGBT readers, but I think her character is truly compelling for me. The other two, are pretty prototypical master/student, stoic/goofball archtypes. I'm certain these characters should be on a quest of some kind, and I'm heavily leaning towards a tongue-in-cheek, possibly self-referential slant.

This weekend I watched Contagion, a bunch of The Wire, NCIS, and Battle Star Galactica. I was so caught up in work I forgot to watch Breaking Bad. That might, for once, be a good thing. This past week the world lost Steve Jobs. Bless you Steve Jobs for all that you were, and all you accomplished.

I am your special Island.

Hames is a guy who makes chiptune music. If you've been paying attention you'd know I love chiptune music. I discovered him through his twitter friend Lexxercise (Andrea Douglas)who was recently tweeting about D&D stuff with Dresdencodak.

Similarly, Kate Beaton's Lois Lane comics were inspired by this Dean Trippe/Daniel Krall Lois Lane story which I discovered after the fact. Do you ever feel like everything important is connected? Oooooooh!

On April 29th, Googlevideo goes off the air and you'll end up missing out on all this fine programming. I know, I know---It's sad to see things fizzle out of existence, and in the current rut of the world economy it seems like more things will go before things get back on an even keel. Or will they ever be back on an even keel? What the heck is a keel anyway?

I can relate to being this geeky. I can't, however, pretend to be as organized as sexy nerd girl appears to be--bouncing from topic to topic, having fully digested every bit of everything she loves, still finding the time to reinterpret, recycle, or reproduce those things in her steadily updated blogosphere. Instead you get this mash potato and cheesy mac slop I've devoted myself to for the last two and a quarter years. Thanks for staying tuned anyway. You win a prize. It's a drawing. Just drop me a line with an idea you want to see me sketch, and it's yours as soon as you give me an address (any address p.o. boxes are fine too) to send it off to. This offer is limited to the first 5 responders.
