Lucey was also the one who penned all the rock adventures of life in Don Kirshner's band The Archies. In fact, Harry Lucey put together one of the biggest novelty tales of Riverdale in the late sixties - The Archies meet Don Kirshner. This story is a fine demonstration of just how more sophisticated Lucey was than his contemporaries in the Archie offices. Purusing these pages, it cemented the fact that Lucey did not feel his job was to entertain children and that he did not regard his domain as kiddie comix. That's one of the reasons his stories hold-up so well now that we readers is all growed up, their conceptions are mature as fuck. What child alive, no matter how devoted they may have been to purchasing 45s of Sugar, Sugar  would have known who Don Kirshner was? The answer is few, and those that did, likely would have been excited by the prospect of Kirshner's real-life face crossing over into a Harry Lucey tale in Archie Comics #****. Lucey was writing and drawing comics that would entertain himself, never dumbing it down for children. The same could not be said for many, many people that were tolling away in the studios of Archie Comics Publications. It almost seems like an insult to pick have Harry Lucey's three stories in any Archie Comic of the late sixties interupted by a visit from Joe Edwards' Lil Jinx. Luckily there HAS been more interest in Harry Lucey of late. Although I haven't gotten around to writing a book about him yet, there are many positive signs in fandom. Somebody put together a YouTube video(!) of a Harry Lucey story here. Perhaps the best thing to come out of the recent interest spark, is that we now know Harry Lucey's name. Amazing that it only took the consumption of approximately nine hundred Archie stories that he both drew and wrote until we learned it. Retired in 1976 after having been diagnosed with Lou Gerihg's disease. Speculated to have died in August 1984. Developed and allergy to graphite in the sixties and had to wear white gloves whenever he drew. Developed Lou Gerihg disease cancer More Lucey Work: Read a full Harry Lucey Sabrina story here.

Daniel is smart guy with a keen understanding of Robot culture and the great potential of technology. Some reviews of this awesome book… From Publishers Weekly In this uncomfortably humorous survival guide, Wilson, a Ph.D. candidate at the Robotics Institute of Carnegie Mellon University, reminds readers that “any machine could rebel, from a toaster to a Terminator,” and though the forms our future robot enemies may take are manifold, they each have exploitable weaknesses that, fortuitously, match our natural human strengths. So, if a two-legged android gives chase, seek out a body of water, as “most robots will sink in water or mud and fall through ice.” It also may be a good idea to carry around a pair of welder’s goggles, as lasers will likely be robot attackers’ weapons of choice, and even a weak laser can cause blindness. Options for fighting back are plentiful, though not everyone will be relieved to learn the standard kitchen microwave can be retrofitted into a radiation gun that can destroy electronics and “cook human flesh.” (Instructions for such a project are not included.) Humorous and informative-Wilson drops robotics history trivia nuggets and includes brief descriptions of current robot research-this nifty little guide to surviving the inevitable robot apocalypse may have you reconsidering purchasing that “smart” (read: insidious) refrigerator.]]> 20 2006-03-30 14:00:00 2006-03-30 19:00:00 open open steve-rolston publish 0 0 post 0 _edit_lock _edit_last podPressPostSpecific podPressMedia ljID Rebecca Dart http://inkstuds.com/?p=19 Wed, 05 Apr 2006 13:26:00 +0000 http://inkstuds.com/?p=19 Rebecca Dart, creator of Rabbithead, one of the most original comix I have ever read, took the time out of our busy schedule to sit down with a chat with the Inkstuds.

Here is a little bio on Spain that I found online. Manuel “Spain” Rodriguez, born 1940 in Buffalo, NY, first gained fame as one of the founders of the underground comix movement of the 1960s. After drawing comics in New York for the East Village Other, he moved to San Francisco where he joined Robert Crumb and other artists on Zap Comix. Spain’s early years with the Road Vultures Motorcycle Club, and his coverage of the 1968 Democratic Convention in Chicago as a reporter for EVO are chronicled in his collection, My True Story (1994, Fantagraphics Books). Along with autobiographical stories and politically-oriented fiction featuring his best-known character, Trashman, Spain has produced a number of historical comics.

His parents were Sander (Alexander) and Mary Elizabeth Toth. Both could ill afford the happy event but still managed to make the best of it with their only child. His parents were both artistic and musical. Their small flat was always filled with music and singing. While his mother sang as she did the dinner dishes, his father would accompany her with his cimbalom (an Hungarian instrument) until the neighbors would bang on the steam pipes and pound on the walls–critics. With so much time to fill alone, Alex began to doodle at the age of three. His mother would draw pretty girl profiles and watching her may have led him to copying them and later to draw his own. But it was the Sunday funnies, comic books, and after- noons spent listening to daily radio adventure serials that helped a lot to fire up his imagination. Without the advent of television, Alex sat next to the radio sketching characters to match the voices of the characters from his favorite serials. A teacher from his poster class in junior high took time to urge that he make art his craft. So, even though his family was against it, Alex enrolled at the High School of Industrial Arts and studied illustration. While in high school he received his first paid freelance art assignment from Steve Douglas at “Famous Funnies”. After school Alex would spend most of his time at his drawing board doing two or three pages for “Heroic Comics”. In 1947, after graduating from high school, Shelly Myers hired him at D.C. and he worked there until 1952 when he moved to California. Alex was drafted into the U.S. Army in 1954 and was stationed in Tokyo, Japan. While in Japan he wrote and drew his own weekly adventure strip “Jon Fury” for the base paper. Re- ~ turning to the U.S. in 1956, Alex settled in the Los Angeles area and worked for Dell Comics until 1960. Prior to joining Hanna-Barbera in 1965, Alex did animation and comic book work including ghosting “Casey Ruggles” in 1950 and also “Roy Rogers” in 1960. Alex worked for Hanna-Barbera until 1968 and then again in 1973 when he was assigned to Australia for five months to produce the TV series “Super Friends”. Through the years Alex has worked for D.C., Marvel, Standard, Dell, Funnies, Inc., Whitman, Western, and numerous pulps, ad and illustration accounts on both coasts. He has illustrated and written his own stories for Warren Publications (Eerie, Creepy). One of his best known works is “Bravo for Adventure” which was serialized in two separate issues in The ROOK by Warren Publications. Later on it was published in its entirety with an additional four pages of intro by Dragon Lady Press (Canada). It was also published in Europe where it was greatly received and was translated in three languages.]]> 29 2006-06-08 14:00:00 2006-06-08 19:00:00 open open abby-denson-2 publish 0 0 post 0 _edit_lock _edit_last podPressPostSpecific podPressMedia ljID 230 http://www.stonethorn.com/zeitgeist/2009/03/25/quick-hits-69/ 208.113.250.49 2009-03-25 17:29:09 2009-03-25 22:29:09 1 pingback 0 0 8010 chingaria@aol.com 72.192.128.193 2009-07-31 12:11:58 2009-07-31 17:11:58 1 0 0 8015 inkstudsradio@gmail.com http:// 128.189.67.193 2009-07-31 12:28:27 2009-07-31 17:28:27 1 8010 1 Mark Kalesniko http://inkstuds.com/?p=30 Fri, 16 Jun 2006 00:14:00 +0000 http://inkstuds.com/?p=30 30 2006-06-15 19:14:00 2006-06-16 00:14:00 open open maakies publish 0 0 post 0 _edit_lock _edit_last podPressPostSpecific podPressMedia ljID Julian Lawrence http://inkstuds.com/?p=31 Fri, 23 Jun 2006 00:11:00 +0000 http://inkstuds.com/?p=31 Robin Konstabaris covered for me one week and took the reigns to interview vancouvers own, Julian Lawrence.

To quote the Fantagraphics website,Krazy Kat is a love story, focusing on the relationship of its three main characters. Krazy Kat adored Ignatz Mouse. Ignatz Mouse just tolerated Krazy Kat, except for recurrent onsets of targeting tumescence, which found expression in the fast delivery of bricks to Krazy’s cranium. Offisa Pup loved Krazy and sought to protect “her” (Herriman always maintained that Krazy was genderless), mostly by throwing Ignatz in jail. Each of the characters was ignorant of the other’s true motivations. This simple structure allowed Herriman (1881-1944) to build entire worlds of meaning into the actions, building thematic depth that led critics like Gilbert Seldes and e.e. cummings to recognize Herriman’s genius almost immediately. It is a very interesting episode on one of comicdoms most underrated and influential masterpieces. Special thanx to Jeet for his vast knowledge on all things Krazy.f]]> 543 2006-07-20 03:50:21 2006-07-20 08:50:21 open open krazy-kat-2 publish 0 0 post 0 _edit_lock _edit_last podPressPostSpecific podPressMedia ljID 96607 http://blog.neonmonster.com/uncategorized/hey-read-this-inkstuds-interview-with-cartoonists/ 82.113.147.198 2010-10-29 19:51:31 2010-10-30 00:51:31 1 pingback 0 0 Gareth Gaudin http://inkstuds.com/?p=36 Thu, 27 Jul 2006 19:00:00 +0000 http://inkstuds.com/?p=36 Gareth Gaudin, comix entrepreneur, joined us to discuss his work, The Magic Teeth Dailies.

Art Spiegelman did a review of the Muhammed cartoons last year, and graded them in a series of bombs out of 4(I think it was 4 but can’t remember the number, just the Bombs). In the latest issue, April 2007, Joe Sacco has a great 16 page strip about the training that the Iraqi National Guard goes through. Its a nice little follow up to his Guardian story last year, Complacency Kills, which was a look at some of the tragedy involved in serving in Iraq for American soldiers loosing themselves and friends. The latest story, follows Sacco’s almost obsession of tragedy in combat. We see a group of Iraqi wanna be soldiers, forced into training, when life in Iraq leaves little options for employment. Sacco aptly removes himslef from direct involvement in the training, but is able to capture the ridiculousness of what two weeks of combat training will get you. He portrays the group of trainees as almost bumbling fools, being trained by a group of muscle bound marines with hearts of stone. The Iraqi trainees having little other options than joining other military movements of a more, extreme context. I am always happy to get a new Joe Sacco story to read, and this is no difference. I am really happy with the magazine, and suggest that any fan of Joe Sacco should be compelled to check it. Who knows when the next Sacco story will be coming out, I know that he is working on a long form about the West Bank, but who knows when that is coming out. May this story hold your anticipation at bay until the next Sacco goody makes it way to the newsstands.]]> 101 2007-03-26 14:00:00 2007-03-26 19:00:00 open open joe-ollman-2 publish 0 0 post 0 _edit_lock _edit_last podPressPostSpecific ljID Ellen Forney http://inkstuds.com/?p=102 Thu, 29 Mar 2007 05:26:00 +0000 http://inkstuds.com/?p=102 Ellen is the very talented artist behind one of my favorite collection of 2006, I Love Led Zeppelin.

The one drawback, is the price. At 25 bux, it can be a steep for novice interest. So instead of telling you why you should get that book, I am going to tell you about a couple of other small books that are a more affordable way of checking out something new and different. Jason  McLean and Mark Delong,  have put together a nice little book with Nieve, called Melanie Sheepwash. As a flip book, it works great as a presentation of two very unique talents. Mark’s stuff is a great mix of Gary Panter with a sort of street like struggle. He really brings a neat complexity to the page that works on a lot of levels and gives you alot to absorb. This is the first time I have really gotten a look at his stuff, and I think any fans of the Fort Thunder crew would really find some love for Mark. Jason, I am little more familiar with his work. Looking at a painting by Jason, is like looking into the mind of creative process. His work is at one time incredible to look at, but also tells as story in itself. Filled with an array of complex imagery, you can easily loosing yourself in trying to take it all in. Every little corner of the page is packed to the with thoughts and emotions, spilling themselves onto the page. I really wish I could afford one of his originals, just to be able to look at it up close over long period of time. The other great book that I just picked up, is Luke Ramsey’s ongoing Islands Fold project. The book I picked up, is a collaboration with Justin B. Williams. Justin is a great young talent who I predict big things from. He did a great piece for the Beasts book from Fantagraphics, and in his Islands fold book, he really shows some great progress. A Great Big Stillness has what I really love about Justin’s work. He creates these great characters, that seem filled with conflicting emotions and thoughts. Its like their is a madness that they are trying to escape. He also utilizes odd sort of mountain settings filled with great chunks of bold imagery like patchwork blanket. Check out both these books. If you are outside of Vancouver,  I think you should be able to order  them from Sammy Harkhams shop, Family Store.]]> 103 2007-03-29 15:00:00 2007-03-29 20:00:00 open open jaime-hernandez publish 0 0 post 0 _edit_lock _edit_last podPressPostSpecific ljID Al Columbia http://inkstuds.com/?p=104 Thu, 05 Apr 2007 05:21:00 +0000 http://inkstuds.com/?p=104 This weeks guest is Al Columbia.

Alex uses a nice clean art style to pull together a wordless journey of a young boy trapped on a desert island. While the premise sounds a little contrived, its the balance between characters and conflict that pushes the story along smoothly. Alex really excels at playing with the idea of abandonment that the character is going through. The story is a neat struggle between joy of isolation, countered with the meeting of a new companion, at first disturbing a lifestyle and experience, but ultimately having a last effect on the young mans life. I am interested to see what Alex does in future work. The Last Island is a really interesting conscious experience, and I see lots of future potential in Alex and his utilization of alternative storytelling techniques.]]> 120 2007-04-09 21:28:00 2007-04-10 02:28:00 open open the-last-island publish 0 0 post 0 _edit_lock _edit_last podPressPostSpecific ljID Disquietville Vol. One http://inkstuds.com/?p=121 Tue, 10 Apr 2007 02:58:00 +0000 http://inkstuds.com/?p=121 I am always a sucker for the comix with loaded with great smooth storytelling using some classsic cartooning techniques. Daniel Spottwood makes me a happy reader with his classic strip shaped mini, Disquietville. Schooled in the ways of Ivan Brunetti, Peanuts and Chris Ware, Daniel’s colorful book is full of great character’s dealing with daily troubles and tribulations. The thing about his work that really sucks me in, is the way he is able to use the panel and to its full potential. The character’s of Disquietville are filled with struggles that amuse and delight. Originally posted online as a weekly webcomic, his stuff works better as a print comic. Daniel has created a small town of striving artists, pissed off deli boys and broken hearts. One of my favorite features is the great bold coloring he uses. It musn’t be cheap for him to print up the comix, so do yourself and Daniel a favor and pick it up at a con, or order it online and help support some great cartooning.]]> 121 2007-04-09 21:58:00 2007-04-10 02:58:00 open open disquietville-vol-one publish 0 0 post 0 _edit_last _edit_lock podPressPostSpecific ljID Mark Siegel and First Second Books and Comics http://inkstuds.com/?p=111 Thu, 12 Apr 2007 20:22:00 +0000 http://inkstuds.com/?p=111 First Second Books are publishing some of the most interesting and important new comix right now. only a year old in the publishing game, First Second has already established itself as one of the premiere publishers of fine comix.

So far I have only been exposed to the 4th issue of her ongoing series of autobio comix. Featured in this issue, is “Ex-Factor: A Romantic Resume” a collection of short strips reflecting on her history of bumbling interactions with boys over nearly 25 years(she got a young start with a nice embarrassing story kindergarten heartbreak). While most self exposing autbio comix can be very embarrassing to read and somewhat tedious, filled with nauseating naval gazing, Mari knows this and pokes fun at her own misfortune making for a really entertaining read. My particular favorite story, is a nice unfortunate menstrual timing and the shock on an unknowing young boy. I hate the term of a comic being a good one to show to your girlfriend, but its kinda true with this one. The strength is how relate-able her work is. Mari has a great minimal cartoony style, making great use of some solid blacks, and strong inks. For the skeptical reader looking for some kind of artistic comparison to base opinion on, I would say there is definitely a flavour of Mary Fleener, which equals goodness to me. Also included in this collection, is her story from the Pet Noir anthology, which was actually my fav from the book, so it’s a nice inclusion. Over all, its a great self-published collection that promises for more awesomeness in the future. For a nice list of where to pick up her comic, check out her site with a list of awesome stores that support the indy goodness.]]> 114 2007-04-24 14:00:00 2007-04-24 19:00:00 open open chester-brown publish 0 0 post 0 _edit_lock _edit_last podPressPostSpecific ljID 96184 Iserman9209@yahoo.com http://www.asenovgradbg.com/ 69.147.233.67 2010-10-10 15:19:48 2010-10-10 20:19:48 trash 0 0 Tim Sale http://inkstuds.com/?p=115 Thu, 26 Apr 2007 06:01:00 +0000 http://inkstuds.com/?p=115 This week, we were joined by comix superstar Tim Sale.

Segar. What many of us know of Popeye is a mere bastardization faded through Xerox visions. The original Popeye was crusty and, at first, only incidental. When E.C. Segar began his Thimble Theatre newspaper strip in 1919 it was little more than a comic take on adventure serials, damsel in distress kinda stuff. Eventually genre parody gave way to propelled flights of whimsy, stereotypes dissolved as Segar developed true characters and archetypes to propel these continuing misadventures, such as Olive Oyl and her brother Castor Oyl. Popeye made his first appearance one day back in 1929, only to disappear back into the ether after a few months. He wasn’t gone for long. Readers wrote in, demanding Popeye’s return—a spark was struck, something had stuck, a comic anti-hero that caught permanent fancy in the public’s twinkling craw. The strip was brilliant and Popeye just fit. Thimble Theatre was like ergot-laced barnacles, comedic interaction with a beating bandaged heart, featuring fantastic characters like the wish-granting Whiffle Hen and the eerily menacing Sea Hag. Most importantly, Thimble Theatre was funny. By the time of Segar’s death in 1938, Fleischer Studios had already produced a few very impressive Popeye cartoons in their own right, where fleeting moments from the original strip (spinach, Brutus nee Bluto) became permanent mainstays. Outside of the creator’s vision, these tropes nonetheless landed on the screen and other merchandising-friendly elements of popular culture. With this new volume from Fantagraphics, gregariously steel yourself for the real Popeye, the original ancient scrolls that stem from just before his first appearance and continue onwards chronologically. Here Popeye defies the conventions that were later to be thrust upon him by the non-Segars, the lesser lights. This big bound collection is a pure antidote for depression, especially if one veers towards surliness or cynicism, though wide-eyed naives can easily enjoy it as well. Volume One in a planned six-installment series, this stunningly assembled book holds great promise for the work to come (Volume Two introduces Wimpy!). Designed by Jacob Covey, the hardcover package features a cut-out word balloon title—it’s literally cut out of the hardbound cover. Fantagraphics has made excellent use of digital technology to render these strips in crisp glory; the full page colour newspaper strips are lush, soft washes. As such an integral part of comics history, these strips should always be in print. Before this book, one had to desperately seek out Fantagraphics’ previous re-printings from the early 90s, unassuming volumes that, even in soft cover, were less economical and not as advanced in design and layout. This book is a steal at approximately thirty dollars, an investment of joy. A few years back when I was seeking those earlier inferior volumes, my travels led me to Olympia, Wa—also known as Indie Rock Hell—where there exists a great comic shop called The Danger Room. The two proprietors would often argue about which was the greatest newspaper strip of all time: Thimble Theatre or George Herriman’s Krazy Kat. They each had both strips on their Top Two list anyway, so it was a microscopic yet enjoyable argument. If you want to add fuel to that debating fire there are some wonderful reprints of Krazy Kat also available, but I still pledge allegiance to Thimble Theatre. Before I take leave of you I should mention another must-have book that had me giddy as a schoolgirl’s first ride on a pony. Entitled Art Out Of Time: Unknown Comics Visionaries 1900-1969 and edited by Dan Nadel, this book pleases the palates of both comic know-it-alls and future junior initiates alike, with overlooked works by those who slipped through the cracks whilst expanding the form. And absolutely no super heroes to speak of. Just sweet delirium tremors. Seek it out. It will cause you to float in space.]]> 182 2007-07-08 00:25:00 2007-07-08 05:25:00 open open 35144 publish 0 0 post 0 _edit_lock _edit_last podPressPostSpecific ljID Kid Koala http://inkstuds.com/?p=185 Thu, 12 Jul 2007 23:13:00 +0000 http://inkstuds.com/?p=185 While being an awesome DJ, Eric San aka Kid Koala has been putting out some pretty darn good comix.

Kim is a pioneer in the world of comix, creating an intrecat complex universe revolving around Waldo the Cat. Kim has created a sleazy world of drugs, drinks and madness that can surround artistic passions in the veil of wonderfully constructed world of early 20th century animation studios, Vaudeville and depraved carnivals. His most recent books are Shadowland from Fantagraphics and Blvd of Broken Dreams and Alias that cat, both from Pantheon. Here is a great Deitch cartoon that ties in quite nicely to the show and his work. I was joined by local media hound, Robert Dayton, for an indepth retrospective of the works of Kim Deitch. After I mixed in some songs, the interview comes in at an awe inspiring 3 hours. This is an interview that all cartoonists and comix enjoying people should listen to, just to get a glimpse into the mind of one of the genre’s masters.

This week I am taking a side step in normal programming, and talking to one of my cultural hero’s. Genesis Breyer P-Orridge has been doing art and music for well over 30 years. From his early days in the art performance group, Coum Transmissions, to the pioneering music group, Throbbing Gristle and his expansive work with Psychic TV, Genesis has been pushing new boundaries in the way people understand music. Even if you haven’t heard of him, you have listened to someone who was influenced by his work. With his latest incarnation given the monicker, PTV3, Genesis is revisiting his roots of the psychedelic rock of the 1960’s and created the album Hell is Invisible/Heaven is Here. Its great mix of psychedelia with a blend of acareer’s worth of variety thrown into a nice soup. PTV3 will be touring the west coast later this month with dates in - Seattle - August 22nd Portland - August 23rd San Francisco - August 24th Los Angeles - August 25th Phoenix - August 27th San Diego - August 29th They will be doing a full tour in November, and you can be sure to see at the Vancouver performance, grinning like mad. I apologize for the quality of the recording. Unfortunately, Inkstuds is recorded at a non-profit college radio, and some times our facilities can be in disrepair. Meaning that the phone recording lines was screwed up when I did this. Please listen and enjoy.

Its a really neat mix of a surreal story of a spider colony juxtaposed against one woman’s sexual frustrations. Angela’s work is a really nice tight ink-wash with dynamic figure drawings. I like the way she is able to capture simple honesty in her characters without pushing too far into them, she just uses enough to tell the story. Check out her site for goodness. Skully Flower #3 - Dragon Green was nicely situated next to my good friend Joseph Bergin at Stumptown and happily exposed me to her comic fun. Collecting a selection of goods that she has been posting in her site, Skully Flower is a nicely drawn fun book about a young lady and her roommate, Skully Flower, whose name describes it perfectly. Dragon’s work is a really nice clean inking line that’s filled with fun. Go read the strip on her site and get sucked into the shlocky horror influenced silliness. Jason McLean is one of my favorite Vancouver artists. While I didn’t get his stuff at either cons, it’s still nice small press stuff you should check out. Most comix folk will be familiar with his work through Marc Bell’s Nog A Dod.  The most recent stuff he has been putting out, are nice collections in limited edition runs of 100 copies each. The first is called You Are So Far Away, it’s a collection of lists that seem like poetry that comes from your local telephone posts, espousing lost and forgotten ideas. The second is Wooden Heart, drawn over Dec/Jan of 2006/07. Wooden Heart is collection of freeform idea’s that seem to grew into odd semi-organic mechanations. Jason’s work is some of the more original stuff that you can come by. If you are interested in picking these up, go to the Gaff Gallery and check out the selection of t-shirts by artists Marc Bell, Jason, Keith Jones and more.

Opening this weekend at the Vancouver Art Gallery, is the Krazy Exhibition. For those that don’t know, the Vancouver Art Gallery is a very prestigous space and a show of this magnitude is a big deal. The focus of the Krazy show is on the art of Comics, Graphic Novels, Manga, Anime, Cartoons, Video Games and Visual Art. It is an odd assortment of pop culture enitites, but some how, curator Bruce Grenville, has managed to pull together a stellar looking show. The show will include work by -

    Graphic Novels and Comics folk - Milt Gross, Art Spiegelman, Phillip Guston, Kim Deitch, Dan Clowes, Chester Brown, Alison Bechdel, Shaun Tan, George Herriman, Harvey Kurtzman, Jerry Moriarty, Justin Green, Lynda Barry, Kevin Huizenga, Seth and Chris Ware.

    Manga - Hisashi Eguchi, Mamoru Nagano, Taiyou Matsumoto, akashi Okazaki, Junko Mizuno, Moyoco Anno, Yuichi Yokayama, and Hitoshi Odajima.

    Anime - Katsuhiro Otomo, Mamoru Oshii, Itano Ichiro, Masaaki Yuasa, Makoto Shinkai, Kon Satoshi, and Yoko Kanno.

    Cartoons - Winsor McCay, Lotte Reiniger, Ben Sharpsteen, Robert Cannon, Marv Newland, Nick Park, John Lasseter and Tim Johnson and Karey Kirkpatrick.

    Video Games - Iwatani Toru, Shigeru Miyamoto, Sid Meier, id Software, Shigeru Miyamoto, Rock Star Games and Will Wright.

    In the Visual Art section - Roy Lichtenstein, Claes Oldenburg, Marcel Broodthaers, Raymond Pettibon, Pierre Huyghe, Philippe Parenno, et al, Cao Fei, Chiho Aoshima, Mr. and Christian Marclay.

    Keep an eye for events throughout the summer to do with the Krazy show, including Fuse, Krazy Talk(including an Art Spiegelman lecture on May 15), a small press comic convention in the Gallery and much much more. Oh yeah, I am doing an Animation Event with Kim Deitch at the end of the summer there as well.

    As a bonus for this weeks show, I featured music by comix folk, including tracks by Robert Crumb, Gary Panter and Fox Hollow(featuring a whole bunch of Fantagraphics folks).

A few years ago I started writing about comics and more at try harder and have published reviews on a variety of sites. Recently, Robin contacted me about writing comic reviews for Inkstuds. Surprise! I am grateful to inkstuds for getting me through the hellish summer of 2008—two jobs a day, no natural light—by offering great interviews with comics creators, no eyestrain required. Now that my perma-headache and tingly butt have gone the way of short-shorts and mosquito bites, I enjoy Robin’s work even more. Anyway, my job here will be to, twice a month or so, review comics of the small press/ indie/ mini variety. Got something you think I should see? Drop me a copy at: Carrie Try Harder TTS PO BOX 113 New York, NY 10108 or send me an email: ms.tryharderATgmail.com So, what’s the best thing you’ve read recently?]]> 371 2008-10-29 01:00:00 2008-10-29 06:00:00 open open alex-robinson publish 0 0 post 0 _edit_lock _edit_last podPressPostSpecific ljID Snake Oil 1 & 2 by Chuck McBuck [Forsman] http://inkstuds.com/?p=373 Thu, 30 Oct 2008 01:18:00 +0000 http://inkstuds.com/?p=373 Last year I met Chuck McBuck at SPX. He was such a nice guy, and when he said he made comics and had some inside, I got a little nervous. What if his work was really bad or embarrassing? What if his work had giant balloon tits or ninjas in it? He led me over to the CCS table he was helming with Alex Kim and handed me a stack of comics made with creamy papers and stinky inks. I needn’t have been worried. In April of this year Snake Oil 1 appeared in my mailbox. SO1 is number one of the two parts that make up McBuck’s CCS thesis. It begins with two trash men in a diner. Tim is heartbroken (and looks familiar…) and Bob is hungry. Soon Tim will feel much worse. Later, we meet nice-guy Bob’s goth son Darryl and Darryl’s angry, lustful friend Kim. They are bored and decide to smoke some weed out of a pipe Darryl finds in his house. Kim starts without him and will soon feel much worse. All the story threads end up as cliffhangers in SO1. Normally this would be incredibly annoying, but the differing landscapes that Mc Buck creates keep the plot from being an overwhelming element and keep your eyes on the pages exploring the art. The black and white pen drawings render policemen and buffalo thugs equally well. The little touches in SO1 (endpapers that include elements from the stories strewn in a mysterious weed-filled lot, beautifully done title panels, the melancholy back-up story and the cover’s graphic eye-tease) made me excited for number 2 and called for a reread in between the issues, a must for a series where issues come out sporadically. Both cover colors of SO2 are striking, but the blue called out to me. The plot pushes the characters further into distress and one of the mysterious characters is revealed. My favorite chapter (?) is a one-pager called simply “Darryl” that, in four panels, shows us more about the character than pages of dialogue could. Besides a few standout panels, such as the chorus of meows in “Pretty Kitty” and Bob and his wife waiting at the door in “Slow Down,” the art in this issue was less innovative. While I liked the writing in the back up story, I didn’t really enjoy looking at it. Overall, Snake Oil reflects McBuck’s keen eye for creepy detail and a knack for pacing that much older artists should be envious of. I am really looking forward to see what he does next. Happy Ignatz(s) Chuck! [Yes, try harder readers, you have seen this one before. All upcoming reviews will be Inkstuds-exclusive, I promise.– Carrie] ]]> 373 2008-10-29 20:18:00 2008-10-30 01:18:00 open open anders-nilsen publish 0 0 post 0 _edit_lock _edit_last podPressPostSpecific ljID Shaun Tan http://inkstuds.com/?p=374 Thu, 30 Oct 2008 19:00:00 +0000 http://inkstuds.com/?p=374 Shaun Tan was in Vancouver recently, and we were able to track him down for a fantastic talk about his work.

This may lead you to believe that the comic might be a little earnest, a little boring. Don’t worry; even if you could avoid the skinless unicorn on the facing page, the eyes blooming from the art nouveau roses framing the acknowledgements should be a clue that something this book is going to be weird. But, wait, let’s back up a page. The cover, which shows a mermaid breastfeeding a baby unicorn in a shitty, rundown kitchen, is a great transitional image—it moves the reader from whatever mundane environment they are in to a fantasy world that, however shrouded in myth, emanates menace. Each of the five stories opens with an anatomical drawing of one of the creatures featured, providing glimpses of the thorax, ascending colon and lesser coverts. The details provided give some depth to the creatures that populate the stories, from the aforementioned mermaids and unicorns to flying cherub heads that shit out of their rosy bow mouths and are preyed on by bloodthirsty angels. In the first story, a morose Renaissance noblewoman communes with tamed nature in a royal garden. A pheasant struts by but it does nothing to relieve her sadness. Like most femininity across time, she is surveiled; in this story, her watchers are two dudes who look like they stepped off of a set of erotic playing cards for lovers of pale, pouty boys. When it looks like there will be nothing to see, the lady’s paramour appears and gives the watchers an unexpected and disturbing thrill. Most of the thrills in Milk Teeth are of the unexpected and disturbing variety. The longest story in the book, and also the only one with dialogue, is about mermaids. Instead of the kindly, sexy version, Allen’s mermaids are predators of the sea, scouring the ocean floor for manta rays to chomp on. But, even their majesty and killing power can’t save the mermaids from human appetites. Remind you of another story about mermaids? Though I usually like bright, saturated colors, I think the muted palette does the important job of removing the stories from this reality and forcing the reader to pay more attention to the details. Only black and white and the shades of two colors to bring the title-less story to life. Using the texture of the originals’ paper adds depth to the backgrounds, especially skyscapes. It almost feels like Milk Teeth is a pamphlet of addendums that fell out of a mysterious book of fairytales and fluttered down to rest on the comic shelf. Though I know that lots of folks have picked this book up, it still feels like these creepy stories were written just for me. I hope you’ll feel that way too.]]> 375 2008-11-02 19:11:00 2008-11-03 00:11:00 open open joe-sacco-2 publish 0 0 post 0 _edit_lock _edit_last podPressPostSpecific ljID Paul Gravett http://inkstuds.com/?p=377 Wed, 05 Nov 2008 19:00:00 +0000 http://inkstuds.com/?p=377 campbell_crossroads.jpg Paul Gravett is one of those folks that doesn’t make comics, but knows a hell of a lot more about them than the rest of us.

