SOME THINGS

I was a college dj for four years while in school.  the station was kcpr and it was probably one of the nicest parts of my college experience.  having an access to a huge amount of great music and constant updates on new releases with a great community of like minded music lovers was actually more awesome than it sounds.  Although in retrospect I did take a year off when I was abroad and when I returned most everyone I knew was graduated, the new kids were cool and it turned out to be a good year station wise.  I’m still coping with not being a part of that station.  Searching for new music is an annoying/rewarding task, I’ve sort of forgotten how to do outside of a college radio station atmosphere.  Anyways I will post some short reviews of cd’s I bought.

Jaguar Love - Take Me To The Sea

Jaguar Love – Take me to the Sea

On paper, The Blood Brothers + Pretty Girls Make Graves sounds pretty amazing.  I like the album but not really as much as I thought I’d like it.  The songs are generally hit and miss with me I won’t go into details, but sometimes way to pop.  Overall I think it sounds like blood brothers, or pretty girls makes graves, but not as good.  I’d rather listen to blood brothers or pretty girls make graves than jaguar love.  some tracks are pretty awesome though, first track especially.

 

The Notwist – The Devil, You + Me

First, my album cover doesn’t look like this one.  It looks way worse, a bunch of color bars.  I didn’t know that this was even a cover until I saw it on allmusic.  maybe they’re wrong, maybe my cover is the real one and they uploaded some random image by accident.  The music is good.

 

Prefuse 73

2 discs. solid.

ALSO A COMIC FIND!

heres a comic by hope larson and bryan o malley

Also you should all read this if you haven’t already.  It’s really good.  If you didn’t know Bryan O’Malley and Hope Larson are a comics power couple and they’re really good.

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.
