On my recent trip to Wellington I was pleased to discover someone with this Jessica of the Schoolyard tattoo, he'd never read the comic but a friend of his had the image lying around and tattoo gun. The image is originally from an early comic strip that appeared in Lava magazine. I'll post it if I can find it.
This is the SECOND animated Fot that has been edited into shorter versions (this being part 3 of #2, all of #1 is HERE and parts 1 and 2 of #2 can be found HERE). For those not familiar with FOT, it's an animated short by Alex Dron and voice by Rhys Darby, I helped out with the writing and made the odd suggestion here and there. New episodes are looking likely for an upcoming sketch comedy show called RadiRadiRah.
Thought I'd plug my new daily photo blog. This one will, of course, stay active for all The ComicBook Factory comics and animation news... have a great 2010 everyone!
Huzzah! The second animated version of Kaz's Underworld cartoon finished. Go watch it HERE or just click the image. And below is a little animated gif taken from the short...
My favourite photo from the gig... The Drab Doo-Riffs and Kitty, Daisy and Lewis played at the Montechristo Room, Auckland, 15th Dec. Check out more photos I took for Cheese on Toast on the website HERE.
UPDATE: I got a nice email back from NASA (well technically CICLOPS) saying "Dr. Porco thought your comic was cute." Dr.Carolyn Porco is the leader of the Imaging Team on the Cassini mission to Saturn. ...Made my day.
[The following is copied from Fantagraphics Flikr page] The Harvey and Eisner nominated anthology of action, thrills, chills and trangression is back with a third volume! Anything goes in Hotwire, eschewing literary high-mindedness for a pure, gut-wrenching viscerality that you can tune in and rest your brain on after a long day.
Hotwire the third leaps off the page from the get-go with David Sandlin’s “Infernal Combustion,” about boozing it up in a broke-down caddy, and Tim Lane’s bit of freight-hopping grit, “Spike.” Underground comics legend Mary Fleener returns with “The Judge,” a true tale about her own life fending off thugs… with a .38! Meanwhile, Hotwire Captain Glenn Head spins the biography of German surrealist Hans Bellmer as a down and out Vaudevillian in decadent Weimar Berlin. R. Sikoryak turns in a brand new batch of "Masterpiece Comics", as Dennis the Menace stars in Hamlet! Other creepy delights: Rick Altergott delivers a fable of a child-molesting clown pleasuring himself in the suburbs, while Matti Hagelberg’s “Passion of Atte” is a modern-day Dante’s Inferno of comics.
There’s also more knockout work and crazy visuals by Mark Dean Veca, Johnny (Angry Youth Comix) Ryan, Mats?!, Max Andersson, Sam Henderson, Steve Cerio, Stephane Blanquet, Doug Allen, Michael (Tales Designed to Thrizzle) Kupperman, Danny Hellman, Mack White, David Paleo, Chadwick Whitehead, Onsmith, Karl Wills and Jayr Pulga. Looking for laffs? A psychic jolt? A partner for your next trip? Look no further than… Hotwire!