After a nicely done transition, we are introduced to two foster kids, 12-year-old Jamie with her stuffed raccoon and her brother Jack, dressed like punk rock high school kids the world over. Because of Baillie’s deft choices, we learn in a mere two pages that Jamie loves to draw, that she adores Jack and that their foster situation is anything but cozy. When Jack runs away, Jamie decides to try to find him. The characterization of Jamie is just about perfect. In a perfectly child-like way, she believes that her bro wouldn’t just leave, that he was thinking of someone other than himself when he did, and that his disappearance is a mystery that she must solve. It’s both sweet and heartbreaking. Baillie gives Jamie naiveté and manages to leave open the question of how much of this trait is a reaction to a crappy life. One neat aspect of the fact that this issue is basically a prologue to what I imagine will be a lengthy story is that the story moves back and forth through time— we see Jamie sleeping rough on her quest to find Jack, we meet Jack in a flashback, we see Jamie with her legs swinging out of the open door of a boxcar. One reason this works is that Baillie is great with details that provide foreshadowing and back story — the foster mother’s slipper-shod foot grinding out a spent on the floor shows the squalor and tension of Jamie and Jack’s living situation, the various paper scraps in the trash in Jamie’s room give clues to his desires and, my favorite, the full page dedicated to all the items that will end up in Jamie’s running-away-knapsack show how young she is (a troll doll), as well as her dedication to finding Jack (a map and a picture of the two of them together). The beautiful and precise Black and white art helps readers stay grounded as well; Baillie’s characters have a consistent look, you can tell what even the tiniest items on the page are and the characters’ expressions are very telling, not that I expected anything less. Jamie’s journey really seems to begin with a voice in the night, “Well, hey there, little bear!” Out of the woods comes a man in patched overalls that looks like somebody’s marginally creepy, hippy dad, called Mr. Fingerfoot (!) who explains that he is a “scout” for “the Contessa.” In a smart choice of dialogue he says that Jamie “must be new at this,” leaving us to consider exactly what Jamie has decided to do. She resignedly follows Mr. Fingerfoot into the darkness (another cue that makes me think that her short life was full of un-choices) and is surprised to find a band of raggedly, but friendly kids around a campfire. With that hopeful image Freewheel: Chapter One ends, leaving a strong desire to see what happens next. Along with the anticipation though, Baillie’s further exploration of punk youth culture (See My Brain Hurts, kids) leaves a slight feeling of the story seeming about two dollars short, but I guess a lady’s got to make a living. Check out Robin’s interview with the artist here.]]> 740 2008-11-24 17:51:44 2008-11-24 22:51:44 open open freewheel-chapter-one-by-liz-baillie publish 0 0 post 0 _edit_lock _edit_last podPressPostSpecific ljID John Pham http://inkstuds.com/?p=742 Mon, 24 Nov 2008 22:52:49 +0000 http://inkstuds.com/?p=742 John Pham is one of the new kids on the Fantagraphics scene.

When it doesn’t, he decides to turn in. The next day brings a slightly brighter routine: some chores, a trip to the coffee shop, lunch in a park, food shopping, and more, all done by bus or roller skate skateboard. But don’t be fooled by the momentary upswing. Just because badger’s going through the motions of life doesn’t mean that he won’t be lured by the tantalizing, garbage-strewn alleys and human-less haunts of rock bottom! Hardiman’s badger is cute but sad as advertised, and the brushwork used to make him is lush and juicy. Sometimes though, the gray tones of the work conspire with tiny panels to make some hard to read, and that interrupts the flow of this wordless work. This could be the fault of my reader’s copy, though. And while the charms of badger’s mini knapsack and fishing pole go very far, Hardiman’s human characters look distractingly flat and poorly drawn, making badger’s world not as lively as it could be. Buuuuuut, this is badger’s melancholy tale and lovers of anthropomorphism will definitely dig it.]]> 759 2009-01-06 10:00:37 2009-01-06 15:00:37 open open badger-by-howard-hardiman publish 0 0 post 0 _edit_lock _edit_last podPressPostSpecific ljID 6687 hhardiman@gmail.com http://www.cutebutsad.co.uk 92.239.21.169 2009-07-19 02:16:52 2009-07-19 07:16:52 1 0 0 Robert Goodin http://inkstuds.com/?p=761 Tue, 06 Jan 2009 23:01:23 +0000 http://inkstuds.com/?p=761 Robert Goodin’s comics are a fun rare gem.

The first and longest story is Corrine Mucha’s autobiographical “Growing Up Haunted.” GUH revisits the story touched in an earlier mini of the witches that “just kind showed up” and lived in a castle behind her closet. Corrine uses the witches as a jumping off point to discuss fear, memory and growing up. Her crosshatched, Lynda Barry-esque style is perfect for telling this story of bepatterned witches, secret rooms and shattered nerves. The story weaves through time and Mucha uses the space differently for each thread of the story—a subtle and sophisticated move. Upon rereading, it’s Mucha’s comic timing chops that really shine. The interplay between her voiceover text and the depictions of moments from the past beneath and the dialogue she gives to the witches is so charming and funny that it seems effortless. “High School” by Elijah Brubaker is an origin story for the downtrodden skeleton and rebel-without-a-cause bunny (Ray and Hubert, respectively) characters that appeared in an earlier Papercutter. The story is short and superficial—basically the two meet in career development class, personalities fully formed. I didn’t really like the characters the first time I read about them and “High School” added nothing to my opinion of this story line. The contrast in appearance between Ray and Hubert’s simplicity and the more dimensional “humans” is interesting, but ultimately doesn’t go anywhere. Apparently the next two issues will have more Ray and Hubert stories so perhaps that element will develop in the later installments. Jeremy Tinder’s “Pete at Night” sets up the tale of a geeky, bar-going writer with your typical thwarted desires. His frustration sends him out into the night and into the webbed hand of destiny. As much as I ended up liking the resolution of this short story, I couldn’t help but feel that Tinder wanted his writer character to end up in a good place and decided to throw in a surreal element to]]> 769 2009-02-01 18:03:59 2009-02-01 23:03:59 open open papercutter-issue-8-edited-by-greg-means-2 publish 0 0 post 0 _edit_lock _edit_last podPressPostSpecific ljID Mark Atomos Pilon http://inkstuds.com/?p=771 Wed, 04 Feb 2009 23:04:51 +0000 http://inkstuds.com/?p=771 This week, I chat with local Vancouver painter, Mark Atomos Pilon.

The first, Sorry, featured the work of Colleen Frakes, Caitlin Plovnick, Mario van Buren, and Emily Wieja. It was ok. No!, despite one rather weak entry, is better. The silk-screened covers by Colleen Frakes have a sweet Scrabble theme and so beautifully kinetic drawing. Her story, “No, Man” is a fable about a series of denials that leads to an endless cycle of war. Her bear characters appear here and are as iconic as ever. Morgan Pielli’s silly take on giving a hearty “No!” to societal and property boundaries is a great exercise in using varied panel structure to add spice to a one-note concept. His gabby line-crosser explores himself right into another story and despite the abrupt punch line I enjoyed it because the art is so easy on the eyes. “Knee Deep in the Alphabet Soup,” by Jon Chad is a detailed, beautiful gross-out story about too much soup and not enough loving. I am not sure how it explores the theme, unless Chad is suggesting that the main character, the sweaty and perpetually terrified Bobo Backslack, should have said no to advice from that creepy guy in the grocery store. Lastly, there is Lauren O’Connell’s “Fancyclue.” I am not really sure what to say about this one. It seems to have been conceived and drawn by a child really into Nancy Drew-type mysteries and aware of only the trappings of adult love. The comic ends with the question of does he or doesn’t he like her, vote yes or no, which perhaps is meant to fulfill the theme requirement but just adds to the bizarre childishness of the comic. It simply does not stand up to the other work in No!. I tend to like themed anthologies and if the proceeds go to a good cause, then all the better. I am looking forward to seeing what the CCSers and former CCSers have to offer in upcoming Four Square books and I wish them fruitful conventioneering.]]> 784 2009-02-24 18:13:37 2009-02-24 23:13:37 open open no-by-various-artists-edited-by-colleen-frakes publish 0 0 post 0 _edit_lock _edit_last ljID podPressPostSpecific CF http://inkstuds.com/?p=360 Thu, 26 Feb 2009 02:43:00 +0000 http://inkstuds.com/?p=360 CF aka Christopher Forgues aka Kites and some other musical projects, sat down with me for a chat about comix.

    About Gene Day

    Gene Day (1951-1982) began his career in the Canadian alternative comix scene. In the seventies he began his own publishing imprint, Shadow Press / House of Shadows and put out over twenty issues of Dark Fantasy, a horror/fantasy/sci-fi digest that featured the early writings of Joe Lansdale, Charles De Lint, John Bell and Charles R. Saunders, amongst others; a short-lived comic publication, Out of the Depths and various other one-shots, portfolios, and prints. Day drew for the Skywald magazines Psycho and Nightmare from 1974, as well as the Canadian comic anthology, ORB, and Mike Friedrich’s independent comics company Star Reach, contributing to the Star Reach anthology, Image and Quack. Day did illustrations for fantasy role-playing games and had a collection of his comic stories, ‘Future Day’, published by Flying Buttress Press as a hardcover graphic novel in 1979. He was a longtime inker on Marvel’s ‘Master of Kung Fu’ title by Mike Zeck, starting in 1976 and later took over as full penciler on the series. He also inked on the licensed ‘Star Wars’ series, pencilled by Carmine Infantino, as well as ‘The Mighty Thor’ and ‘Marvel Two-in-One’ featuring ‘The Thing’. From 1985 to 1986, Renegade Press published four issues of Gene Day’s ‘Black Zeppelin’, an anthology series primarily featuring stories and painted covers Day completed before his death, as well new contributions by Sim, Bruce Conklin, Augustine Funnell, and Charles Vess. More of his work appeared posthumously in Caliber Comics’ anthology series Day Brothers Presents, which also featured the work of Day’s artist brothers, David and Dan Day. Dave Sim credits Gene Day as his earliest and most influential mentor and the inspiration for his own self-publishing efforts. Gene Day was inducted into the Canadian Comic Book Creator Hall of Fame in 2007.

I dug through the shelf until I spied the lemur-monsters of #1. After a cursory flip-through I decided to buy both. Toastycats #1 includes some fun sketches, including a wolfman in black tie, a bowl of steamed mussels, and “Leonard Cohen’s monkey,” a few short stories and a serial in one-pagers called Meet the Vermins. Meet the Vermins is by far the weakest part of Toastycats. The drawing looks slapdash compared to the rest of the work and the story, such that it is, is unfunny. The rest of the comic shows off Boreysza’s grasp of nuance. “Horse’s Tears” is a funny story-in-a-spread about a horse with friends disguised as enemies. The horse’s limpid eye and dripping tear really shows the hurt!  The last story, “Laika,” is an imaginative tale of dog mythology, specifically, the story of the dog that went into space and didn’t come back. It is pitch perfect and the last panel casts a surprisingly light on the story’s world. Toastycats #2’s content is similar to #1, but the short stories tip the balance toward creepy. In both “A Word of Advice” and “The Seed Part 1” Boreysza does a great job of ratcheting the tension up panel by panel. Her human (or humanoid) characters are only one step away from the bizarre animals she creates which has the effect of making the atmosphere in her longer stories decidedly dreamlike. I can’t wait for more from this Edinburghian. Hopefully next time I won’t have to go all the way to Texas to get it.]]> 1494 2009-03-16 21:58:12 2009-03-17 02:58:12 open open toastycats-1-2-by-magda-boreysza publish 0 0 post 0 podPressPostSpecific _edit_lock _edit_last ljID 112 lookoutforsimon@hotmail.com http://www.lookoutforsimon.blogspot.com 91.115.170.242 2009-03-17 02:34:47 2009-03-17 07:34:47 1 0 0 125 http://www.blogbookmarker.com/tags/imaginative 67.228.47.154 2009-03-17 21:29:53 2009-03-18 02:29:53 1 pingback 0 0 Book Launch http://inkstuds.com/?p=1499 Tue, 17 Mar 2009 03:30:32 +0000 http://inkstuds.com/?p=1499 Hey Guys, you better all come to this.

Most of the shows on the site should be at 128kbps, some are less, but most are at that standard. As well. I FINALLY fixed all of the ID3 tags on the files. I am the first to admit that sometimes I get really lazy about the small stuff. and as the show progressed, it became more and more daunting to look at fixing things up. There are nearly 200 shows up for you listening pleasure, and I hope you enjoy. Please take the time to check out the back catalogue. All the shows are linked on the side, for easy reference for finding an artist that you are interested in that may have been on in the past. As a bonus, here is one of the earliest shows we did. This is from the first couple of months when I had no idea of what to do with the Inkstuds. Colin and I were not really focused and just kind of fell back on talking about certain creators we liked. For some people thats fine to alot of, but I really didnt get much out of it, and after I talked to Mary Fleener live on air, I knew I wanted to do interviews. Colin and I yaked for an hour about the work of Jiru Taniguchi. For the most part, it was a good talk, but if you listen carefully, you can hear the point where I have nothing left to say and too much time on my hands.]]> 1577 2009-03-23 00:49:53 2009-03-23 05:49:53 open open catching-up-on-inkstuds-spring-cleaning publish 0 0 post 0 _edit_lock _edit_last podPressMedia ljID podPressPostSpecific 295 vonschlosser@yahoo.com 71.63.236.25 2009-04-01 01:42:14 2009-04-01 06:42:14 1 0 0 301 inkstudsradio@gmail.com http:// 128.189.193.181 2009-04-01 10:27:09 2009-04-01 15:27:09 1 295 1 Ted Stearn http://inkstuds.com/?p=1580 Thu, 26 Mar 2009 07:11:55 +0000 http://inkstuds.com/?p=1580 This has to be one of my favorite interviews i have done in awhile.

Normally I don't pick up manga, but I make exceptions for Tezuka and Tatsumi. I had already read most of his Buddha run and loved it and some of Ode to Kirihito that I need to revisit. Apollo's Song was really incredible. I had heard good things, but really, it blew me away. There are so many issues that Tezuka is dealing with, within this one book. In one part, he is doing a Scifi epic that is commenting on the changes in Japanese society in 1970. It seems to follow a thread throughout hte book of unease with his surroundings, as seen through his protagonist eyes. It follows the life of Shogo and his problems with love. the accompanying chapters all take a different look at love and the challenges it represents. He sends Shogo through a mental minefield, leaping him through time like its straight out of a Philip K. Dick book. Tezuka makes some really interesting commentaries of Japanese life within Shogo. The part that I found most interesting, was were his character is living the experience of a German soldier during the second world war, loading  civilians onto trains to be taken away, and well, I don't need to fill in the blanks for you. I have feeling that the use of Germans or Nazis was a way of making a comment on the Japanese military excesses during the war, without being direct. There is so much to be gleaned from this book on so many different levels. I really can't recommend this enough. I find Tezuka so fascinating, because he can create such strong work, and still keep making lots of great comics and not slow down. I really feel like he doesn't have a western contemporary that has the same level of timeless appeal. Kirby and Ditko are great, but in a certain way, they hold a kind of nostalgia that impresses on their importance and makes them hard to read as objects within themselves without relying on repuation. My other book for today was Diamond Comics 3 published by Floating World Comic Store in Portland. This is probably the opposite of the Tezuka. This newspaper is definitly from Kramers School of comic making. I wish I could find more info on it, but they seem to only have stuff for the first 2 issues. I do really like the newspaper format of comics quite alot. Its fun, easy and feels almost disposable(but I am such a dork, that when I have enough, I am going to get them bound into a hardcover). This paper is worth it just for the Josh Simmons story, "Christmas Eve". Its an fun little dream like piece and just like any of Josh's work, it creeps you out at just the right moment. I also love the part by Nathan Fox, who seems to be the best guy at comic violence going right now. Bald Eagles, you need to step it up. Most of the other stuff is neat, but I feel like the cartoonists aren't really fully realized yet and still have some more work to do to strengthen up on. You can find more info about it at Floating World's Myspace page, if you still go to myspace. And I think you can buy this easily at Atomic Books. ]]> 1593 2009-04-02 02:00:15 2009-04-02 07:00:15 open open april-daily-challenge-day-1 publish 0 0 post 0 podPressPostSpecific _edit_lock _edit_last ljID 303 abuck@pdx.edu 24.20.195.126 2009-04-02 04:17:54 2009-04-02 09:17:54 1 0 0 Paul Hornschemeier 09 http://inkstuds.com/?p=1596 Thu, 02 Apr 2009 08:03:44 +0000 http://inkstuds.com/?p=1596 Just in time for Paul Hornschemeier's visit to the Pacific Northwest.

I am going to get to interview Jaime on Saturday at the Emerald City Comicon, so I figured it was about time to catch up with my favorite brothers. This new annual format is really fascinating because of the way that it sets a certain expectation of production and in the same part also, limits how they develop their own stories. Jaime's work seems to be a return to old form of his early Scifi days. His story is truly uniquely Hernandez take on superhero comics. It is a great contrast After reading the Education of Hopey Glass, which really looks at the internal workings of Hopey as a character in herself without the being dependent on Maggie. Jaime's story in this book, is an odd way of having a fun time of exploring Penny Century dealing with a tragic loss in a way that is very reminiscent of Byrne/Claremont X-men. Gilbert's work on the other hand, is a mixture of different odd surreal short stories. It is pretty much a continuation of his work in Fear of Comics. I feel like Gilbert is at a point in his career, where his cartooning is so strong, you can feel the comfort he has in one of his stories. I love that in one story, it will be an silent play of a figure dancing just following his form, and then the next story, will be a heart wrenching 5 page story of pain and loss. The two brothers are certainly masters of the form and this is a great example of them having fun with their work. I am really curious to see how this format works in coming volumes. Will they return to longer form stories, or will there be an attempt to contain the work within the one book. I also read Jaime's page in Kramers Ergot 7(you can se the page here). I enjoyed the story in itself, but I don't feel like he really played with the huge page. It is nice to see a continuation of the fun stuff. ]]> 1601 2009-04-02 23:19:11 2009-04-03 04:19:11 open open april-daily-challenge-day-2 publish 0 0 post 0 _edit_lock _edit_last podPressPostSpecific ljID April Daily Challenge Day 3 http://inkstuds.com/?p=1603 Fri, 03 Apr 2009 17:34:09 +0000 http://inkstuds.com/?p=1603 Milo Manara and Hugo Pratt. This book is a great example of two creators at the top of their game coming together to let all the kids know how comics are done. The background in this creative relationship helps add to the importance of a book like this. Hugo Pratt was a mentor for Manara as a young creator in his early days of cartooning. Manara's longer work, the Adventures of Giuseppe Bergman, was very formed and influenced by the guiding hand of Pratt. He even included a character in the story, called HP, who bore a striking resemblance to Pratt. I have a whole lot more to say about Pratt, but I think its best to save that for when I review his Corto Maltese books. Indian Summer, or in the original Italian - Tutto Ricominciò con un'Estate Indiana, tells the story of a group of pilgrims and their encounters with the local native population. It follows the snowballing effect of disaster when an outcast of the pilgrims shoots two natives that had just raped a young pilgrim woman who had been out picking berries. The story is full of all smut and corruption one could expect from Milo Manara, but it is balanced by Pratt's fascinating story. The book is rife full of biblical such as the pilgrims camp being called New Canaan and most of the characters having names right out of the bible, such as Elijah. Pratt has a subtext within the story that can be seen as some kind of old testament confrontation between Israelites and Philistines, fighting over the fertile territory. Pratt provides a nice epilogue explaining what happens to the characters over time in 17th century North America, which is accompanied by some gorgeous watercolour sketches by Manara. Apparently the story was created with extensive research on Pratt's part, into the history of that area and then piecing together his work into a fine narrative. I am a huge fan of Manara, and this is probably one of his stronger books visually, and it is really neat to see two long time friends, work together in creating an interesting book. At some point in the coming months, I will have a written interview with Manara to post. Unfortunately, he doesn't speak English, so I had to rely on a translator to help with the process, but any chance to communicate with one of my comics idols, makes me a happy inkstud. ]]> 1603 2009-04-03 12:34:09 2009-04-03 17:34:09 open open april-daily-challenge-day-3 publish 0 0 post 0 _edit_last _edit_lock podPressPostSpecific ljID April Daily Challenge Day 4 http://inkstuds.com/?p=1605 Sun, 05 Apr 2009 08:30:38 +0000 http://inkstuds.com/?p=1605 The Bun Field by Amanda Vahamaki published by those good folks at Drawn and Quarterly. It's a great example of how some of a young cartoonist taking in some great avant-guard influences. The Bun Field is an odd surreal journey that explores some of the horrors in childhood imagination. Amanda's style is kind  of like a less well crafted Renee French. She is able to explore an interesting dreamlike quality that feels like the inside of abandoned five year old consciousness. There are some interesting tricks used by Vahamaki, where she plays with the camera angels in a shot, jumping back and forth from the inside of characters head, and then watching the world that character is in an how it is effecting. I do think it is a neat read, but in all honesty, $12.95, its a little steep, and reads like the creator still has some work to do with her idea's before it is completely realized. ]]> 1605 2009-04-05 03:30:38 2009-04-05 08:30:38 open open april-daily-challenge-day-4 publish 0 0 post 0 podPressPostSpecific _edit_lock _edit_last ljID April Daily Challenge Day 5 http://inkstuds.com/?p=1608 Mon, 06 Apr 2009 03:04:00 +0000 http://inkstuds.com/?p=1608 Erika Moen's name floating around, and was quick to grab some mini's given he opportunity. I honestly don't read many webcomics, so this stuff was all new for me. I picked up issues 1 and 2 of Dar. Her comics are a fun, honest trip through her own sexuality. Fans of Ellen Forney will be really happy with this. Erika has a lot of fun in her storytelling, and it is neat how she is using the comics to explore her own sense of personal identity. I do get a little bummed out by the webcomics format that tends to limit creators to a page or two, and would be interested in seeing what she does when her work is a little more stretched out. She does have a larger collection coming out, and I will probably pick that up. ]]> 1608 2009-04-05 22:04:00 2009-04-06 03:04:00 open open april-daily-challenge-day-5 publish 0 0 post 0 podPressPostSpecific _edit_lock _edit_last ljID 362 ms.tryharder@gmail.com http://tryharderyall.blogspot.com 64.236.245.243 2009-04-07 15:36:45 2009-04-07 20:36:45 1 0 0 363 inkstudsradio@gmail.com http:// 154.20.166.134 2009-04-07 15:46:45 2009-04-07 20:46:45 1 0 1 Leon Beyond Athon http://inkstuds.com/?p=1610 Mon, 06 Apr 2009 18:35:57 +0000 http://inkstuds.com/?p=1610 Leon Beyond recently.

I decided to finally read the first of many volumes of his fine collaboration with Jean-Michel Charlier - Chihauhua Pearl. This book follows the intrepid hero on his journey for a half million dollars worth of confederate gold. Blueberry lives in world very similar to the Leone spaghetti westerns. None of the characters are good people and even the protagonist himself is fault with faults of his own. Moebius takes you through a messy dirty mexico filled with back stabbers, greedy confederate deserters and much more. Don't expect a western along the lines of Deadwood though. There are all sorts of little touches of Moebius's work that he throws in that I love. Blueberry looks obviously filthy and you can see how he is getting more and more run down as the story progresses. His characterization is great, he is not a completely likeable hero, but at the same time, he steers away from being a Han Solo type of anti-hero. He is bit of an idiot sometimes even, which is a nice touch that alot of creators don't use nearly often enough(except Johnny Ryan, but all of his characters are idiots). The way the book is put together, it seems that the series was originally published as half page segments in a newspaper, but it doesn't ruin the pacing at all. I think 99% of webcomics folks that are trying to do extend stories should read this, just to see how a master does it and take extensive notes. I know that this book will be hard as hell to come by, but if you get the chance, do yourself a favor and go hunt it down. I have even seen some Blueberry stuff on ebay for a decent price recently. And make sure you check out Moebius's site, it is AMAZING!1!!1!!!!!! ]]> 1614 2009-04-06 15:17:56 2009-04-06 20:17:56 open open april-daily-challenge-day-6 publish 0 0 post 0 podPressPostSpecific _edit_lock _edit_last ljID 350 lookoutforsimon@hotmail.com http://www.lookoutforsimon.blogspot.com 91.113.83.114 2009-04-07 07:06:03 2009-04-07 12:06:03 1 0 0 494 sergioamorim@gmail.com 212.13.46.103 2009-04-11 07:31:09 2009-04-11 12:31:09 1 0 0 498 inkstudsradio@gmail.com http:// 96.49.99.96 2009-04-11 12:59:26 2009-04-11 17:59:26 1 494 1 96458 Calcagino103@hotmail.com http://www.mlmteambuilders.com/forums/index.php?action=profile;u=1975 173.208.71.124 2010-10-21 20:51:08 2010-10-22 01:51:08 trash 0 0 April Daily Challenge Day 7 http://inkstuds.com/?p=1620 Wed, 08 Apr 2009 02:20:29 +0000 http://inkstuds.com/?p=1620 First off, Master Race by Bernie Krigstein. I read this today while working on a paper about literary traditions with a reference to Maus. Krigstein was doing some crazy shit on the page that looks like something that belongs in an issue of Raw. Master Race is an 8 page story from Impact Comics #1 published by EC in 1954. It follows the story o a former commander of a German Concentration Camp that is haunted by his horrible actions while riding a New York subway. Krigstein uses all sorts of odd angels and close ups to capture the despair and fear that character is dealing with when he recognizes another passenger as someone from his past. He also utilizes a really neat cinematic look to slow action right down and then also uses to a similar technique to give the idea of speed and movement on the subway. I don't think I can accurately describe what Krigstein does with this story, so maybe go read Paul Gravett's essay on Krigstein, he is smarter than me. My other review for today is the much anticipated Asterios Polyp by David Mazzucchelli. This is one of the best books that I have read in quite awhile. I know David has been working on this for several years, and it shows. Batman Year One and Rubber Blankets are some of my favorite comics, and I think this will join the stack. I feel like this shows such a progression in technique in styles. His other work, is that of a younger cartoonists and reflects a certain sensability that has shifted with this latest work. Asterios Polyp is a story of love and lonely, balance and chaos and  lastly loss and renewal. The story follows the life of Asterios Polyp, who plays the role of a bit of an anti-hero. Throughout the book, we are shown his new life and his old life, constantly contrasting to show some dimension of change. The old Asterios is kind of detestable, while the new, you want to admire and root for. I am going to avoid too much of a description of the story, and leave that for you when you read it. I am curious of how much of the character is a stand in for Mazzucchelli. Asterios is professor of architecture known for his incredible designs, but not having any of them built, while Mazzucchelli has been removed from comics working on this epic, that he has become a figure that everyone is waiting for something from. There are more little points of comparison and analysis, but I will save that for someone more capable. The part about the book that I find fascinating, is his use of representation. The past and present both have a unique colour scheme that seem to reflect the state of mind that Asterios is in. The colours he uses are very very close to what Frank Santoro and Ben Jones have been using with Cold Heat and I find it fascinating that both books use the similar hues. But that is something that Frank can analyze, the way he loves to analyze colour. The book also has a great use of representational symbols that show Mazzucchelli really speaking to the strengths of what can be done with comics when pushed far enough. At some points I do feel like I am reading a Scott McCloud book, but he manages to reign in before that can happen. I highly recommend picking up this book when it comes out(june 2). Until this book does come out, maybe do yourself a favor and go order Rubber Blankets #3 from Last Gasp. Mazzucchelli really deserves to be spoken of, with the same level of respect as guys like Clowes, Ware and Pante.This book will remind all the new fans of alternative comics, just who David is and why he is important. ]]> 1620 2009-04-07 21:20:29 2009-04-08 02:20:29 open open april-daily-challenge-day-7 publish 0 0 post 0 podPressPostSpecific _edit_lock _edit_last ljID 368 lookoutforsimon@hotmail.com http://www.lookoutforsimon.blogspot.com 91.113.95.181 2009-04-08 03:01:36 2009-04-08 08:01:36 1 0 0 376 ms.tryharder@gmail.com http://tryharderyall.blogspot.com 64.236.245.243 2009-04-08 14:31:43 2009-04-08 19:31:43 1 0 0 377 inkstudsradio@gmail.com http:// 24.84.208.40 2009-04-08 15:00:33 2009-04-08 20:00:33 1 0 1 96404 Chavera142@yahoo.com http://thickgirls.org/ 91.210.106.109 2010-10-16 23:29:31 2010-10-17 04:29:31 trash 0 0 96480 meiTreeMontana6@yardleyesh.com http://www.bikeracksforcars.org/ 212.110.183.139 2010-10-22 15:15:42 2010-10-22 20:15:42 trash 0 0 April Daily Challenge Day 8 http://inkstuds.com/?p=1624 Thu, 09 Apr 2009 03:16:06 +0000 http://inkstuds.com/?p=1624 Escapo is interesting but really in the end, not fleshed out enough. Paul Pope released this story in the midst of his flurry of production surrounding THB, and it feels like a bit of a throw away side story. Escapo is a kind of Houdini meets Philip K Dick kind of story. Like most of Pope's other work, it takes place in barren land with characters of no real discernable level of moral qualities. The art of the story is fantastical full and half page spreads that capture an idea of loneliness that can be found in the story, but I don't feel it goes far enough with the characters. Maybe my problem is that I spent more time reading the introduction, than it took to read the comic it self. There is something I find annoying about personality promotion and this book just stinks of it. The book features a prominent full page photo of Pope in his full moody glory. If you fall for his posturing, than maybe I am sounding like a douche, but I really don't need to read about how cool the creator is. I want to hear about why the creator choose to do the work, not that he had his photo taken by someone that took a photo of Mick Jagger. The THB manifesto segment is interesting, but makes him seem more corporatist than iconoclastic.I guess what i am saying, is save your money. If you are desperate for some Pope, and have all his DC work, track down a THB. It will be way less expensive, and alot more fun. This book has its interesting moments, but is not in the required reading section. ]]> 1624 2009-04-08 22:16:06 2009-04-09 03:16:06 open open april-daily-challenge-day-8 publish 0 0 post 0 podPressPostSpecific _edit_lock _edit_last ljID 546 horsepress@paulpope.com 208.31.142.31 2009-04-13 11:51:49 2009-04-13 16:51:49 1 0 0 751 lookoutforsimon@hotmail.com http://www.lookoutforsimon.blogspot.com 91.115.174.216 2009-04-21 11:40:20 2009-04-21 16:40:20 1 0 0 Comic Studies http://inkstuds.com/?p=1626 Fri, 10 Apr 2009 00:02:59 +0000 http://inkstuds.com/?p=1626 Jeet Heer and Kent Worcester joined me for an extensive conversation about their latest collection, A Comics Studies Reader.

