GLITTERPOINT, Brooklyn

This was done last night for the glitter competition. Click image for large version.

Overall I’m very glad I took the time to do it because once it got going it was pretty fun. Glitter is a ridiculous material to use on any kind of rendering of anything. The general degeneration of my concept in the days prior was a good exercise as well. I generally ask the question of “How retarded can this become so it may possibly become the opposite of retarded?”

Another funny aspect was trying to scan/photo document the thing. I eventually settled on scanning and stitching it up in photoshop, because the text was completely illegible in photos. It looks much better in person, which is probably the case with all the entries to this competition.

Note to self, do not start working @ 6pm on a Sunday night on a spring forward weekend, especially if you have to wait for glitter glue to dry before scanning, because the next day at work will be brutal. Yesterday was brutal.

Thanks to everyone I talked to about the bad ideas I had, and even bigger thanks to everyone who somehow made them badder. I’d say I got it to about 50% of what I wanted to do. But given the outside factors involved, is a pretty good amount. I wanted to make a much more involved where’s waldo-esque drafted drawing, but it kind of ended up looking like a info pamplet or something, which is ok especially considering the time.

    Hey, I hadn’t checked into your site in a while, sitting here laughing like crazy at the glitter. I was trying to explain your cloud/zip tie chair to some ppl the other day, and they seemed to lack the imagination required to comprehend its brilliance/ridiculousness. They wanted to use zip ties to hang things off of fences. Very logical I suppose. In any case, I’ll have to check in more often, keep up the good work.

Tomahawk City, NY

So… Paul Lau and I are making a comic to handout @ NYCC (New York Comic Con) which is about a month away.  We gave ourselves a couple months to do this, however in our infinite wisdom only began drawing last week.  So we’re really pressed for time right now.  I’m not sure what the collaboration is called but it will feature two 12-14 page comics, back to back, like the classic double feature comics of old.

Above is either page 1 or 2 (not sure yet) of my comic tentatively titled “TOMAHAWK CITY, NY”.  It’s supposed to be a nighttime scene so I don’t know if it reads that way.  I feel like it’s a bit heavy on the tones.  Meh.  I am liking my lines so far though.   Hopefully Paul and I can get these badboy’s done and printed in time, and hopefully show some kids that we’re still cool, that we can still hang hahaha.  BTW Paul’s script is really funny.

Hopefully update soon!

EVERYTHING OUTSIDE IS DELICATELY MUTED.

The ever name changing collective of imhotep 2021, and meat pallet have been reimagined as Global Sand Architekten, and submitted an entry to the Sukkah City competition. The sukkah city team is Vivien, Hannah, Justin, and Myself.  In short the sukkah is a temporary structure used in the Jewish holiday of Sukkot, which is a harvest festival.  Each year there is a sukkah built in Union Square, this year there was a design competition for it, and 12 will be built.

Our non-winning entry involved a lace cube, some falsified ruins, and floating trees. It was somewhat hectic putting this board together. Judging by the winners designs shown on the internet, we were way off with our design language, laughably off. Regardless, I like how it turned out, and hopefully the winners can get these things built correctly, because if so I think Sukkah City will be pretty amazing event.

Terrible Horrible Part Deux

The wait is over. That concludes the longest ongoing Terrible Horrible strip ever. So not worth it.

Thumbnailing my new 12 page comic and it’s looking better.

Terrible Horrible

So the last Terrible Horrible was done some time in 2008. It’s 2010 now, thus this new one took 2 years to write and draw. It’s the worst thing I’ve ever made, BUT it’s the longest Terrible Horrible strip I’ve written, because it spans multiple 3 panel strips. I left you with a cliffhanger so you’ll have to tune in later when I post more.

In slightly larger news I would like to explain that this Terrible Horrible is a simple warm-up to getting back into drawing comics again. I finally met Paul Lau in NYC (we’ve met before, once – for like 15 min.) recently and foolishly we’ve decided to combine our efforts and make a split mini together for NY Comic-Con. Ground rules included: 5 characters, we would each get two, and share the fifth who will be an astronaut. We may have had a loose agreement to have it set in NYC. 12 pages each. I’ll explain more as things progress, but until then Terrible Horrible.