I have been on a bit of an Alex Toth kick lately and buying whatever I can find. He is one of the finest draftsman in the comics world, it's just too bad most of the stories kinda suck. I grabed Darby O'Gill and the Little People off of the daunting to be read stack. I have no recollection of ever seeing the movie, so I can't tell you how faithful it is, but I don't think that really matters. The story is a fun journey into Ireland featuring the story of an old man, and his confrontations with Brian, king of the leprechauns. Toth's art is always great. His characters are always expressive and seam to have a timeless quality that is lost in most silverage cartoonists. Young and developing cartoonists can learn alot from Toth and his techniques. His pages move flawlessly, keep the readers eye transfixed to the going ons. I suggest going out an finding a cheapo comic by Toth, and just look at what he is going. A couple of bonus readings for people interested in learning more about Toth, would include Darwyn Cooke's touching little 8 pager and Dylan Williams' little illustrated essay in Windy Corner 2. ]]> 1631 2009-04-10 22:45:47 2009-04-11 03:45:47 open open april-daily-challenge-day-10 publish 0 0 post 0 podPressPostSpecific _edit_lock _edit_last ljID April Daily Challenge Day 11 http://inkstuds.com/?p=1634 Sun, 12 Apr 2009 14:46:03 +0000 http://inkstuds.com/?p=1634 Aya of Yop City. I had been sitting on this for a while. I wasn't very impressed with the first book. I found it to be a little too precious. The second book of the ongoing Aya series was better. It gives a neat view into small town life in Ivory Coast Africa. The stories of the characters are whimsical and fun. I should also state that the cartooning really is top notch. I think the thing that bugs me about this series, is that it really isn't pushing any new ideas or techniques. It is just a happy go lucky story, and that is fine if that's what you are looking for. Personally, I am a little dumbfounded by just how Drawn and Quarterly gets so excited by this series. I am curious what other people think of the Aya books. ]]> 1634 2009-04-12 09:46:03 2009-04-12 14:46:03 open open april-daily-challenge-day-11 publish 0 0 post 0 podPressPostSpecific _edit_lock _edit_last ljID 549 why@not.com 72.254.184.189 2009-04-13 13:20:00 2009-04-13 18:20:00 1 0 0 April Daily Challenge Day 12 http://inkstuds.com/?p=1636 Mon, 13 Apr 2009 04:37:49 +0000 http://inkstuds.com/?p=1636 Seiichi Hayashi weaves a piece of comics goodness that feels more like poetry than most manga i have seen. The art is beautiful and sparse, except when it needs to make point, and even then, he goes and uses some kind of non-sequitor to make interesting awkward transitions. The interplay of the dialogue is also interesting, in that it is very punchy and disjointed. It doesn't really flow, but works like an off tempo jazz, like some of what Austin English does. ]]> 1636 2009-04-12 23:37:49 2009-04-13 04:37:49 open open april-daily-challenge-day-12 publish 0 0 post 0 podPressPostSpecific _edit_lock _edit_last ljID 553 ms.tryharder@gmail.com http://tryharderyall.blogspot.com 64.236.245.243 2009-04-13 15:53:35 2009-04-13 20:53:35 1 0 0 April Daily Challenge Day 13 http://inkstuds.com/?p=1638 Tue, 14 Apr 2009 03:45:20 +0000 http://inkstuds.com/?p=1638 Mike Dawson, so I read his new book for Adhouse, Ace-Face and his web comic which directly connects to Ace-Face, Jack and Max Escape from the End of Time. I really enjoyed his book, Freddie and Me, even though I have particularly strong dislike for Queen. Ace-Face is Mike's odd take on superheroes. It was neat, because he doesn't fall into the normal traps of alternative artists doing superhero comics. He doesn't make fun of his characters, instead he has fun with them. Ace-Face is born with no arms and his mad scientist uncle, gives him huge robot arms. Luckily, Ace-Face eventually grows into the arms and isn't stuck looking too much like Popeye. Mike's characters are pleasant almost mundane people who get thrust into unreal situations. He really plays with the story telling though and just visits certain parts of the character's lives, leaving alot to the imagination, and I suppose room for more follow up strips. ]]> 1638 2009-04-13 22:45:20 2009-04-14 03:45:20 open open april-daily-challenge-day-13 publish 0 0 post 0 podPressPostSpecific _edit_lock _edit_last ljID Inkstuds Daily Challenge Day 14 http://inkstuds.com/?p=1658 Wed, 15 Apr 2009 05:06:28 +0000 http://inkstuds.com/?p=1658 I  had already read Lauren Weinstein's diary comic and really enjoyed  it, but was told that the rest of work was completely different. And it is. It's great. I got Inside Vineyland of off Last Gasp for dirt cheap. the book is a bit of a mixed bag of different noodly stories that all seem to have some kind of common thread. Lauren seems to have a great take on a kind of odd surreal obsurd lonelyness. The main story in the book, is about a teenage robot. You want to take pitty on this poor little guy that Lauren sticks into these awful comprimising positions that look like he is having some kind of sexual encounter with daily household appliances.  The work is a playful mix throughout that doesn't dumb down just because it's a one page gag. It is interesting to see how she is adapting to different subject matter, and avoiding one standard genre, but still using the same great art style. As a side note, her poster that came with  Ganzfeld 7 was one of the more impressive parts of an otherwise dissapointing package. ]]> 1658 2009-04-15 00:06:28 2009-04-15 05:06:28 open open inkstuds-daily-challenge-day-14 publish 0 0 post 0 podPressPostSpecific _edit_lock _edit_last ljID Jaime Hernandez 09 http://inkstuds.com/?p=1662 Wed, 15 Apr 2009 05:24:50 +0000 http://inkstuds.com/?p=1662 I interviewed Jaime Hernandez at Emerald City Comicon was my highlight of the trip to Seattle.

I shouldn't have to tell you how important Jaime is in the world of alternative comics, but if you haven't read Love and Rockets yet, do yourself a favor and pick up one of those great cheap collections from Fantagraphics. I just want to also mention how nice and gracious he was with fans at the convetion. I saw other artists at the convention that couldn't even be bothered to make eye contact when I was buying stuff off of them, while Jaime would take time with each person.

As a part of Abrams Comic Arts line, you would think this book would have more of a critical appeal. Other books in this line include the Jack Kirby art book, as well the upcoming Harvey Kurtzman and Jaime Hernandez books which both sound amazing. The concept behind Laugh Out Loud Cats is a mix between early 20th century comics using the phrasing of LOL Catz. It basically takes a kind of cute internet concept and makes an ongoing one panel gag strip that seems to never end - Hobo cats saying stupid things in odd situations. Sure it's cute and funny a couple of times, but a whole book, why? Maybe get this book if you want some stupid bathroom reading, but I really hope Abrams avoids doing too many of these things. I guess my main problem is that I am not huge on strip comics and like something like Krazy Kat because of the dynamic art that pushed new barriers and levels. This strip just recycles a bunch of different concepts into one package. ]]> 1797 2009-04-15 21:11:12 2009-04-16 02:11:12 open open april-daily-challenge-day-15 publish 0 0 post 0 podPressPostSpecific _edit_lock _edit_last ljID Mike Dawson http://inkstuds.com/?p=1799 Thu, 16 Apr 2009 05:29:27 +0000 http://inkstuds.com/?p=1799 Mike Dawson joined me for a chat about his latest book, Ace-Face as well as his past work, including the autobio epic, Freddie and Me.

Her latest book, follows her somewhat tumoltuous time through high-school. The really neat thing about her work, is that not alot really happens, it is more of an honest look at growth through an awkward time in ones life. I appreciate that this is a kind of humanizing look, and doesn't focus on standard trappings of coming of age comics. She avoids the mellowdrama of conflicts with boys and instead looks at the relations with friends. I personally identify with Miss and find some kind of communality of experiences, so maybe thats why she speaks so strongly to me. Oh yeah, and the art is pretty darn good too. ]]> 1814 2009-04-27 21:35:07 2009-04-28 02:35:07 open open return-of-the-daily-review publish 0 0 post 0 podPressPostSpecific _edit_lock _edit_last ljID Colin's Inkstuds Comics Review Day #1, "glamourpuss" #6 http://inkstuds.com/?p=1816 Tue, 28 Apr 2009 22:57:27 +0000 http://inkstuds.com/?p=1816 ]]> 1816 2009-04-28 17:57:27 2009-04-28 22:57:27 open open clolins-comics-review-day-31-glamourpuss-6 publish 0 0 post 0 podPressPostSpecific _edit_lock _edit_last ljID 1186 ms.tryharder@gmail.com http://tryharderyall.blogspot.com/ 141.149.42.241 2009-04-30 00:51:46 2009-04-30 05:51:46 1 0 2 Photographer by Emmanuel Guibert http://inkstuds.com/?p=1824 Wed, 29 Apr 2009 05:34:14 +0000 http://inkstuds.com/?p=1824 Guibert's The Photographer is probably topping my list for one of my favorite books of the year so far. Just like his previous release from First Second, Alan's War, Guibert works at going to the heart of his subject and provides us with an incredibly honest portrayal of common figures in the middle of incredible situations. The Photographer follows the story of a close friend and his experience going to Afghanistan to document the work of Medecins Sans Frontieres. The story of Didier Lefevre is enthralling and exciting. He goes through things one could only imagine. The story of his journey through worn torn Afghanistan in 1987 gives a humanist look at a people that are being ravished by continuing violence. The book is a mixture between Guibert's subtle cartooning with Lefevre's photography. It is amazing the amount of photo's that he took during this time. This would be an incredible work, just looking at the photo's but the way the two forms melt together is really strong and appealing. Lefevre is able to capture people in their most private moments without seeming to intrude. Some of my favorite shots, are of the Mujaheddin bringing in armaments into Afghanistan on the backs of donkey's and horse's. It is really interesting to see the source of one of the major international conflicts through an unsensationalized lense.

Arnold http://inkstuds.com/?p=1822 Wed, 29 Apr 2009 05:34:18 +0000 http://inkstuds.com/?p=1822 Trivial is the third book in I Know Joe Kimpel’s 4-Square Books themed anthology series. Like No! and Sorry, Trivial collects the work of four CCS graduates and affiliates, and the proceeds go towards defraying convention costs. This time around the collection featured work by some of my favorite young cartoonists, Alex Kim, Alexis Frederick-Frost and Sean Ford, as well as someone new to me, A.L. Arnold. The first story, by Alex Frederick-Frost is my favorite in Trivial. Using thick brush strokes, Frederick-Frost takes us into the everyday musings of an Arctic explorer. While cursive text further creates an intimate, diary-like feeling for the narration, the action is dreamlike and underscores the sense of isolation the nameless characters face: “We were but tiny black specks, moving slowly and painfully across the white plains, bending our puny strength to the task.” This story also gave the most nuanced interpretation of the theme by showing how one can be drawn to, and take comfort in, trivialities when life is strange and impossible. The next, by Alex Kim, features one of his rumpled young characters, awkwardly explaining his “thing with hands.” This is mostly a dream comic, and is altogether pretty slight in the story department, but I liked that he seemed to be having fun with it. “Bullseye,” by A.L. Arnold, is the story of an old god’s quiet life, that when interrupted by duty, causes him to plunge from the clouds into our mundane and ugly world. I liked the character design of Atmus, (he certainly looked long-suffering enough to be a former god), and how his physicality changed when called to action. Even so, when the action was happening, I didn’t care all that much; without knowing more about Atmus, the ending lacked impact. Overall, “Bullseye” felt too much like a chapter in a longer work to hold my attention. Sean Ford’s two offerings, “Lessons” and “Longing,” feature a young boy, Clay, and a manipulative, lonely ghost. Each is essentially a set up to a nasty-remark punch line by the ghost. Ford’s art and writing gives the few moments we get with the characters added weight: from Clay’s scowl and slumped shoulders in “Lessons” we realize the annoying burden his dead friend can be, from the ghost’s bits of confession in “Longing,” (such as “Clay, I’m incredibly nostalgic for things that I know never happened to me…”), you can surmise, that in life, people probably found it a bit of an asshole. Again, Trivial did its job to showcase I Know Joe Kimpel’s creative talent and I am looking forward to the next installment. (Sorry for the terrible picture. The real thing is much prettier.)]]> 1822 2009-04-29 00:34:18 2009-04-29 05:34:18 open open trivial-edited-by-al-arnold publish 0 0 post 0 podPressPostSpecific _edit_lock _edit_last ljID 1188 lookoutforsimon@hotmail.com http://www.lookoutforsimon.blogspot.com 91.115.171.67 2009-04-30 02:53:05 2009-04-30 07:53:05 1 0 0 2354 http://www.iknowjoekimpel.com/blog/?p=246 72.3.253.24 2009-05-15 10:37:09 2009-05-15 15:37:09 1 pingback 0 0 Colins inkstuds Comics Review Day #2: A Peoples History of American Empire http://inkstuds.com/?p=1831 Wed, 29 Apr 2009 07:32:44 +0000 http://inkstuds.com/?p=1831 1831 2009-04-29 02:32:44 2009-04-29 07:32:44 open open colins-inkstuds-comics-review-a-peoples-history-of-american-empire publish 0 0 post 0 podPressPostSpecific _edit_lock _edit_last ljID Review of Side B Anthology http://inkstuds.com/?p=1835 Thu, 30 Apr 2009 05:52:58 +0000 http://inkstuds.com/?p=1835 Side B at the EmCity comicon and was totally stoked by the stuff inside, so getting it in the mail today was an extra nice surprise. I wasn't expecting to see this for awhile. I am always a sucker for anthologies, especially good themed ones. The book starts out with a nice little illustrated intro by fellow Vancouverite, Brandon Graham, that leaves me very concerned in regards towards having him anywhere near my cat. The book features a great selection of folks like Lucy Knisely, Jeffrey Brown, Box Brown, Liz Baillie and much more. Most of them deliver some fond testaments towards the impact that music has had on particular parts in their lives. Box's story is a nice little piece about how a good Rolling Stones song(you know, from the 60's) helped connects a family after the passing of a loved one. Lucy's story is pretty much a prototypical piece by her. I am a fan of her work, but I am waiting for her to do something that is completely different. But she is still young and miles ahead of most of her peers, so I won't be too hard. My one real annoyance in the book, would have to be Jim Mahfood's story. I can't even read it. its like he has gotten sloppier with time. I am sure it is a fine story, but Mahfood is one of those guys that I just don't get anymore. He is like a one trick pony. Beyond those, there's lots of great new work, that I am more than happy to be exposed to. For me, an anthology is only as strong the weakest work and can be the failing point. This collection is a good collection of some great new work and themes can provide a good outlet for folks to think outside of their usual comfortzone. Except in the case of Jim Mahfood, where this is the topic that is kind of expected from him. ]]> 1835 2009-04-30 00:52:58 2009-04-30 05:52:58 open open review-of-side-b-anthology publish 0 0 post 0 podPressPostSpecific _edit_lock _edit_last ljID 1187 ms.tryharder@gmail.com http://tryharderyall.blogspot.com/ 141.149.42.241 2009-04-30 00:55:42 2009-04-30 05:55:42 1 0 2 Colin's Inkstuds Comics Review Day #3, The Muppet Movie Comic Book http://inkstuds.com/?p=1839 Thu, 30 Apr 2009 07:47:36 +0000 http://inkstuds.com/?p=1839 The Muppet Show Comic Book #2 Art and story by Roger Langridge When the Muppets first appeared on Sesame Street I was too old to be enraptured by them as much as some people I know… a Robin of my acquaintance… no, another Robin… I say this only to point out that while I watched and enjoyed the original Muppet Show (the Spike Milligan episode was amazing) I wasn’t a devoted fan. However, I will pick up anything with Roger Langridge’s name on it. Langridge is top of my list of the great underrated comics artists, his work in Zoot! (along with his brother Andrew), Knuckles the Malevolent Nun and Fred the Clown display not only this Kiwi’s considerable skills as a cartoonist but his wonderfully strange sense of humour. This guy does funny! Which is hard! So, really, getting Roger Langridge to draw and write The Muppet Show Comic Book is an inspired choice, a match made in heaven. Because these are cartoons the faces are even more expressive than the original Muppets but otherwise he captures the goofy spirit of the original show nicely. The only drawback is while Roger Langridge is doing The Muppet Show Comic Book that means he is not doing his own stuff. If you can find it I heartily recommend Fred the Clown, a sad, funny, lyrical and heart warming silent comic. There, two reviews for the price of one.

This one of those important books that paved the way for cheap imitators to use some of the comicking tools that Chaykin unleashed to the comic world. With that in mind, after reading the first American Flagg collection, I think it's great. The book is driven by a hyper ADD feeling of information overload. I find that stories that Chaykin is covering are more revelant today than the 25 years ago the original issues came out. The world of American Flagg has been copied in a countless array of series, and really what was done first, was done best. Chaykin's protaganist, isn't a perfect afable hero, but is just guy in a situation, doing what he has to do. I will have more to say about this book, when I talk to Howard, but really do yourself a favor and pick it up. If you don't want to shell out for the collections, go to your local comic store and pick up issues out of the quarter bin. After reading issue one, you will look at Dark Knight Returns, completely differently. ]]> 1847 2009-04-30 23:33:24 2009-05-01 04:33:24 open open review-of-american-flagg-book-1 publish 0 0 post 0 podPressPostSpecific _edit_lock _edit_last ljID Colin's inkstuds Comics Review Day 4, Scott Pilgrim's Precious Little Life #1 s http://inkstuds.com/?p=1849 Fri, 01 May 2009 08:59:53 +0000 http://inkstuds.com/?p=1849 1849 2009-05-01 03:59:53 2009-05-01 08:59:53 open open colins-inkstuds-comics-review-day-4-scott-pilgrims publish 0 0 post 0 podPressPostSpecific _edit_lock _edit_last ljID Review of Stream of (Un)Consciousness by Brett Warnock http://inkstuds.com/?p=1854 Sat, 02 May 2009 04:54:33 +0000 http://inkstuds.com/?p=1854 Poopsheet had a massive sale recently, with tons of mini's for a buk each. I love mini comics. It is an interesting format for someone to experiment and try something new with. I took advantage of the sale to get a stack of comix that will probably embarrass some interesting talented folks that have gone off to do some really great work. One of those comix was Stream of (Un)Consciousness by Brett Warnock. For those that don't know, Brett is half of Top Shelf Comix. Brett has always said that he got into publishing comics, because he figured he would be a better publisher than cartoonist. This release from 1994 is a little 16 page surreal goody that lives up to the title. The story is a wordless journey of death and rebirth. I am interested by the playful unusualness in comparison to the work published by Top Shelf. His art is very much flowing from the pen, and you can tell that it is very much stream of consciousness. There are some interesting charms of loneliness and a kind of loss of identity that Brett plays with. I really appreciate the spontaneity of the work and wonder what happened to that aesthetic. Alot of the work published by Top Shelf, has a very clear story structure, and I like seeing this deviation. The art has a nice underground feeling to it, and I would be curious to see more stuff to get an understanding of how it has varied, when he had attempted to do a more structured format. If you do see it for the original dollar price tag on it, do your self a favor and check it out. ]]> 1854 2009-05-01 23:54:33 2009-05-02 04:54:33 open open review-of-stream-of-unconsciousness-by-brett-warnock publish 0 0 post 0 podPressPostSpecific _edit_lock _edit_last ljID stallman-1 http://inkstuds.com/?attachment_id=1856 Sat, 02 May 2009 06:48:44 +0000 http://inkstuds.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/05/stallman-1.jpg 1856 2009-05-02 01:48:44 2009-05-02 06:48:44 open open stallman-1 inherit 0 0 attachment 0 http://inkstuds.com/wp-content//2009/05/stallman-1.jpg _wp_attached_file _wp_attachment_metadata stallman-11 http://inkstuds.com/?attachment_id=1857 Sat, 02 May 2009 06:49:08 +0000 http://inkstuds.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/05/stallman-11.jpg 1857 2009-05-02 01:49:08 2009-05-02 06:49:08 open open stallman-11 inherit 0 0 attachment 0 http://inkstuds.com/wp-content//2009/05/stallman-11.jpg _wp_attached_file _wp_attachment_metadata scan http://inkstuds.com/?attachment_id=1859 Sat, 02 May 2009 09:05:01 +0000 http://inkstuds.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/05/scan.jpg 1859 2009-05-02 04:05:01 2009-05-02 09:05:01 open open scan inherit 1860 0 attachment 0 http://inkstuds.com/wp-content//2009/05/scan.jpg _wp_attachment_metadata _wp_attached_file Colin's Inkstuds Comics Review Day 5: Surprise Attack, battle of Shiloh http://inkstuds.com/?p=1860 Sat, 02 May 2009 09:09:20 +0000 http://inkstuds.com/?p=1860 ]]> 1860 2009-05-02 04:09:20 2009-05-02 09:09:20 open open colins-inkstuds-comics-review-day-5-surprise-attack-battle-of-shiloh publish 0 0 post 0 podPressPostSpecific _edit_lock _edit_last ljID 1396 lookoutforsimon@hotmail.com http://www.lookoutforsimon.blogspot.com 91.115.162.99 2009-05-02 14:22:13 2009-05-02 19:22:13 1 0 0 0003e4zh http://inkstuds.com/?attachment_id=1861 Sat, 02 May 2009 14:55:42 +0000 http://inkstuds.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/05/0003e4zh.jpg 1861 2009-05-02 09:55:42 2009-05-02 14:55:42 open open 0003e4zh inherit 1860 0 attachment 0 http://inkstuds.com/wp-content//2009/05/0003e4zh.jpg _wp_attached_file _wp_attachment_metadata Review of Brilliantly Ham-Fisted by Tom Neely http://inkstuds.com/?p=1866 Sun, 03 May 2009 05:01:16 +0000 http://inkstuds.com/?p=1866 Tom Neely's work and was happy to get his little collection,  Brilliantly Ham-Fisted. It's a depressingly charming collection of Tom doing his best try at a four panel strip. I somehow doubt that Tom would ever get a daily syndicated strip, unless people felt like killing themselves when they first read the paper in the morning. The work in this is beautiful and full of an odd type of empty life. Tom can seem to exact onto a desperate need to find an end to a loneliness. It doesn't feel pretentious and full of itself, but instead, the strips are nice poetic contemplation, that slows down the pace nicely. Oh and it doesn't hurt that Tom is a master cartoonist that is really hitting his stride right now. ]]> 1866 2009-05-03 00:01:16 2009-05-03 05:01:16 open open review-of-brilliantly-ham-fisted-by-tom-neely publish 0 0 post 0 podPressPostSpecific _edit_lock _edit_last ljID Colin's Inkstuds Comics Review Day 6, Comic Book Comics Day #6 http://inkstuds.com/?p=1868 Sun, 03 May 2009 07:53:18 +0000 http://inkstuds.com/?p=1868 Comic Book Comics #3 Written by Fred Van Lente, Art By Ryan Dunlavey I love these guys. From the guys that brought you Action Philosophers (which at one point attempted the impossible, tried to make French post-modernist philosophy make sense) comes a series that tells the history of comics using comics! Okay, it sounds obvious but as far as I know no one else has thought of it. In this issue they tackle three great evils that assailed American comics in the post war decades, the comics-cause-juvenile-delinquency/racism/ fascism/illiteracy/homosexuality witch hunt inspired by Dr.Wertham, the demeaning exploitation of comics art by pop artists like Roy Liechtenstein as kitsch and comics fandom… comics fandom? Okay, as a comics elitist myself I look down on fannish types as much as the next comics nerd who was raised on the Comics Journal but even I acknowledge the part comics fandom had in preserving and promoting comics when not even the comics creators cared (I suspect that comics fandom was included in this issue somewhat tongue in cheek.) Did you know that legendary underground cartoonist Robert Crumb got his start in the fan press? That's in here. This is stuff everyone who gives a damn about the comics art form should know about, Van Lente & Dunlavey strike an excellent balance between recounting the facts while entertaining the reader. Comic Book Comics #3 is not approved by the Comics Code Authority, but it is by me.* Okay, that was a little cornball… *Does the Comics Code Authority even exist anymore?

The druggie adventures of those three stoners were essential reading for every discerning slacker and last time I looked you can still buy the latest reprint editions in Haight-Ashbury. Of course, once the flower children had cut their hair and got real jobs, what is an underground cartoonist to do? Well, obviously you move to France (where they appreciate comics) and carry on producing more Freak Brothers comics for the audience that remains. Over the years the comics appeared in colour and the stories became more elaborate as the Freak Brothers went on adventures to rival Carl Bark’s Scrooge McDuck (only with drugs), often in collaboration with cartoonist Paul Mavrides. More recently Shelton has been collaborating with the French cartoonist “Pic” on Not Quite Dead, which despite what you might think isn‘t strictly speaking a Grateful Dead parody. Not Quite Dead are an aging American (even if the backgrounds sometimes looks more like Paris than New York) rock band who’s glory days are long behind them and are now willing to take on just about any gigs doing covers to earn some money. The drug humour has been replaced with jokes about hecklers, bad gigs, onstage accidents and the technical aspects of rock ’n’ roll… Shelton has always had a fascination with technology and Rube Goldberg-like inventions. The comic consists of half to one page gags and several longer stories. The comic is at it’s best on the longer pieces where Shelton (I’m not sure where the division of labour is between Shelton and “Pic”) displays the wicked social satire that he’s been doing since the Wonder Warthog days of the 1960’s. The artwork is big foot cartoony but tight. Like the band, Gilbert Shelton may not be as visible in the American comics scene as he used to be, the copy I have was published by the British outfit Knockabout Comics, but I’m sure he wants you to know that he is also Not Quite Dead.

I mean, really, truly insane. In the underground comix scene of San Francisco his work stood out not only for his primitive, demented child like drawing but his extreme images of sex, violence and drug abuse which out did even Checkered Demon cartoonist S. Clay Wilson. While Wilson was out to shock and amuse, Hayes was tapping into a rich vein of paranoia and insanity that was truly disturbing. Hayes comix began as EC horror influenced tales of terror featuring teddy bears or anthropomorphic saltine crackers as the victims of cannibals and demons. Later his work became more polished and psychedelic but no less extreme. Now, this material isn’t usually my cup of tea to be honest, but Rory Hayes work has the authentic voice of a true outsider artist, a genuine madman in a world full of posers. He is also worth paying attention too because even though he is an obscure artist he was an inspiration to many neo-primitive cartoonists such as Mark Beyer and artists who emerged from the later small press comics scene. His influence can be seen to this day in some unexpected places, like the genteel work of Vancouver art zine publisher Owen Plummer. Hayes’s career was tragically short, his drug abuse (included in this book is his harrowing semi-autobiographical story Popoff Hayes, The Drug Fiend, published posthumously) led to his early death in 1983 at 34 years old. This book collects most of Hayes comix work, there wasn’t a lot, mostly published in various underground anthologies. Where Demented Wented also includes paintings and drawings by Hayes, articles and even a short interview from 1973. It’s an fascinating collection and well presented. Recommended.

Here is the audio results of the panel I was a part of at TCAF. I was joined by my fellow nerds, Robert Dayton, Frank Santoro, Dash Shaw and Dustin Harbin for a discussion on mainstream comics and the influence that they have had on alternative comics. It's not the most focused panel, but we had fun and got some good discussions going with the audience. The idea that Frank and I had going into this, is to look at comics in the context of a literary tradition and to create an understanding of how comics of a continuum of influences. I guess my big thing right now, is that in some way's there can be a revisionist look at influences, that seems to recognize work that may be more appealing now, or cool, but does not hold the same power that something less modern and currently aesthetically popular would. It starts out about a minute into it, with Frank Santoro well into a rant about his love of Jack Kirby. Some of the audio from the audience is hard to hear, I tried to make it as loud in parts as I could, but somethings are impossible. I have added some images below, and will add more later, that reflect the panel.

http://inkstuds.com/?p=2052 Peter Kuper is a bit of highlight to have on the show. He has been involved in making comics in different capacities over the last nearly 40 years, at a super young age. His work has ranged from the very political World War 3 Illustrated that he does with good friend Seth Tobocman, to autobio works like New York, New York, and Stop Forgetting to Remember as well as his new collection about his time in Oaxaca, Mexico and other stuff like Spy vs Spy and his adaptations of works by Kafka and Upton Sinclair.

Chapter one introduces us to Maine high school seniors Ivy and her friends Marisa and Brad. Ivy is filled with teen rage and has artistic talent to burn. Like most kids her age she can’t modulate her feelings—when a teacher gets on her nerves, she calls her a Nazi, when her friends are casually talking trash about a classmate, Ivy pipes in with “I hate her! It looks like her face caught fire and somebody put it out with a pickaxe!” [gallery] Ivy’s attitude increases her isolation and feelings of persecution as the stress of senior years wears on. Despite her talent and encouragement from her school, Ivy’s mom wants her to skip art school for a practical degree like business, causing resentment and breeding secrets. Her friends begin leaving her out of their once-shared world as Ivy becomes more focused on why everything sucks. The guy she likes at school has a nasty girlfriend. So when a chance encounter with a boy at a Boston art fair provides a release from both horniness and her daily life, she throws herself into it. The plot doesn’t hinge on any one of these details, but slowly draws the reader into Ivy’s world—even a reader who wouldn’t go back to high school for anything. A large part of why all of this works is Oleksyk’s amazing art. Her beautiful, fluid black lines capture movement and static details (like Ivy’s sketchbook drawings or footprints in the snow) equally well. Unlike her main character, the author doesn’t need more figure work—her anatomy is perfect and effortless-looking, giving each character a unique and memorable physiognomy. Though set in the present day, IVY feels a lot like a loving tribute to 90s teenagerhood, what with all the letter writing and lack of ipods, but IVY is no curdled nostalgia trip. Oleksyk has mastered depicting the throb of adolescence without resorting to exploitating the sexy bits or pandering to shared memories of songs or TV shows. She manages to mix empathy with her young character with an adult, critical sensibility to create an incredibly vivid and real portrayal of Ivy and her world. Frankly, it’s a relief to read something about a teenage girl, especially having been a pretty wild and angsty teenage girl myself, that doesn’t bore or offend me. Chapter three ends with a fight, a flight and a miserable bus ride. In other words, a cliffhanger that’s had me panting for the next installment since I closed the cover. Now that number four is out, it is at the top of my must-buy list. For more with Sarah, listen to Robin’s interview and then head over to tryharder and read mine.]]> 2054 2009-06-01 09:19:17 2009-06-01 14:19:17 open open ivy-issues-1-3-by-sarah-oleksyk publish 0 0 post 0 podPressPostSpecific _edit_lock _edit_last ljID 3673 lookoutforsimon@hotmail.com http://www.lookoutforsimon.blogspot.com 91.113.83.4 2009-06-02 07:05:43 2009-06-02 12:05:43 1 0 0 Smell of Steve http://inkstuds.com/?p=2062 Thu, 04 Jun 2009 04:40:48 +0000 http://inkstuds.com/?p=2062 Brian Sendelbach joined me to discuss his treasury collection Planet of Beer.

    Papercutter 9, edited by Greg Means http://inkstuds.com/?p=2067 Tue, 09 Jun 2009 20:00:15 +0000 http://inkstuds.com/?p=2067 With gorgeous covers by Aron Nels Steinke and Hellen Jo, Papercutter 9 sets the bar high in the lookin’-good department. The standard is upheld with Nate Beatty’s interior cover urban scenes and the work by the aforementioned artists and other contributor Elijah Brubaker. Steinke’s story, “He Lives in Our Basement I am Sure of It, is a long auto-bio piece covering one dream, one house, one phone call and a ghost. As always, Steinke’s art is cute and detailed, and his thick black and white lines create a comfortable atmosphere, even when the characters are freaking out. He makes good use of multiple panel sizes to frame his meandering story, but in the end, the story was a bit too long and aimless. Most disappointingly, the ghost, who is such a strong and intriguing figure in the cover image, is relegated to a bit character in Steinke’s house-stalking neuroses. Elijah Brubaker’s one-page Hubert and Ray story further develops the two misbegotten characters as they wander around town and talk about god. “I had a pet duck named Frito.” “Oh yeah, what happened to him?” “Dog.” “Diamond Heights: A True Story” by Hellen Jo, features a pair of drunken, foul-mouthed kids wandering around what looks like a deserted California suburb on an, I assume, stolen school day. When, at the top of a street they need to cross, shoeless and giggling twins appear, the girl is strangely affected. I love how easily Jo communicates the kids’ attitude and how it changes when the ghostly girls appear. The black skies and trees, intricate, vegetal backgrounds and cool camera angles add to the cinematically creepy feel. All the action may have only taken a few minutes, but Jo stretches it out and makes it tense and effective. While this was not my favorite issue of Papercutter, I think Hellen Jo’s work makes it worth a read. I got the newest issue at MoCCA this weekend and I’ll have a review of that soon.]]> 2067 2009-06-09 15:00:15 2009-06-09 20:00:15 open open papercutter-9-edited-by-greg-means publish 0 0 post 0 ljID podPressPostSpecific _edit_lock _edit_last ljxp_comments ljxp_privacy 4149 lookoutforsimon@hotmail.com http://www.lookoutforsimon.blogspot.com 88.117.6.176 2009-06-10 13:28:12 2009-06-10 18:28:12 1 0 0 papercutter9 http://inkstuds.com/?attachment_id=2068 Tue, 09 Jun 2009 21:45:47 +0000 http://inkstuds.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/06/papercutter9.jpg 2068 2009-06-09 16:45:47 2009-06-09 21:45:47 open open papercutter9 inherit 2067 0 attachment 0 http://inkstuds.com/wp-content//2009/06/papercutter9.jpg _wp_attached_file _wp_attachment_metadata papercutter9 http://inkstuds.com/?attachment_id=2070 Tue, 09 Jun 2009 21:47:55 +0000 http://inkstuds.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/06/papercutter91.jpg 2070 2009-06-09 16:47:55 2009-06-09 21:47:55 open open papercutter91 inherit 2067 0 attachment 0 http://inkstuds.com/wp-content//2009/06/papercutter91.jpg _wp_attached_file _wp_attachment_metadata runx-tales-1 http://inkstuds.com/?attachment_id=2082 Wed, 10 Jun 2009 04:14:09 +0000 http://inkstuds.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/06/runx-tales-1.jpg 2082 2009-06-09 23:14:09 2009-06-10 04:14:09 open open runx-tales-1 inherit 2081 0 attachment 0 http://inkstuds.com/wp-content//2009/06/runx-tales-1.jpg _wp_attached_file _wp_attachment_metadata Runx Tales #1 by Matt Runkle http://inkstuds.com/?p=2081 Thu, 11 Jun 2009 15:00:52 +0000 http://inkstuds.com/?p=2081 This 22 page B&W short story comic takes me back to my Xeroxed zine-reading days. Runx Tales chronicles the escapades of a West Coast, queer punk guy with a penchant for problematic men and marginal employment. Inside you will learn why weddings are always gay affairs, how to ditch your dreads and stank rags and become a “crust-puff,” and the sinister intentions of Portland, OR wildlife. My favorite pieces are “Cour d’Alene” and “That’s Why I Am So Obsessed.” The former tells the tale of a road trip Runx took with his “Butch lesbian protectress” to a small, hellish town in Northern Idaho to visit his grandmother. Their adventure is marred by a dash of homophobic harassment, but they end up drowning their sorrows in a special place called the Powderhouse Saloon. There is a part two, and I found myself wondering what happens next. The latter is an illustrated list of men that Runx became enamored with including a straight librarian in a bee suit and a velvet-wearing mansion-dweller. While you might not like Runkle’s childlike art style, I think the handwriting and messy pages compliment his sense of humor and fun, frank storytelling.]]> 2081 2009-06-11 10:00:52 2009-06-11 15:00:52 open open runx-tales-1-by-matt-runkle publish 0 0 post 0 _edit_lock _edit_last podPressPostSpecific ljxp_comments ljxp_privacy ljID 4271 lookoutforsimon@hotmail.com http://www.lookoutforsimon.blogspot.com 88.117.84.219 2009-06-12 15:54:52 2009-06-12 20:54:52 1 0 0 Carol Tyler http://inkstuds.com/?p=2086 Thu, 11 Jun 2009 23:57:50 +0000 http://inkstuds.com/?p=2086 Carol Tyler's books You'll Never Know, Late Bloomer and The Job Thing, cover a very interesting and unique life.

I really enjoyed this book. It's the kind of autobio comic I enjoy, personal, friendly and does not take it self too seriously. The art is a nice simplistic style, that at times, is reminiscent of John Porcellino. The story itself, is an engaging journey following Melaina through a series of disastrous dates. The story makes me feel a little old at times, as I forget how painful the awkwardness of attempted courtship could be. I am kind of surprised by the long list of mini comics that she has listed in the back of Dater's Dozen, but this is the first thing that I have seen by her. I know that she is friends with MariNaomi, and you can see that carry over into this work in the type of story that she is telling. It's not a direct type of related cartooning, but more like a similar grouping(do I make sense here). In the world of reading autobio comics by dudes, writing about their relationship mishaps, it's nice to see it from the other side.]]> 2090 2009-06-12 01:30:10 2009-06-12 06:30:10 open open daters-dozen-by-melaina publish 0 0 post 0 podPressPostSpecific _edit_lock _edit_last ljxp_comments ljxp_privacy ljID 5241 http://www.artpatient.com/2009/06/26/strip-news-6-25-9/ 72.167.131.1 2009-06-26 08:04:20 2009-06-26 13:04:20 1 pingback 0 0 Who are you? http://inkstuds.com/?p=2096 Fri, 12 Jun 2009 06:54:11 +0000 http://inkstuds.com/?p=2096 Hey Inkstudents.

Or take a look at some of my other recent efforts at my infrequently updated blog or my Flickr page (mostly figure drawings). As for comics I'm currently reading I picked up a few cool books at TCAF a few weeks back including Tomine's "Optic Nerve" Boxed set and Seth's "George Sprott". Also discovered some great minis like "Eyes Move Rapid" there. Also, just finished Tatsumi's "A Drifting Life" and loved it. I'm really looking forward to Mazzuchelli's "Asterios Polyp" since I've been amazed by the few short works of his I've seen. What else...reread a couple of Jason's books last night...his "You Can't Get There From Here" about a love-triangle between, Frankenstein, his Bride and the Mad Scientist who created them is great fun. There's always something to be pulled off the shelf! Thanks so much for your dedication to the show. Keep Up the great work! -Tim]]> 1 0 0 4273 lookoutforsimon@hotmail.com http://www.lookoutforsimon.blogspot.com 88.117.84.219 2009-06-12 16:14:27 2009-06-12 21:14:27 1 0 0 4274 lookoutforsimon@hotmail.com http://www.lookoutforsimon.blogspot.com 88.117.84.219 2009-06-12 16:15:38 2009-06-12 21:15:38 1 0 0 4278 inkstudsradio@gmail.com http:// 24.83.37.141 2009-06-12 17:41:17 2009-06-12 22:41:17 1 4273 1 4280 jetgrindjake@hotmail.com http://j-punch.respark.net 130.63.18.201 2009-06-12 18:33:50 2009-06-12 23:33:50 1 0 0 4281 inkstudsradio@gmail.com http:// 24.83.37.141 2009-06-12 18:45:38 2009-06-12 23:45:38 1 4280 1 4283 myopicmalcontent@hotmail.com http://donaldelay.blogspot.com 24.164.20.170 2009-06-12 19:34:57 2009-06-13 00:34:57 1 0 0 4289 brandonSoderberg@gmail.com http://comicsforserious.blogspot.com 76.182.122.104 2009-06-12 22:43:40 2009-06-13 03:43:40 1 0 0 4345 andrew.macdonald@lib.monash.edu.au 130.194.224.181 2009-06-14 23:43:17 2009-06-15 04:43:17 1 0 0 4347 War12zone@aol.com http://www.samgascan.blogspot.com 97.95.190.64 2009-06-15 00:56:32 2009-06-15 05:56:32 1 0 0 4348 sdorazi@g.risd.edu 24.195.252.202 2009-06-15 01:43:03 2009-06-15 06:43:03 1 0 0 4349 sdorazi@g.risd.edu 24.195.252.202 2009-06-15 01:43:51 2009-06-15 06:43:51 1 0 0 4394 inkstudsradio@gmail.com http:// 154.20.165.41 2009-06-16 00:32:29 2009-06-16 05:32:29 1 4347 1 4395 gerryalanguilan@yahoo.com http://gerry.alanguilan.com 58.69.53.187 2009-06-16 01:35:15 2009-06-16 06:35:15 1 0 0 4409 guzumo@gmail.com http://guzumocomics.com 61.68.164.144 2009-06-16 08:00:02 2009-06-16 13:00:02 1 0 0 4417 danielulocke@hotmail.com http://daniellocke.blogspot.com 86.148.176.122 2009-06-16 14:21:41 2009-06-16 19:21:41 1 0 0 4419 ms.tryharder@gmail.com http://tryharderyall.blogspot.com 64.236.245.243 2009-06-16 14:27:26 2009-06-16 19:27:26 1 0 0 4422 inkstudsradio@gmail.com http:// 24.84.217.136 2009-06-16 16:25:51 2009-06-16 21:25:51 1 4419 1 4544 phil@rynda.com http://philrynda.blogspot.com 157.166.183.10 2009-06-18 15:16:30 2009-06-18 20:16:30 "Haunted" by Phillipe Dupuy and Rebecca Sugar's new version of (a href="http://www.sugarboukas.com/PUG/wPD104">"MindF*ck".]]> 1 0 0 4732 derivativecomics@gmail.com http://derivativecomics.com 216.46.141.18 2009-06-20 16:27:37 2009-06-20 21:27:37 1 0 0 4742 inkstudsradio@gmail.com http:// 24.84.217.136 2009-06-20 19:20:06 2009-06-21 00:20:06 1 4732 1 4844 joewilly@redflagpublishing.com http://redflagcomics.blogspot.com/ 208.31.142.31 2009-06-22 10:38:05 2009-06-22 15:38:05 1 0 0 4846 riceboyart@gmail.com http://www.rice-boy.com 66.20.173.7 2009-06-22 11:22:47 2009-06-22 16:22:47 1 0 0 5217 drewr@sage.edu http://www.randalldrew.com 71.235.189.250 2009-06-25 21:30:21 2009-06-26 02:30:21 1 0 0 5218 inkstudsradio@gmail.com http:// 24.83.37.141 2009-06-25 22:12:29 2009-06-26 03:12:29 1 5217 1 5254 psychicbologna@gmail.com http://afukuidrawing.blogspot.com 65.103.3.39 2009-06-26 14:44:37 2009-06-26 19:44:37 1 0 0 5286 inkstudsradio@gmail.com http:// 24.83.37.141 2009-06-27 00:39:48 2009-06-27 05:39:48 1 5254 1 5514 theartist@baskervilleoldface.com http://www.baskervilleoldface.com 81.154.93.86 2009-06-29 16:26:10 2009-06-29 21:26:10 1 0 0 11980 danenitram@gmail.com http://danemartin.blogspot.com 71.169.155.199 2009-08-20 04:16:29 2009-08-20 09:16:29 1 0 0 krazzee2 http://inkstuds.com/?attachment_id=2101 Tue, 16 Jun 2009 21:41:09 +0000 http://inkstuds.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/06/krazzee2.jpg 2101 2009-06-16 16:41:09 2009-06-16 21:41:09 open open krazzee2 inherit 2100 0 attachment 0 http://inkstuds.com/wp-content//2009/06/krazzee2.jpg _wp_attached_file _wp_attachment_metadata Comics as a Form of Media http://inkstuds.com/?p=2100 Tue, 16 Jun 2009 21:55:07 +0000 http://inkstuds.com/?p=2100 This weeks Inkstuds is a little different. I put together an audio documentary as a project for school on the history of media. As you can no doubt guess, my interest is in comics and I try to do as many of my papers as possible on some kind of topic that has to do with comics.  This project is an audio documentary that looks at comics as a form of media in itself. I was lucky to get some really great guests that allowed me to subject them to my somewhat pedestrian questions. Where do the roots of comics stand in regards to other forms of media? How do comics work? What were the strengths of early comics/weaknesses? Was there a central use for comics? How did that change with time? How do modern comics compare with early examples? Is it a continuation? When looking at the Mohamed comics controversy, is that an isolated incident, or does it hold a place in the greater scope of the medium? Where does Werthams studies on juvenile delinquency belong in the development of the medium? I will be posting the full interviews over the coming week, at a rate of one a day. The guests featured in this documentary include: Jeet Heer - Co-Editor of A Comic Studies Reader, as well as countless articles about comics and introductions to collections like Krazy Kat and Walt and Skeezix. Tom Spurgeon - His blog, www.comicsreporter.com is a resource that is respected across the comics industry for Tom’s journalistic integrity and in-depth coverage.

    Matt Madden - Co-Author of Drawing Words and Writing Pictures and teaches cartooning at the School of Visual Arts in NYC.

    Eddie Campbell - Cartoonist behind works like Alec, Bacchus, From Hell, Fate of the Artist and much more.

    Scott McCloud - Author of Understanding Comics, Reinventing Comics and Making Comics.

It has all the markings of a good indie anthology, a simple theme that is easy to follow, and strong creators that were chosen for the project. The concept is pretty simple, a cartoonists from Portland and San Francisco collaborate on stories. The nice thing about it, is that while some stories are about the cities the creators live in, they avoid the easy trappings of all being autobio stries of being cartoonists in cool communities(although that is the case with a couple of the stories, it's ok, because it's not the majority). Some of the favs in the book, include a nice balance piece by superstars Rina Ayuyang and Erika Moen. It highlights some of the wonders and joys of their own home towns, with the collaboration seem to be based on shared ideas but they still work independtly to their own strengths. Scott Campbell and Graham Annable team up for completely insane sea chantey that can only come from their combined minds. David Chelsea works solo for story of one mans differences and experiences between the two cities. Overall, I am pretty happy with this book, I think people should take note of work that has gone into this book and see what goes into making a quality indy anthology.]]> 2124 2009-06-29 02:26:59 2009-06-29 07:26:59 open open the-bridge-project-review-by-robin publish 0 0 post 0 podPressPostSpecific _edit_lock _edit_last ljxp_comments ljxp_privacy ljID 5647 ms.tryharder@gmail.com http://tryharderyall.blogspot.com 64.236.245.243 2009-07-01 11:28:26 2009-07-01 16:28:26 1 0 0 5657 inkstudsradio@gmail.com http:// 24.84.217.136 2009-07-01 15:07:48 2009-07-01 20:07:48 1 5647 1 menstruation-station http://inkstuds.com/?attachment_id=2128 Wed, 01 Jul 2009 00:58:18 +0000 http://inkstuds.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/06/menstruation-station.jpg 2128 2009-06-30 19:58:18 2009-07-01 00:58:18 open open menstruation-station inherit 2127 0 attachment 0 http://inkstuds.com/wp-content//2009/06/menstruation-station.jpg _wp_attached_file _wp_attachment_metadata Menstruation Station: Menarche Aboard! by Jen Vaughn http://inkstuds.com/?p=2127 Wed, 01 Jul 2009 00:58:49 +0000 http://inkstuds.com/?p=2127 How could I resist? Though I didn’t get my copy at a convention, and therefore missed out on the free tampon, there was no way I would miss a book with such bloody themes. Jen Vaughn is a MFA student at CCS. Her focus in Menstruation Station is less coming-of-age wah wahs and more fantasies inspired by blood and blood production. “Safety Net” is a circus love story gone down the drain and the inside of a vagina, “VIP Seats” is about sacrifices people make for the rock and roll lifestyle, and “Charms” is a funny, Buffy-style take on teenage witchery. “So Now You Are a Woman” is the only take on menarche proper, and instead of being smug and reassuring like most stories about that first bloody day, it’s a negative (and very true) rendering of the experience. The four short stories and assorted extras in the mini show her facility depicting motion and the emotions of the characters through facial expression. The inky brushwork in concert with light, deft lines, add a lushness to some of her subjects (hair, shadows, blood fountains) and move your eye around each panel. Perhaps I’m a bit old-fashioned, but my reading experience would have been a bit better if each story had a title panel, or some other way of signaling the start of a new story. Because Vaughn’s character design is so good, I wanted the stories to be longer and fuller. I am looking forward to the next installment.]]> 2127 2009-06-30 19:58:49 2009-07-01 00:58:49 open open menstruation-station-menarche-aboard-by-jen-vaughn publish 0 0 post 0 podPressPostSpecific _edit_lock _edit_last ljxp_comments ljxp_privacy ljID 5629 lookoutforsimon@hotmail.com http://www.lookoutforsimon.blogspot.com 91.113.89.19 2009-07-01 04:56:10 2009-07-01 09:56:10 1 0 0 5630 lookoutforsimon@hotmail.com http://www.lookoutforsimon.blogspot.com 91.113.89.19 2009-07-01 05:06:29 2009-07-01 10:06:29 1 0 0 5646 ms.tryharder@gmail.com http://tryharderyall.blogspot.com 64.236.245.243 2009-07-01 11:26:53 2009-07-01 16:26:53 1 0 0 5786 drewr@sage.edu http://www.randalldrew.com 71.235.189.250 2009-07-03 15:49:41 2009-07-03 20:49:41 1 0 0 5972 inkyjen@gmail.com http://thevaughncurse.com 209.198.116.53 2009-07-08 17:26:31 2009-07-08 22:26:31 1 0 0 6314 sean.p.ford@gmail.com http://www.onlyskincomix.com 206.34.120.2 2009-07-14 13:35:22 2009-07-14 18:35:22 1 0 0 Jordan Crane http://inkstuds.com/?p=2131 Wed, 01 Jul 2009 18:51:13 +0000 http://inkstuds.com/?p=2131 Jordan Crane's Uptight is one the last regular comics coming out nowadays.

    Second Thoughts by Niklas Asker http://inkstuds.com/?p=2133 Mon, 06 Jul 2009 03:15:53 +0000 http://inkstuds.com/?p=2133 I really enjoyed Second Thoughts by Niklas Asker on an initial level. It's quirky smart story of misguided love. Asker sets up a great story in a style similar to state side cartoonists, Nate Powell and Farel Dalrymple. He really plays with the black and white work bring the characters down to a basic level. Asker leave allot to the readers imagination to put together parts of the story in their own heads. it's something I really enjoy in a cartoonist. It is a similar flavour in vagueness to someone like Gipi or Simon Roy, but using a completely different genre. The main fallback is that it is too short. I am curious to see what he can come up with when dealing with a longer story and has more space to play with.]]> 2133 2009-07-05 22:15:53 2009-07-06 03:15:53 open open second-thoughts-by-niklas-asker publish 0 0 post 0 podPressPostSpecific _edit_lock _edit_last ljxp_comments ljxp_privacy ljID jin-and-jam-1 http://inkstuds.com/?attachment_id=2136 Mon, 06 Jul 2009 05:38:41 +0000 http://inkstuds.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/07/jin-and-jam-1.jpg 2136 2009-07-06 00:38:41 2009-07-06 05:38:41 open open jin-and-jam-1 inherit 2135 0 attachment 0 http://inkstuds.com/wp-content//2009/07/jin-and-jam-1.jpg _wp_attached_file _wp_attachment_metadata Jin & Jam 1 by Hellen Jo http://inkstuds.com/?p=2135 Mon, 06 Jul 2009 05:40:26 +0000 http://inkstuds.com/?p=2135 Hellen Jo’s world is kind of like that except everybody is thirteen years old and Asian.
    jin-and-jam-1
    We are introduced to Jam and Hank, two greasy, smoking, kids fucking around outside of a church somewhere in Californialand. When out of the church comes Jin, bored of rabid sermons on sin, long hair flowing and a disapproving remark on her lips, a strange alliance is born between her and Jam. Add Ting and Terng, foul-mouthed conjoined twins with an appetite for fighting, a potato chip beef at the bus stop and the healing power of rock n roll, and you’ve got the first issue of a kick ass fight comic all rolled up. The story may be slight in this first issue, but the characters are so fully formed that they’re practically heaving with back story. Occasional non-instigatory dialogue bits hint at the kids’ larger worldviews in an effective way that doesn’t break the action: “Why would they build a playground across from a bar?” “…So all the kids in town know where they’re going to end up.” However, all that would be nothing without Jo’s beautiful, intricate, black and white art. Her delicate lines sketch her coarse characters perfectly. There are visual cues to the character’s secrets everywhere, like when Jin meets Jam for the first time, and Jam’s mischievous face is framed by wild and beautiful fish that seem to cloud Jin’s internal controls, signaling confusion ahead. The panels explode with the surreality of teenagedom, where every sound, smell and moment is amplified to an excruciating degree. Jo creatively uses traditional panel structure to animate the fight scenes, using the rigidity to somehow highlight the physicality of her characters in action. I fell for Jin & Jam after the second reading. Now that I’m hooked I can only hope the next issues deliver more story with the biff bang pow.]]>

What manner of comic goodness (or badness) would be inside? And that’s why, though Prologue, a one-page comic in booklet form that unfolds as the plot does, is available online in its entirety, I suggest getting a paper copy, so that you too can find out what comes in small packages. Prologue’s story concerns a shy guy at a party. With each unfolding of the comic, a new thought or event occurs in what proves to be a “too good to be true” night for him. Although the whole awkward-guy-finally-meets-adored-girl set up is overused in short story alternative comics, but I wanted to see where Kenan was going to take it and in the end I wasn’t disappointed. prologue-opened By getting creative with grays, Kenan sets the rollicking party scene and night streetscapes apart from the romantic drama happening in them. His main characters are in richly shadowed black and white, also highlighting the intense quality of their interaction. Prologue is a good example of form dictating narrative flow. I’d like to see more of these Oubliettes (French for secret dungeons) and how Kenan continues to work with the folded form.]]> 2142 2009-07-07 08:30:03 2009-07-07 13:30:03 open open prologue-by-kenan-rubenstein publish 0 0 post 0 podPressPostSpecific _edit_lock _edit_last ljxp_comments ljxp_privacy ljID 5913 lookoutforsimon@hotmail.com http://www.lookoutforsimon.blogspot.com 91.115.162.127 2009-07-07 10:58:53 2009-07-07 15:58:53 1 0 0 5917 ms.tryharder@gmail.com http://tryharderyall.blogspot.com 64.236.245.243 2009-07-07 13:11:02 2009-07-07 18:11:02 1 0 0 5924 zanegrant@gmail.com http://zanegrant.org 64.131.212.85 2009-07-07 15:52:20 2009-07-07 20:52:20 1 0 0 5961 kenan@boyblueproductions.com http://www.boyblueproductions.com/news 208.120.255.217 2009-07-08 12:07:29 2009-07-08 17:07:29 1 0 0 13811 http://www.underthehaystack.net/?p=1370 66.147.242.179 2009-08-30 08:57:54 2009-08-30 13:57:54 1 pingback 0 0 Lauren Weinstein http://inkstuds.com/?p=2149 Wed, 08 Jul 2009 05:36:10 +0000 http://inkstuds.com/?p=2149 It's been awhile since I laughed this hard in an interview.

Knowing me as well as he does, Bougie creator a wonderfully awkward image of a bird type person as my stand in for radio show hosting. I have the nick-name Dirtybird that was given to me when I used to play hockey with some friends and was known for not being particularly good, but scrappy as all hell. So that's how we get the Inkstuds Dirtybird. My extremely self-indulgent habit of late, has been to commission  cartoonists to do their versions. I am really happy with what I have been getting in the mail. You may have already seen the Joseph Bergin III image that I posted a couple of weeks ago. Today, I got another amazing piece. Many thanks to Paul Hornschemeier for lower his standards and taking my filthy money and turning out something truly terrible and wonderful. I was going to save this for my upcoming major good news, but I couldn't wait. bird]]> 2156 2009-07-10 01:54:43 2009-07-10 06:54:43 open open inkstuds-dirtybird publish 0 0 post 0 podPressPostSpecific _edit_lock _edit_last ljxp_comments ljxp_privacy ljID 6067 http://realurl.org/twitted.php?id=2564648735 94.23.51.159 2009-07-10 02:07:14 2009-07-10 07:07:14 1 pingback 0 0 6085 lookoutforsimon@hotmail.com http://www.lookoutforsimon.blogspot.com 91.113.82.24 2009-07-10 10:04:48 2009-07-10 15:04:48 1 0 0 6255 ms.tryharder@gmail.com http://tryharderyall.blogspot.com 64.236.245.243 2009-07-13 14:48:07 2009-07-13 19:48:07 1 0 0 6260 inkstudsradio@gmail.com http:// 24.84.217.136 2009-07-13 16:36:25 2009-07-13 21:36:25 1 6255 1 New Question http://inkstuds.com/?p=2161 Tue, 14 Jul 2009 09:02:44 +0000 http://inkstuds.com/?p=2161 What would you think of a cartoonist mixtape as an addition to the inkstuds podcasts? ]]> 2161 2009-07-14 04:02:44 2009-07-14 09:02:44 open open new-question publish 0 0 post 0 podPressPostSpecific _edit_lock _edit_last ljxp_comments ljxp_privacy ljID 6327 derivativecomics@gmail.com http://kirbykritik.blogspot.com/ 216.46.141.14 2009-07-14 20:27:17 2009-07-15 01:27:17 1 0 0 6298 awcomix@gmail.com 203.219.63.248 2009-07-14 08:30:16 2009-07-14 13:30:16 1 0 0 6309 lookoutforsimon@hotmail.com http://www.drawingneeds.blogspot.com 91.115.169.39 2009-07-14 10:58:57 2009-07-14 15:58:57 1 0 0 6316 myopicmalcontent@hotmail.com http://donaldelay.blogspot.com 24.164.20.170 2009-07-14 15:23:19 2009-07-14 20:23:19 1 0 0 6375 darryltoon@googlemail.com http://darryl-cunningham.blogspot.com/ 90.203.53.144 2009-07-15 09:53:30 2009-07-15 14:53:30 1 0 0 6398 negative8ball@yahoo.com http://www.industri-studios.com 173.32.84.71 2009-07-15 17:33:16 2009-07-15 22:33:16 1 0 0 Derek Kirk Kim and Gene Yang http://inkstuds.com/?p=2163 Thu, 16 Jul 2009 23:29:56 +0000 http://inkstuds.com/?p=2163 Gene Yang and Derek Kirk Kim dropped by the Inkstuds to chat about their new book, The Eternal Smile and take part in hurling a couple of kind insults at each other.

Well, I decided to give it a  shot. There will be no regular schedule to it, they will just appear out of nowhere. For the first mix, I thought we should start out with a bang. Trevor Alixopulos does his own radioshow as well as great comics, so he seems to be a perfect mix for what we are trying to do here. Here is his playlist - 01 Kelly- Van She 02 Cowboy Song - Thin Lizzy 03 Ask the DJ - Mr. Hudson & the Library 04 Millionaire - Kelis 05 My Old Jams Still Slam - Shakespeare and Last Empire 06 September Song - Walter Huston 07 I Wish I Was a Mole in the Ground - Bascam Lamar Lunceford 08 2 Hearts (twelves remix) - Kylei Minogue 09 Fly By NIght - The Glamour 10 Nowhere Girl - B Movie 11 This Modern Love - Bloc Party 12 Rational Behavior - Mount Sims 13 50-50 - Sad Lovers & Giants Trevor added this comment, "Hey, musical people can catch my radio show this sunday night, 11pm-1am Pacific Time, streaming live on http://www.krcb.org ".]]> 2169 2009-07-21 16:06:11 2009-07-21 21:06:11 open open inkstuds-mixtape-vol-1-trevor-alixopulos publish 0 0 post 0 podPressPostSpecific _edit_lock _edit_last ljxp_comments ljxp_privacy podPressMedia Warning: require_once(/home/inkstuds/public_html//wp-content/plugins/podpress/getid3/getid3.php) [function.require-once]: failed to open stream: No such file or directory in /home/inkstuds/public_html/wp-content/plugins/podpress/podpress_functions.php on line 1177

So, when I plucked this mini from the stack of Corinne Mucha’s work that I bought at MoCCA earlier this summer, I was prepared to be a bit let down. And though the comic begins with Mucha’s comic-stand-in changing her Facebook relationship status to single in an angry flourish, the stories that follow do more than document the (essentially boring) trappings of one lady’s heartbreak. In her mostly one-page stories, Mucha takes a loosely chronological approach to the questions raised by becoming single. In “All By Myself,” after entertaining the non-no thought of dying alone, she considers the merits of being a cat lady vs. being a book lady and decides that living alone with books seems mostly harmless and besides, “maybe by then, [she]’ll have robots.” In “The Connotations of Single,” an informative infographic, she lists single things that by what people think of them, including, in the indifferent category, a single scoop of ice cream, which is rated “deceiving” because there is usually another scoop hiding down in the cone. Her writing is quite jokey, but doesn’t go where you may expect. It’s hard to be funny about such a played out subject, but Mucha’s enviable comic timing underpins each set-up. All of this rumination works because of Mucha’s expressive art and lettering. Perfect gestures and googly eyes animate her deceptively simple figures. Her broken hearts, mini record players and cow socks are drawn in a cute but somehow edgy style that fits well with Mucha’s wry take on her experience.]]> 2203 2009-08-03 22:38:04 2009-08-04 03:38:04 open open my-every-single-thought-by-corinne-mucha publish 0 0 post 0 podPressPostSpecific _edit_lock _edit_last ljxp_comments ljxp_privacy ljID 8779 brian.elig@gmail.com http://www.brianelig.com 72.225.217.239 2009-08-04 02:49:56 2009-08-04 07:49:56 1 0 0 Michael Kupperman http://inkstuds.com/?p=2224 Thu, 06 Aug 2009 23:14:05 +0000 http://inkstuds.com/?p=2224 Michael Kupperman stopped by the Inkstuds to discuss all things Kuppermany.

ISL opens with a four-page, moodily illustrated quote from Ascha Sprague, the titular spiritualist that Murphy discovers while researching local Vermont history. In fact, much of I Still Live is illustrated passages of Sprague’s writing, interspersed with historical facts about her life and the Spiritualist movement, as well as a few pieces of the story of Murphy’s research into it all. i-still-live The whole book is black and white, colored only by bluish shades of watercolor grey, highlighting the passages of Sprague’s words. Murphy’s rendering of faces and natural details are quite bewitching, making the reader stare into the staring faces of 19th century Americans, ravens and ornate gravestones alike, except in the case of drawing herself, where she just looks like a hastily sketched cartoon stand-in. Each page is laid out differently, giving the sense of a sprawling, illustrated poem in some places and a history or autobio comic in others. This method was a bit disjointed, but effective enough to tell the parallel stories of Murphy and Sprague. The uneasy coexistence of the two stories is what undermined my enjoyment of I Still Live. From the cover depicting Murphy engaged in the Spiritualist practice of automatic writing, channeling this comic from the faces of the dead above her, I expected something more united in theme, a focus on one story or the other, or a more detailed look at both. Murphy sells her own story short by giving us only a sketch of her motivations and methods, and also gives short shrift to her subject by mainly illustrating her words instead of interpreting Sprague’s message for today’s audience. I am still left to wonder what was so personally compelling to Murphy about Sprague that she decided to do this project—disappointing in the face of Murphy’s obvious enthusiasm.]]> 2232 2009-08-11 09:45:39 2009-08-11 14:45:39 open open i-still-live-biography-of-a-spiritualist-by-annie-murphy publish 0 0 post 0 podPressPostSpecific _edit_lock _edit_last ljxp_comments ljxp_privacy ljID drone http://inkstuds.com/?attachment_id=2253 Sat, 15 Aug 2009 07:13:26 +0000 http://inkstuds.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/08/drone.jpg 2253 2009-08-15 02:13:26 2009-08-15 07:13:26 open open drone inherit 2252 0 attachment 0 http://inkstuds.com/wp-content//2009/08/drone.jpg _wp_attached_file _wp_attachment_metadata Art Show http://inkstuds.com/?p=2252 Sat, 15 Aug 2009 07:13:42 +0000 http://inkstuds.com/?p=2252 Hey Everybody, if you are in Vancouve, go check out my good friend Guillaume's art show.

On Thursday August 20th at 2pm pacific time, Kate Beaton will be live on air, and listeners can call in ask Mz Beaton questions. The phone number for the station is 604-822-2487. If you want to listen live, go to www.citr.ca Kate will only be on from 2-245. After that, from 245 -330, I will be joined in the studio by a group of degenerates, better known as Brandon Graham, James Stokoe and Lars Brown. The reason for the different programing this week - Vancouver's very own Comix and Stories small press day of fun. ]]> 2255 2009-08-17 14:01:20 2009-08-17 19:01:20 open open comix-and-stories publish 0 0 post 0 podPressPostSpecific _edit_lock _edit_last ljxp_comments ljxp_privacy ljID 11474 guzumo@gmail.com http://guzumocomics.com 59.101.151.182 2009-08-17 22:48:56 2009-08-18 03:48:56 1 0 0 17005 lookoutforsimon@hotmail.com http://www.drawingneeds.blogspot.com 88.117.5.97 2009-09-16 08:40:54 2009-09-16 13:40:54 1 0 0 locas-y-viejo http://inkstuds.com/?attachment_id=2261 Tue, 18 Aug 2009 01:16:25 +0000 http://inkstuds.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/08/locas-y-viejo.jpg 2261 2009-08-17 20:16:25 2009-08-18 01:16:25 open open locas-y-viejo inherit 2260 0 attachment 0 http://inkstuds.com/wp-content//2009/08/locas-y-viejo.jpg _wp_attached_file _wp_attachment_metadata Inkstuds Mixtape Vol 5 Jaime Hernandez http://inkstuds.com/?p=2260 Tue, 18 Aug 2009 07:25:40 +0000 http://inkstuds.com/?p=2260 Jaime Hernandez is truly one of the industry greats.

    46 Million Art Auction

    Inimitable Cartoonist and Fine Human Being Anders Nilsen has pulled together some great artwork for an even greater cause: health care reform. The participating artists are: John Porcellino, Genevieve Elverum, Chris Ware, Ivan Brunetti, Dan Clowes, Phil Elverum (Mount Eerie), Jeffrey Brown, Paul Hornschemeier, Todd Baxter, Sonnenzimmer Print Studio, Adam Henry, Kevin Huizenga, Jay Ryan (The Bird Machine Print Studio), Lynda Barry, Lilli Carre, David Heatley, Kyle Obriot, Stephen Eichhorn, Buenaventura Press, Sammy Harkham and the organizer, Anders Nilsen. The proceeds will go to Democracy for America Now, a national advocacy group running television ads to push the Public Option in democratic swing districts and offering support to congressional members who take a stand for the policy. My art for the auction (from Beasts Volume 2) is here. And you can (and should) see all the artwork up for auction by searching for 46 Million on eBay. Please bid on something. If you're feeling really generous, feel free to buy me that Todd Baxter photo. It's amazing. But nowhere near as amazing as people finally having affordable health coverage. So bid now and bid often.

Sometimes they do, but I'm more inclined to believe that small packages contain generally the same ratio of wheat to chaff as anything else in the world. The minicomics from Silber Media are no exception. All of them are tiny (about 1” x 1.25”, give or take) and each page is comprised of a single panel and caption. It's a tough format to work in, especially if you're trying to tell a complete story in 40-50 pages, but it does periodically come out a rousing success. More often, sadly, it just kind of comes up flat... Lost Kisses #7-10 – Brian John Mitchell I'm going to assume that the narrator of Lost Kisses is a fictionalized version of Brian John Mitchell and not actually autobiographical, because I'm pretty sure no one out there would want themselves portrayed like that. On the surface, Lost Kisses recalls the heights of the zine revolution, when anyone could put a comic out and it didn't matter if it was just filled with stick men, because it's what they were trying to say that counts. What this particular comic is trying to say, as near as I can tell, is that the author/narrator is a misanthropic dick who cares little for the feelings of other people and now that he's indirectly caused the death of one of his ex-girlfriends he can get over his hatred of women and just get on with hating the human race in general. What's really disturbing, though, are the constant attempts of the narrator to paint himself as not such a bad guy. For instance, he hates women, but doesn't resort to violence when dealing with them so that makes him okay. It's like watching a sociopath cheerily justify his behavior while making the case that he doesn't honestly have any antisocial tendancies. The narrative itself is presented very lightly and is legitimately and intentionally funny in spots, but unfortunately the moments of humour tend not to overpower the moments that make your skin want to crawl right off. xo #5 – Brian John Mitchell/Melissa Spence Gardner Watching the misadventures of a teenage drug-dealer cum hitman is one thing, but when it looks like a backup story in an Archie digest, I can't help feeling that it lost me somewhere along the way. It's not that Gardner's art is bad—I rather enjoy it on its own merits—just misplaced. If the focus of xo was a teenage drug-dealer it might have genuinely worked, but the hitman element seems really out of place in nearly every regard. In A Complete Lowlife, Ed Brubaker's semi-autobiographical main character was an amoral scumbag, but you believed the things that happened to him could honestly occur. In xo, after the narrator's first target is accidentally dispatched, the narrator quickly tidies up the murder scene, slips the body into the trunk and drives off in the victim's car, like he's been doing this kind of thing all his life. I don't buy it. I almost wish xo had shot a little lower in its plot aspirations, because if this had just been the accounts of a garden variety scumbag's drug deals gone wrong, I might have genuinely enjoyed it. Worms #3 & 4 – Brian John Mitchell/Kimberly Traub I'm always wary when something tells me it's recommended for fans of H.P. Lovecraft and Franz Kafka, because basically what that means is that it's weird and creepy, but you won't get an explanation for the weird creepiness, because that would take away from the creepy weirdness. Worms follows this pattern to a T. Here's the plot: a woman, after witnessing the death of her father, is trapped in a strange hospital which conducts horrifying medical experiments. Strange and horrifying things include: an IV bag full of worms, an endless hallway, patients in comas and a nurse whose voice can put people to sleep. The art resembles nothing so much as the drug-addled doodles of my friends in Grade Nine art class, which isn't the worst complement to the story, but doesn't do it any favours either. Honestly, if you want to read a creepy Kafka-esque book about a hospital, track down Secret Rendezvous by Kobo Abe. Or, if you're in the mood for disturbing tales of mental illness in comic form, try Tales of Ordinary Madness. Either of them follow through on their (unspoken) promises better than Worms does. Just a Man – Brian John Mitchell/Andrew White If the Noir Western exists as a legitimate genre and not just something my head concocted just now, Just a Man is a brilliant example of it—tight script, sparse yet beautiful art, and a complete (and brutal) story in 56 panels. A man comes home from working in the fields to find his house ablaze, his infant son killed and his wife missing. He gets his rifle and goes to deliver what he hopes is justice. A nihilistic haiku of vengeance, Just a Man is probably the best minicomic I've read in ages. I don't necessarily wish for a sequel (that would ruin the perfection of the ending), but I'd like to see more collaborations between Mitchell and White.]]> 2327 2009-09-15 18:26:08 2009-09-15 23:26:08 open open silber-media-minicomics-review-by-chris publish 0 0 post 0 podPressPostSpecific _edit_lock _edit_last ljxp_comments ljxp_privacy ljID The Illustrated Journey http://inkstuds.com/?p=2335 Thu, 17 Sep 2009 22:37:01 +0000 http://inkstuds.com/?p=2335 The Illustrated Journey is a fascinating project put together by some fine workers in Vancouver.

    PULP – BABIES

    Jarvis Cocker’s stories sound skeevy, sweaty, and desperate. Of course I identify.

    JAY-Z – DECEMBER 4

    Jay acts like a star so convincingly, you soak up his swagger. That’s the secret to his success. Morrissey’s taken a similar perspective recently. Jay-Z: “If you can’t respect that, your whole perspective is wack. Maybe you’ll love me when I fade to black.” – “December 4” Moz: “You don’t like me but you love me – either way, you’re wrong. You’re gonna miss me when I’m gone!” – “All You Need Is Me”

    LAURIE ANDERSON – LET X=X

    Anderson married Lou Reed a couple years back. My friend Abby remarked that you don’t know who to be jealous of.

    HANDSOME FURS – I’M CONFUSED

    HF are Dan Boeckner from Wolf Parade and his wife, the writer Alexei Perry. Wolf Parade fans tend to prefer its other frontman, Spencer Krug. Krug is cute, literary, and spouts surreal lyrics. He’s fine and all, but as far as I’m concerned, Boeckner’s the man. Example: Boeckner has a six-inch tattoo of a Halloween black cat on his bicep. I know that because he was wearing a cut-off Metallica Kill ‘Em All t-shirt when I saw Wolf Parade. He reminds me of a modern, more anxious Bruce Springsteen. I felt a story threading through these songs starting here.

    RANDY NEWMAN – GUILTY

    This man became famous for the Toy Story soundtrack. What a world! The “warts and all” approach to character is almost dull it’s so common in comics, but it’s still rare in songwriting.

    THE LANGLEY SCHOOLS MUSIC PROJECT – DESPERADO

    The Eagles song. These recordings come from the classroom of an elementary school music teacher who was a failed musician. He had the crazy idea that kids should be singing popular songs, the songs that they like.

    TOM WAITS – I DON’T WANNA GROW UP

    I bought a cassette of Bone Machine for a dollar at the Salvation Army across the street from the School of Visual Arts in NY when I toured the school. I had heard of, but never heard Waits. I started the ignition on my mom’s old Dodge and popped it in the deck. I swore there were ghosts in my stereo. I was hooked. The Ramones covered this in the ‘90s.

    THE SHANGRI-LAS – OUT ON THE STREETS

    It shouldn’t work. If someone were to tell me about it, I’d think it was probably cornball garbage. But I buy it. All of it.

    The story thread seems to end with this one.

    LOUIS ARMSTRONG AND HIS HOT FIVE – WEST END BLUES

    I heard this in Ken Burns’ Jazz.

    DAVID BYRNE – GLASS, CONCRETE AND STONE

    My friend J.P. once told me about when he left Illinois for the first time to go to school. He got in his red pickup at 7AM and put in a tape that his childhood best friend, Andrew, had made for him. The tape hissed and Andrew’s voice came from the speaker. Then a ‘click,’ indicating Andrew pressing ‘stop’ on the tape recorder. “Glass, Concrete and Stone” began. Tears streamed down J.P.’s face by the time Byrne reached the chorus.

    THE WALKMEN – EVERYONE WHO PRETENDED TO LIKE ME IS GONE

    My favorite modern band, easy. I love their textures, and their disaffected tone.

    FRANK ZAPPA – UNCLE REMUS

    I’ve put this on every mix tape I’ve ever made. Its buildup makes it a great transition. In high school I tried to find out if Zappa made any other music like it. He didn’t.

    NEIL YOUNG & CRAZY HORSE – WINTERLONG (LIVE)

    When I was in high school, I thought that I would like to make a movie that ends with a slow-motion car crash, soundtracked by “Winterlong.”

    I probably shouldn’t have told you that.

    SUICIDE – DREAMS

    I got this off the Open Ends: Musical Exploration in New York 1960-2000 CD from the MoMA store. I stole that from my mom. Bruce Springsteen covered their “Dream Baby Dream” live.

    THE MOUNTAIN GOATS – ALPHA RATS NEST

    John Darnielle writes the best sensory details of any songwriter I’ve ever heard. And it’s anthemic enough for a car full of teenagers to wail along with at the top of their lungs. I consider him a gold standard. Same with Newman.

    R.E.M. – SHAKING THROUGH

    I love Stipe’s voice cracking during the bridge. Murmur’s my favorite album.

    WHY? – FATALIST PALMISTRY

    Yoni Wolf writes about sex and death. How could I resist? I’d like to cover this as a country song.

    TOWNES VAN ZANDT – PANCHO AND LEFTY

    I heard the story is that Lefty got paid to kill Pancho. That’s why Townes says, “Pancho needs your prayers, it’s true, but save a few for Lefty too. He just did what he had to do, and now he’s growing old.” There’s an old screenwriting dictum that “The audience cries when the characters don’t.” I get that here. Van Zandt’s warmth, subtlety, and empathy for his characters always surprises me, no matter how many times I hear his songs. Check out the documentary about him; Be Here to Love Me. Tons of crazy stories.]]> 2342 2009-09-21 00:03:40 2009-09-21 05:03:40 open open inkstuds-mixtape-vol-10-ed-choy-moorman publish 0 0 post 0 podPressPostSpecific _edit_lock _edit_last ljxp_comments ljxp_privacy podPressMedia ljID Brad Mackay on Doug Wright http://inkstuds.com/?p=2348 Mon, 21 Sep 2009 17:20:16 +0000 http://inkstuds.com/?p=2348 Brad Mackay joined us for a chat about Canadian cartoonist, Doug Wright. Brad is the organizer of the Doug Wright Awards, an award that recognizes the best in Canadian cartooning. More importantly, Brad is one of the three men(along with cartoonist Seth and DQ Chief, Chris Oliveros) behind the Doug Wright collection from Drawn and Quarterly. The collection is a true testament to the passion that Seth, Chris and Brad shared in seeing this important Canadian work in print. Here is what the Doug Wright Awards, have to say about the man himself. Doug Wright created the long-running comic strip Doug Wright's Family. Born in England, Doug Wright came to Canada in 1938.  His cartooning career really began when he landed a job as editorial cartoonist for the Montreal Standard.  In 1948 he took over the reins of Jimmy Frise's Birdseye Center, retitled Juniper Junction. Signing the strip "DAW", he continued with it until its end in September, 1968.  Wright created Nipper, a mostly silent comic strip, for the Standard in 1949.  Wright excelled at the depiction of childhood and the daily charms and frustrations of late-20th Century domestic life.  A skilled draftsman, his fluid cartoon figures whirled through meticulously-rendered backgrounds and suburban landscapes. Nipper was rechristened Doug Wright's Family in 1967 when Wright moved from Montreal to Ontario.  The strip enjoyed a long run, entertaining a generation of Canadians on a weekly basis until Wright ended it in 1980.  Wright created a number of other strips and attempted to syndicate them, with some limited success, in addition to regular work in illustration and drawing syndicated editorial cartoons for the Montreal Standard and later the Hamilton Spectator.]]> 2348 2009-09-21 12:20:16 2009-09-21 17:20:16 open open brad-mackay-on-doug-wright publish 0 0 post 0 podPressPostSpecific _edit_lock _edit_last ljxp_comments ljxp_privacy podPressMedia ljID 19150 http://tcj.com/journalista/?p=988 63.247.141.210 2009-09-25 09:32:16 2009-09-25 14:32:16 1 pingback 0 0 19220 kevin@joeshusterawards.com http://www.joeshusterawards.com 204.225.33.136 2009-09-25 16:01:47 2009-09-25 21:01:47 1 0 0 19250 inkstudsradio@gmail.com http:// 96.49.99.96 2009-09-25 19:18:14 2009-09-26 00:18:14 1 19220 1 songs http://inkstuds.com/?attachment_id=2351 Wed, 30 Sep 2009 02:48:24 +0000 http://inkstuds.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/09/songs.jpg 2351 2009-09-29 21:48:24 2009-09-30 02:48:24 open open songs inherit 2350 0 attachment 0 http://inkstuds.com/wp-content//2009/09/songs.jpg _wp_attached_file _wp_attachment_metadata Inkstuds Mixtape Vol 11 Noah Van Sciver http://inkstuds.com/?p=2350 Wed, 30 Sep 2009 03:04:59 +0000 http://inkstuds.com/?p=2350 Noah Van Sciver's mix actually had me hunting pretty hard for some of the tracks, so he gets some well deserved kudo's.

The concept is pretty simple, but at the same time it isn't. Andrei has scoured high and low for abstract comics and created a fine book that seems to straddle the line between another comics anthology, to really inserting into a more art book type of area. The book deserves a lot more of a dialog than i am able to  provide here, but hopefully our conversation captures some of the  idea's  that come up.  Be sure to check out the Abstract Comics blog, which has been really continuing and expanding on the idea.]]> 2369 2009-10-06 21:36:48 2009-10-07 02:36:48 open open andrei-molotiu publish 0 0 post 0 podPressPostSpecific _edit_lock _edit_last ljxp_comments ljxp_privacy podPressMedia ljID 23968 http://topsy.com/tb/bit.ly/3PoExo 208.74.66.43 2009-10-08 08:37:14 2009-10-08 13:37:14 1 pingback 0 0 24754 ulandpons@gmail.com 24.245.46.98 2009-10-10 14:31:42 2009-10-10 19:31:42 1 0 0 24777 inkstudsradio@gmail.com http:// 24.83.37.141 2009-10-10 16:21:53 2009-10-10 21:21:53 1 24754 1 25292 http://tcj.com/journalista/?p=1039 63.247.141.210 2009-10-12 03:31:33 2009-10-12 08:31:33 1 pingback 0 0 26080 fookroenen@hotmail.com 198.7.247.246 2009-10-14 22:17:14 2009-10-15 03:17:14 1 0 0 26096 inkstudsradio@gmail.com http:// 96.49.99.96 2009-10-14 23:14:08 2009-10-15 04:14:08 1 26080 1 35586 ruhmadan@post.tau.ac.il 194.90.37.59 2010-01-12 04:37:55 2010-01-12 09:37:55 1 0 0 Kim Thompson on Jacques Tardi http://inkstuds.com/?p=2371 Fri, 09 Oct 2009 23:23:48 +0000 http://inkstuds.com/?p=2371 Kim Thompson joined the Inkstuds for a chat about the work of Jacques Tardi. Fantagraphics has started on an ambitious reprint project, translating a selection of Tardi's fine work for North American audiences. I have been a big fan of Tardi for a long time, after seeing his work in Raw, Drawn and Quarterly and a whole bunch of other anthologies. I highly recommend checking out West Coast Blues. It really stands out among the recent amount of Noir work that has been seeing print lately. It is strong compelling work that avoids a reliance of the standard tropes of detective pulp.]]> 2371 2009-10-09 18:23:48 2009-10-09 23:23:48 open open kim-thompson-on-jacques-tardi publish 0 0 post 0 podPressPostSpecific _edit_lock _edit_last ljxp_comments ljxp_privacy podPressMedia ljID 25307 lookoutforsimon@hotmail.com http://www.drawingneeds.blogspot.com 88.117.83.42 2009-10-12 04:31:51 2009-10-12 09:31:51 1 0 0 25389 inkstudsradio@gmail.com http:// 24.83.37.141 2009-10-12 10:44:33 2009-10-12 15:44:33 1 25307 1 25454 lookoutforsimon@hotmail.com http://www.lookoutforsimon.blogspot.com 88.117.69.65 2009-10-12 15:09:59 2009-10-12 20:09:59 1 0 0 25504 inkstudsradio@gmail.com http:// 24.84.209.185 2009-10-12 18:50:06 2009-10-12 23:50:06 1 25454 1 25683 lookoutforsimon@hotmail.com http://www.drawingneeds.blogspot.com 91.113.83.202 2009-10-13 12:07:58 2009-10-13 17:07:58 1 0 0 therearethingssmall http://inkstuds.com/?attachment_id=2374 Fri, 09 Oct 2009 23:27:06 +0000 http://inkstuds.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/10/therearethingssmall.jpg 2374 2009-10-09 18:27:06 2009-10-09 23:27:06 open open therearethingssmall inherit 2373 0 attachment 0 http://inkstuds.com/wp-content//2009/10/therearethingssmall.jpg _wp_attached_file _wp_attachment_metadata therearethingssmall1 http://inkstuds.com/?attachment_id=2375 Fri, 09 Oct 2009 23:27:21 +0000 http://inkstuds.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/10/therearethingssmall1.jpg 2375 2009-10-09 18:27:21 2009-10-09 23:27:21 open open therearethingssmall1 inherit 2373 0 attachment 0 http://inkstuds.com/wp-content//2009/10/therearethingssmall1.jpg _wp_attached_file _wp_attachment_metadata Inkstuds Mixtape Vol 12 Jeffrey Brown http://inkstuds.com/?p=2373 Fri, 09 Oct 2009 23:29:23 +0000 http://inkstuds.com/?p=2373 Many thanks to Jeffrey Brown for putting together not only a fine mix, but also for providing an awesome comic to go along with it.

http://inkstuds.com/?p=2378 Jason Turner went full on and did a 24 hour comic based on his mixtape(it actually ended up taking 103 hours). I don't know if anyone will meet his level of commitment, but it is a fine mix to listen to. Jason is one of Vancouver's finest talents. His True Loves comics have been one of those rare examples of a comic set in my home town.

He really deserves the accolades. His comics are all constructed like fine pieces of art. Not only do they look pretty, but they also read great. Britt Wilson is a supertalented lady out of Toronto. Her comics are well crafted little slices of enjoyment. She really shines when she does her painted work. Britt is still pretty young, so I suggest you get to know her stuff now, before she is some big name fancy shmancy artist, and then you will have some weird bragging rights. I bought all of the mini's she has listed here and love them. Australian Pat Grant, sent me an awesome drawing of me interviewing Satan. It made me happy. He also does some great comics too. I love how comics are so international. Dutchman, Joost Halbertsma has been producing some really interesting work that is a little on the more experimental side. I think he has some good drawing chops and hopefully you do to. I really enjoy Jason Overby's stuff and I think he is really developing a nice unique style. He has a nice piece in the Abstract Comics collection. His work comes from the Gary Panter school and wears it well.]]> 2435 2009-10-26 17:32:01 2009-10-26 22:32:01 open open 5-cartoonists-you-should-be-reading-stuff-by publish 0 0 post 0 podPressPostSpecific _edit_lock _edit_last ljxp_comments ljxp_privacy ljID worldoftomorrow http://inkstuds.com/?attachment_id=2438 Tue, 27 Oct 2009 07:29:16 +0000 http://inkstuds.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/10/worldoftomorrow.jpg 2438 2009-10-27 02:29:16 2009-10-27 07:29:16 open open worldoftomorrow inherit 2437 0 attachment 0 http://inkstuds.com/wp-content//2009/10/worldoftomorrow.jpg _wp_attached_file _wp_attachment_metadata worldoftomorrow1 http://inkstuds.com/?attachment_id=2439 Tue, 27 Oct 2009 07:30:34 +0000 http://inkstuds.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/10/worldoftomorrow1.jpg 2439 2009-10-27 02:30:34 2009-10-27 07:30:34 open open worldoftomorrow1 inherit 2437 0 attachment 0 http://inkstuds.com/wp-content//2009/10/worldoftomorrow1.jpg _wp_attached_file _wp_attachment_metadata Whatever Happened to the World of Tomorrow review by Chris http://inkstuds.com/?p=2437 Tue, 27 Oct 2009 18:27:36 +0000 http://inkstuds.com/?p=2437 I don't particularly need to know what happened to the World of Tomorrow, but I'd be curious to know why it ended up so boring. There's nothing in this book that shouldn't be riveting—it's a nostalgic look at the way we (as a culture) have viewed the future over the past 70 years or so, starting with the New York World's Fair and proceeding up to the present. It's chock full of really interesting commentary on the various eras and epochs as told through the eyes of a boy and his relationship with his father (as well as the the styles of the various comic books of each age), but unfortuantely the commentary just sits there, failing to connect the reader with either the material or the boy and his father. To further confuse things, the boy ages extremely slowly, progressing from nine or ten around the start of the book, to his late teens by the end. I'd postulate that this is a metaphorical aging, representing the changes that our society has weathered in order to reach the more mature, realistic vision we have now, but if that's the case, we are once again left behind by a concept that leaves the average reader behind. My wife, casually picking up the book and interested in the material, couldn't figure out the metaphor in the aging and put it down, mildly frustrated. That's not the right reaction when you're trying to evoke nostalgia and wonder. I'd like to like Whatever Happened to the World of Tomorrow—I'd certainly like to read the author's conclusions and points of view in essay-form—but as a graphic novel, the pieces don't quite mesh together and in the end one is left with the feeling that sometimes the future is better off without us making a big production of searching for it.]]> 2437 2009-10-27 13:27:36 2009-10-27 18:27:36 open open whatever-happened-to-the-world-of-tomorrow-review-by-chris publish 0 0 post 0 podPressPostSpecific _edit_lock _edit_last ljxp_comments ljxp_privacy ljID 96223 Esses299@gmail.com http://cheappowerbalance.blogspot.com/ 83.170.117.220 2010-10-11 16:20:32 2010-10-11 21:20:32 power balance pas cher power balance discount cheap powerbalance]]> trash 0 0 Abby Denson http://inkstuds.com/?p=2442 Thu, 29 Oct 2009 23:23:32 +0000 http://inkstuds.com/?p=2442 Abby Denson joined me for a chat about her book Dolltopia and the wonderful world of cupcakes.

The story focuses on the characters surrounding the making and distribution of food for the homeless and hungry (aka the "camping") in San Francisco. The characters include a stressed Susie learning the ropes, Raj, the skill-less coordinator, the salt-crazy chef and a host of other volunteers and soup eaters from the community. The comic also includes a funny, nicely illustrated recipe for the titular soup that says more than all the pages in the comic put together about Cagle’s feelings on her time doling out food for San Francisco’s hungry. I wish the rest of the comic had been so focused. Instead, it feels very much like what it is, the first part of a longer story. We don’t get any background on the Susie character and only a little on her motivation for joining FnB, and when her reasons are abruptly swept aside by Raj, we don’t get to see her reaction. We don’t know anything about what she does when she’s not cooking. I want to care about Susie, but I can’t quite because I only get to see little bits of what she is like. I wish Cagle had either stuck to her feelings about FnB, like in the excellent one-page nightmare sequence, or really explored the stories of the people eating, even if that meant going fictional. I understand that a glimpse is the most she gets of these people’s lives, a hand reaching out for a paper cup, but the comic suffers from the author’s slight characterizations. Cagle’s cartooning is really fun to look at. Her style is a little cartoony, but detailed enough to feel realistic. I love how she draws the FnB crew’s jobs and facial expressions during a cooking session. They all seem a little grim. And the Susie character has such a great face and posture—she looks like a girl whose bike you could get hit by and not care because she’s so nice. I want to see what happens next in the world of Nine Gallons, I only hope some of the characters rise to the top of the broth.]]> 2451 2009-11-03 00:52:29 2009-11-03 05:52:29 open open nine-gallons-by-susie-cagle publish 0 0 post 0 _edit_lock _edit_last podPressPostSpecific ljxp_comments ljxp_privacy ljID patgrant http://inkstuds.com/?attachment_id=2471 Tue, 03 Nov 2009 06:36:56 +0000 http://inkstuds.com/wp-admin/podcast/2009/11/patgrant.jpg 2471 2009-11-03 01:36:56 2009-11-03 06:36:56 open open patgrant inherit 2470 0 attachment 0 http://inkstuds.com/wp-content//2009/11/patgrant.jpg _wp_attached_file _wp_attachment_metadata patgrant1 http://inkstuds.com/?attachment_id=2472 Tue, 03 Nov 2009 07:18:08 +0000 http://inkstuds.com/wp-admin/podcast/2009/11/patgrant1.jpg 2472 2009-11-03 02:18:08 2009-11-03 07:18:08 open open patgrant1 inherit 2470 0 attachment 0 http://inkstuds.com/wp-content//2009/11/patgrant1.jpg _wp_attached_file _wp_attachment_metadata 4 years In and Still No Refunds Allowed http://inkstuds.com/?p=2470 Tue, 03 Nov 2009 08:00:46 +0000 http://inkstuds.com/?p=2470 It's hard to believe that I have been doing the Inkstuds Radio show for 4 years now, to the day. At first, I had no idea what I was doing, or even why I was doing this. Early shows were a painful mix of dreary dialogue and a more than sufficient amount of umms and ahhhs. When I decided to focus on doing interviews, some people asked me how long I could go without repeating guests, and obviously it has gone on a lot longer than those folks expected. While there have been some guests that have made multiple appearances on the show, I would have them on as often as they would let me talk to them, when you are talking folks like Eddie Campbell, Peter Bagge and others. Going into this  new year of Inkstuds is very different from the past. Things have been better than ever. I have been able to interview dream guests like Jerry Moriarty, Gary Panter and Ralph Steadman, and have plans to chat with some equally exciting underground legends. I am currently in the process of archiving the old interviews with the help of a very generous transcriber. Some of those interviews are going to hopefully be in a book that I am putting together. I don't want to say too much as it is, since it's still a year away. There are also talks of putting together a larger art show in conjunction with the book, but once again, still too soon to say too much. To commemorate this mild landmark, I will be posting a different Interview or Mixtape each day of the week. To top off the bonus programing, will be an interview I conducted a couple of weeks ago with Seth. Seth was the first guest that I have ever interviewed. He was very generous with his time 4 years ago, and the same now. The Canadian identity is very important for me in respect to coverage with the show and something that I am going to make more of an attempt to be proactive with. Thanks so much for listening and please keep support your local comickers. I am sure there is some mini-comic worth checking out at your local comic store. And if your comic store refuses to sell mini's, then don't shop there.]]> 2470 2009-11-03 03:00:46 2009-11-03 08:00:46 open open 4-years-in-and-still-no-refunds-allowed publish 0 0 post 0 _edit_lock _edit_last podPressPostSpecific ljxp_comments ljxp_privacy ljID 27367 SquallyShowers@Gmail.com 74.72.197.105 2009-11-03 14:48:53 2009-11-03 19:48:53 1 0 0 27374 ms.tryharder@gmail.com http://tryharderyall.blogspot.com 207.10.54.2 2009-11-03 15:39:11 2009-11-03 20:39:11 1 0 0 27379 theartist@baskervilleoldface.com http://www.baskervilleoldface.com 81.151.67.26 2009-11-03 16:50:24 2009-11-03 21:50:24 1 0 0 27406 ricko@poopsheetfoundation.com http://poopsheetfoundation.com 68.116.146.12 2009-11-03 21:06:36 2009-11-04 02:06:36 1 0 0 27441 http://www.ubervu.com/conversations/inkstuds.com/%3Fp%3D2470 174.129.29.13 2009-11-04 04:02:36 2009-11-04 09:02:36 Social comments and analytics for this post...

I really like the Jeremy Tinder-painted cover of this mini* and while all signs were pointing to YES, I balked a bit at the five dollar price tag. Luckily my companion gave me a bit of a bitch slap, commenting on how long it takes to make even a short comic, and how I just needed to get over my thin wallet and support the artist (and the store, and the publisher, etc.). Truly, friends, how many of us have them? The book opens with “Legends of Chance Oxblood: A Travel Journal,” a series of illustrated sections from a the fictional lost journal of an unfortunate “adventurer-explorer.” Each page has three parts: the entry, the pictures and a small, mystery-laden item below. Between the introduction and suggestive glimpses into the life and times of Oxblood, we know that he did not come to a happy end, but perhaps a fitting one. I like the mystery imparted by his heavy use of black in this story and the pane-within-pane construction of the panels. The second story charts the last year in the life of a fallen giant of the gas variety. Pluto, after being fired from the solar system, lives his life in a Chicago-like city, seemingly content with his earthbound life until his ancientness catches up with him. This mostly-wordless story is packed with expository details that don’t weigh the lightening quick story (one panel per month) down but only enrich it. The “Black Forest Hymn” was the most visually arresting tale of the bunch and almost pulls off the aint-life-brutal allegory it strives for. Instead of you and me wandering, breeding and dying, we get silent humanoid creatures with a single arm instead of heads roaming in the state of nature. I liked the dangerous woodiness of the setting and the expressiveness Reynolds was able to pull from the figures, but the last two pages lacked the urgency felt in the rest of the story. “You Are My Heart” is a nightmarish take on finding oneself cast as the sacrificial lamb, or in this story’s case “the chosen one.” I like how Reynolds uses two styles to evoke the need of the townspeople with the need of the monster. The woman to be given to the monster is torn from a dream that looks tellingly like that of her fate, but where she is a mermaid instead of wet bait—I thought using the same style to depict both was an elegant way to show the powerlessness of the unnamed woman in the face of other people’s desires. The final story, “Where the River Meets the Sea,” returns to the format of “Legends of Chance Oxblood,” and is this time used to tell a somber tale of trading one fixation for another for the sake of other people. I found the words lyrical and the art fittingly moody—there are many storms to bear and whirlpools to avoid here. I think Reynolds captured the surreal feeling of striving to become someone else, however destructive the self you are trying to shed was. *This mini was published by a large indie printer, but I am still going with that moniker for this book, both because of its size and content. Ok? Ok.]]> 2492 2009-11-09 00:25:08 2009-11-09 05:25:08 open open comic-diorama-collected-comics-by-grant-reynolds publish 0 0 post 0 ljxp_privacy ljxp_comments podPressPostSpecific _edit_lock _edit_last ljID 29894 chiefbucknell@hotmail.com http://www.youaretheresearch.com 72.72.130.227 2009-11-22 22:44:54 2009-11-23 03:44:54 1 0 0 28168 mjacobalvarez@gmail.com http://www.hypnospiralcomic.com 98.111.170.37 2009-11-09 13:23:38 2009-11-09 18:23:38 1 0 0 28202 lookoutforsimon@hotmail.com http://www.drawingneeds.blogspot.com 91.115.87.31 2009-11-09 18:07:11 2009-11-09 23:07:11 1 0 0 Funding Drive 09 Week 1 http://inkstuds.com/?p=2506 Fri, 20 Nov 2009 01:18:51 +0000 http://inkstuds.com/?p=2506 This weeks show is a little different.

This year i am joined by a bevy of prominent comics bloggers. Timothy Hodler is a member of the always enlightening ComicsComics, Sean T Collins has his own blog, Attentiondeficitdisorderly Too Flat and lastly Robot 6,Chris Mautner. The work we decided to cover, doesn't necessarily make up a definitive best of 2009 list, but instead, is a grouping of work that we would like to discuss more closely.

    Thanks to everyone that has supported and enjoyed the show. I tried to pull myself together and get this years card out, but the money just isn't there. But I really want people to see the fabulous card that should have gone out, by one of my favorites, Jordyn F Bochon. She really created a wonderful image and she's the best. 2010 will be a great year for the show. We are going to see the release of the Inkstuds book from Conundrum press and a large Art show at Grace Gallery in Vancouver.

I did this for the Daily Cross Hatch. The work on the list is more like a list of stuff I like and I think people should check out. There is a lot of other comics that I have enjoyed immensely, and if you want more suggestions, email me or just listen to some of the 200 interviews here. The image above is provided by the wonderful Noah Van Sciver. I plan on looking like that on New Years Eve. BEST OF 2009 Pim and Francie by Al Columbia–This book shows what happens when you allow a cartoonist to do the work that they want to do, with out interference. I really think the world of Al’s work. Some of his Mome stuff has been amazing and he show’s no sign of slowing down or letting up. A Drifting Life by Yoshihiro Tatsumi–Meeting Tatsumi at TCAF was a highlight of the year. The man was getting some well deserved attention and in turn, he was extremely generous with the folks there. My sketched in copy is a prize of the Inkstuds collection. Spot 12: The Story of a Birth by Jenny Jaeckel–This is probably removed from everyones radar. I bought this off a friend that was selling it for her at a small comic convention in Vancouver. This Xeric grant winning book is an autobio story in the tradition of amphromphsizing the story to really boiled it down to the basic properties. I had no idea this comic even came from Vancouver! You Are There by Jacques Tardi–I have been a fan of Tardi’s for a very long time and when I heard that Fantagraphics was going to start reprinting work, I was was pretty stoked. Both You Are There and West Coast Blues are fantastic. West Coast Blues serves a great purpose of showing all those guys doing cheesy crime comics, how it’s really done. You Are There on the other hand, really stands out to me even more, because of the way that he is able to play with the medium and push the comics to a point of no return. Complete Jack Survives by Jerry Moriarty–A fine work that could have been lost to obscurity but thanks to the devotion of Alvin Buenaventura and Chris Ware, Jerry Moriarty’s masterpiece sees the light day for a new generation of cartoonists to learn from. This book works on a couple of different levels. First of, it’s cartooning or as Jerry refers to himself, paintooning at its best. Secondly is to understand how Jerry is able to  break comics down into a way that hearkens to Bushmiller’s Nancy. Jerry is able to express so much with minimal activity, providing a snapshot of a point in time and a visceral experience at the same time. Buy this book! BEST OF THE 2000's Journal #45 Life After Black by Barron Storey—I can’t say enough about how important Barron is. It is really a shame about the high price of the book and its limited print run. Barron is doing something in this comic that stretches the expectations of what one can do with a traditional narrative and beating it with a very large stick. Louis Riel by Chester Brown—This book makes me proud to be a Canadian. Not only is Chester Brown a national cartooning treasure, but his take on the life of one the more formidable figures in Canadian history is unapolagetically honest and succinct. It’s an odd book, because in one way, Chester is the only cartoonist that makes war look so boring, but that seems to be his purpose. There is no glorification of events and hero making. Chester is more involved in deconstructing some essential Canadian myths. Kramers Ergot #4 by Various—This is like the art comic equivalent of NWA’s “Straight Out of Compton.” Sammy Harkham and company put together a really amazing collection from beginning to end. For a lot of people, this was there first exposure to some of the more interesting art comics folks producing work. I don’t think that any of the previous Kramers have really stepped up the game as much as this book. It seems like the later volumes seemed to try and and create to follow the mold, but whole point of KE 4, was that they broke the mold. Don’t Go Where I Can’t Follow by Anders Nilsen—Heart breaking and beautiful. Notes for a War Story by Gipi–Where the hell did this guy come from! Amazing. i wish comics were always this good. Black Hole by Charles Burns—I don’t know if i can add anything new that hasn’t already been said about this book. One of the master’s of comics creating his masterpiece. Boulevard of Broken Dreams by Kim Deitch—It is no secret that I am a huge fan of Kim’s work. This book show’s that he is at the top of his game. He seems to get better with time and with each book better than the last, but this is the one that sticks out to me, as really breaking through and making a strong impact beyond his the underground roots. Jimbo in Purgatory by Gary Panter—I don’t know if i can really do this book justice in describing why it’s important. Panter is able to weave several stories through a dizzying complex of illustrated narratives. This book can be a challenge to read, but well worth it, once you start to explore the parts that create the whole. It’s a shame that this is so out of print now, I think of all the academic work that is being done around comics, this is probably the most deserving and essential. Each page comes carefully notated at the bottom, citing the literary sources that he uses. It creates this interesting blend where in one part you have original canto by Dante as the theme and the dialogue is an amalgamation of Classical, Biblical and Renaissance literature. With all this fancy literature, Panter places images of modern pop iconography and somehow it all makes sense, especially once you dig deep and understand how the narrative and context in each quote works together. Schizo #4 by Ivan Brunetti—Dear Ivan, please please put out another issue. I love the anthologies you do, but I think its time for some more comics.. In an interview I did with him a couple of years ago, Ivan mentioned that he was working on a strip about Jeff Magnum from Neutral Milk Hotel. I would be happy with just that. Please Ivan, make an Inkstud happy. Acme Novelty #19 by Chris Ware—It’s really hard for me to pick my favorite work by Chris for the decade. Acme #19 is probably the most evolved and dynamic of his output. I am sure there are a million and one reviews of this book, written by better writers than myself, so i will just say that I really liked it and you should too.]]> 2555 2009-12-29 19:39:37 2009-12-30 00:39:37 open open inkstuds-personal-best-of-lists publish 0 0 post 0 _edit_lock _edit_last podPressPostSpecific ljxp_comments ljxp_privacy ljID 59555 http://artpatient.com/2010/01/01/strip-news-1-1-10/ 174.120.234.2 2010-05-13 08:23:20 2010-05-13 13:23:20 1 pingback 0 0 34281 http://www.artpatient.com/2010/01/01/strip-news-1-1-10/ 72.167.131.1 2010-01-01 09:03:06 2010-01-01 14:03:06 1 pingback 0 0 Dean Motter http://inkstuds.com/?p=2557 Wed, 30 Dec 2009 19:34:37 +0000 http://inkstuds.com/?p=2557 My personal early days in comics, was very influenced by Dean Motter's work.

Chatting with him about his work was a highlight for me on the show. He recently released a new edition of his long out of print Marat/Sade Journals. This new edition is a lush as one can hope. David Mack, an artist whom I am honestly not much of a fan of at all, offers a really thoughtful and personal introduction. Mack describes the work as "finely, delicately, and expertly orchestrated into the rhythm and meaning of the word-play". The narrative of Storey's work, weaves together a series of different writings that are able come together in a unified interplay of dialogue. The art is equally complex and compelling, using the words as an integral part of the Barron's visual work. Barron has an expectation with his comics, they aren't easy and they aren't simple. The artist has a job to push beyond the old word balloon and gutters and each page has several stories to tell on several different levels. I think it's too bad that more of the alt comics sect don't take the time to look at Barron's work, there is a lot to be learned from with this master. Stylistically, Barron's contemporaries range from Dave Mckean to Kent Williams, but I think there is something that links him to Gary Panter in the usage of a formalist style. Your link of the day is Barron's own blog of journal work. There is a never ending supply of influence to check out on.]]> 2586 2010-01-18 23:49:35 2010-01-19 04:49:35 open open barron-storey-maratsade-journals publish 0 0 post 0 _edit_lock _edit_last ljxp_comments ljxp_privacy podPressPostSpecific ljID 96701 Belovs47@gmail.com http://hechizosdemagianegra.com 201.252.48.147 2010-11-03 15:07:21 2010-11-03 20:07:21 0 0 0 Bryan Lee O'Malley http://inkstuds.com/?p=2589 Wed, 20 Jan 2010 23:45:40 +0000 http://inkstuds.com/?p=2589 Bryan Lee O'Malley joined me for a chat his books Scott Pilgrim and Lost at Sea as well as other topics of comicky goodness.

Yost http://inkstuds.com/?p=2596 Wed, 27 Jan 2010 16:52:14 +0000 http://inkstuds.com/?p=2596 Old Man Winter and Other Sordid Tales is a Xeric award-winning collection of tales from Brooklynite J.T. Yost. The titular story opens with a one-page image of a gnomish man sleeping on one side of a double bed, under a sketchy wedding photograph, surrounded by clutter in a dawning light. The text reads ”the old man is always cold,” which succinctly sums up the loneliness of old age. The rest of the story follows the old man through selected moments of his routine, including a pitch-perfect conversation with a frustrated daughter who is trying to get him ready to move, presumably to a nursing home. Though the story includes a few scenes that take place in his absence, the old man’s patient manner soaks it, and even renders his somewhat cartoonish look dignified. In fact, his small round figure signals that he is living in a different world from the other characters, one where the past is very, very close. The final drawing of the story sums up the sadness, quiet and inevitability of death just as nicely as the opening drawing foreshadows it. “Logging Sanjay” is atmospheric autobio that combines two pillars of the genre: guilt and humor. Two friends decide to freak out a third, and up the ante with each attack. The victim’s family mistakes the disjointed efforts of the boys to be threats, and I like that you can sense that the author’s younger self thinks that his is pretty cool, despite the fact that it made his friend’s life kina fucked up for awhile. Yost captures the reality of a mundane topic--stupid things kids do—and uses detail to put us in the moment. The final three stories, “All Is Forgiven,” “Roadtrip,” and “Running Away With the Circus/Running Away From the Circus,” focus on cruelty to animals and question how we can ignore suffering in beings so much like ourselves. “All Is Forgiven” is the best, and the panel that makes it so shows a cat with something mechanical glued to its head (presumably from experimentation) licking the hand of the man who inflicted the gash when he is crying over a lost relationship. Balancing preachy and poignant in “issue” comics is difficult and Yost pulls it off better than most. Old Man Winter and Other Sordid Tales is another example of why the Xeric folks’ seal of approval actually means something to me, unlike other awards which shall remain nameless.]]> 2596 2010-01-27 11:52:14 2010-01-27 16:52:14 open open old-man-winter-and-other-sordid-tales-by-jt-yost publish 0 0 post 0 _edit_lock _edit_last ljxp_comments ljxp_privacy podPressPostSpecific ljID 48075 lookoutforsimon@hotmail.com http://www.simonshaus.com 91.115.166.230 2010-04-02 04:50:32 2010-04-02 09:50:32 1 0 0 Amy Lockhart http://inkstuds.com/?p=2601 Fri, 29 Jan 2010 01:24:32 +0000 http://inkstuds.com/?p=2601 Amy Lockhart came on to discuss her new book from Drawn and quarterly, Dirty Dishes, the Dizzler, her animation work, including the excellent Walk for Walk and her zine making days in Nog A Dod. ]]> 2601 2010-01-28 20:24:32 2010-01-29 01:24:32 open open amy-lockhart publish 0 0 post 0 _edit_last _edit_lock ljxp_comments ljxp_privacy podPressMedia podPressPostSpecific ljID 37673 ms.tryharder@gmail.com http://tryharderyall.blogspot.com 151.205.183.63 2010-01-29 19:10:47 2010-01-30 00:10:47 1 0 0 37685 inkstudsradio@gmail.com http:// 24.84.32.249 2010-01-29 21:37:57 2010-01-30 02:37:57 1 37673 1 Olympiads http://inkstuds.com/?p=2603 Sat, 30 Jan 2010 05:52:47 +0000 http://inkstuds.com/?p=2603 As most of the world knows, the Olympics start in two greuling weeks. Travelling within Vancouver is going to be an unheard of hell, with much of the city locked off like some kind of terrible version of Escape from New York. With the upcoming madness, I have decided to take a little 'studs break for the last two weeks of February. I am a little overwhelmed right now with work, school(finally finishing in August), The inkstuds book, which i will need to sit down and read well over 300 pages of and edit and plan out artwork. I do have show's planned out for the next couple of weeks, but after that, I need to shift gears temporarily and hopefully return renewed. So, during the break, what to do? Christopher Butcher had the great suggestion of fill-ins. If you are interested in doing a fill-in, shoot me an email with a proposal. You can find me at inkstuds@inkstuds.com or on the old twitter that everyone seems to love @inkstuds.]]> 2603 2010-01-30 00:52:47 2010-01-30 05:52:47 open open olympiads publish 0 0 post 0 _edit_lock _edit_last ljxp_comments ljxp_privacy podPressPostSpecific ljID Fundraiser for a Friend http://inkstuds.com/?p=2612 Tue, 02 Feb 2010 04:58:04 +0000 http://inkstuds.com/?p=2612 I don't normally post this kind of thing, but Robin Konstabaris was an integral part of getting this show together and one of my favorite people in the local comics community. Please come and support event if you can, and if not, try and do something nice for Robin, she is good people! and for fun, read her wonderful blog, documenting the cross country adventure undertaken by Robin and her special fella. Friday, 05 February 2010 at 23:15 The New Revue Stage on Granville Island 1601 Johnston Street, Vancouver Presented by the Vancouver Theatresports League this promises to be an evening full of laughter. Come out and show your support! Please share this event with your friends. The suggested donation at the door is $10.00 the proceeds will go to Robin Konstabaris. Thank you to the Vancouver Theatresports League and their very talented artists for supporting this wonderful event. About the artist: Robin Konstabaris has been active in the Vancouver arts community for over 20 years, at various times a fine artist, author (Scrambled Brains), and modern cartoonist. She has exhibited in numerous galleries across Canada, and is most well known for her comic strip Clip ‘n’ Save, which appeared weekly in Vancouver’s Westender from 1998 until 2005. On Christmas Day, 2009, her studio containing most of her life’s work as well as over 2 decades of accumulated equipment and inventory was destroyed by fire. A fraction of the work, including some colour documentation and most of the Clip ‘n’ Save originals, were eventually and miraculously recovered from the rubble but require professional restoration. “I am forced to rebuild my studio from scratch,” says the artist, “beginning with finding some affordable space. Once I do that there is quite a bit of required equipment to get up to even the bare minimum of a functional space, including a desk, chair, cutting mat, squares, rulers, pencils, pens, pastels, charcoals, tracing paper, rag paper, illustration board, and other various odds and ends. It all seems like little things but it really adds up.” The emotional aspects have been hard to deal with, the artist admits, but the situation has been made easier by the help she has received from the community, for which she is deeply grateful.]]> 2612 2010-02-01 23:58:04 2010-02-02 04:58:04 open open fundraiser-for-a-friend publish 0 0 post 0 _edit_last _edit_lock ljxp_comments ljxp_privacy podPressPostSpecific ljID 44394 J-kcampbell@hotmail.com 24.65.240.92 2010-03-16 01:36:40 2010-03-16 06:36:40 1 0 0 45317 inkstudsradio@gmail.com http:// 96.49.99.96 2010-03-19 18:25:47 2010-03-19 23:25:47 1 44394 1 Zak Sally http://inkstuds.com/?p=2614 Wed, 03 Feb 2010 00:06:15 +0000 http://inkstuds.com/?p=2614 I really enjoyed this chat with Zak Sally.

We also talk about must-read manga beyond Tezuka, Tatsumi and Urasawa, and why 2010 is a great time to sample Japanese comics that goes beyond what you might think manga can be.

My publisher at Conundrum posted this image on his blog, so here it - the wonderful cover to the Inkstuds book by the very amazing Britt Wilson. I have mentioned Britt before, she is really an amazing talent that will blow up soon. Her friends like to tease her that she is the next big thing, and I agree, that is why I am really happy that she agreed to do that cover and blew my mind in the process. We will have a proper press release soon, hopefully before TCAF about the content of the book. It is a really amazing list of interviews. Some of my favorite folks in comics are in it.]]> 2792 2010-04-07 09:44:55 2010-04-07 14:44:55 open open inkstuds-book-the-cover publish 0 0 post 0 _edit_lock _edit_last ljxp_comments ljxp_privacy podPressPostSpecific ljID 50560 ms.tryharder@gmail.com http://tryharderyall.blogspot.com 209.251.200.243 2010-04-13 11:45:54 2010-04-13 16:45:54 1 0 0 49954 info@joosthalbertsma.nl http://www.joosthalbertsma.nl 83.163.188.22 2010-04-11 06:26:36 2010-04-11 11:26:36 1 0 0 49466 http://drawr.co.uk/2010/04/09/britt-wilson%e2%80%99s-secrets/ 83.170.85.160 2010-04-09 06:18:19 2010-04-09 11:18:19 1 pingback 0 0 49385 inkstudsradio@gmail.com http:// 24.84.32.249 2010-04-08 21:54:56 2010-04-09 02:54:56 1 0 1 49364 ed.is.so.dead@gmail.com http://edsdeadbody.com/ 74.7.163.34 2010-04-08 20:10:38 2010-04-09 01:10:38 1 0 0 49365 ed.is.so.dead@gmail.com http://edsdeadbody.com/ 74.7.163.34 2010-04-08 20:11:43 2010-04-09 01:11:43 1 0 0 49334 http://www.ubervu.com/conversations/inkstuds.com/%3Fp%3D2792 67.202.32.232 2010-04-08 16:58:09 2010-04-08 21:58:09 Social comments and analytics for this post...

Really great interviews with interviewing cartoonists that strayed from the normal topics. I won't say that I have reached that level of standards, but it set an expectation for myself. So getting the offer to chat comics with Todd Hignite was something I could turn down. His latest book is the very fine Jaime Hernandez art book. Being a fan of both parties involved, makes me partial towards really liking it off the bat.

I guess my panel went well last year, because organizer Christopher Butcher is letting me do it again. This year, I am going to be moderating a discussion between headliners, Paul Pope and Dash Shaw. I wanted to talk to these two guys specifically because of how modern their work really is. As Frank Santoro likes to say, they represent a fusion of a bunch of different influences, and hopefully we can explore that. On top of the panel, I will also be doing my first real appearance at a comics event. I will be at the Conundrum Press table on both days from 1-2pm. Please come by and say hi. I will have the first piece of Inkstuds Merchandise for sale at the table. It's a t-shirt done with a special silk-screening technique that will make it very different from most other shirts. The illustration on the shirt is by Inkstud buddy, Brandon Graham. He is swell for doing a great image. I won't be posting any pics of the shirts before the festival, but they sure are pretty sweet. I will also have dvd discs I made of every Inkstuds interview. Those are free. So come say hi and get a free disc or you know, buy a shirt. Since I will be in Toronto all week. Email me, I may have some free time.]]> 2813 2010-05-03 00:07:01 2010-05-03 05:07:01 open open a-stud-in-toronto publish 0 0 post 0 _edit_lock _edit_last ljxp_comments ljxp_privacy podPressPostSpecific ljID 55944 http://topsy.com/trackback?utm_source=pingback&utm_campaign=L1&url=http://inkstuds.com/%3Fp=2813 74.112.128.30 2010-05-03 00:22:45 2010-05-03 05:22:45 1 pingback 0 0 Marv Newland sale! http://inkstuds.com/?p=2815 Sat, 08 May 2010 06:02:57 +0000 http://inkstuds.com/?p=2815 While i am rocking it up in Toronto, you should go see what Marv Newland is selling off at his studio sale.

It's short and sweet, but hopefully interesting.  Secondly, The National Post in Canada, did a lengthy series of interviews with attendees at the festival. The questions were the same for everyone, and since I am not a cartoonist, I hope my answers conformed ok. TCAF was really amazing for me. I interviewed the insanely talented Michael Deforge and the very inspiring Ho Che Anderson this week, as well as a couple of panels at TCAF proper. My first panel was with Paul Pope and Dash Shaw. It was really great. Paul seemed to open up quite a lot and Dash was intelligent and inspiring as always. The second panel I did was "Comics and social media" with Kate Beaton, Ray Fawkes, Jeff Rowland, Rich Stevens, and James Sturm. I was a little worried that it would be a train wreck, with five panelists, but it was quite excellent. Gina and Christopher picked a perfect group of folks for it. All the panelists are very intelligent creators that have a lot to offer as well as a fantastic sense of humor. I am hoping both panels recorded nicely. I won't know until tmrw, but will try and get it posted as soon as possible. I spent most of the weekend with the creators at Conundrum Press, including publisher Andy Brown, and cartoonists Joe Ollman, Sully, and possibly my new favorite person in comics, Phillipe Girard as well as Simon Bosse. Some of the events I attended were very inspiring. James Sturm gave a very fascinating talk in regards to his Market Day book. It is a fantastic book and you should really read it. Vancouver buddy Miriam Libicki, presented as well, and it was great to see her in this context. She has really come into her own over the last four years since I first came across her comics at Vancouver's humble conventions. The following night was Daniel Clowes' talk, which was more excellent than i could of imagined. There is no arguing his importance in comics and he is obviously a man that loves comics. The talk was a conversation that included a slide show of his own work as well as work that has influenced him. You know when someone starts out a talk with the first page of Wally Wood's My World, it is going to be interesting. Meeting him is a highlight for me personally. Reading a Velvet Glove Cast In Iron many years ago, probably wrecked me for life, by tossing my 15 year old mind into a completely new world and moving my comic obsession from the childish into the host of this fine radio show. The Wright Awards were also fabulous. All the winners are well deserved and represent not only some of the best in Canadian comics, but also the best in comics period. Seth, Marc Bell and Michael Deforge really represent the modern Canadian identity in comics; uncompromising, developed and advanced work. Seth's acceptance speech was quite inspiring and poignant. I was really struck by the passion when he stated - "Do your work for yourself--don't think about what others want you to do.  There's no point in doing the work if it isn't done the way you believe it should be done.   Don't strive to be a professional--think of yourself as an artist." Seth is an important modern creator who not only creates excellent comics but also talks good comics.]]> 2817 2010-05-10 21:33:02 2010-05-11 02:33:02 open open inkstuds-being-interviewed-and-on-the-road-to-toronto publish 0 0 post 0 _edit_lock _edit_last ljxp_comments ljxp_privacy podPressPostSpecific ljID 59943 http://www.conundrumpress.com/wp/?p=911 69.27.120.4 2010-05-14 08:48:48 2010-05-14 13:48:48 1 pingback 0 0 58531 http://topsy.com/trackback?utm_source=pingback&utm_campaign=L1&url=http://inkstuds.com/%3Fp=2817 74.112.128.46 2010-05-10 21:43:56 2010-05-11 02:43:56 1 pingback 0 0 64912 inkstudsradio@gmail.com http:// 24.84.209.185 2010-05-29 02:38:17 2010-05-29 07:38:17 1 64288 1 59494 http://sequential.spiltink.org/?p=4184 66.33.213.22 2010-05-13 03:47:41 2010-05-13 08:47:41 1 pingback 0 0 64288 newt3232@live.com 82.34.228.187 2010-05-27 10:24:30 2010-05-27 15:24:30 1 0 0 59264 phlppgrrd@hotmail.com http://philippegirard.blogspot.com 159.33.10.92 2010-05-12 14:22:07 2010-05-12 19:22:07 1 0 0 Wolf by Chuck McBuck (Forsman) http://inkstuds.com/?p=2819 Tue, 11 May 2010 15:32:53 +0000 http://inkstuds.com/?p=2819 Snake Oil didn’t do very much for me. I’ve been waiting to see what he would do next and by next I mean a million years ago when Wolf came out. It’s part of Snake Oil but doesn’t follow the same storyline. It is a character study of an oafish, empty-stared loser who works at a mall Sears in the (I’m guessing here) late 80s. What I like about this comic is that Wolf doesn’t seem to know how he went from baby to cute kid to mohawked punk to living in his grandparents’ basement with a dead-end job and no friends, but what bewilders him made abundantly clear to us through Forsman’s controlled storytelling. The pace is slow and muddy, like the pages are weighted with Wolf’s coming lost youth—a pretty kickass trick for such a short book.

    Wolf’s narrative is interspersed with sketched post-its and lists, including an awesome one of band names like snake sandwich! and metal summer, that make plain both his boredom and lack of lofty aspirations. I especially like the melancholy of Wolf’s failure to receive punk rock’s promise of a better life come through in his sketches and in the detail of his patched jacket as he slumps his way through the park, back to grandma’s house.

    Forsman’s thin lines give the book an airy, almost ephemeral quality, like the story could just blow away if the wind picked up. Considering that it captures a time and place that feels sluggish, this makes for an interesting juxtaposition.

    Paul Pope and Dash Shaw In Conversation http://inkstuds.com/?p=2844 Thu, 13 May 2010 17:21:06 +0000 http://inkstuds.com/?p=2844 One of the things I was most excited about for TCAF, was my spotlight panel with Dash Shaw and Paul Pope. They are two modern creators, creating very modern work. Here is the official description of the panel - "TCAF Featured Guests Paul Pope and Dash Shaw are two of the most exciting creators in comics, mixing their influences and innovations to create groundbreaking work. Now Inkstuds Radio/Podcast host Robin McConnell will moderate a conversation between these two creators about the role that influences play in creating comics, ranging from traditional comics to film and music and from classical to contemporary works. This also includes a discussion of education, some key points in creating your own vision in comics, and an examination of how to make influences work and finding out where they lead you." ]]> 2844 2010-05-13 12:21:06 2010-05-13 17:21:06 open open paul-pope-and-dash-shaw-in-conversation publish 0 0 post 0 _edit_lock _edit_last ljxp_comments ljxp_privacy podPressMedia podPressPostSpecific ljID 60137 http://sequential.spiltink.org/?p=4213 66.33.213.22 2010-05-14 20:24:45 2010-05-15 01:24:45 1 pingback 0 0 60255 lookoutforsimon@hotmail.com http://www.simonshaus.com 91.115.169.124 2010-05-15 13:38:02 2010-05-15 18:38:02 1 0 0 73919 mikeshearules@gmail.com http://flickr.com/mikesheadraws 98.113.78.31 2010-06-28 10:11:20 2010-06-28 15:11:20 1 0 0 59622 http://topsy.com/trackback?utm_source=pingback&utm_campaign=L2&url=http://inkstuds.com/%3Fp=2844 74.112.128.30 2010-05-13 12:47:21 2010-05-13 17:47:21 1 pingback 0 0 96503 Schroyer@gmail.com http://www.aminoacidsadvice.com 173.234.210.139 2010-10-23 19:15:13 2010-10-24 00:15:13 trash 0 0 71578 blakean23@yahoo.com 74.162.133.160 2010-06-20 09:07:10 2010-06-20 14:07:10 1 0 0 64825 test@test.com 64.180.65.117 2010-05-28 20:45:49 2010-05-29 01:45:49 1 0 0 59965 lookoutforsimon@hotmail.com http://www.simonshaus.com 91.113.90.222 2010-05-14 09:51:48 2010-05-14 14:51:48 1 0 0 61875 clynnec@gmail.com 24.236.211.151 2010-05-20 22:00:49 2010-05-21 03:00:49 1 0 0 96603 http://blog.neonmonster.com/uncategorized/hey-read-this-inkstuds-interview-with-cartoonists/ 82.113.147.198 2010-10-29 18:49:32 2010-10-29 23:49:32 1 pingback 0 0 Richard Poplak on Kenk http://inkstuds.com/?p=3106 Fri, 14 May 2010 01:10:03 +0000 http://inkstuds.com/?p=3106 Richard Poplak, the author of Kenk, the book on notorious Toronto bike thief, Igor Kenk, joined me to discuss the book and all the odd curiosity that surrounds Igor.]]> 3106 2010-05-13 20:10:03 2010-05-14 01:10:03 open open richard-poplak-on-kenk publish 0 0 post 0 _edit_last _edit_lock podPressMedia podPressPostSpecific ljID _wp_old_slug 96694 hilma.pecinousky@bizzle.net http://aircraft53regis.tripod.com/usairlinedelaystatistics98/ 64.233.172.20 2010-11-03 05:26:28 2010-11-03 10:26:28 0 0 0 Comics and Social Media Panel from TCAF http://inkstuds.com/?p=2849 Thu, 20 May 2010 01:35:52 +0000 http://inkstuds.com/?p=2849 Here is the second panel I moderated at TCAF. I was a little nervous going in, since I am still pretty new at this moderating in public type of thing, but everyone was really great and seemed pretty happy with the outcome. Here is the official description. "Is comics a solitary pursuit, in creation and enjoyment? Or can there be community, sharing, support, and all of the headaches that come with it? More importantly, should there be? And what happens when it comes time to get away from it all? Join creators Kate Beaton, Ray Fawkes, Jeff Rowland, Rich Stevens, and James Sturm, to hear what they have to say about building communities and using social media, and getting away from the internet entirely!" ]]> 2849 2010-05-19 20:35:52 2010-05-20 01:35:52 open open comics-and-social-media-panel-from-tcaf publish 0 0 post 0 _edit_lock _edit_last ljxp_comments ljxp_privacy podPressMedia podPressPostSpecific ljID James Lloyd and Ian Boothby http://inkstuds.com/?p=2861 Thu, 20 May 2010 22:47:14 +0000 http://inkstuds.com/?p=2861 Vancouver funnymen, James Lloyd and Ian Boothby popped by to talk about their fancy new book from Abrams, The Simpsons/Futurama Crossover Crisis.

    I am really excited to finally release the full list of names and details of the Inkstuds Book. The plan is to have it debuting at APE in October. You will probably notice that it is a very diverse and varied list of interviews. It is important for me, that the book represents the show. I think we have really captured that spirit of finding an interview of a new, young interesting cartoonist such as Jonathan Bennett next to an old pro like Gary Panter. Once again, thanks to Britt Wilson for making such a great cover.
    Here are the details as listed on my publishers site -
    Inkstuds Edited by Robin McConnell Introduction by Jeet Heer Art / Graphic Novel ISBN-13: 978-1-894994-49-1 ISBN-10: 1-894994-49-3 $20.00 / trade paperback / 9.5” x 8” / 296pp many b&w illustrations / Bibliography October 2010 Inkstuds is a collection of thirty interviews with North American alternative comic artists taken from the impressive archive that Robin McConnell has built up over the past 5 years on his radio show of the same name. The interviews focus on the creative process and influences, but the subjects discussed often branch off in surprising and interesting directions. The artists chosen cover the range from the older generation of underground cartoonists to the new generation of the comics avant garde. This book is an invaluable resource, not just for comic enthusiasts but anyone interested in the artistic process. Featuring interviews with: Kate Beaton Gabrielle Bell Marc Bell Jonathan Bennett Chester Brown David Collier Jordan Crane Rebecca Dart Kim Deitch Mary Fleener Sammy Harkham Jeet Heer Jaime Hernandez Jeff Lemire Jason Lutes Billy Mavreas Françoise Mouly Dan Nadel Marv Newland Anders Nilsen Joe Ollmann Gary Panter Joe Sacco Seth Tom Spurgeon Ted Stearn Barron Storey Jillian Tamaki and Carol Tyler “It’s the closest thing to an Inside the Actor’s Studio of comics.” — Bryan Lee O’Malley “It’s rare in the media today that people who really know and love comics, creators and connoisseurs, get the chance to express their ideas and opinions with an engaged and engaging interviewer. Robin McConnell makes this possible and helms the proceedings a pleasure to listen to and now to read.” — Paul Gravett “It’s quite an interesting record of our times. All these comic artists that you’re talking to, they’re very heavy thinkers. It’s quite an archive of work that you’ve created.” — David Collier “Inkstuds is the next best thing to sitting around and talking comics with your friends.” — Douglas Wolk “Robin McConnell’s Inkstuds program ably and entertainingly brings together my two favorite dying artforms, comics and radio. Interesting, insightful, funny and informative, the show is a boon to the cartooning community.” — Evan Dorkin “Looking for elegant conversation with polished cocktail-party-gossip names? Then you’ve come to the wrong place. The vibe here is one of charming amateurism (in the original and best sense: that of passion over profit) and deep engagement with the work of some of today’s most vibrant and idiosyncratic artists. If you have love in your heart for the neglected glories of college radio or hand-drawn comic books, then Robin McConnell’s Inkstuds is a beautiful thing.” — Timothy Hodler “Right off the bat I felt comfortable and it was a conversational jam session. I knew Robin was a spontaneous person and was not going to ask questions on a checklist but to go with the flow to get the most out of me in a natural way. An hour and a half later we were done. It was like talking to someone I knew for years.” — Jerry Moriarty

V for Vendetta is one of the those books that has a timeless quality that asks the tough questions that need asking. As a creator, David has been following through with a unique uncompromised vision, maintaining a minimal but strong output. His latest book, Kickback fell under the radar, but is well worth checking out, to see where his work has developed in time and what stories are important for him to tell. David will be in Victoria on Saturday the 29th at the most excellent Legends Comics and in Vancouver on the 30th at the Vancouver Comicon at Main and 15th. ]]> 2872 2010-05-27 03:03:01 2010-05-27 08:03:01 open open david-lloyd publish 0 0 post 0 _edit_lock _edit_last ljxp_privacy podPressMedia podPressPostSpecific ljxp_comments ljID ljID 66456 lookoutforsimon@hotmail.com http://www.simonshaus.com 91.113.92.187 2010-06-02 11:08:34 2010-06-02 16:08:34 1 0 0 64202 http://topsy.com/trackback?utm_source=pingback&utm_campaign=L2&url=http://inkstuds.com/%3Fp=2872 74.112.128.46 2010-05-27 03:39:21 2010-05-27 08:39:21 1 pingback 0 0 64429 inkstudsradio@gmail.com http:// 128.189.66.168 2010-05-27 19:41:43 2010-05-28 00:41:43 1 64317 1 64317 ramondeveyra@gmail.com 112.202.177.223 2010-05-27 12:03:19 2010-05-27 17:03:19 1 0 0 96306 Chumbley@boomstompers.com http://www.golfgeardirectory.com 67.202.90.83 2010-10-13 15:06:56 2010-10-13 20:06:56 trash 0 0 96395 Malecha@gmail.com http://forexcashreview.com/ 72.254.128.202 2010-10-16 13:28:24 2010-10-16 18:28:24 trash 0 0 Michael DeForge http://inkstuds.com/?p=2878 Thu, 03 Jun 2010 04:08:50 +0000 http://inkstuds.com/?p=2878 Part of my Toronto trip, was spent interviewing a couple of folks that who's work is really exciting me right now.

    Hello, I'm Brandon, I make comics. King city(Image) and Multiple warheads (oni) Robin was nice enough to let me use his space. Some months back I got to go out to the SCAD art school to talk about comics. A lot of these images were put together for a slide show I did out there on things that excite me about this comic book medium and how it's affected my own work. Here's a panel from Asterix, I really like how Uderzo used a change in style to show the change in language. One of the comics that had the biggest impact on me growing up was Fil Barlows Zooniverse: I really like how willing to take side roads into other parts of the world away from the main story Barlow was willing to go. Like on this page where the lower 4 panels are an entirely seprate from the main plot we get a thing about an alien race that would be a huge threat if anyone could actually hear their threats. And here's a trick on the lower left of ths page, where Barlow takes the dot of an exlamation point and turns it into a space station. Also I should point out how great the politician aliens on this page are, with a garden below them fertilized by their excrement. so many cool ideas. Another fantastic artist whose work I grew up on is Matt Howarth. Here's the start of an issue of his Post brothers that has an entry exam to get into the comic. Howarth does a lot of storytelling that is specific to comics but this one from his WRAB: pirate televison is the example I like to bring up to show something that only works with printed paper comics. This page shows Ron post doing a cooking show and printed on the back of the same page is subliminals So you can see them when you hold the page up to the light: Here's a Post brothers issue where the brothers split up and splitting the panels of the book for the entire issue. following one on the top row and the other below until they meet up again at the end and the pages go back to normal. And I like how this scene from his Keif Llama shows what lies in all the directions the space ship could go. And this Post brothers page, I like the key showing what all the different textures on the page are. Howarth did a lot of stuff in his work that before I'd only seen in japanese comics. like this scene using blank panels to show the characters dive. And this, that I think of as the most effective way to show a fast zoom in comics. Showing the same character closer without a panel boarder getting in the way. ZOOM! Here's the same trick done my Masamune Shirow in his Orion book: I'm always amazed going back and looking at Shirows storytelling. I really like how in this scene from Appleseed the characters are shown ordering food and having it brought to them by the waitress. But the dialog never mentions the food. And Its done so smooth. Here's another similar scene. Where the characters are talking in the park and you see an ice cream wagon, and in the next panel they have ice cream but the dialog never takes a break for ice cream. I sometimes wonder if Shirow was just seeing what he could get away with. Like this Appleseed page that has a panel in the gutter showing a character walking out of the main story. I think a lot about things that can be added to a story that wont be missed if you don't catch them, nonsense panels. You see it a fair amount in Japanese porn comics. Here's an Appleseed page where Deunan gets hit by a car and you get this broken glass panel put behind another panel: And here's a less severe example with the lower center panel by her robots foot-- I feel like that panel reads like a beat on the page, giving her time to get out of her suit --it might as well be blank. I really like this scene from an Appleseed knife fight. Deunan has an eye patch on and you get all these dense panels and then there's a blank space on the lower right when one of the guys gets on her blind side. So you don't see what she can't see. I like the idea of comics as a kind of call and response art form, where artists will sometimes do work because they were inspired by the work of others. This next guy Locke is really Shirow influenced (while still maintaining his own voice) Here's some pages from his comic Ride and a link to the actual thing so you can read it before I ruin the end on here: Locke was kind of the older comics brother of dudes like Brian O'malley and Corey Lewis. I really like how he starts this scene with just these simple elements And then shows you the whole scene-- So the girl in the story goes off a buildings edge. And falls And as she falls you see the windows as flashbacks to different parts of their relationship. At the end her dude jumps off after her with the line, "all or nothing this is love" And the whole 22 page comic leading up to this one poetic line that Locke took off of a spear stuck in a guys face in an Appleseed comic: I love that shit! Anyway I've got lots more to get into, I'll be putting these up here for a couple more weeks. Thanks, Brandon ]]> 2897 2010-06-13 21:19:32 2010-06-14 02:19:32 open open brandon-graham-ish publish 0 0 post 0 ljxp_comments ljxp_privacy podPressPostSpecific _edit_lock _edit_last ljID 69652 joewilly@redflagpublishing.com http://redflagcomics.blogspot.com 208.31.142.31 2010-06-14 09:02:17 2010-06-14 14:02:17 1 0 0 70024 ramondeveyra@gmail.com 112.202.177.223 2010-06-15 13:50:11 2010-06-15 18:50:11 1 0 0 71942 plasell@gmail.com 98.14.89.175 2010-06-21 13:47:51 2010-06-21 18:47:51 1 0 0 69738 danielpoeira@gmail.com http://danielpoeira.org 187.20.148.53 2010-06-14 16:41:16 2010-06-14 21:41:16 1 0 0 69589 dulit1980@gmail.com http://www.sanoodle.blogspot.com 98.192.189.212 2010-06-14 03:14:52 2010-06-14 08:14:52 1 0 0 70016 mikemcghee23@gmail.com http://mmmmmike.com 98.116.137.71 2010-06-15 12:51:06 2010-06-15 17:51:06 1 0 0 69547 mmmclean@hotmail.com http://minidovecomics.wordpress.com 174.19.102.77 2010-06-13 23:36:09 2010-06-14 04:36:09 1 0 0 70856 dirk@tcj.com http://tcj.com/ 70.190.166.7 2010-06-18 02:36:57 2010-06-18 07:36:57 1 0 0 70207 sammooney1978@hotmail.com http://amangaaddict.blogspot.com 219.214.188.40 2010-06-16 04:21:45 2010-06-16 09:21:45 1 0 0 70887 inkstudsradio@gmail.com http:// 24.84.209.185 2010-06-18 04:50:49 2010-06-18 09:50:49 1 70856 1 69536 http://topsy.com/trackback?url=http%3A%2F%2Finkstuds.com%2F%3Fp%3D2897?utm_source=pingback&utm_campaign=L2 74.112.128.30 2010-06-13 22:38:48 2010-06-14 03:38:48 1 pingback 0 0 70442 momoftheyear@gmail.com http://flickr.com/zachhazardvaupen 74.72.52.206 2010-06-17 00:15:51 2010-06-17 05:15:51 1 0 0 inkstuds-mix-fiffe http://inkstuds.com/?attachment_id=2921 Tue, 15 Jun 2010 09:52:00 +0000 http://inkstuds.com/wp-content//inkstuds-mix-fiffe.jpg 2921 2010-06-15 04:52:00 2010-06-15 09:52:00 open open inkstuds-mix-fiffe inherit 0 0 attachment 0 http://inkstuds.com/wp-content//inkstuds-mix-fiffe.jpg _wp_attachment_metadata _wp_attached_file Dash Shaw http://inkstuds.com/?p=2924 Thu, 17 Jun 2010 02:56:28 +0000 http://inkstuds.com/?p=2924 Dash Shaw returns for a catch  up on his latest projects, Bodyworld, Unclothed Man in the 35th Century A.D. and his film projects.

Here's an 80's manga where the artist manages to work some comic book alchemy and turn the dull sport of golf into something I find exciting. I really like how the scene is set,:the continent, the city, the ball and the hole. and then the layout of the whole course. And there's this Toth page that even manages to show a closet sized room in an exciting way. It's intesting to me that in both these examples the text is a big part of how cool it looks. you know?   Here's a simmular 2 cops enter a room from different sides --scene draw by two serious dudes. Masamune Shirow, Appleseed:

     

    And Jose Luis Garcia Lopez, Cinder and Ashe:   Here's some old Manara pages from one of his Giuseppe Bergman books where he really plays around with storytelling, Here he takes his male and female characters and switches their clothes and gender.       And this "am i a little girl or a drawing?" It's like the teenage girl version of of the" this is not a pipe" picture.  he goes into how she would change with minor differences in how shes drawn. ending with her skirt abover her waist.    I really like this page where the girl comes up with a villan for the story. A true villan with a poo poo heart, I head the guy that runs Latveria has that condition. And here's a Manara page where he used a story as kind of a what kind of creep are you -sex quiz I love  comic book choose your own adventures. Also that dude in the gorilla suit has some nerve!   And here's a couple pages from a Pat McEown short (from the back of Weasle #1) Where he switches up the way it's read. Each row of panels is a floor of a building and you read it by following the characters in whatever direction they might go as opposed to just reading left to right. So cool.  Rebecca Dart's awesome Rabbit head book that starts as a single line of panels following one character and then as new characters are added new rows of panels are added until you get a full page. here's a Cerebus issue where Dave Sim used reapeating panels of Cerebus upset and drinking along with chunks of a larger picture of him looking big and dramatic. It gives the issue a feeling like its a music video.     -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Another thing I like to see in comics is where the story is helped out by what's printed around it. Like this Steelgrip Starkey comic that has a fold out ad for the fictinal company the main characters work for.   I love this Enki Bilal book, The woman Trap.  where the main Character, Jill is writing articles about her future world and sending them back in time with her scriptwalker machine. The 80's printing of it came with a seperate newspaper with articles written by her. The one on theleft is the origonal look of the newspaper and the right is the 2005 reprint.   And here's an Otomo book that starts with a story about a group of  kids going underground and the cover acts like part of the story.   And I really like this set up from paul Popes Smoke Navigator-- where before you even get into the story he shows you all these scenes that are part of the later comic. And a Daisauke Igarashi table of contents that I thought was cool. ------------------------------------------------- And here's some more pages I meant to get to last time. Nick Bertozzi's RUBBER NECKER. I just like how he did the lower panel here. with a cutaway and multiple versions of the same dude to show that hes looking through the place. This one is amazing to me how well it works. With the 2 guys hanging out on top of a bridge and jumping off --but for some reason the final panel is in the center. and it works.   And another guy whose work always gets me hyped about comics is Thomas Herpich. From his Cusp book, I love how once he's shown you what "do this"  means then he doesn't even need to show the drawing for it to work. And another page of Tom's with a panel just scratched out. This is another thing where I'm amazed he even tried it but it's fantastic.   My all time favorite thing to run into in comics is seeing someone who is fully capable just having a blast and fucking around. I love this page from Moebius' The horney goof with the naration in the lower panel talking about how it doesnt need to be there but how it looks nice. And it does look nice. And another Horney goof page with the compleatly unnecessary ham sandwich in the 4th panel.   And a great scene from a Newmen porn manga, Secret Plot deep-- Where a part of the story is deleted for security reasons. I really dig that arrow pointed at the building on the horizon. Here's a Katsuhiro Otomo comic that I like. Just because it feels like him messing around. i imagine this is what he'd do if he was in Heavy metal in '82   And an akira toriyama Dr slump page with lettering violence!. He does so much cool shit in his early books. Like this great scene where he draws himself as a alien with a pen head --just as an excuse to skip a scene.   And Here's some James Stokoe, (from Won ton soup 2 hyper wontonsoup twoton soup the quickening 2 ...soup) --where his characters get so doped up that the pages go blank and the reader has to finish it themselves.   I love the nerve of this ozamu tezuka scene, where he has a characer interupt an important flash back. Often when I read a comic that I don't enjoy I feel like I'm a chef taking a sip from a ladel and saying "needs more crazy"   i'll leave you for this week on these Joe Wight's Twilight X pages. Not because it anything crazy but just because I think it's a really well done reveal and I think that's worth a lot. thanks , Brandon http://royalboiler.livejournal.com --> >]]>

He is really one of the best of a generation. I can read his comics for hours on end. Paul Karasik's collaboration with his sister, The Ride Together, is really an eyeopener of a book. Paul only has a handful of comics, but they are all excellent. He is often overshadowed by his collaborators like Mazzucchelli on City of Glass, but this gives him a chance to shine on his own, in a very revealing and personal story of growing up with an autistic brother. Jack Jackson aka Jaxon, paved the way in the world of non-fiction comics. His works on the history of Texas were ahead of the curve and probably came out 10 or 15 years to early to really be properly appreciated. The first comic that Fantagraphics published was Los Tejanos, but that one is unfortunately hard to come by. For now, make do with the collection of short stories, God's Bosom and Other Stories. Josh Simmon's is still relatively young in comparison's to the previously mentioned group of folks, but you can find his books from Fantagraphics, House and Jessica Farm for disgustingly cheap prices. If you don't buy them, I will be disappointed. Have you read Dork by Evan Dorkin, if not, you really should. He is the top humour writer out there in comics. If you have a chance to ever see him speak or here him talk, do it. Each time that he has been on the show, he leaves me in stitches. The collections of his Dork books are amazing. Go buy them now. Book 1, Book 2. Phoebe Gloeckner is one of those cartoonists that when you talk to another cartoonist, they mention for her sheer skill in creating incredible personal and vital stories. The Diary of  A Teenage Girl is a timeless book that influences any creator that reads it. Any book by David Collier is like a journey into another world, only instead of exotic locales, he brings us to Saskatchewan and Hamilton. David is probably the most Canadian cartoonist I can think of. Very similar to Joe Sacco, but oozing with his own particular idiosyncrasies. One of my personal favorite stories of his, is Grey Owl. You can read it in Portraits From Life. I realize that this list is linking to Amazon, and it isn't the most ethical source for supporting a sustainable comics industry. Most of the books I listed, can be found for a reduced price on sellers that are listing through Amazon. Really though, you should be hunting through your local comic store. Take a chance in the bargain bin. You never know what you can find. Or maybe the stack of reduced graphic novel's that have been sitting in the store forever.

Friedman has also published several entertaining books, including his two critically acclaimed collections of portraits titled Old Jewish Comedians.

http://inkstuds.com/?p=3057 When I first interviewed Frank Santoro back in the winter of 2007, I was pretty excited about chatting with him, but a little nervous, since my understanding of the world that he was making my comics, was still lacking. I am a lot more comfortable with my knowledge of the Picturebox/post Fort Thunder scene now. At this point, the interviews that we were doing, were mostly one off conversations, that would be an introduction to the guest. Since then, I have had Frank on the show a number of times, and did a fascinating, if not maddening panel with him at TCAF in 2009. Frank Santoro is one half of Cold Heat, his collaborative project with Paper Rad maestro, Ben Jones that has seem to have gone to spawn more spin off projects than the original series itself. I have a feeling it is still going to be a while yet until the series is finished, but is now a nucleus surrounded by some of my favorite creators chipping into its universe.  Storeyville had just come out when we did this chat, so is a central element to the conversation. Future conversations that I have done with Frank seem to go off into wildly different directions. Frank's writing for ComicsComics, is filled a kind of enthusiasm that seems to get folks super excited for comic making. Many thanks to Squally Showers for transcribing! Robin McConnell: Inkstuds, the radio show about comics, broadcasted out of CITR 101.9 FM. It is a gross, gross Thursday afternoon. The roads are covered in just like guk. It’s just like, I don’t know. Colin Upton: It’s disgusting out there. RM: It’s just filthy. CU: It’s weird when the snow comes down but it melts on contact with the ground. RM: Today our guest is Frank Santoro. His latest book is Storeyville as well as a bunch of other things. I’m going to bring Frank on. We got you there, Frank? Frank Santoro: Hello, is that you, Robin? RM: Yes indeed. I should have mentioned, I am joined by my good friend Colin Upton. CU: Hello! FS: Hello, Colin! RM: Your latest book Storeyville is not your latest book. It’s one of your oldest books, I guess. FS: It is. It’s really my first book. But I want to mention, it’s raining gross here in the rust belt of Pennsylvania. RM: Colin was asking where you’re from and that’s what I thought … FS: I’m from Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. But I haven’t lived here in about 17 years. I visit or something, for summers or so, but I haven’t lived here since I graduated high school. So it’s pretty nice to be back. RM: You’re mainly a New Yorker guy. FS: I was actually in the Bay Area for ten years. RM: Oh, okay. FS: So I understand the rainy, wintery, the life that—I’ve never been to Vancouver but I can imagine … RM: It’s pretty mild up here. We see snow and then we see it go. It comes down for a minute and then it’s gone. Maybe let’s start with a little biographical information about who Frank Santoro is and what got you into comics, because Storeyville, really ahead of its time as far as like what you’re doing with the comics. I guess, it’s from the same blood of some of the stuff that Mazzucchelli was doing and things. FS: Mazzucchelli was a big deal for me because I was at the right age. I had a chance to speak with him about this and he said “You were the perfect age to follow me from Daredevil to Rubber Blanket”. FS: Which I was, it was perfect. I was 18 when Rubber Blankets came out. So it was great. But definitely, there was a lot of stuff. There still is a really great comic book store in Pittsburgh that’s run by a gentleman named Bill Boichel. I always read comics when I was a kid, and I had a great collection. There was a great store here. But then when this other store moved into town near my neighborhood, he just had the greatest comics sense. His store was actually named after a Gilbert Hernandez story called “BEM.” [Laughter] So I mean, it was Love & Rockets posters were on the wall. So when I was 15, I was exposed to all this great stuff. He had long boxes that were just like “the Steranko Section,” “the Jeffrey Jones section” It was a crazy, there were couches! You could just hang out. You didn’t have to buy anything. It was the first place I saw Videodrome. Like all kinds of crazy movies. He would play movies. But it was a great store, so I had an interesting chance to get a different take on comics when I was a certain age. RM: From what I can gather from your writing, you grew up as a superhero boy. FS: Totally! Yeah. I mean I read everything. I read Spider-Man. I really loved all the … the Miller Daredevils were coming out when I was a kid. My grandfather had a corner store. It was a grocery slash magazine place where you got your lottery tickets, and stuff like that. My job after school was to wait on kids buying candy and comics. So I got to have whatever comics I wanted. There was Mike Zeck’s Captain America when I was a kid, and I read all that stuff and John Byrne's Fantastic Four, whatever it was. When it moved into Dark Knight, I was again the perfect age. I was like 14 when Dark Knight and Watchmen came out, so I read all of that. Then my tastes changed and there was this comics renaissance that I was growing up in. It was really exciting, actually. RM: Many good things have changed from the old days of cheesy fromage of comics. But then it’s gone back to that recently. But I digress. FS: Sure. So all that stuff was in the air. It was like breathing. That’s why I still try to either write about or think about now is what I’m doing, or what is going on in alternative or avant-garde comics, and what’s really happening in the mainstream of comics and stuff. Because it seemed back then we read everything. It wasn’t as “I read this but I didn’t read that.” RM: Well, there wasn’t as wide a selection as what we’re dealing with nowadays. CU: Were you aware of things like the Comics Journal? FS: For sure! I read the Journal. Everything. I was aware of the Journal. Dan Clowes came to town early on when Eightball first came out. The Hernandez Brothers came to town in ‘91. My friend brought them to do a con here. It was really great, so … We didn’t think we were special or something, it was just that’s what it was. I was totally aware of all that. CU: I remember being one of these people who read the Comics Journal and that built up this feeling of comic geek elitism. FS: Right! Well, the best is when Storeyville got reviewed by the Journal, my friends who don’t read a lot of Fantagraphics stuff said, “Now you know you suck because the Journal reviewed you, haha.” [Laughter] RM: What did you have in mind when you first did it? FS: Storeyville really had been this like.., I had been doing these crime comics. RM: These were the Sirk? FS: The Sirk zines and then I was doing these minicomics. This was the Bay Area. I was living in San Francisco. I dropped out of art school and I was living in San Francisco in the early ‘90s. ’91, and ’92. Something that was a huge influence on me was Cometbus. Cometbus was a zine by a guy named Aaron. It was a Bay Area thing. Everybody read Cometbus! It was like the Internet for the Bay Area or something. It was a really great political zine, music zine, writing. He was able to do everything. So I saw these different zines and I was interested in—that was what I wanted to make, instead of paintings or sculptures in art school. I chose to make zines as that was what I wanted to do. There were no color zines. Things came together and I was making these crime comics. Then that turned into this idea of trying to do more narrative stuff then maybe what I’d started doing. I got really into Ben Katchor and I got really into Captain Easy and Roy Crane and all that stuff came together. I was really young. I was 21, 22. I was trying to figure out how I wanted to tell stories or write a story. RM: What was your interest in being so anonymous with it? Because in the hardcover it mentions how you went by the moniker Sirk. FS: It was really a couple of things. Like Bill Boichel, again, at BEM, the comic store where I hung out, he made these zines himself on the Xerox machine. He didn’t sign them. It was a BEM publication. They were these crazy abstract comics. He never signed them. He had these different voices and every one was a different title. That’s what I did with the Sirk thing. Every one was a different title. I wanted to be able to switch styles in-between magazines and not be pinned down to one thing. That was compounded with, like, I would go into Comic Relief in San Francisco to sell my zines and feel really nervous. I didn’t want to get rejected. So I would be like, “I work for Sirk Productions. Do you want to buy some zines? Yeah, it’s this guy …” and I would make up a story or something. It was this desire to be in the background and let the work speak and watch people’s reaction. I could see people react. “I love this stuff!” Or something. It felt like an easier way of getting out there and testing the waters. It worked. Then the same with Storeyville. I was just a kid. I was putting it out myself. I didn’t want to be beating my chest. I wanted it to be about the work, as corny as it sounds. That’s what I wanted. I wasn’t actually even going to put a return address on it, to be honest. There was a lot of that with Bobby Madness. You can call him a punk cartoonist. Bobby Madness, Aaron Cometbus. There were a lot of zines and papers in the Bay Area that were never signed. You didn’t know who did them, even though you knew who did them. RM: If you knew, you knew! I’m going to talk about Sirk a little more, because I’m looking at these great covers. How did you print them? FS: There was a regular Xerox machine that was introduced in the early ‘90s that you could take out the toner cartridge of black and put in a red cartridge or a green or a blue or a brown. There were stores in San Francisco that had them. I found out about them through a friend. Then I realized I could make stuff like this like a silkscreen or an offset. I could make them on Xerox. It was a lot less pretentious than a silkscreened comic! I liked the feel of it better. RM: That’s what I was wondering, because it looks to me, looking at it. It looks like silkscreen. It’s not. It’s on regular typing paper. It’s like a zine, but in two colors or three colors. RM: You do one copy and then go to the other machine and do the other layers. FS: Yeah. I would do an edition of like 200 or something, as many as I could. A lot of times, I was literally walking out of the copy store with them. I was doing my best to figure out how I could afford doing it. Trying to get by and put stuff out and then sell it at Comic Relief or something. But that was expensive. Even if I was able to get away with the two copies, then that was how—actually, I was working for, do you know the poster artist Frank Kozik, who did a lot of rock ‘n’ roll posters and stuff in the ‘90s and covers for bands? I was working for him. He was a silkscreen artist and he had a studio right beneath Last Gasp in Central East, San Francisco, and I was working for him and we started talking about different ways of printing stuff and he suggested the newsprint idea. That was sort of in the air, back then, just do a newspaper. There was this one that Mats Stromberg put out called Filth, that’s mentioned in Storeyville. There was a free paper called … I can’t remember. No, Filth was the free paper and Mats’ book was San Fransicko, which was awesome. RM: All this stuff I missed by living in Vancouver. FS: Right! RM: I’m out of this international loop! So Storeyville, this is your first shot at doing a really narrative story then? FS: Aside from some other small minicomics or something, it was my first extended story. RM: My big question after reading it is it’s the story of the guy going from Pittsburgh up to Montreal to find this other guy. Why go through Winnipeg? FS: Actually, when I read about the train lines back then, there was no direct train that went up the East Coast. I wanted to be historically accurate. He had to go west. RM: Oh, okay. I was wondering. FS: There was a problem with the train line and especially for vagrants, it wasn’t possible from what I had read. I don’t know. I found this book by a former tramp and that was part of his diary and stuff. He was able to discern this stuff through these little hobo signs that were left on train doors and things like that. So he had to go to Winnipeg. Which I spelled wrong in the book. I’m so disappointed. The printer that printed Cold Heat in Winnipeg noticed it and said, “You spelled Winnipeg wrong!” [Laughter] CU: Did you do a lot of research into hobo culture? FS: I did actually. There was a great book called Really the Blues by Mezz Mezzrow. He was Louis Armstrong’s best friend back in the ‘20s and ‘30s. He was from Chicago. There was a lot of this stuff where jazz musicians were out of work in the Depression. They ended up riding the rails between Chicago and Pittsburgh. Pittsburgh had a big jazz scene. Just that kind of stuff. That stuff was there. Then the Wobblies. I was interested in that culture, but especially, I got this book of hobo hieroglyphics. I read this book by, he was the “nice” hobo or something. He wasn’t like a criminal or something. There were some other things I had read that were along the lines of a criminal gone straight and telling his story and a lot of crime magazines focused on stories like that. Really, Storeyville it is naively written as Chris Ware points out in the introduction. It was just a hook. It was a way of getting the reader into the story and telling the story about two characters. I didn’t set out to do a crime story when I wanted to do it. I was watching a lot of film noir. There were a lot of great movie theaters in San Francisco. I was able to … it was a way of using the story and halfway through, right at the middle point where the character Rudy is introduced, it splits. It’s a different point of view. It’s a different story. I wanted to switch it over into the humanistic side of it or something. CU: You must have done a lot of visual research for the referencing. FS: I did for Montreal. For Pittsburgh, that’s what it looks like. I drew it from life and from memory. For the stuff in the Midwest, I can fake that. For Montreal, there was a book of early photographs and stuff of the docks. So I wanted to be accurate but I would always draw from the photograph and then I would put the book of photographs away and then draw from my drawings. I always wanted to maintain a distance from photo referencing. I really despise photo referencing in comics. CU: Did you use marker? FS: Sometimes, on my separation, like the colors that are built in Cold Heat. In Storeyville there are a lot of markers and things, but the whole black line was half-toned, so there would be a grey overprinting yellow and between the three colors that were in Storeyville, there are probably 18 colors I can get through different tonalities. RM: Your art school days, what focus did you have when you were there? FS: I went to an arts high school and then I got a scholarship to a really conceptual school in San Francisco. It wasn’t my cup of tea after a while. I felt that it was more interesting to make comics as an artist’s statement than it was to do painting and sculpture and video and things, which is what I had been doing through high school and the first year of college before I dropped it. I liked it. At the same time I was going to school in San Francisco, there was Barry McGee. He was around and knew a lot a graffiti guys. There was a lot of different vibe in the Bay Area about what was art and what’s flowering now in terms of Paper Rad and this alternative arts scene within the art scene, that was happening a lot in the Bay Area then. You could feel it. So it felt like painting or sculpture or video was old hat in a way. Comics felt fresh. I don’t know if you guys remember, but zines, it seemed really natural in the early ‘90s to be doing that. It was this intersection of things, at least in the Bay Area. RM: Colin’s right from that school of … CU: Yeah, I had a very similar experience in Vancouver. FS: Oh, that’s cool. I wanted to ask you guys, because some of the stuff that I really like in Canadian comics is like, wait, I have one here. Regal Beast and Michael, how do you pronounce his name? RM: Michel Rabagliati? FS: No. Michael Comeau. RM: Probably a Montreal person. I’m not sure. FS: Oh maybe. I don’t know. I met a few guys at TCAF that were … like Peter Thompson I met at TCAF finally. I was able to get a few things from there that were like the same things in terms of the zines I knew in the early 90's. It seems like that’s flowering now again, and it’s pretty nice to see. CU: The zine scene in Canada was very regional, so people that were doing zines in Toronto or Montreal might not be familiar with what was going on in Vancouver and vice versa. FS: I see, yeah. Well, talking to Marc Bell was interesting, because he was telling Mark Connery stories, who I got to meet in Toronto. That was really interesting.  We don’t have that scene in the States it seems. It was nice to see. It was a different kind of parallel universe that I wasn’t aware of. The regional aspect of it seems pretty interesting. RM: I’d say in Vancouver you’ll find more crossover with Seattle than the rest of Canada. Especially like the proximity. Seattle is like, a three hour drive? FS: Yeah, because it’s something we talk about in the Bay Area. People in the Bay Area at the time, they know exactly what I’m talking about. But then for … if you missed it, you missed it. It was before the internet, really. These were just the things that we traded and were around. CU: So much of it depended on the mail. If you weren’t actually living in the city. FS: Right! RM: The Factsheet Five days, Colin? CU: Factsheet Five. Comics F-X. FS: Is Marc living in Vancouver still? RM: On and off … FS: Yeah. RM: He is …(Marc has since moved away, but Vancouver misses him) FS: I saw him in San Diego. Talk about a talented mofo! RM: Oh, I know! And who in the most recent Comics Comics mag, where you have your wonderful article about Kevin Nowlan’s coloring work has a nice big old huge huge Marc Bell piece. FS: It’s very nice. RM: It’s very nice. FS: The great thing about Marc is he can do that first take and it’s done and it’s beautiful. RM: I know. You watch him do it and he just draws away. FS: We would take requests for him at San Diego because people would come up to the table. He would get sick of waiting around and nobody would come up to the table and get a sketch when he had a signing. So he’d go have a smoke break. We would have to take orders. Like “Oh wait, give us your cell number. He’ll call you when he …” [Laughter.] But it worked! He did a couple of sketches. It was funny. San Diego is such a madhouse. Mark soldiered through it. It was awesome. RM: I couldn’t imagine going down to it. FS: Have you ever been? RM: No. FS: Oh man, I hadn’t been since like ‘98. I went this year with PictureBox and it was insane. It was so over the top insane. There was a life-sized Jabba the Hutt. RM: Ew! FS: Yeah, exactly. But it was just insane. It’s such a spectacle. CU: I stopped going to San Diego sometime in the late ‘90s but I would go to APE instead. FS: Yeah, I miss APE, actually. Because it was always just down the street. RM: Your latest book Cold Heat, four issues out and you guys stopped putting out the separate issues in favor of an eventual collected edition, I guess. FS: Bummer! RM: Bummer! “I went and bought these comics and now I’ve got to go and buy it again?” FS: I know! Thank you to all the subscribers and everybody who bought the issues. Thank you. Thank you! I’ll make it up to you with the rest of the material. I’m bummed out about it. There was just an economic—there was nothing we could do about it. The budget we had for it … Dan, really, he tried so hard and we tried so hard and we were getting great reviews and stuff, but the numbers—Diamond Distribution is just the devil! CU: They’re not making it easier for the smaller publishers, are they? FS: No! There’s a cutoff now. It’s like if you don’t sell 600 copies an issue, you’re done, it’s over. People say “So what? Diamond this, Diamond that.” It’s not “so what.” It’s the only way to get into comic stores and there’s a lot of people who, if you got into the comics stores, they’d check it out. So it’s like, I mean, yk … RM: Oh, I completely agree. We’ve got two good comics stores in Vancouver. One of them only gets stuff from Diamond. But this other one mainly gets its stuff from Last Gasp and distributors like that, which makes me happy and actually directly orders from PictureBox, too. Lucky’s. FS: It’s great. It’s changing, but it’s still, you know … RM: Yeah, most of the comic stores will deal with Diamond, because it’s easy. FS: And who can blame them? I mean, you can’t really blame them. But then it’s just murder for the small publishers, it’s murder. When I did Storeyville, I sold a thousand copies without even trying! There were three distributors back then. There was Capital, I think Bud Plant, Diamond  ... it doesn’t matter. It was really easy to make alternative comics up until about ’98 and then it was over, and it’s just gotten worse, so ... CU: I found my copy of Storeyville in a comic shop, the newspaper one. FS: Yeah, great. It’s exciting when I hear that people like actually did have it back in the day. It makes me really happy. RM: Yeah, Colin’s got his here right in front of him. FS: Alright! RM: He’s always got to show off in front of me. CU: I’ve just been around longer, that’s all. Robin: We interviewed Pete Bagge and he brought in his copies of Comical Funnies. FS: Wow! RM:I actually did manage to get one of those, though, so I’m happy. So Cold Heat. Drawn by you, written by Ben Jones. FS: Of Paper Rad. RM: Of Paper Rad fame, I was going to say. What did you have in mind? What was the nucleus of "Let’s make Cold Heat?" FS: I think for Ben it was just an old thing that was kicking around and for me it was some old images that had been kicking around. I don’t know. We had some really casual conversations about it, really just emails and stuff. We had hung out at SPX 2005 that year and Dan and I had been talking about maybe doing like something where Ben would write stuff for other people. Ben and I were kicking some ideas around but it wasn’t anything very solid. When Dan and I suggested these other people that maybe Ben would write stuff for, Ben said, “Nah!” He said to me, “Frank, let’s just you and I do something.” I said, “Cool! Alright, sounds great.” We kicked around a few ideas, but it was really, Ben just delivered the first issue after this vague concept that he’d developed and Ben just hammered it out. It was crazy. Within a month of talking about it, we were on the schedule. It started to happen. Then we put it out and then it was happening. I remember when we got the first issue back from the printer, Dan put his head back and laughed and said, “It’s the most retarded thing I’ve ever seen!” [Laughter] It really was that. It worked! Holy shit, it worked! Oh sorry … RM: Ah, we’re in Canada. It's ok. FS: Okay, great! Yay! But it was like, “It worked! Oh my god, I can’t believe it.” So we just ran with it! Ben laughed. The message from Ben when he got the first issue was so encouraging. We knew what we could do, but we didn’t know if we could pull it off. Then each issue was just pulling it off. RM: What is it you’re trying to pull off on us? FS: Just this like take on, I mean not like … Everybody’s like, “It’s this take on a genre or something.” I don’t know if that’s what it is. For us it’s realer. I mean this is America. I mean, the crap that we had to sift through as kids, it’s atrocious. It’s part of me, it's part of us. I feel like I’m just getting through all my influences and everything. I think Ben is too. We’re getting rid of this stuff inside us. RM: Well, that’s something with Paper Rad. It’s very much obvious that they’re going through the whole milieu of ‘80s retard chic. FS: Totally! But it’s real! And that’s what people don’t get. The copycats don’t get how real it is and how much it connects to people. It’s just weird. They’re just tapping into this larger consciousness and as corny as that sounds, it’s true. People flip out over Paper Rad who don’t read comics, who like come up to the table at Picturebox and are bananas over Paper Rad. It does something! It just goes over these boundaries. Whether you like it or not, whether it’s your cup of tea or not, it’s a formidable force. RM: Is Cold Heat like you and Ben taking like ‘90s culture and compressing it and putting it through a machine? FS: I wish it was that clear. It’s not. I’m going through all my influences and I’m trying to do something that scares me. Cold Heat is funny but it’s scary. I don’t want to say that it’s like Twin Peaks or David Lynchian or something but sometimes the best things that are terrifying, that are scary, are a little funny, too. For me, it’s all that stuff. It’s not campy. It’s a sincere statement. People used to make fun of me about that for Storeyville, too. It was too sincere. I think our take on this Cold Heat thing, whatever it is, Ben’s humor is sincere, but it takes the edge off of either what we’re referencing or what we’re trying to do. I think it makes it new. I can’t explain it. For me, it works. It feels very contemporary. It’s like Storeyville is cool, but it’s this old timey thing. It’s really fun to be doing something that’s of today and is happening now and feels right for now. RM: And you feel like there’s a seed of something that’s left over that needs to be regurgitated? I don’t know if that’s the right terminology. FS: Maybe. Yeah! Maybe, I don’t know. I hope people like it, but we’re not trying to really please people. We’re trying to do our thing. If you like it, great. If you don’t, that’s okay. RM: I’m going to be honest. It’s a comic that there’s like a dialectical thing with it. You either love it or you look at it and go, “What the fuck?” FS: Sure, yeah. I mean, there’s plenty of people who have been straight up with me, like “It’s not my cup of, I don’t really like …” I’m like, that’s cool, that’s cool. RM: But I guess that’s something you guys are going for, doing a story that you want to be honest with? FS: Yeah. I mean, it‘s just fun. It’s fun. Comics to me can be fun and should not have to be fun, but it’s like there’s so much of comics that’s not superheroes or whatever, but it’s this kind of vibe and I want to do that. Part of my repertoire, I want to be able to do that. I don’t necessarily want to be the guy who does Storeyville and everything I do is about freight cars and hobos and shit. Oh, sorry! RM: It’s okay, I already swore, too. Now the artwork, a lot of influence, I guess Tezuka was a big influence for the lot of the faces in it. FS: Yeah, totally. But unconsciously. Really from absorbing, distilling Tezuka through cartoons, Speed Racer and whatever. Those Tezuka books that are out now, weren’t out when I started doing Cold Heat. I remember when I did the first issue of Cold Heat and I showed it to Dan, he said, “Oh my God! Tezuka! Look at that!” I laughed and I thought, “I guess, you’re right.” But it wasn’t, it was so unconscious. RM: Is that something that you developed in later issues? Because the faces develop I think a little more as it goes along … FS: Yeah, I wish I could…I’m just not capable. I’m not like a cartoonist, I’m not capable of doing it the same thing each time. I could, but it seems boring. CU: Actually, what came to my mind, looking at it, was Frank Stack. Right on. That’s cool! I’m trying to take everything. It’s like if there’s something that’s in there that people like or see, I encourage that. I’m happy letting it come up or go down in terms of focus and clarity and detail. I wanted to be able to change pace. In Storeyville, there’s certain sections where I let it go because I want to speed you up as a reader and slow you down with the detail. It’s really conscious, but I’m trying to make it look offhand-ish. Some people love it, some people hate it. CU: I’m intrigued by Chocolate Gun. It’s a noise band? FS: Yeah, it’s a noise band. CU: That all the kids are into? FS: Yeah. It’s a noise band that’s like Castle’s favorite band. But it’s everybody’s favorite band, so whether you’re a jock or a Goth or whatever, everybody loves Chocolate Gun. The references are obviously there to certain bands or whatever. It’s like a noise band, but that’s the beauty of comics or whatever—you never get to hear it. The Wipers references are my way of referencing Cobain because Cobain covered it, the Melvins covered it. A bunch of people covered that song. That’s a great Pacific Northwest song. CU: Are you a fan of noise yourself? Noise … FS: For the most part, yeah. I don’t live in Providence or anything, but Lightning Bolt is definitely one of the greatest bands I’ve ever seen. So is Kites. I love it. But that was Ben’s … I remember when Ben said, “Oh, a noise band.” I just laughed. It felt so today. RM: I’m a fan of noise. FS: Right on. RM: My first concert was the Melvins. FS: Nice! The Melvins lived in San Francisco in the early ‘90s and they worked in Round Table Pizza on Geary and I bought t-shirts off them. [Laughter] RM: Awesome! CU: That’s not noise. RM: You haven’t listened to the Melvins then. CU: I’ve heard some. RM: I remember the last time I saw them, “Parts of this show you’re all going to love and parts of the show you’re all going to hate.” So they did two sets. The first half was poppy whatever and the second half started with white noise and this guy … FS: Have you seen them with the two drummers? RM: No! FS: Oh my God! I’ve heard it’s amazing. RM: Well the one drummer by himself is pretty damn good, so ... FS: Yeah, Dale is incredible. Yeah, so I don’t know. Pittsburgh has a … Don Caballero is from here. I went to high school with the drummer from Don Caballero. He’s a pretty great guy and Ian is in Battles now. I’m aware of all that stuff that’s going on. When he made up Chocolate Gun it was like I think he was referencing Cobain on one hand, Providence on another hand, but Pittsburgh at the same time. RM: Our guest last week was Brian Ralph, so … FS: Yeah! It was a great interview, He’s amazing. They’ve known about it, but the kids that he teaches are the most amazing kids you’ve ever seen. The Closed Caption Crew. They showed up at SPX and just ruled it. It was incredible. Those kids are great. RM: I’ve only been to SPX once. Not the most recent one, but I went last year and I’m hoping … FS: Did you like it? RM: I loved it! I probably spent like $600. [Laughter] It didn’t help buying the box of Ivan Brunetti artwork. CU: I was there in 1998. FS: Nice! Old school! It’s great. It’s nice because it’s the same people you see at every other convention but there’s a different vibe to it. TCAF is really great. I don’t know if you guys ever get a chance to check it out. RM: The Toronto Comic Art Festival. FS: Yeah, I’m sorry. I’ve never been to it before, but it’s just remarkable. I really must say, it’s remarkable. RM: It looked great, like they had just everyone there. A whole panel with Joe Matt, Seth and Chester … FS: It was fantastic! The vibe was really nice, too. I think for everybody that did the show who was at San Diego, which was right before it, it was the perfect antidote. I think Darwyn Cooke’s walking around. It’s just funny. RMNow, we’re getting close to the end of our—well, not close. We got ten minutes, about 10-15 minutes left. So I wanted to jump into your writing for Comics Comics mag and Comics Comics blog, or ComicsComicsMag.com, which you can also check out at PictureBox, is it PictureBox.com or … FS: PictureBoxinc.com RM: You’re kind of exploring your early tastes with what you’re writing about. FS: Yeah, I think so. In the last Comics Comics issue I wrote about Ronin by Frank Miller. That was a great comic. It was a seminal comic for a lot of reasons, for the direct market and everything. Kevin Nowlan, the artist, I talked to him about color and things and I wrote about that in Comics Comics 2. I think a lot of alternative cartoonists dismiss a lot of older, mainstream stuff. I think for the most part, history begins for them with Chester Brown or the early ‘90s or something. People aren’t looking at the late ‘80s and what became the ‘90s. I think a lot of the stuff that really still influences me is stuff from that time. I find myself rereading Elektra Assassin or something like that and thinking it’s great. RM: Mm. It’s a little maddening. FS: I just want to share that, because I don’t think it’s pretentious or weird or anything. I just want to share that, my enthusiasm for those projects. RM: Well, I got to be honest, I love seeing an article about Kevin Nowlan because to me my roots are, I’ll be honest, they’re superhero. I got my superhero comics. Kevin Nowlan is one of those guys who stands out because it’s such a different style comparatively with everything else, but at the same time, he’s deep in the middle of the superhero genre. What was it to you that made you want to focus on doing an article about his coloring? FS: One of my favorite comics of all time is The Outsiders Annual No. 1. I know that sounds ridiculous, but it’s a Batman comic, Outsiders Annual No. 1. There was a new coloring process that had happened in the ‘80s. He was really the first person to master it. He just nailed this comic in terms of the color. It was all hand separations. We spoke about it and I wrote this article. I felt like these things are overlooked in comics history. Everything’s the same for a hundred years and then it changes, whether it’s Photoshop or whatever. Then there’s people around who don’t even remember the stories anymore of the ways we used to color. They talk about it, but they forget. I wanted to write about that and explore it, because that’s what I’m dealing with right now. I learned the hard way that printers don’t want camera-ready originals anymore. They want .pdfs. I was doing that up until 2005. You can give the printers your originals and now they want you to give them .pdfs. It’s over. A certain way things are colored is over. RM: That’s how you color Cold Heat, though, isn’t it? You do the layouts twice ... FS: If you look on the ColdHeatcomics.com website, there’s a little film where you can see the way Cold Heat is made. It’s like I draw everything on cheap Kinkos 11x17 paper and I just have, there’s about eight separations per page. It’s pretty crazy! RM: It’s a little labor intensive. FS: Yeah. Jon Vermilyea, who’s a fantastic cartoonist who works for PictureBox doing a lot of production stuff is the guy putting it together. He’s always cursing me under his breath. But it looks great. John does this fantastic job of getting it all right. Because it still has to be files for the printer. RM: When can we expect to see the ending of Cold Heat? FS: This summer. It just needs to get to the printer by a certain date. We’re finishing, putting the last touches on it and everything. Should be the summer of this year. I’m pretty excited. I’m nervous because there’s something about the pamphlets, it’s cool it gets out there. But the graphic novel, it’s a commitment. It’s like I liked issue 4! I didn’t like the other issues, but issue 4 was good. But with the graphic novel, it’s got to be really good for people to shell out 20 bucks or whatever. RM: What else do you have coming out? FS: I‘m really just focusing on Cold Heat right now. I have this idea about these other projects and maybe doing these parallel universe Cold Heat things for different artists with their take on Cold Heat. But not just doing a pin-up. Like people who are actually really interested in collaborating. Jon Vermilyea did a fantastic Cold Heat special. It’s great. A friend of mine, Chris Cornwell, did one that’s really awesome.  The idea that instead of doing pin-ups, everybody does a pin-up or something in the back. I didn’t want to do that. I wanted them to riff on Cold Heat and maybe bring in like … I think it’s an idea. Ben loved it. We talked about it but then it was something that just I did with Jon on my own. Ben loved it so much that we might do some other things. RM: You wrote that one? FS: I wrote that one, and I laid it out. But really it was just like I bookended it with layouts and then I told Jon to go nuts and do his thing. It’s all Jon. He’s fantastic. RM: I look forward to seeing it! FS: Yeah. RM: And we’ll see more articles at ComicsComicsmag.com. FS: Yeah, it’s great. It’s fun. It’s great to get response on that. It’s fun to engage the comics audience with something different than just the work. RM: Yeah, oh totally. One of the articles I liked, you wrote the one about the Studio book. FS: Oh right. You liked that? That’s cool! RM: I love that stuff. You look back and yeah, it’s a little cheesy, you know, a little bit of the Dungeons & Dragons-esque warriors and stuff. FS: But it still has this place in your heart. RM: Oh yeah. FS: Yeah, totally! RM: I have this wonderful crappy old issue of Wonder Woman with this Jeff Jones cover. FS: Oh yeah, man! That’s awesome? I love that! RM: You know the one I’m talking about where she’s chained to the wall? FS: I know exactly what you’re talking about! That’s the funniest thing is Dan and Tim just sort of, we all make fun of each other, the esoteric knowledge of comics that we have. But it’s pretty great. Between the three of us I think we’ve got a great mix. Tim’s a great writer and Dan, he has the chops. He’s just so busy with all these other things. We’re trying to get the next issue out. CU: I was wondering with Comics Comics, it’s a newspaper printing. I was wondering why you chose to do that instead of just the website thing like everybody else. FS: We just wanted it to be like a zine at first. I think we had this idea that we were going to do something like Arthur magazine, before it … it’s in a different incarnation now, but originally Arthur, we just thought it could be in comics stores and be free and then have ads. Then of course, nobody takes any ads out. We just wanted to still be in print and we liked the idea of still having, we found this printer and you can do these large things and we got Justin Green to do something, Marc Bell did … so you can have this giant page and somebody can do stuff. So it’s an extra bonus. RM: Without shelling out however much that next Kramers Ergot is going to cost. FS: Or the comic art. I love those things, but … we try to balance it out. We have a lot of nice high-end things and then there’s a three-dollar. You’d be surprised at how many people come up to the table, they look at everything and then they buy Comics Comics. RM: I loved the fact that you had Sammy Harkham interviewing Guy Davis. FS: I know! That’s cool, right? Because it like ties into Kevin Nowlan and it covers all the bases. It’s fun. RM: All these great pseudo-mainstream, they’re so interesting and inspiring to look at their stuff, they don’t get the attention they deserve because they’re so odd for the mainstream crowd that the … FS: Absolutely! The same kind of critical attention, you mean. RM: Yes. FS: Yeah, I agree. So it’s fun. I mean, we all read this stuff. I just want to acknowledge, at least for me, we’re not trying to take this arty slant on things. It’s more like a genuine “This is what we like.” We’re trying to talk about it without being too self-conscious about it or something. It’s fun! RM: And that’s what comics should be. Fun. Well, thank you for taking the time to join us today, Frank. FS: This is awesome. Thank you.

If you listen closely, you might notice that some of these "low-fi" musicians are also cartoonists. Some are not. Many do other things besides cartooning and/or music making. One is a defense lawyer. Another is a librarian. At least one of them is involved in the carpentry trade and there is a shopkeeper and a "seasonal" worker in the mix. There is one in particular I know nothing about other than the fact that he seems to enjoy watching television. Thanks to Kip Jackson for lending me some of his archives.

    Here's some post Wright Awards revelry. Notice the back of Dan Clowes head! That man makes great comix.

    Look, its Wright Awards organizer, Brad Mackay, and former Vancouverite performer, Robert Dayton. He interviewed Kim Deitch with me many moons ago, as well as joining in on the TCAF panel last year.

    Matt Forsythe and Michael DeForge. I probably both of them money or something.

    That there be Joe Ollmann. He has a book coming out from Drawn & Quarterly at some point soon. It sounds excellent, but then again, when have you heard about a book from D&Q not being excellent. You can see Petey Thompson and Keith Jones in the background. I like those guys.

    This about 15 minutes after I finally met Evan Dorkin for the first time. He proceeded to spend the next hour telling me everything wrong with me. I only cried a little. Also in photo, Jim Woodring and Dave Lapp.

    I interviewed Ho Che Anderson while in Toronto for TCAF. It was an amazing conversation, and then I noticed that the recorder wasn't taping us. Thanks technology.

    Inkstuds friend Jeet Heer and Drawn! contributor, Jaleen Grove check out an original Russell Patterson page. It was pretty sweet. Both of them have been very helpful with the Inkstuds book, with Jeet providing an amazing introduction and Jaleen taking a stab at some proof reading support. Thanks to both!

    My first time listed as a guest at a comic convention. I think I sold one shirt, but gave away all my promo material.

    Look! It's me and Noah and John P! Don't they look excited!

    Noah wanted to take this photo at Luckys before they did their reading.

That weekend will see me in San Francisco for APE, and a table full of studs for you to buy! The following weekend on October 23rd, I will be debuting the book to my Vancouver friends at BLIM.

From there he builds the story to its sad conclusion using hate-fuck rap lyrics written on the back of an envelope and an illiterate note about money and coke scrawled on a napkin. The decisions that Sean makes feel like inevitable steps towards doom. There are some people that just can’t be saved and Yost is showing us one of the many ways to go down. The reader is dropped into the story with only the journal entries to prepare us and the details that Yost uses, like domestic bliss signaled by sprouts-buying and the sheepish face of a thief found out, make the patchwork world real. A little girl watching TV in a dark room—from her pigtails to her delight in juice, you just know she’s going to have her innocence shattered soon. That last drop of sweet juice is what opens issue #2, a story where single moments of loyalty, cruelty and misunderstanding build to a shattering conclusion for a woman who is just trying to get by. Check them out!]]> 3178 2010-10-03 23:03:45 2010-10-04 04:03:45 open open losers-weepers-1-2-by-j-t-yost publish 0 0 post 0 _edit_lock _edit_last podPressPostSpecific ljID _wp_old_slug 96507 farrahvaulet87@hotmail.com http://ccsp.org.ua/2010/10/get-a-free-car-insurance-quote-online/ 173.234.182.252 2010-10-24 03:33:50 2010-10-24 08:33:50 spam 0 0 96540 miyokowendte91@hotmail.com http://www.articles-online.biz/finance/credit/tips-to-get-high-yield-savings-account/ 173.234.13.209 2010-10-25 17:29:45 2010-10-25 22:29:45 spam 0 0 96551 levents@yahoo.com http://www.ladies-shoes-4u.co.uk/LADIES-FASHION-SHOES-SALE/63889-Zipper-Boots-1.html 216.108.229.20 2010-10-26 03:21:33 2010-10-26 08:21:33 spam 0 0 96562 oliveahne31@hotmail.com http://on-core.com/forums/index.php?action=profile;u=276;sa=summary 173.234.182.250 2010-10-27 00:39:06 2010-10-27 05:39:06 spam 0 0 96591 Sprecher@yahoo.com http://bpc.bishopphillips.com/forum/member.php?action=profile&uid=145 173.208.18.226 2010-10-29 15:21:05 2010-10-29 20:21:05 spam 0 0 96649 hopple_sprunk@gmail.com http://www.al-nadwah.com/arts-entertainment/music/violin-lesson-is-fashionable 216.155.145.116 2010-11-01 01:54:37 2010-11-01 06:54:37 spam 0 0 96095 info@birdcagebottombooks.com http://www.birdcagebottombooks.com 24.193.254.156 2010-10-05 13:34:33 2010-10-05 18:34:33 1 0 0 makemecover http://inkstuds.com/?attachment_id=3185 Thu, 07 Oct 2010 04:21:52 +0000 http://inkstuds.com/wp-content//makemecover.jpg 3185 2010-10-06 23:21:52 2010-10-07 04:21:52 open open makemecover inherit 3184 0 attachment 0 http://inkstuds.com/wp-content//makemecover.jpg _wp_attached_file _wp_attachment_metadata Vanessa Davis http://inkstuds.com/?p=3184 Thu, 07 Oct 2010 04:29:45 +0000 http://inkstuds.com/?p=3184 I have been waiting for Vanessa Davis' new book, Make Me A Woman, for quite some time.

The interviews focus on the creative process and influences, but the subjects discussed often branch off in surprising and interesting directions. The artists chosen cover the range from the older generation of underground cartoonists to the new generation of the comics avant garde. This book is an invaluable resource, not just for comic enthusiasts but anyone interested in the artistic process. Featuring interviews with: Kate Beaton, Gabrielle Bell, Marc Bell, Jonathan Bennett, Chester Brown, David Collier, Jordan Crane, Rebecca Dart, Kim Deitch, Mary Fleener, Sammy Harkham, Jeet Heer, Jaime Hernandez, Jeff Lemire, Jason Lutes, Billy Mavreas, Françoise Mouly, Dan Nadel, Marv Newland, Anders Nilsen, Joe Ollmann, Gary Panter, Joe Sacco, Seth, Tom Spurgeon, Ted Stearn, Barron Storey, Jillian Tamaki, and Carol Tyler. “It’s the closest thing to an Inside the Actor’s Studio of comics.” — Bryan Lee O’Malley “It’s rare in the media today that people who really know and love comics, creators and connoisseurs, get the chance to express their ideas and opinions with an engaged and engaging interviewer. Robin McConnell makes this possible and helms the proceedings a pleasure to listen to and now to read.” — Paul Gravett “It’s quite an interesting record of our times. All these comic artists that you’re talking to, they’re very heavy thinkers. It’s quite an archive of work that you’ve created.” — David Collier “Inkstuds is the next best thing to sitting around and talking comics with your friends.” — Douglas Wolk “Robin McConnell’s Inkstuds program ably and entertainingly brings together my two favorite dying artforms, comics and radio. Interesting, insightful, funny and informative, the show is a boon to the cartooning community.” — Evan Dorkin “Looking for elegant conversation with polished cocktail-party-gossip names? Then you’ve come to the wrong place. The vibe here is one of charming amateurism (in the original and best sense: that of passion over profit) and deep engagement with the work of some of today’s most vibrant and idiosyncratic artists. If you have love in your heart for the neglected glories of college radio or hand-drawn comic books, then Robin McConnell’s Inkstuds is a beautiful thing.” — Timothy Hodler “Right off the bat I felt comfortable and it was a conversational jam session. I knew Robin was a spontaneous person and was not going to ask questions on a checklist but to go with the flow to get the most out of me in a natural way. An hour and a half later we were done. It was like talking to someone I knew for years.” — Jerry Moriarty]]> 3196 2010-10-20 19:09:16 2010-10-21 00:09:16 open open inkstuds-book-3 publish 0 0 post 0 _edit_lock _edit_last podPressPostSpecific ljID _wp_old_slug 96555 rouDog18@yampa3.com http://www.freestandingairconditioner.org/category/free-standing-air-conditioner 173.208.47.6 2010-10-26 08:52:46 2010-10-26 13:52:46 spam 0 0 96564 Beddoe16@live.com http://friendfeed.com/semiautopaintballmarker 174.140.172.110 2010-10-27 01:58:29 2010-10-27 06:58:29 spam 0 0 96672 Long309735@gmail.com http://successadvices.com/how-self-motivation-compliments-a-work-at-home-career/ 213.248.47.87 2010-11-02 11:51:01 2010-11-02 16:51:01 spam 0 0 96676 Lenton@gmail.com 200.97.9.77 2010-11-02 16:26:44 2010-11-02 21:26:44 cheap accutane]]> spam 0 0 96678 Swire@gmail.com 173.13.138.42 2010-11-02 16:56:45 2010-11-02 21:56:45 cheap accutane]]> spam 0 0 96679 Catinella12@gmail.com http://www.squidoo.com/understading-of-microsoft-points 184.82.110.227 2010-11-02 17:24:26 2010-11-02 22:24:26 spam 0 0 96680 Bagni@gmail.com 62.233.138.180 2010-11-02 17:47:00 2010-11-02 22:47:00 buy accutane]]> spam 0 0 96667 Keadle@yahoo.com http://www.services-provider.biz/articles/getting-a-personal-loan-with-bad-credit/ 173.234.183.145 2010-11-02 03:43:40 2010-11-02 08:43:40 spam 0 0 96704 Qualia@yahoo.com http://bloggingbynumbers.com/costa-rica-travel-tips/ 173.234.167.249 2010-11-04 01:56:36 2010-11-04 06:56:36 spam 0 0 96709 Vanecek40991@yaahoo.co.uk http://keurigb60coffee.blogspot.com 184.82.38.79 2010-11-04 10:51:10 2010-11-04 15:51:10 spam 0 0 96715 Hilston@yahoo.com http://guitarlinks.1stclasslinks.info/guitar-amplifiers/costa-rica-all-inclusive-packages---/ 173.208.14.114 2010-11-05 05:02:54 2010-11-05 10:02:54 spam 0 0 96575 Deir@yahoo.com http://www.aweightlosstips.com/ 196.201.198.172 2010-10-28 08:03:20 2010-10-28 13:03:20 spam 0 0 96573 info@weightlosschannel.com.au http://www.sedationdentistaustralia.info 173.234.49.210 2010-10-28 07:04:47 2010-10-28 12:04:47 direct car insurance australia]]> spam 0 0 96570 janeenmcilrath61@hotmail.com http://resizemyphotos.shprod.net/forum/member.php?action=profile&uid=294 173.234.13.209 2010-10-27 22:39:48 2010-10-28 03:39:48 spam 0 0 96624 staceetan51@gmail.com http://mejoresdeyoutube.com 91.210.106.105 2010-10-30 19:58:01 2010-10-31 00:58:01 white magic to under to element courts As exempted had institution had bad credit loans for unemployed love spells that work the is this result haircuts for women free housing for single moms ]]> spam 0 0 96614 Feltmann@yahoo.com http://experaots.pl/forum/member.php?action=profile&uid=114 173.234.182.152 2010-10-30 03:57:39 2010-10-30 08:57:39 spam 0 0 96628 Hopskins@yahoo.com http://www.educationobserver.com/forum/member.php?action=profile&uid=68844 173.234.182.250 2010-10-31 02:55:11 2010-10-31 07:55:11 spam 0 0 96631 buylinks2001@Hotmail.com http://www.SeoMarketingServicesOnline.com 193.124.17.125 2010-10-31 04:59:52 2010-10-31 09:59:52 spam 0 0 96632 carlygabl57@hotmail.com http://www.infernalaffairsguild.com/forum/index.php?action=profile;u=2858;sa=summary 173.208.18.226 2010-10-31 05:13:44 2010-10-31 10:13:44 spam 0 0 96638 Equihua@stick.com http://www.free-live-sex-chat.com 173.208.50.101 2010-10-31 10:44:15 2010-10-31 15:44:15 spam 0 0 96581 s_ozman@yahoo.com http://www.wizardsextreme.com 67.78.97.180 2010-10-29 07:17:17 2010-10-29 12:17:17 spam 0 0 96582 wootwoot119@ymail.com http://www.izandi.net 64.120.30.102 2010-10-29 08:08:44 2010-10-29 13:08:44 spam 0 0 96583 Drumwright11@gmail.com http://www.replicapenshop.com 186.28.229.54 2010-10-29 09:42:38 2010-10-29 14:42:38 spam 0 0 96585 Tullar@gmail.com http://www.delhidental.com/bleaching.htm 173.208.95.28 2010-10-29 10:54:53 2010-10-29 15:54:53 spam 0 0 96587 Klausner105196@shopping.com http://discountalternativemedicine.cz.cc 173.212.198.66 2010-10-29 14:23:52 2010-10-29 19:23:52 spam 0 0 96604 http://blog.neonmonster.com/uncategorized/hey-read-this-inkstuds-interview-with-cartoonists/ 82.113.147.198 2010-10-29 18:49:49 2010-10-29 23:49:49 1 pingback 0 0 96610 Phommaseng@gmail.com http://www.information-online.com/node/111726 201.59.123.11 2010-10-29 21:16:41 2010-10-30 02:16:41 file upload for getting myself moving.
